psyker-class

[dim parrot]

surge

[toxic forge]

Surge staff?

[still hearth]

It's a funny bug

Try it out

[dim parrot]

im soooo addicted to surge rn its not funny....

this is your fault vanessa!

[still hearth]

You'll feel great when they fix the bug

[dim parrot]

lmao yee probably the only way to stop me

[radiant lance]

Is the Surge even worth using without the bug

[dim parrot]

its fine without

but void stronger

with bug its seems that it can be in similar place to void

[umbral rivet]

loving the community so far

do people just hate pyskers or?

[dim parrot]

lmao toxic/motivated

[toxic forge]

what difficulty

[dim parrot]

could be

[umbral rivet]

3 bar

[toxic forge]

Ah see thats the problem

[still hearth]

I've never seen that

[toxic forge]

Most people that play malice aren't human

[umbral rivet]

ive rezzed them both, not once did they attempt to rez anyone else

[toxic forge]

like actually

[still hearth]

Auric players tend to be okay

[toxic forge]

People in Malice have bigger egos than the average auric maelstrom player

[bleak tulip]

even if theyre shittalking they usually are bright enough to realize having a 4th person is better lmao

[toxic forge]

when theyr'e ass

[umbral rivet]

legit, only just recently picked up the game, waiting to see if they lose or not

[dim parrot]

some humans man

[toxic forge]

I've only had one toxic person in damnation this whole year, every time I play malice I want to put my head through a brick wall

because they're not human

Like all im doing is speed running for a weekly cause im tired if im on malice

and it's always some dude with an ego or an attitude

[umbral rivet]

Ill be honest, first game i had someone take me under there wing and show me how to

[toxic forge]

Even if they win you just get a free carry so lol

[umbral rivet]

This is the next day tho

[dim parrot]

haven't really met a lot of toxic people so far, the most toxic was when someone tried 2 barrel me and ended up barreling himself lmao

[umbral rivet]

Ye lol

I could name and shame them, but that would feel like a dick move so ive only shown their in game name since its seperate from their acc

[dim parrot]

yee no, dont pay attention to villagers that dont sell interesting shit

[umbral rivet]

Either way ima enjoy the next 10 minutes of browsing twitter, getting free stuff from them and then to have them inevaitably brag at the end

update on how that went btw

[dim parrot]

he the dude that flamed u?

[umbral rivet]

And they raged hahahah

Yup

Both of them ignore i and the other player

[dim parrot]

yessir

[toxic forge]

Dying on malice

could not be me

[umbral rivet]

And they imediantly raged after

[dim parrot]

karma lmao

[umbral rivet]

Didnt even get anything in other than a lmao at them

[grave yarrow]

with the "kill a boss with 90% brain burst damage", is it bugged where the upgraded version doesnt work for it?

[strong gulch]

This is why you don't do thing when you're tired.

I thought both perks were open for some reason. Went to change them only to realize that I could only change 1 AFTER refining. So now I get crit damage now.

Brick yourself

[grave yarrow]

I know its bugged with ogryns upgraded box of grenades so wanting to check about this too

[toxic forge]

so whats the point in taking smite if surge staff is in the game

[queen fog]

One is meant for damage the other stagger

[strong gulch]

more targets and CC and can be taken with non warp or cc weapons

[queen fog]

If u miss the EP inf smite just say so

I know I do but is still fun

[strong gulch]

Didn't use the infinite smite.

[queen fog]

Not u potato man, the guy questioning why to use smite if surge exists

[toxic forge]

I mean i never used smite

[strong gulch]

gotcha

[toxic forge]

I really didnt play psyker last patch bc it was braindead broken

[queen fog]

Sounds like a missed opportunity

[rotund dagger]

Should have enjoyed the infinite lightning while you could

[late yew]

What this does to psyker stuff?

[wooden flare]

So the passive effect of Warp Rider, does that mean I deal more damage at high peril or take more damage?

[severe helm]

You get bonus 10% damage even if you're at 0 peril. Another 10% base on the amount of peril you sitting at.

[wooden flare]

So it’s pretty neato

[queen fog]

yea is just a flat damage boost to everything

warp rider awesome

[plucky flax]

Real gs know it is called warp unleashed.

[severe helm]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
Should have all the answer you might be looking for

[toxic forge]

is bloodthirsty even good

[strong gulch]

Not really.

You use the special on illisi more, and even on there it's not great.

[gleaming belfry]

hello psyker experts. is there a t4 blessing of blazing sun for voidstrike or is t3 blazing sun max?

[lament zealot]

new meme build just dropped, staff primary is finally useful?

[hollow spindle]

Your mouse1 button is going to need therapy after one game

[lament zealot]

Full auto mod, or use macros. My fingers have never been so healthy when playing the Tide games.

[plucky solar]

Are there any good guides that go over the different staffs and what blessings are good with them?

[viral solstice]

brother thats no meme

thats the FUTURE

[wooden flare]

Ty

[viral solstice]

@lethal folio the build has escaped containment, i repeat

[lethal folio]

turbostaff

[lament zealot]

Seriously, I've always used the same surge since forever but now I'm going to unironically farm a new one and slap the run n gun blessing on it

[lethal folio]

Surge+nexus on trauma so you have turbo bolts and shockwave to handle infinite melee.

[potent echo]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959

[plucky solar]

ty, I didn't scroll down far enough

[late yew]

Purgatus + assail

[lament zealot]

but you're missing the 20% crit on surge 😦

[late yew]

good combo

Assail for shooters and specialists

[lethal folio]

And surge misses doubleshots

[late yew]

fires for everything else

oh lmao

i did not notice that i killed 69 ranged elites

wtf, so many

[lament zealot]

oh shit I forgot the surge blessing is also for the primary I need to test that shit

[tidal elm]

Is no warp charge buffed BB strong enough to one shot the non armored enemies now? Stuff like bursters and ragers.

[eager spruce]

get this one for the Warp Nexus 4 or is that not needed on Voidstrike Staff?

[elder jackal]

how to get this view?

[olive ember]

If you wanna do nexus + surge you prob want nexus 4

[eager spruce]

Just starting out with psyker, what is surge?

[olive ember]

Surge blessing, on crit fire 2 balls

[zenith cosmos]

just started using a surge

isk what build but its niceee

[olive ember]

There’s also surge staff

Fatshark naming conventions are 10/10

[eager spruce]

Used to play Zealot, psyker melts my brain. xD

Want to get my hands on a good staff now that I am 30, any suggestions then?

[frank moat]

Scoreboard mod

[zenith cosmos]

im using asdsail build with a surge staff and tbh its kinda nuts

assail

[eager spruce]

surge staff does what? fire lightning or fire fire?

[olive ember]

it fires lightning

pretty nice rn with the bug

without the bug kinda weak imo

tho some people think its super strong

[elder jackal]

where to get this

[zenith cosmos]

what bug

i have been 30 just grabbed a surge whats the bug i wanna try it

[olive ember]

if you take empowered psionics surge staff gets +125% damage that should be affecting smite

[cold oasis]

Honestly, i tried that bug today

[olive ember]

because surge staff rmb is counted as the same thing as smite in code or something like taht

[cold oasis]

It felt like a usual game

I honestly saw pretty much no difference whatsoever

[zenith cosmos]

i have empowered bc my assail is that why its doing so much damage ??

