psyker-class

[harsh urchin]

with the state of psyker ulti

and the state of warp charges

[slate sun]

Voidstrike is still kind of ok to play but I was on the verge of just quitting the class altogether ...

[harsh urchin]

and the state of DD

[severe folio]

what do you guys think about this gun

[slate sun]

it's a gun

[severe folio]

or is this not a good IG to have

[harsh urchin]

stopping power is a bit low

[severe folio]

thats true

[harsh urchin]

you really want higher rolls on dmg + stopping power

since that affects your base dmg

[severe folio]

make sense

is this even a good IG model though

you know, this mk

[harsh urchin]

all the iags are good now

[severe folio]

oh ok

[harsh urchin]

it just comes down to preference

[severe folio]

i have only been fiddling with the agripinaa mk1

[harsh urchin]

they have different recoil patterns, kick, etc

[severe folio]

yeah

[harsh urchin]

some do less dmg in exchange for better weapon handling

[severe folio]

i see

[harsh urchin]

some do more dmg in exchange for being worse at long range etc

[severe folio]

i think thats what i use

which one is the model with more handling

columnus ?

[compact bluff]

graia

[severe folio]

oh

lowest damage too right ?

i saw a vet build with raking fire columus

i assumethe columus is the middle option

[harsh urchin]

@spice veldt you know what'd be cool was if psyker got an additional item slot

like a focus

[spice veldt]

as far as I can tell, agri and graia are basically different flavors of mostly the same thing breakpoints aside, and the columnus has the highest DPS up close at the cost of having less total damage per mag and more severe damage falloff

[harsh urchin]

that had 2 perks and 2 blessings

that were for the blitz

[severe folio]

oh i see

[harsh urchin]

so you could further tune assail, bb or smite

[spice veldt]

that would be one way to make it interact with the crafting system

[severe folio]

wait agripina is the weapon handling focused gun ?

[spice veldt]

though as it stands, you basically just pick a certain combination of perks/blessings that happen to suit 90% of the use cases of the blitz

[compact bluff]

no, graia is the more weapon handling focused one

[spice veldt]

i suppose that'd be a way to do that, since the crafting system is already here and I doubt that any major revamps are going to happen

[compact bluff]

they're similar in recoil though really, just that the graia has less recoil while moving

[harsh urchin]

yar

i think next big update

is probably going to be addition of new maps + new weapons

i doubt classes or crafting gonna be touched in the near term

at least

in any big way

[terse saffron]

any lasguns are as good as iags on psyker?

[harsh urchin]

ppl seem to like the laspistol

[plucky flax]

[vestal fulcrum]

bro go shower

[plucky flax]

I am going to shower.

[vestal fulcrum]

No matter what you do, you can’t deny that they will be right in their offence. Probably. Provided that you shower in the first place (you probably should once in a while).

[obtuse walrus]

You should shower daily

No excuses

[still hearth]

Ogryn is a normal class

[vestal fulcrum]

Ogryn is a normal class, everyone else is built different

[still hearth]

Ye

When the Vet shouts and suddenly you get 300 extra toughness

With basically 0 investment

And if you invest a bit you get 400 extra toughness instead

Very normal class

[severe folio]

wow

[still hearth]

Run confident strike on a melee and face-tank bosses

Another normal thing

Just all these normal things

[somber dew]

Do penances that require brain burst kills only count if you manually target them with the ability itself, or can they progress from the % chance of the random ones going off?

[plucky flax]

Psyker doing 1000k damage in 30 mins is also very normal.

[vestal fulcrum]

Any build in particular?

[plucky flax]

Easiest imo are surge bug, blaze trauma, and handcannon assail.

[still hearth]

Agent also plays with feral beasts in quick-play

I've seen their stats

[vestal fulcrum]

I’ve yet to have a blaze trauma game with over 1M damage

[plucky flax]

[vestal fulcrum]

Or any of the ones you listed, for the record

[still hearth]

The 40 minute doing 200k damage players

[plucky flax]

https://youtu.be/8sj-V9yVPFs

[vestal fulcrum]

Things USUALLY don’t go so bad I need to crank out 1M damage for the rest of the team

[still hearth]

We need a mod to tell us how much damage Wildfire does already

[plucky flax]

My games have some special players 85% of the time.

