how is this revolver?

why revolver is actually the easiest possible gun to start with
it does bananas damage and it has bullet magnetism
its the easiest gun to hit heads with in the entire game
quite literally

why revolver is actually the easiest possible gun to start with
harder than the lasgun

if you like fast firing laser guns why not, it's not the strongest weapon right now but it's still usable kinda

He also plays vet so I don't wanna play something too ammo hungry
north cradle
For lasguns that aren't ammo-hungry for Psyker, go with the Kantrael Mk XII
viral solstice
ah yeah i would say if you want something lasery the laspistol is probs the most fun weapon in that genre right now
oddly
it's got great synergy with psyker stuff, ignores suppression due to great hipfire and you can set people on fire with it very effectively
thin finch
He also plays vet so I don't wanna play something too ammo hungry
Psyker don't have the same gun than Vet so you will not have access to all his gun, if you want a gun with a good ammo economy ,lasgun are good (especially the heavy laspitol , quite a nice one currently)

basically if u have assail u can just extend all ur melee hits with assail

what do you mean extend melee hits?
you just kinda finish your swings and swap into an assail, or a shot, or whatever

oh thats really neat
you can just practice the timing doing this

Depends on what you run
but for the most part yes, soulstealer is usually better
glossy ember
im running catachan/surge stzff
gentle marten
m2 assail costs a bit too much peril for my taste
gentle marten
Diverting its power to m2 makes it overlap with BB more tho
in my experience it doesn't really overlap enough with BB to be a problem
glossy ember
but aight ty
gentle marten
i still run BB and its only major issue is just that it's slow, and you can mitigate that by building around it
glossy ember
i love new BB it's fun
rare storm
im running catachan/surge stzff
I mean if you have the talents you can always run both
glossy ember
compared to the old one with warp charge upkeep lmao
gentle marten
i just don't know what to do with my ranged slot because my space magic is already handled and my melee weapon+combat ability+teammates can deal with hordes well enough
rose dagger
I also run BB cause I don't like the assail or smite lol, but assail psykers seem to one shot specials with m2 now
long wharf
I think current BB's base "charge" speed needs to be faster
rose dagger
Or maybe 2
rare storm
Diverting its power to m2 makes it overlap with BB more tho
I don't think it overlaps, BB essentially is now a monstrosity blitz, while m2 assail is just for taking out far away snipers
heady garnet
This is probably such an egotistical take but now that I've been trying gun psyker with scrier and disrupt destiny instead of taking like, the shield or aoe knock back with CC staffs people go down more?

it's 2-3, and heavier specials are still very much dealt with by BB

I could run both, or i can run either + a 15 toughness node

Okay then if assail didn't exist, BB wouldn't be as niche

Assail is best when there's a horde in a nice group in front of you
Just kills them all

i'm talking about the whole vibe of assail, not the actual mechanics/numbers
long wharf
but not when it's right in your face
glossy ember
Use that with regen toughness on dispelling and using peril<:thumbsup_ogryn:1063...
sounds good
long wharf
it takes longer to kill things when you can't guide assail shards at heads
gentle marten
you can really easily make anything balanced by messing with the numbers enough, but i think one big part of assail's appeal is that you can throw out a lot of shards at once
glossy mango
but not when it's right in your face
Or when its slightly too far ahead of you and the dart flys off into oblivion
wet cloak
Assail is also very good for hunting grounds, pretty much neutralizes the threat almost immediately.
long wharf
Or when its slightly too far ahead of you and the dart flys off into oblivion
yep, that's an issue as well
honestly, I'd be perfectly fine if you could only control one shard at a time
glossy mango
it takes longer to kill things when you can't guide assail shards at heads
From what I've seen it almost exclusively tracks heads
long wharf
assail doesn't track weakspots
glossy mango
So why do their heads turn to the blue mist when you kill em?
long wharf
the flight behavior makes it hit heads when the shard dives towards the target from above
glossy mango
Is that just the death effect?
gentle marten
assail can and will slice off limbs and such too if it hits them there
rose dagger
Honestly don't think assail is that OP, it's just mindless and doesn't make for compelling gameplay so I don't run it
glossy mango
Good to know
long wharf
I think assail would be better served if you only guided one at a time
glossy mango

I just like the magicy feel it has
long wharf
throwing a shard would make any shards in flight unguided
gentle marten
they could also really differentiate the two modes
long wharf
yeah, the whole "aiming" thing is rather stupid
gentle marten
make the left mouse click throw every shard at once for wiping hordes, make the aimed click throw a single, more powerful guided shard for dealing moderate damage to elites
gentle marten