[cold oasis]

Actually, that's not true, i was killing non-armored trash enemies a tad faster

[olive ember]

double damage means breakpoints change so a bunch of two shots become one shots

[olive ember]

yep

without the bug expect a bunch of one shots to turn into two shots if you aren't lucky and getting crits

[zenith cosmos]

hmmm

[olive ember]

crushers are 3 shots, maulers are also 3 shots, ragers are 2(?) shots

gunners are 2 shots

dogs are 2 shots

etc. etc.

I might be off on some of these breakpoints actually

lemme check

[elder jackal]

I killed a boss in 3 shots so I guess its strong? only struggle with trash

[olive ember]

it also relies on warp charges to hit breakpoints

[frank moat]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/22

[olive ember]

you definitely are not killing a boss with 3 charges of surge staff

thats a lie lmao

[cold oasis]

the fuck, i did no damage to the fucking beast of nurgle

[zenith cosmos]

so what is needed perks to run with surge

[cold oasis]

It's just EP

but really, i did not see a difference

[olive ember]

flak/maniac/unyielding

if you use the surge bug then flak isn't needed

[cyan notch]

flakiacding

[olive ember]

tho i expect the bug to be patched

[cold oasis]

oh for sure

[zenith cosmos]

ok

[cold oasis]

but really, it wasn't as noticeable as other stuff really

[plucky flax]

Assail + revolver. Use assail for everything

[zenith cosmos]

just ran my first surge staff with this

[lament zealot]

Is this the gun psyker or "gunker" build?

[olive ember]

btw @eager spruce this is my current voidstrike

[zenith cosmos]

build and ya 3 shots was exploding the big ogryn sheidl

[olive ember]

notice the surge blessings not to be confused with surge staff

[zenith cosmos]

shield boysd

[zenith cosmos]

does that look right for it

seems OP like the big ogryn shield boys stagger on the first hit then 3rd they explode

[olive ember]

looks about right yeah

[zenith cosmos]

should i swap a perk

to make it even better lol

ya and when my peril is up i just shoot it out and light them on fire

[cold oasis]

Crit is nice, but i feel you need better perks over blessing

[zenith cosmos]

im new as of like 3 weeks to this game so idk much

about changing those

i need to rip a blessing from another spot to re bless right

[cold oasis]

ye

[olive ember]

swap out terrifying barrage for warp nexus, get rid of weakspot damage

[zenith cosmos]

i have a ton of staffs what should i look for?

[cold oasis]

and i'm pretty sure staff are each their own

[olive ember]

infested is also not good but weakspot damage is literally useless unless you primarily use the lmb

[cold oasis]

so surge can get only from surge ettc

[zenith cosmos]

i rolled like 20

so i have a ton sitting do i have to upgrade them all

[cold oasis]

oh, just crit

[zenith cosmos]

to then steal

[cold oasis]

it's the only decent one

Warp Nexus and Warp Flurry (that you got)

[olive ember]

yeah i'm hoping they buff surge staff

[zenith cosmos]

so i need to what upgrade a white

[olive ember]

once they remove the bug

[zenith cosmos]

surge

[meager eagle]

whats bugged about surge rn?

[zenith cosmos]

to get blessings hope for a good one

then snag it off

[cold oasis]

pretty much, or get it from the daily vendor

[zenith cosmos]

what is it im looking for blessing wise

and the weak spot damage

[olive ember]

surge rmb gets affected by empowered psionics, which means if you take that skill you get +125% damage

[zenith cosmos]

perk

[meager eagle]

oooohhh my gawd

[zenith cosmos]

needs to change to what

[meager eagle]

that explains so fucking much actually lmao

[olive ember]

also gets affected by the +1 target cap and 10% more damage to enemies hit from the smite upgrades

[meager eagle]

oh man surge is gonna feel like ass when they fix it

ive been having so much fun with it 2 shotting crushers in auric maelstrom

[olive ember]

basically the surge rmb in code or wte is considered the same attack type as smite

eh

surge without bug is weak

[zenith cosmos]

what perk shoudl replace

ranked weak

spot im doing that first

[olive ember]

weakspot almost certainly

surge staff doesn't hit weakspot

[zenith cosmos]

ya what should i swap it for

[olive ember]

and even on weapons that do weakspot is considered a trash perk because of how the math works

[zenith cosmos]

im in the menu

[olive ember]

flak maniac or unyielding

[late yew]

I think it is balanced now though

[olive ember]

probably flak

if you aren't using the bug probably flak

if you are using the bug maniac or unyielding

[late yew]

Scoreboard mod

[zenith cosmos]

im using empowered

bug

[late yew]

Also recommend Numeric UI mod

and Enemy Health bars

[olive ember]

probably maniac or unyielding, and then when the bug gets removed just swap that perk back to flak

[elder jackal]

so I need to download nexusmods? any easier ways?

[late yew]

it is easy as fuck already

[plucky flax]

Assail and balanced? Xd

[olive ember]

tho I am really hoping they just buff surge damage by like +100% when they remove the bug

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[late yew]

same

[meager eagle]

yeahh

[zenith cosmos]

and rip off terrifying barrage?

[frank moat]

I’m having way more fun that I expected with bugged Surge staff

[zenith cosmos]

from it and replace it with what

[olive ember]

swap terrifying barrage for warp nexus

[empty swan]

is this a good sword ?

[olive ember]

this is what I've run for a while now

if I actually used surge I would swap the crit chance for something else

[frank moat]

It was kinda meh at patch 13 launch, okay damage but way too slow for how many elites you get on higher difficulty

[olive ember]

but the blessings are still what you want

[late yew]

Not bad, but you might need to replace both blessings

[zenith cosmos]

so i have flurry so im going to upgrade

random staffs surge ones right not voids it has to be a surge

and rip hopefully warp nexus off

[olive ember]

it has to be surge

because all the staffs are in their own weapon family or wte

[elder jackal]

I need to download the mod loader?

[empty swan]

what should I aim for?

[olive ember]

stats are good, everything else is not

[empty swan]

you mean blessings?

[zenith cosmos]

2nd try got warp nexus

[olive ember]

blessings and perks are both bad

[empty swan]

only blessings can be replaced or perks too? sry im new

[olive ember]

you can choose 2 from the 4

[meager eagle]

you can replace 2

[zenith cosmos]

mint

[olive ember]

not bad not bad

yeah that will prob be decent until you get a god roll

[empty swan]

so is it worth getting the sword and trying to replace perks and bleing?

blessings*

[olive ember]

assuming you want to spend the mats to god roll a surge staff

[olive ember]

ehhh how many mats do you have

it depends on the player

[empty swan]

mats?

[olive ember]

its no god roll weapon but if you have literally nothing good it will serve until you find one

materials*

crafting materials specifically

[empty swan]

about 3k-4k each material

[olive ember]

eh I would skip it tbh, but I'm talking from the perspective of a player who already has his base kit and would literally be rolling for min maxing

[empty swan]

how do I get a 530 rating item?

[near wyvern]

This is not up to date yet

Unstable gets knocked down to A and Slaughterer will get bumped to S

[olive ember]

G2k

[olive ember]

Complete rng

[primal aurora]

Wait, Uncanny strike is S ?

[olive ember]

If you want a high rating your best bet is to sit there at brunt’s armory and roll for a good base rating grey and then go to hadron and pray she doesn’t brick it

Which is literally just

Rng at brunt’s

And then rng at hadron

[late yew]

yes, also mods framework

[olive ember]

Rng on rng

[near wyvern]

Yes

It stacks MULTIPLICATIVELY with power

[late yew]

or if you mean Vortex, then no

[near wyvern]

And it stacks multiplicatively with all + armour type perks (except unarmoured and infested)

[empty swan]

can u guys link me a good page to check best stats/perks/blessings for psyker

or all classes

[late yew]

I don't know if it exists?