I started using the new scoreboard so I can see dot damage.

I played bleed knife and the bleed is like 40k damage.

[still hearth]

Oh yeah your video reminded me that you should quell between shots on Trauma right

Or rather quell cancel

[plucky flax]

You can so if you want or not it doesn't really matter. It's maybe a 0.5s efficiency.

[thin finch]

Just like the game ! Coincidence ? I THINK NOT

[vestal fulcrum]

I.e., cancel the pause between two charged casts by tapping quell?

[still hearth]

Ye

[thin finch]

What's the mod for weapon in morningstar ?

[vestal fulcrum]

For efficiency’s sake… I could see myself doing that, but it’s hardly making a difference

[plucky flax]

Sometimes I forget to do it. I don't let it eat my mind.

[plucky flax]

Weapon customisation found in Modder discord.

[still hearth]

I love the

Psyker dolphin dives

With the Trauma

[thin finch]

another functionality, will really get it then

[still hearth]

The Smite Psyker in the wild

Just holding things down for the Trauma user

[plucky flax]

He got voidstrike too idk why he really preferred to use smite.

What a nice guy.

[still hearth]

He saw you playing and thought

"I might as well just hold them down"

[plucky flax]

Tbh imo voidstrike is not as good as trauma in melee maelstrom. Too many beefcakes void won't cleave enough.

[still hearth]

Yeah

Give it more cleave

[plucky flax]

Make it plasma.

[still hearth]

And make both of them cleave through carapace

So that you can kill several Crushers per shot

[thin finch]

increase AOe explosion and make it smells blueberry too

[heady garnet]

I've been taking disrupt destiny on revolver psyker alongside scriers gaze but it feels...underwhelming? Needing to use revolver shots to secure stacks when ammo is already so scarce. I'm thinking about grabbing EP just so my smite/assail deals with hordes better. Any thoughts?

[still hearth]

Run assail with DD

You use it to save revolver ammo and revolver swap is fast

[plucky flax]

Can try laspistol gazer dd meme too.

Bigger ammo per mag but it's still quite ammo intensive though.

[heady garnet]

I dont have a decent laspistol yet

Maybe its because this is my first time using a gun in any game but I feel so bad picking up ammo when my vet bf could probably be using it better

Or when im playing with all pugs no one lets me have ammo 😦

@plucky flax could you elaborate on the laspitol gazer dd meme?

[unique mist]

assail definitely

[heady garnet]

I dont know much but doesn't the laspitol and revolver both specialize in single target damage?

[unique mist]

assail is best gunker blitz

[plucky flax]

Laspistol is a weapon that benefits greatly from weakspot and crit damage. Gazer and dd boost crit chance and headshot.

It makes laspistol very strong when gaze and dd are activated.

You can use assail with that build to save some ammo.

[heady garnet]

What blessings are reccomended?

[plucky flax]

Dumdum and infernus

[heady garnet]

Do you take general soul blaze talents with infernus?

[plucky flax]

No infernos burn and soulblaze burn are different things.

[heady garnet]

Oh I guess you can't get to wildfire with assail

Oh whew that's good

[plucky flax]

Infernus is used to stack up dumdum quicker anyway it won't do that much damage apart from unyielding.

[unique mist]

what does dumdum do again

[heady garnet]

Close range damage

[plucky flax]

But it the range is weird right now you can stack it at any range.

Dumdum on infantry autogun behaves the same.

[heady garnet]

Yeah I noticed with uh, terrifying barrage it's pretty much the range of a small room

[plucky flax]

Too much spaghetti codes.

[heady garnet]

I was so excited to try the new smite nomanus bug after they fixed the smite EP bug but it was so underwhelming

[plucky flax]

Ep smite kills trash horde a lot faster now I find.

[unique mist]

i find it only good with soulblaze shriek

[plucky flax]

Aye I use it to build peril and hold horde momentarily.