obviously this would need a proper balancing pass, but it'd make assail less of a primary weapon than it is now
glossy mango
yeah, the whole "aiming" thing is rather stupid
It needs some work on actually tracking opponents far off but I feel like it does an alright job
long wharf
having every shard do a random targeting would be interesting
wooden flare
I’m trying to get Power Up done, simple penance just time consuming. And I accidentally got Pick’n’Mix done
glossy mango
Congrats
rose dagger
Make assail function more like PBM from DRG and it'd be more compelling, have the knifes chase your targets entirely by your controlled guidance and not automatically
gentle marten
thank the emperor that i'm already done with all the psyker penances lol
long wharf
I think it's stupid, because you're actually throwing the shard to guide its flight path in a more-or-less line
gentle marten
i hated warp battery
long wharf
why that would take extra peril makes no sense
wooden flare
thank the emperor that i'm already done with all the psyker penances lol
Thankfully I ain’t wanting the redacted cosmetics that much to warrant going out of my way to get those done
gentle marten
i did em all for the hell of it
glossy mango
why that would take extra peril makes no sense
If it did extra damage of something because its so much slower to throw it'd be nice
gentle marten
it does
long wharf
it does
gentle marten
it does nearly double damage
long wharf
just not noticeably
glossy mango
Well damn
wooden flare
The only one that seems difficult is Keep your Distance but it specifies Elite and melee only so that makes it seem not as painful as it could be
gentle marten
340 vs left click's 200 i think
long wharf
honestly, the only time I ever aim a shard is at snipers
and for them, the extra damage is wasted
gentle marten
eh, it can be nice for hitting faraway hordes because the shards do fly faster
wooden flare
Somehow I got Not Even Close done
long wharf
hitting a faraway horde is a waste of time
wooden flare
Some fucking how
long wharf
I still think Assail's niche would be better defined if we only guided one at a time
gentle marten
it'd have to pierce way more for people to like that
gentle marten
i like the idea of that for the m2
long wharf
give the "aim" version more target cleave
gentle marten
if the m1 provided a swarm of tiny shards that really didn't do anything to elites, but was ok at mid-range horde control
and they all just sort of hover around each other like a swarm of angry crystal bees

another question, is smite good with soulblaze?

illisi for hordes and deimos for single?
Basically yes. Illisi is great for hordes. It actually clears them vs just managing them. It falls off against armor, especially carapace. You can pair it with something that can manage those tho.
Deimos can manage hordes but you have to work a harder at it. It's not great at clearing them, BUT is is great at single beefy targets with the heavy 2.

There are multiple ways to access soulblaze. Creeping flames can be used to pair with smite. Not my prefereance but people have been enjoying it.
robust sierra
I meant running soulblaze talents
bleak tulip
well you ideally run soulblaze with everything because perilous is goated

what's creeping flames
robust sierra
well you ideally run soulblaze with everything because perilous is goated
gotcha
bleak tulip
what's creeping flames
robust sierra
oh I see
bleak tulip
you basically always wanna run this when running shriek, and you wanna run periloud combustion on literally every build
robust sierra
so with smite is it better to run that in stead of the shield
strong gulch
Yup that. At high peril, you hit your ability to quell and apply a good amount of soulblaze.
robust sierra
you basically always wanna run this when running shriek, and you wanna run peril...
where on the tree is perilous combustion
bleak tulip
I guess maybe you wouldnt run PC on a gunker build since you wouldnt take soulstealer? but yeah besides
strong gulch
so with smite is it better to run that in stead of the shield
Depends.
bleak tulip
where on the tree is perilous combustion
robust sierra
ok thanks
strong gulch
Near the top. a must imo
open stratus
Is what I'm currently running. Surge to kill elites, gain stacks, smite to clear hordes with the wildfire going.
And you gain toughness every way imaginable so you pretty much don't die
strong gulch
so with smite is it better to run that in stead of the shield
If position and defense you needed more, I'd take sheild.
If you really want to extent smite or have issues with peril management, venting shriek. If you take this, grab creeping flames.
robust sierra
here I'll show you the (half assed) builds I just made on reading through the bare minimum of the tree, I made that assail one when I was leveling my psyker and the smite one just now
there's the assail one
let me find the smite one I just made
strong gulch
I personally prefer BB with that surge + creeping flames. That way I still have CC but I also have easy long range.
robust sierra
these are PROBABLY shit
robust sierra
I personally prefer BB with that surge + creeping flames. That way I still have ...
what, surge staff?
ornate hamlet
I think that uh
strong gulch
what, surge staff?
Surge staff yes.
robust sierra
Surge staff yes.
that's the lightning staff right?
strong gulch
that's the lightning staff right?
Yes
ornate hamlet
Smite is CC
robust sierra
I think you can tell I rarely play psyker lol
ornate hamlet
Surge staff is the funny damage
robust sierra
I see
so surge is better for elites
what about purge, the one that shoots the single blast
that's good for elites and crushers right
ornate hamlet
With smite you can also swap, left-click and go back to your weapon
ornate hamlet
Smite makes it incredibly easy to open bulwark shields and pretty much stop any enemy
soft notch
voidstrike is still the elite killer imo
olive ember
just say what the staff does
so bowling ball staff
lightning staff
fire staff
explosion staff
ornate hamlet
See dog? G, LMB, swap back
See trapper? G, LMB, swap back
Don't even need to hold, just legit click and swap back
robust sierra
I see
soft notch
or just hold lmb with voidstrike 😆
ornate hamlet
Smite does have some fucky jumping and autotargeting at times tho
robust sierra
so what do you think about the two builds I have then, what can I alter to make them better
ornate hamlet
I got killed by a reaper today because somehow smite didn't want to jump its RMB to the second and only enemies on my screen
strong gulch
so wait why would you run that if you're running smite, which is lightning
I said BB, not surge. (no spice in my tone)
Surge single target damge with CC on 2 targets native. Right now, what benefits smite, also benefit surge. So you could boost smite and in doing so boost surge.
Smite is doodoo for damage compared to what's available, but it has mass CC.
robust sierra
I said BB, not surge. (no spice in my tone)
Surge single target damge with CC o...
I see
strong gulch
Purg is fine but it's also been left behind a bit. It is GREAT at hordes but enemies have been buffed. The stagger is not as strong and it struggles in mixed hordes. So you need something to handle carapace.
robust sierra
okay
so with my smite build do you think void is good as a backup? cause I'm using smite for cc
and what is the best blessings/perks to put on void staff, as well as the force swords
ornate hamlet
Void is cracked rn
robust sierra
yeah I think I'll run it
strong gulch
If you're using void, that's generally your main. Smite seems fine. Void has decent CC.