[near wyvern]

Atheneum but it's not up to date for patch 14 yet

[late yew]

But it is not that difficult

for most weapons best blesings are the same

for psyker that is

[near wyvern]

Yeah there are some minor changes

[primal aurora]

Does it improve damage of the first strike?

[near wyvern]

And some of the meta weapons have changed

[near wyvern]

No but that's not needed

It's for sustained damage

Deimos hit like a truck already, which is why Unstable Power will get knocked down to A and Slaughterer will get to S

It's piss easy to reach mutant one shot with Deimos now as long as you have +maniac perk and are using warp rider talent

At 0% peril

[primal aurora]

Sustained damage you mean fighting bosses or big units like crushers?

[near wyvern]

Monstrosities, Crushers and dealing with mixed horde

You stack those 5 uncanny strikes and 5 Slaughterer stacks up and you one shot almost all the things in the game, and those that don't are two H2 and done, except monstrosities of course.

Do note that H2 also knocks things down now.

So if it doesn't kill it sends them flying

[primal aurora]

Ah, well, it is just theoretical for me. I prefer Illisi

[near wyvern]

Illisi is also really good with uncanny strike + slaughterer

[primal aurora]

Not with my aim. I use deflector or just bloodthirsty

[near wyvern]

You should consider running slaughterer + deflector then

[meager eagle]

how decent is this?

[near wyvern]

Get it to orange and we will talk. That finesse is a bit low, would rather trade stats with that warp resist

But If it's the best one you have, get it to orange and we will see what it becomes

[meager eagle]

i can probably get a better one

🤨

[olive ember]

the 2nd one is pretty good

warp res is basically useless cuz you don't use the special on deimos alot

mobility is dump stat

[near wyvern]

Yeah this is definitely better

[meager eagle]

hell yeah

[near wyvern]

Warp resist is dump on deimos

[olive ember]

eh mobility is also dump

but

once they make deimos special good all the warp res dumpers are gonna cry

trust me

one day deimos special won't be useless

[near wyvern]

Yeah mobi is not that important but if you get to choose you drop warp resist, heck I would even take negative warp resist on my Deimos so I could pump up the other stats

[olive ember]

[meager eagle]

well

thanks hadron ..

[near wyvern]

Sadge

Due to the H2 knock down keeping up Exorist & Executioner is almost impossible

[olive ember]

Hadron bricked another one

[twin vault]

Anyone available to help me try Malleus Monstronum? Need to kill a preferably Daemonhost on malice with 90% brain burst.

Ideally need a shield ogryn to hold its aggro and 2 others to handle horde control 🙏🙏

[near wyvern]

So I would swap Exorcist into Slaughterer or Uncanny Strike depending on your needs and block eff or infested into maniac

[meager eagle]

alrighty

[near wyvern]

Slaughter is better as a horde killer and Uncanny Strike makes Crushers a joke

And also increases your boss damage

So Slaughter with block eff into maniac or Uncanny Strike with infested into maniac

[meager eagle]

is tier 3 uncanny fine or should i try for tier 4

[olive ember]

i mean if you can obviously try for t4

but if you roll a t3 uncanny I think its aight

imo

[meager eagle]

cool cool

running a bit low on plasteel

[west fjord]

Trying to sort this out, what the best options to replace rampage? Not sure between shred or riposte

[plucky flax]

I've been using uncanny and rampage with my assail revolver build.

[steel flame]

Keep rampage, it's great

[meager eagle]

somewhat salvaged

[steel flame]

You just trigger it with push attack then proceed to delete hordes with light attacks

[viral solstice]

rampage is bugged and gives 50% melee damage on top of the 36% power

so very hard to beat

[near wyvern]

Tier 3 is fine cause rending caps at +100%

[near wyvern]

Don't need to anymore, they increased cleave. You can just go light spam now to trigger it.

[steel flame]

Well shit

[west fjord]

Guess I'll just fix the stam on it and good to go then

[steel flame]

I do plan on hunting for shred 4 at some point

[frank fulcrum]

thoughts?

[viral solstice]

it does not

unless you mean the effect soft caps over 1.0 adm

[acoustic spade]

Does Surge Staff have like a minimum damage rating that allows it to reach some break points or something?

[near wyvern]

But it does.

[dim parrot]

bio lodestone or overpowering souls for surg bug build?

[acoustic spade]

thinking if this Grey is worth upgrading or not

[near wyvern]

Brittleness and Rending cap at +100%

[viral solstice]

what are you basing this on

[restive slate]

Is gun psyker build still viable considering nerfed assail?

[steel flame]

.....

[dim parrot]

assail still good

[acoustic spade]

if you have a good gun, why wouldnt it be

it depends more on your gun than anything else

[dim parrot]

also help, wich is better?

[near wyvern]

My rigorous testing that I do for Atheneum.

[steel flame]

It's better than before

[frank fulcrum]

I honestly have zero clue if it does or not, but with my surge staff at 78, I can reliably one charged tap every special except ogryn and ragers

[viral solstice]

what patch

[restive slate]

What gun is suggested?

[near wyvern]

14

[thorn cedar]

@spice veldt there's a le reddit post on disrupt destiny dunno if u wanna toss your own two cents into it

[near wyvern]

Rending part is already up to date

[thorn cedar]

decent post worth engaging imo

[steel flame]

Laspistol, revolver or vraks 7

I prefer laspistol

[restive slate]

Okies thanks

[steel flame]

Stupid good with dumdum and infernus

[viral solstice]

oh for fucks sake they pushed that again

ok good ill have to bug report that

[thorn cedar]

which bug lol

[restive slate]

What do yoy pair for antiarmour?

[thorn cedar]

give us default run n gun for laspistol again 😠

[acoustic spade]

Infernus working on Assail?

[steel flame]

Excellent boss damage and melts everything else. Pairs great with empathic evasion.

[viral solstice]

this was one of the versions of rending that got silently pushed

is an improvement overall but its one of the many silent things that changed

like the bolter version

[thorn cedar]

scripting is hard

[viral solstice]

just to confirm for anybody who saw me disagreeing but not the earlier part - this is correct

[steel flame]

I have an Mk4 dueling saber with uncanny and rampage for armor

My screen cap of my sword is outdated

[hollow spindle]

Thoughts?

I don't have a surge staff yet

on my psyker

[twin vault]

Anyone available to help me try Malleus Monstronum? Need to kill a preferably Daemonhost on heresy with 90% brain burst.

Ideally need a shield ogryn to hold its aggro and 2 others to handle horde control 🙏🙏

[olive ember]

you can't do it on malice

psure its heresy or above

unless they changed that

[twin vault]

Edited, thanks

[marble locust]

So what to change to?

[summer prairie]

ranged crit to crit%, run 'n' gun to warp nexus and it's the best you are going to get

[olive ember]

run n gun to flurry, crit hit damage to crit chance/maniac/unyielding

and you basically have a god roll purge staff

[marble locust]

I got to find Warp Nexus 4 but it goes well with other two. I think Darktide is trying to tell me to be a psyker main.

[quasi junco]

hello, what should I change?