[unique mist]

yeah

i been finding smite frustrating to use tho once it reaches its target limit

you're holding a horde and then a couple guys walk up to you, smack you once then you lose smite and a whole horde is on your ass

[plucky flax]

Oh yeah then you get tapped.

[unique mist]

and then blessing of nurgle is smite's bane

they won't get held by smite so will walk up to your ass straight through a horde and fuck you

[heady garnet]

I only run up to difficulty 4 because I'm still shakey with melee fundamentals (got my ass carried in a 5 once) but I def feel the damage buff

Oh shit is that what was happening to me??

[unique mist]

thats fine, its how i did it

blessing of nurgle is Maelstrom exclusive modifier

so unless you been playing maelstrom

probably not

[heady garnet]

Yeah I occasionally run the difficulty 3 or 4 maelstroms

On normal

[plucky flax]

Only shouts seem to stagger the green Bois.

Shouts op

[heady garnet]

Never stepped foot in auric, I don't wanna ruin 3 other people days lol

[unique mist]

i didnt even see them get staggered by them but maybe not paying attention

[plucky flax]

I mean vet and ogryn shouts.

The shriek doesn't stagger.

That's a scream.

[unique mist]

good to take it slow

[near wyvern]

It doesn't really seem to have a target limit. What I have been seeing in my tests is that it can only spread within a certain angle from the enemies and given enemy can "spread" it to only fixed amount

So if you tase a horde and someone joins in on the side, it might be that the target cap for those in front is full or the angle is bad and they won't get tased

[heady garnet]

I've been playing since August and I genuinely think the fact that my friends are better players than me has made me pick up a bunch of bad habits/not learn things

I'll occasionally queue up for a 4 by myself and I find it's rare to finish the mission

[unique mist]

isnt that effectively a target cap

like i see what you're saying

it's not that you're hitting the maximum of like "25 enemies", just that enemies you do hit can only spread it so many times to enemies behind them

[heady garnet]

Area cap?

[unique mist]

but at the same time, if an enemy walks right in front of you and your smite, which is locked on to a few enemies, doesn't leap to them too, i'd call that a target cap

[plucky flax]

Oh yeah you improve much faster playing by yourself.

[near wyvern]

Well it's a target cap for how many enemies a single enemy can "infect" but in general if you have a cone shaped horde in front of you you will get all of them no matter how many they are

[heady garnet]

I'm pretty confident in my abilities to dodge things/stay out of trouble but I dont exactly have the same "clutch the mission" abilities

If im the only person up were doomed lol

[unique mist]

yeah i went from 3 to 4 then gelled in 4 till i was comfortable and made the leap to 5 where teammate quality improved drastically, made a leap of faith in auric, scraped by so i dropped back down to 5 for like another week and a bit

now i'm semi frequently running auric maelstroms

[plucky flax]

Yeah but playing solo will put you in that situations more often. That's when you get the practice in.

[unique mist]

still can't clutch

[plucky flax]

I'm so used to meme clutch I can pull off some crazy shits on all classes.

[heady garnet]

It's quite demoralizing to load into a high intensity 4 and within the first 2 minutes 2 people are down from maulers

I know it sounds egotistical 😦

[unique mist]

had a really fun auric with scabs only melee only :)

[plucky flax]

Watch this meme with vet I had. Running around
https://youtu.be/3FHnE6UEDo0

[unique mist]

flak ragers and ogryns up my ass

[vestal fulcrum]

It sounds realistic. One of these people is probably me, because Maulers are QUIET bastards that don’t really make it obvious they are charging a chainaxe behind your back

[near wyvern]

Careful, scab ragers are edgy and ogryn size might be more than you can handle

[unique mist]

why were you invisible to that horde at 20s lol

[near wyvern]

Yeah holy shit I have been downed lately by ninja Maulers

[plucky flax]

It's my secret power. I haxx

I think the horde was beelining for someone else.

[unique mist]

and how the fuck did that beast of nurgle not swallow you

[heady garnet]

I play a little too far back I think

[plucky flax]

After it got hit a few times in turned around lol

[unique mist]

you just phased through it

[heady garnet]

Let the poor vets and zealots deal with the rush

[plucky flax]

Game gives me special privilege after 100 clutches.