[shell igloo]

Those are definitely sexy weapons 🙏 I personally like to run deflector to help when there's a ton of scattered shooters

[still hearth]

Run 'n' Gun → Warp Flurry
Probably Ranged Damage → Caparace, Maniac or Flak

[quasi junco]

ty, now to find a weapon that has warp flurry on it lol

[summer prairie]

nothing to see here

[quasi junco]

lol on first try

[bronze hound]

Is this worth buying from Melk's?

[wanton sandal]

too low of blast radius to be worth it

[marble locust]

70+ for Blast radius

[wanton sandal]

unless u want transfer peril

[marble locust]

same for damage the rest isn't as important

[bronze hound]

Is the blessing worth it?

[marble locust]

Generally Surge and Warp Nexus is what you want

[wanton sandal]

i quite liek it

gives more sustain

[marble locust]

With the rights talents and horde you'll quell just from the 10% chance on kills

Surge Warp Nexus just goes BRRRR on hordes

[bronze hound]

I'm currently going surge staff with warp nexus and mmmm can't remember

[plucky token]

https://tenor.com/view/kingelmer-elmer-king-gif-24253697

Psyker Meta rn:

[bronze hound]

lol, definitely

[marble locust]

Psyker has an odd "Warp Knight" build that uses Scryer's Gaze to go Melee monster

[bronze hound]

Gotta love the shield tho

[marble locust]

Basically taking all the - peril, and Coold down reduction they can and they can then constantly keep it up. 10% more damage, 20% crit 20% toughness damage reduction and 20% move faster, almost always up during fights.

[bronze hound]

what melee wepaon?

[marble locust]

Warp sword with Exorcist

[bronze hound]

Illisi? Deimos?

[marble locust]

If you weakspot hit alot between talents and the blessing it will keep it down, the issue that is a learning curve is pushing can make you explode

Deimos is for elite hunting hordes Illisi works better.

Either it works on

[bronze hound]

I don't really like Deimos. Even for elite hunting

[marble locust]

The light stab heavy stab is great for headshots.

Light->Heavy and it can keep shred up doing that short combo

[harsh urchin]

scrier's is just bad rn lol

[viral solstice]

why dont u scry about it

[harsh urchin]

the cd not starting until the skill ends

[viral solstice]

gottem

[harsh urchin]

makes it awful just like patch13 exe

[viral solstice]

its good because maybe it forces them to remove the mandatory warp charge dump on f from the node

[harsh urchin]

maybe

[viral solstice]

5 dimensional chess

[harsh urchin]

the mandatory dump is insane lol

[viral solstice]

then it gets a normal cooldown AND warp charges aren't annoying

🙂

poopoo charges...

[harsh urchin]

tldr take ur pick

24% dmg or F skill

[marble locust]

They need to change it as well as the Vet's Stance ablity

[summer prairie]

more overkill dmg or useful things

[marble locust]

Overkill is useless

[summer prairie]

yeah that's what warp charge dmg does most of the time

[marble locust]

Depends on spec. It helps reach breakpoints on specific mobs

[viral solstice]

yeah imagine if there was a commonly played build that had a lot of damage over time effects in it tho LOL

imagine if it was a thing u could... choose

crazy

[near wyvern]

Illisi is the sword you can consider with Exorcist. You absolutely need those purely horizontal strikes to avoid hitting bodies.

Exorcist and Executor reset on a body hit, this includes cleaving through a weakspot and hitting another unit to the body with the same strike, which makes it unsuitable for Deimos light spam. Deimos H2 knocks targets down if it doesn't kill so also not great for L1H2 spam.

[viral solstice]

[summer prairie]

how about no

[harsh urchin]

sadly theres only assail

[marble locust]

Exorcist just drops peril

[summer prairie]

they need to rethink the whole thing if they go back to letting people just get 24% dmg for free. Like what makes it different from DD once that is also free damage stacks

I guess it would be warp charges for finesse weapons

[viral solstice]

they could do all kinds of interesting things couldn't they

[near wyvern]

DD gives also Finesse damage when upgraded. It makes Dumdum infernus laspistol reach 4k+DPS if you can get on the weakspot up close.

[viral solstice]

but anyway as they say in the business, we will see

[near wyvern]

Correction that was for scrier 4k+

You can reach even more with DD

[dark stag]

what is the highest level of delfector that a force sword can have?

[near wyvern]

T4

[dark stag]

Would 3 be alr if I wanna use it for like damnation/auric runs?

[summer prairie]

esentially no difference betwen 3 and 4

[dark stag]

really?

what is it like 2-3%?

is this good?

idk how important warp resist is

[marble locust]

Eh, stats are ok for what ilevel it is

[near wyvern]

Usable? Sure. But there are a lot better out there.

[dark stag]

alr

What should I be aiming for in a god staff?

[near wyvern]

Warp resist is pretty important on Surge, it's the crit bonus that is not that important

[near wyvern]

You don't really need to if you are planning to abuse the EP bug

[marble locust]

God's are just luck just find a high base level with decent stats, and pray to hadron

[near wyvern]

Run N Gun into flurry and this staff fucks heretics for breakfast

[dark stag]

yeeee

Mine is close to that but the warp res is ass

[orchid shadow]

Wouldn't crit bonus still be desirable since it hits so hard now? Even without the bug?

[dark stag]

I thought Surge staff likes to crit tho, so why is crit bonus bad?

[primal aurora]

Run n gun is fun now with fast primary fire ?

[marble locust]

I've never used it it just shown up in the Melk's and I reblessed it.

[near wyvern]

It's not that much of a difference per cast, the stat also doesn't scale that amazingly with the percentages. Crits are inconsistent damage it's more of a nice bonus.

Surge is one of the most peril hungry weapons, quell speed and warp resist are very important on it compared to other staves.

You might even consider running Mind in Motion if you go all in on the Surge usage just because you will spend 50% of the time quelling.

[bronze hound]

This is my surge staff

[dark stag]

380 mods

I guess I'll earn the warp flurry 4 and go back to rolling xd

[still hearth]

I think the big thing with Surge is that it spams so fast so it uses a lot of peril that way

[marble locust]

It doesn't need to be a 380 anything around 365+ is good if the stats roll right.

380 just makes it most likely to be useable and decent even if they are bad rolls.

[bronze hound]

Btw, should I change the unyielding perk?

[marble locust]

Unyeilding is bosses and 2 orgyns

[near wyvern]

1. Last time I checked it was very clunky, you gotta start sprinting first, you cannot enter sprint during LMB spam

2. Quell Cancel makes that LMB fire at almost double the rate, can't do that while sprinting

3. If you absolutely need to interrupt an enemy while sprinting, you can sprint slide and quell cancel a single LMB during the spring slide to retain momentum, essentially working like Run N Gun the blessing, but for single fire per slide of course.

[marble locust]

and one other mob I forgot the other one

[still hearth]

Comparing the cost for the staves I get basically the same amount of uses for Surge, Void and Trauma

But Surge casts are considerably faster

[bronze hound]

Savd my ass last night against plagued ogryn + bulwarks tho

[marble locust]

Bulwarks you can dodge around and Deimos warp attack kill them if you have one

[near wyvern]

Unyielding is something you should only consider for melee weapons and your Dumdum infernus laspistol

[bronze hound]

What should I aim for then?

crit chance maybe?

[near wyvern]

Do not use Deimos special. L1H2 has better DPS and now H2 also knocks down if it doesn't kill, instead of essentially stun locking yourself.

[marble locust]

It stuns the bulwarks

[near wyvern]

Flak

Half the enemies in the game are flak

OR

Since you probably one shot them with EP go with carapace

[long wharf]

nobody is keeping Scrier's Gaze up 100%

[near wyvern]

So bug abuse go carapace, no bug abuse go flak

[dark stag]

which one should I use between the 2? (it's the 2 best I got atm)

[near wyvern]

The right one

[dark stag]

alr

[reef island]

I'm having a brainfart, is uncanny strike fine or do I need to swap it to something else?

[near wyvern]

Peril gets intense with Surge

[near wyvern]

Uncanny Strike is S tier

[reef island]

oh sweeeeet

[dark stag]

What perks do I want in da surge? Flak + Maniac?

[reef island]

I try to use the favorite mod to color code when a weapons near perfect, need to just change this one

[near wyvern]

Yes if you are not planning to abuse the bug. For bug abuse you can go carapace + maniac.

[dark stag]

alr

[frank fulcrum]

whats the bug with surge

[near wyvern]

The bug will be patched out so if it's your only good staff don't rely on bugs

[near wyvern]

EP Smite bonus damage applied to Surge staff RMB

[reef island]

and you said crit bonus was the dump for surge?

[near wyvern]

Also Smite +1 targets applies to Surge RMB but that's more of additional CC than damage

[long wharf]

no

you want crit bonus

[frank fulcrum]

EP Smite just be buggy

[near wyvern]

It's not important

[dark stag]

Should I keep perfect timing or replace it with something else?

[reef island]

this is what Im workin with, the crit perk makes me sad but Im broke rn

[near wyvern]

Warp resist and quell speed are much more important

[long wharf]

what are the number ranges on crit bonus?

[reef island]

that what you wanted?

[near wyvern]

Given how critical damage is calculated it's bad

Crit chance is there yeah but as long as you don't have super low crit bonus it's fine

Basically with surge you want flat stats

Like having them all equal is very fine

Since they changed the surge staff to be a fast charging MF you spend 50% of your time quelling

[long wharf]

yeah, you definitely quell a lot

but that's also what +30% quell speed node is for

[near wyvern]

Yes

And Battle Meditation doesn't hurt

[harsh urchin]

i took it off

[near wyvern]

And warp resist definitely doesn't hurt

[harsh urchin]

cuz it's only 10% chance for 10%

[summer prairie]

battle meditation seems very bad for a weapon that doesn't kill multilpe targets

[harsh urchin]

wasn't feeling it being impactful on surge

[summer prairie]

maybe you get value with venting shriek sb kills

[long wharf]

yeah, Battle Meditation doesn't feel very good when you aren't killing multiple enemies in rapid succession

[near wyvern]

It's not amazing but depends on build if you can easily afford it or not

[near wyvern]

You always do

Regardless if you pick Baffle Meditation or not

[summer prairie]

?

[near wyvern]

Creeping Flames is ton of damage = ton of value

[summer prairie]

well obviously

I was talking about value for picking battle meditaiton

[long wharf]

yeah, Creeping Flames is much better than the old perk was

[scenic crescent]

is there a way to figure out what mission i need to finish a penace?

[dark stag]

With warp charges and venting shriek do you wanna spam the shriek or do you wanna hold onto your charges as much as possible?

[long wharf]

there's a mod for that

[near wyvern]

And you get the peril cost reduction for hitting many targets with venting shreik as well cause you have to take it to get to creeping flames

[summer prairie]

creeping flames is basically +30% damage if not more

[harsh urchin]

you dont take wc

[near wyvern]

Completely depends on your build

[harsh urchin]

if you want to bug abuse

[scenic crescent]

whats it called?

[near wyvern]

For void build I never give up my stacks so the ult doesn't matter

[dark stag]

Smite + surge staff

[long wharf]

search on Nexus Mods for "penance details", I think

[near wyvern]

For smite + creeping flames build I always spend the warp charges

[marble locust]

Yeah Voidstaff, I never do anything bud Charge attack

[scenic crescent]

perfect, thank you!

[twin vault]

Anyone available to help me try Malleus Monstronum? Need to kill a preferably Daemonhost on heresy with 90% brain burst.

Ideally need a shield ogryn to hold its aggro and 2 others to handle horde control 🙏🙏

[near wyvern]

Meh, I did it old school paper and pen tracking

[summer prairie]

@dark stag holding onto the charges is almost never worth the dps loss from not using venting shriek, not to mention the other benefits

[marble locust]

Why a Demon host?

[near wyvern]

Try LFG channel maybe?

[marble locust]

That Pennance is such trash

[twin vault]

I know 😦 I just want the sick robe lol

[long wharf]

yes yes, and we walked up-hill both ways 40 miles in the snow, but that doesn't mean there aren't better ways to do it 🙂

[near wyvern]

Cause it never switches targets so a shield ogryn can grab a corner and camp behind a shield while Psyker does the thing

[marble locust]

I assume in tha specific color scheme?

[dark stag]

is the 66% dmg acceptable here?

[twin vault]

Yeah the black and red looks sick

[near wyvern]

You forgot we had to kill a couple bears barehanded to get lunch as well

[long wharf]

with only sticks and rocks... and we had to share the sticks

[gray sky]

Do psykers call each other sibling in game?

[dark stag]

^yes

[near wyvern]

It's a bit low but it will do

[marble locust]

Yes

[gray sky]

I love that

[dark stag]

if it was 70% would it be alr?

[near wyvern]

Yes

[gray sky]

Also what’s the accent for the psyker? I heard one I thought was French or Russian but idk

[near wyvern]

70-75 all good

[dark stag]

I'll keep rolling, one day I'll get it

[marble locust]

There is also a line about Melk giving strange peircings to people who are unconsience if you are the German Psyker

[twin vault]

One I use is definitely german

[marble locust]

Under the belt peircings

[gray sky]

wanted to make a French female psyker

I was between female psyker or female zealot

Prob not gonna make any female tho

[marble locust]

Honestly the Female Beloved, and the Female Irish/scottish whichever it is, is the two most annoying voice in the game I find.

I don't know why but they grate on my ears.

[near wyvern]

Don't be too tunnel visioned on getting that 'perfect' one. Hadron will ruin it anyways. Get something that works now, keep an eye on that hourly store and upgrade when you find a better one.

[fresh reef]

What's psyker's best weapon/build for dealing with bosses as of patch 14?

[marble locust]

@dark stag I have like 160 mission on my psyker and have 3 great staves and a perfect sword, on my other characters I have 0 and I have over 200 matches on each of them. It's Rng buddy, don't hold out hope on finding what you want.

Those are successful Damnation ones.

[near wyvern]

Dumdum infernus laspistol with scrier's gaze top upgrade (finesse damage)

[harsh urchin]

melee, brainblast or precision gun

[near wyvern]

Wrong

[fresh reef]

Estimated ttk?

[near wyvern]

Dumdum infernus laspistol with +25 unyielding and scrier's gaze top upgrade gets 4k+ sustained DPS including reloads

[fresh reef]

I'm averaging 90 seconds with melee

[olive ember]

Maniac and not unyielding?

[near wyvern]

MB

[olive ember]

Also how’s the mg Ia

Heard some good things about it a patch back

[near wyvern]

If I recall monster health pool is something like 35k so that would be around 8.75 seconds

With Dumdum infernus laspistol

So yeah melee is not even in the same league here

[marble locust]

Fleshbag has the least health

[near wyvern]

Haven't touched lasguns yet, gonna check them out today

[orchid shadow]

I run BR with Surge, so no Mind in Motion for me. 😦 Too bad they didn't flatten the line on the talent tree there, like they did with the last row.

[harsh urchin]

yeah but then you're bringing a laspistol and scriers into a game

LOL

[near wyvern]

Well calculate monster health divided by 4000 and there is your estimated TTK with Dumdum Infernus Laspistol when you pop scrier's gaze with top upgrade

[near wyvern]

Yes? It two taps almost all elites

Nothing to laugh about it

[olive ember]

I’m thinking about running a laspistol claw psyker

But ngl at that point maybe I should just be playing vet lmao

[harsh urchin]

and vet one taps all elites

but also has useful ammo aura

[near wyvern]

Even without scriers it's 2.3k+ DPS so that's 35k in 15.2 seconds

Melee is still far away

[fresh reef]

Boss health pools were buffed with Patch 13

Averages around 45k

P. Ogryn I think has 56k

[near wyvern]

Double 15 seconds and it's still a third from the melee time

[twin vault]

Need 2 more for Malleous Monstronum, got the tank Ogryn

[dark stag]

Should I get this and see if it upgrades well?

[lethal folio]

Columnus Psyker is really good.

It's like autopistol on steroids.

[copper torrent]

Are you using assail for horde clear? Can you post your build, I wana try.

[lethal folio]

I hit them with my sword.

[near wyvern]

@fresh reef 15 seconds

https://youtu.be/fk7aL3DA9Dk?si=RFe1A78XeTN4BTPx

[lethal folio]

Just a full rightside psyker tree really

[copper torrent]

What's your Columnus look like?

[copper torrent]

cheers, thank you.

[tender pagoda]

Can I have a short advice on force swords? Are they good. Which one's better (and at what)?

[plucky flax]

Yes veri gud

[strong gulch]

I think hadron hates me. Like, it's personal.

[modest kernel]

hey al

[near wyvern]

Yes they are good, very good defense and offense

Deimos for single targets, Illisi for horde

both like uncanny strike + slaughterer but if you must run with deflector, take slaughterer + deflector for illisi and drop either one for deimos (uncanny increases single target damage, slaughterer increases mixed horde damage)

never use deimos special, L1H2 is the top dog, does more DPS and doesn't stun lock you, illisi special is good against ragers maulers and things like that

for perks, always +maniac +unyeidling for Deimos, always +maniac +flak for illisi

always use warp rider talent for Deimos, any decent Deimos roll with +maniac damage will be able to one shot a mutant head with the second heavy (H2) at 0% peril

[modest kernel]

i just started today with psyker any tips ore tings nott to do

[near wyvern]

don't blow up

gl with that

[strong gulch]

#1 tip

I do a lot. 🙃

[near wyvern]

if you don't you are not pushing it hard enough

[tender pagoda]

Thanks

[fierce crest]

thats the reason we have the vent penance

so you learn to blow up

[strong gulch]

You can quell btw. That makes the peril go down.

[wise pawn]

Anybody have an updated guide for pick n mix penance? Looking for build/tips/strats etc. haven’t played since January

[near wyvern]

just play hi intense?

[strong gulch]

I'm tired and taking a build I'm not good at. About to have a bad time. 😌

[viral solstice]

they let u do it, so u should do it

its simple

[orchid shadow]

Easiest s to just pick up Kinetic Resonance with Shriek and EP and go to to Oubliette Assassination mission. The 2nd drop onto the big area with the 2 floors will have elites galore and patrols for you to kill without people interfering.

[languid tusk]

how is this possible

https://streamable.com/m9yi9c

1334 damage on crusher

[near wyvern]

hand cannon on revolver gives rending on crit for melee & assail as well

it's always on

[languid tusk]

interesting

[torn horizon]

so after more testing when brain burst gets buffed by someone other than you it screws with the meter and makes it not work correctly which then fucks up how it works

and i think its specifically tided to when the charge rate gets buffed

[viral solstice]

u can do this without hand-cannon btw

[strong gulch]

rending?

[viral solstice]

just quickswap to an uncanny weapon with stacks up

[strong gulch]

yee

[viral solstice]

potato

[strong gulch]

everyday

[velvet spear]

anyone dwn to plz help me get malleus monstronum penance? coming up short in the LFG chans

[dark stag]

I'm going to chage barrage to warp nexus, but which perk should I swap out?

[lyric burrow]

specialists

[dark stag]

To flak or to maniac?

[lyric burrow]

maniac probs surge kinda murders flak anyway

[dark stag]

true

[strong gulch]

If you're doing the EP thing, I'd choose maniac

[dark stag]

I'm doing normal smite with warp battery and surge

[strong gulch]

Test your build in the meat grinder tho

Then you may actually want flak depending on how close to break points you are and what you struggle with the mose.

most*

[dark stag]

alr

[viral solstice]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1AQNI0tJ54d6PU/d1337w9cNkXm?invite=cr-MSx2djUsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

for when hand-cannon goes away

[dark stag]

Imma test and see if I one shot flak gunners with it (cuz really those are what I personally care most about)

[ancient thicket]

My psyker brothers, I am trying to complete a Trauma staff build and no matter what I do I cannot roll a Rending Shockwave blessing. I have gone through like 7 transcendant staffs now without getting any level of it. Am I doing something wrong or is this rng hell?

[strong gulch]

There's some nodes in the tree that can push damage a bit more here or there, so a perk change may not always be needed

[strong gulch]

rng hell

[ancient thicket]

This is horrible news

I guess I'll keep grinding lmao

[dark stag]

If I acquire deadly accurate for my psyker's lasguns, will my vet's lasguns also have access to it?

[fresh reef]

what's the dps of 6 stacks SB?

[snow coral]

no

per gun per class

so surge it just DPS against 1/2 baddies now, yeah?

[long wharf]

Wrong, the answer is Yes

Blessings are not character specific

[plucky flax]

[steel flame]

Welcome to roll-the-dice-tide

Took me ages to find some blessings

[plucky flax]

1.7k damage taken as psyker giga chad.

[steel flame]

I love how completely wrong attacks blocked is

Never counts jack

[near wyvern]

depends on how many target you hit and what

check atheneum for soulblaze damage per tick

[steel flame]

Also depends on the weapon you are holding

[near wyvern]

@steel flame https://youtu.be/fk7aL3DA9Dk

look at that plogryn melt

[steel flame]

Weapon perks and blessings of the weapon you are holding apply to the soulblaze

[steel flame]

Beautiful

You don't like the scrier speed up?

[near wyvern]

speed up?

you mean movement speed?

[steel flame]

The 20% speed

[near wyvern]

don't need it

[steel flame]

Fair

I like goin fast

[near wyvern]

deimos light spam with uncanny strike + slaughterer doesn't need to go fast, just ram that LMB and all dies

and if I am out of reach I draw out the laspistol

for some hipfire pew pew action

[steel flame]

Its also makes for a nice backup GTFO button

[near wyvern]

smite up to 85+ peril, ult and keep smiting (smite will auto quell at 100 and not blow you up, unless you start casting it at 100)

if you are unlucky with battle meditation, quell to 50 and then smite again

by the time you hit 100 peril you should be ready to ult again if needed

but usually at that point all that is left is a couple funny crushers

which you can continue to hold in place or finish with your melee (Deimos or Duelling Sword with Uncanny Strike)

that is if you want to continue horde spamming it

[snow coral]

what are you running?

[near wyvern]

it can also be used just as a utility tool to push away bursters and hold horde / tough enemies briefly in place

try the build I linked and let go of the bubble for a while, you will be surprised how effective creeping flames + enfeeble is

[plucky flax]

The most op build that slipped through the crack. Mk4 duelling, revolver, assail.

[snow coral]

ah, that makes sense. I'm running revolver mk IV smite

assail is boring after a few games to me

What ult are you running? I've been hard pressed to move away from dome

[plucky flax]

Tru but when you quickplay auric like this you get some truly sus teammates.

I ran the shriek fren.

[snow coral]

yeah, I should move to that because of auric, lol

[plucky flax]

I run shriek for additional horde clear. I do have rampage and uncanny on my sword tho.

[near wyvern]

the only reason to bring a revolver is hand cannon

there are much better alternatives for it in terms of the actual gun

[plucky flax]

Yeah hand cannon powered assail is op.

Although the revolver super fast swap is very nice for specials killing.

[royal granite]

idk revolver is stronger than most our staff options

[near wyvern]

try dumdum infernus laspistol

[plucky flax]

It's not as accurate as revolver to kill far away specials.

[fresh reef]

in terms of numbers, Brittleness and Rending are the exact same right?
Like, 5% Brittleness = 5% Rending?

[near wyvern]

no

5% brittleness = 2.5% rending

because decided to 💩 you

[mighty locust]

wait how can you get monstrosities in the psykhanium??

[left patio]

Ying yang shark decided to poop me

[fresh reef]

why FatShark

[near wyvern]

creature spawner mod

[dark stag]

this is what I use for my smite+surge, would you say yours is strictly better or does it come down to preferance?

[near wyvern]

you have to combine it with healthbars mod to get the health bars

[mighty locust]

oh ok

[left patio]

How does the mk7 do for special killing, is there a better alt if im running assail

[near wyvern]

you want perilous combustion & warpfire for that ever lasting flames as long as there are enemies

and charges on soulblaze kills

[acoustic osprey]

isn't 4% still better?

'cause it's from anything?

[near wyvern]

nah cause you get from kills under soulblaze

[fresh reef]

so checking my math here, if an armor type has no resistance to your damage and you apply Brittleness via rending shockwave, it'd be
8(2.5%)/4 = 5% additional damage

[near wyvern]

10% > 4%

[left patio]

Ive been using it for the time being and it seems to do just fine so far

[ancient thicket]

That’s so annoying man. I new as of update 13 and Darktide has been the only game I’ve played for like 3 weeks. It’s unbelievably fun but I can already tell the crafting is gonna burn me out. I have some great rolls on my Ogryn but getting anything decent on psyker has been impossible

[dark stag]

yes but not all enemies are going to be always soulblazed?

[acoustic osprey]

oh i thought they had to die by soulblaze

[plucky flax]

It's okay. A bit weak against maniac if you don't hit their heads or crit.

[steel flame]

I saw it coming when the game came out and I only play psyker so I've pretty much got everything what I want, but thinking about doing it for another class is not something I feel like going through

[dark stag]

Just so I understand it correctly, wildfire says that if any enemy with soulblaze dies, all other enemies will gain as much soulblaze as that enemy had before dying, does that mean if an enemy dies by soulblaze's last stack, the enemies around it won't get any soulblaze?

[acoustic osprey]

does anybody know if this is with Soulblaze itself or death w/ the soulblaze still on target?

[copper torrent]

death while soublaze

[near wyvern]

wildfire is confusing and bugged as fuck but it helps, check atheneum for all the bugs

[dark stag]

Oh it's bugged?

[near wyvern]

@acoustic osprey you can check Atheneum to see what talents and stuff actually do fools us all

[plucky flax]

I prefer warp communal even when playing soulblaze build.

[near wyvern]

it's not yet updated to patch 14 but there is tons of info there that hasn't changed

[ancient thicket]

I want to try zealot/vet too but yeah. Just getting a class prepped for damnation+ feels insane. I really hope fatshark changes how crafting works as it seems like the biggest thing driving players away

Couple of my friends who got it have said the same thing

[harsh urchin]

you dont need perfectly god-rolled gear for damnation + fyi

[plucky flax]

Yeah this crafting system make gearing another class such a bitch.

[harsh urchin]

it's not too difficult to get 3 relevant rolls

[left patio]

Yall got an assail build

[ancient thicket]

Oh no I totally get that lol I’m not going for perfect 380s and stuff

[harsh urchin]

4 rolls is just minmaxing

[ancient thicket]

I just can’t even get blessings I want

[acoustic osprey]

oh nice, something similar to ogryn enclyo w/e

[harsh urchin]

how many weapons have you upgraded

[full egret]

for a kinetic deflection build with a force sword, is damage resistance gunner sor stamina regen better?

[plucky flax]

I lost 30k plasteels 2 days ago trying to get surgical t4 for revolver. (I didn't get it)

[acoustic osprey]

oh wait 🥲

[harsh urchin]

generally you can get the blessings you want after pushing 4-5 of that weapon to gold

[steel flame]

It took me six months to find the dumdum 4 blessings for my laspistol

That's stupid

[plucky flax]

Generally, but sometimes RNG does something incredible.

[harsh urchin]

IMO they need to make the difficulty of the mission scale the drops

[acoustic osprey]

understatement

[harsh urchin]

the random drops you get at the end of game are always dogshit

[acoustic osprey]

sometimes it feels like i'd have better luck doing surgery for the first time

[harsh urchin]

if they make it so they have higher chance to drop higher quality items with better blessings

[ancient thicket]

I’ve been mailing Trauma staff and have warp flurry 3 at least, but I haven’t hit a single rending shockwave. Not of any level. I’ve burned all my plasteel at this point

[harsh urchin]

that should fix a lot

[plucky flax]

After my 30k plasteels lost I wasn't even that mad. I was just like "Wow this system is so stupid FS are real geniuses to leave it in the game /s"

[steel flame]

It would be nice if crafting had a pity system if nothing else

[acoustic osprey]

my psyker is the least well equipped, but i can't even find good base weapons

[ancient thicket]

I mean I could be wrong but I think shockwave is rly important for trauma at endgame?

[harsh urchin]

I dont think pity system is needed

[acoustic osprey]

brunt dropped like 50 sub 330s in a row

[plucky flax]

Xxd

[harsh urchin]

just need a way to get the drops

[plucky flax]

Gamble with brunt. Gamble with hadron.

Gambling gambling.

[harsh urchin]

there's just no way currently

[steel flame]

For certain modifiers it's very nice.

[acoustic osprey]

when you salvage trash..you should get like 50% of resources back

[plucky flax]

I don't run rending on my trauma and I am fine. 🙂

[acoustic osprey]

brunt just buys everyone's trash for 1k and puts it back in the shop for another player 🥹

[steel flame]

Blazing spirit/nexus is another trauma combo that works well

[acoustic osprey]

yeee i like fire trauma

[ancient thicket]

Hmm ok. It doesn’t help that I’ve only gotten like volley and that peril reduction on crit blessing lol

I have blazing spirit and nexus 3 so maybe I gotta try that

[steel flame]

Fyi, blaze only goes to level 3 on staves

[ancient thicket]

Ok very good to know

[plucky flax]

Nexus has lvl 4 tho.

[ancient thicket]

I have tried the other staffs, Purgatus is fun and voidstrike is crazy but a little boring imo. Haven’t used the smite one much

[ancient thicket]

I’ve read Nexus 4 is important for the flame trauma but I don’t have that either 😭

[steel flame]

Fat shark it too cowardly to give us the earthSHAKING power of 8 stacks of fire on staves

[ancient thicket]

Lol I need more fire

[steel flame]

Laspistol is also fun on psyker

[plucky flax]

True. Give us blazing spirits 4.

4 stacks on crit max stack 8 would be based.

[viral solstice]

u know what i want

i want blazing spirit on laspistol

for psyker only

and u can run blazing spirit infernus laspistol psyker

[ancient thicket]

I’ve played a bit of gunpsyker and it’s fun, I gotta use it more. But more weapons to roll…

[left patio]

Is psyker the strongest class?

[steel flame]

That would be dope as fuck

[steel flame]

Always has been

[stable silo]

psyker is strungkest for controller

[harsh urchin]

there's a build in payday2

with poison that hits all the one-shot breakpoints for 95% of the enemies

so u just run through the map tapping each enemy once

[plucky flax]

Psyker is very strong but right now vet shout is super cracked up op.

[harsh urchin]

and they all die 6 seconds later

i'd be down for blazing infernus laspistol psyker if they had dat

[steel flame]

I had a build like that in cyberpunk

It was fun

But yeah I'd love infernus to proc soulblaze rather than fire on psyker, I don't care how little sense it makes

[near wyvern]

make lasguns shoot blue lazors on psyker and use peril as ammo

then it could make sense

[steel flame]

I was thinking the same thing

Blue lasers were always cooler than red lasers in starwars

[near wyvern]

green da best

[steel flame]

Tru

[brazen warren]

class strength with ease of use factored in probably goes: ogryn=zealot>psyker>veteran

keep in mind that the total differences in final power are quite slim, but making full use of that through out a match differs greatly depending on the user

[strong gulch]

I vote green because green gang.

Idk what is supposed to be green.

oh lasers

[steel flame]

If we talking damage output, psykers at the top rn

[brazen warren]

aoe damage or single target?

[viral solstice]

this is what i want for scriers

when its active

ur muzzle flashes turn blue, going deeper purple with higher peril

and ur sounds get WARP BOOSTED

thats like bass boosting but warpier

[left patio]

I know how to use power 😜

[dim parrot]

I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire.

[dark stag]

I never knew kinetic deflection was so good, I tanked a demonhost for like 2-3 mins straight

[torpid girder]

Does anyone know how much plasteel it takes to gold an item?

[fervent portal]

Keep Thrust 3 and change the 2 perks or go Thrust 4 + Unyielding?

[viral solstice]

also trickshooter should get stacked by assail

its common sense

[torpid girder]

I think i stumbled into a convention

[viral solstice]

emperor feetlover

i like that ur joining in as best u can

very strong silent but supportive friend energy

[idle bay]

After playing for two day with EP Surge.. i'm feeling dirty... very dirty.

[fervent portal]

Oh wronk class lol sry^^

[sick veldt]

which of these is a better spread? aka how valuable is 10% warp res

[twin vault]

Whats the go-to weapon for anti-monster and anti-crusher/mauler/bulwark?

[viral solstice]

the wizard staff

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1AN6GDxvcdFpmV/d13377atblYu?invite=cr-MSw5VmQsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

ok im joking but its pretty funny u can stagger him

otherwise duelling sword 4 is great vs those 3 and one of the best melee options vs monstrosities too

[twin vault]

I heard something about a pistol before that does burn damage stacks?

[viral solstice]

laspistol with infernus and dumdum is a pretty good problem solver

won't help much vs crushers tho it will chip them down eventually with crits, but annihilates maulers, decent vs bulwarks, decent vs monsters with some setup

[twin vault]

Right now my setup is a voidstrike, force sword, and assail -- The assail is an anti everything but maulers/bulwarks/monsters/crushers so trying to get a weapon that can handily do some damage vs that variety

[viral solstice]

if you like force swords just grab an uncanny deimos and you will manhandle crushers too

knock them around

knock around bulwarks

and it looks kinda like a dong so you know

got that going for it

[plucky flax]

Loner aura W

[full egret]

trying my hardest to turn smite intoa primary weapon lol

if only it could crit

[torpid girder]

They ran ahead of the team and got netted and then immediately dcd :(

[viral solstice]

best luck i had with that when testing it was just comboing ep with venting shriek and roasting them in the pink nonsense

sometimes it paid off

[brittle ivy]

One of my builds runs assail with surge staff so I can handle carapice + hordes.

[viral solstice]

the other thing i tried was purg surge

and it was a triumph of wishful thinking

idk at least it looks fun

[carmine agate]

Smite shld let u power up medicae station

[viral solstice]

duoed some aurics with it but thats just the power of friendship

[plucky flax]

Weakest loner zealot.

[warped sky]

what perks should I get for this?

[torpid girder]

I'm actually a little impressed how they went so far alone considering the other 2 people were also zealots

[torpid girder]

Flak and Manic I think?

[warped sky]

thanks

[plucky flax]

On the right hand side of zealot tree you get extra sprint speed, extra stamina.

You also run faster in stealth.

So it's truly zoom zoom.

[viral solstice]

improved handsomeness

[spice veldt]

i've had my fill of reddit for now 😔

[fresh reef]

:/

[harsh urchin]

you know what i'd like darts reworked into

rework darts into kerillian javelins

and i'd be happy

[warped sky]

anyone have a brain rupture skill tree for monstrosities?

[spice veldt]

i want a quickswap weapon and no more and no less

[glossy ember]

fellas, which melee weapon has a parry and is good for crowds

was it the catachan sword?

[harsh urchin]

yes

[glossy ember]

thank you

[brazen warren]

so many rager spawns recently

[fresh reef]

just had my entire team get ledged by a BoN death explosion

then our vet just says "THIS MAP SUCKS" and promptly disconnects

[unborn prawn]

One is a bit of an all rounder, one is more for single target, and another is good at crowd control. The special attack is also different, in the all rounder and single target sword it's a channeled high damage on single enemy, in the CC one is't a high-cleave medium-damage sweep. don't ahve an exact breackdown but you can buy them cheap at brunt's armory and find out

[errant axle]

Fuck no. No, are you on drugs
They're entirely fine as is

Weak shitty toss at specialist thingies

[unborn prawn]

@dark swift

[errant axle]

Kerillian javelins are like tree trunks

[delicate stratus]

Has anyone figured out a decent Smite build?

[unborn prawn]

I get the feeling Smite is supposed to be a way to balance out single target damage builds and make them not useless against hordes, rather than be what you make a build around

I use it in my Scrier's Gaze/Laspistol/Dueling Sword build and it works well enough

As for making a whole build around it... not sure if it's possible

[delicate stratus]

Hm.

I was thinking a combination of soulfire/smite would work well, with a focus on lowering CD of shriek as much as possible

So you CC super hard and DOT everything to death.

[dark stag]

is this fixable or just scrap for blessing?

[wispy pike]

Smite is nice for paralyzing everything in range

[unborn prawn]

Yeah it's good for pinning down Hordes and have you mates kill them, or for stopping Muties/Ragers in their tracks. It's good CC but requires the team to follow up with damage most time

[full egret]

Yeah, been thinking about it, but at that point why wouldn't you just purgatus them to death