But anyway don't let the pressure get to you. Stay calm. Adapt. Improvise. Overcome.

[near wyvern]

Abathur? Is that you?

[plucky flax]

Isn't it bear grills?

[heady garnet]

@plucky flax you're so inspirational;_;

[plucky flax]

[heady garnet]

I haven't heard that name in so long Holy shit

[plucky flax]

He faked his survival stuff.

He lied to me!!

[unique mist]

ok i gotta ask why was the beast of nurgle healing

[plucky flax]

I ate the smol guys.

[unique mist]

it what

[plucky flax]

Yeah the bonbon can eat trash horde to heal itself.

[winter siren]

[kind jay]

almost perfect

[heady garnet]

I'm off to class send me your psyker vibes please 😭

[winter siren]

[modest trellis]

Curse of Tzeentch (7 years of bad rolls)

[kind jay]

quell peril before taking tests

[plucky flax]

Don't let your head explode.

[heady garnet]

@plucky flax thank you dad

[devout fox]

I'm trying to complete the "Blessed by Fate" penance. I have 4/50, but am unsure why I don't have more. As far as I understand it, I need to use Psykinetic's Wrath 50 times while at 100% peril, but I thought I'd done that. Do I have to wait until my hands come up? Can I use Venting Shriek to complete the penance?

[winter siren]

hmmm. swap out rampage for uncanny or shred?

[heady garnet]

@devout fox yep. Venting shriek is the new psykinetics wrath

Not at 100% peril, you need to be mid exploding animation

[devout fox]

Oh!

I see!

Thank you very much!

[winter siren]

you have a couple seconds to use vent

[plucky flax]

Always uncanny. Riposte gives you crit chance already.

[heady garnet]

It's pretty easy to farm out/cheese in a lower difficulty without griefing simply by running warp charges reducing your ult cd

Stack charges>start explode animation>ult>rinse and repeat

[plucky flax]

Rampage uncanny is also very strong.

[winter siren]

what about this one?

block to crit or flak?

[kind jay]

maniac?

[wraith crag]

Please send diamintine 🆒

[plucky flax]

That's good man I'd change block to maniac and riposte to rampage. If you're not planning to horde clear then keep riposte.

[winter siren]

this is for my assail, seers, venting, surge build

so assail takes care of trash mobs, surge cuts cara

[plucky flax]

The cleave buff makes it very easy to proc rampage.

[winter siren]

just need a nice nimble headstabber

[plucky flax]

I used to run uncanny shred in patch 13 but switched to uncanny rampage for this patch.

[winter siren]

heavy into special is insta double headshot on big boys with stagger on special which is nice

[plucky flax]

Mauler got bullied.
#psyker-class message

[dapper folio]

that makes me want to swap my rampage out for uncanny strike

[spare light]

@plucky flax I wanted to ask you, why are you using Psychic Vampire instead of In Fire Reborn with your blazing trauma?

[winter siren]

i have been going h1 insta special back to h1. pretty good. i dont find rampage that useful on my other one which is why im looking for another

[plucky flax]

Oh you always run uncanny. Then 2nd blessing is up to preference.

[dapper folio]

yeah my shred 4 is locked in so now I'm just looking for uncanny strike 4 to rebless it

[winter siren]

riposte is so easy to keep up its like free crit

[plucky flax]

Uncanny 3 and 4 does the same damage. Rending cap is at 100%.

[dapper folio]

huh

[plucky flax]

At 5 stacks you don't benefit from uncanny 4.

[dapper folio]

I'll be on the lookout then

[plucky flax]

My sword has uncanny 3.

[plucky flax]

Because in my testing the 4% from anything killed by me or teammates are way more consistent than 10% from only soul blaze.

[spare light]

Fair enough, makes sense

[plucky flax]

It also gives you a chance to get warp charge with melee weapon.

[dapper folio]

ds gaze and a gun has just been so much fun to play

[keen slate]

[dapper folio]

nice uh

spear?

[keen slate]

Spear? This is force staff, just the usual Krieg psyker weapon

[idle aurora]

Blessings for blaze trauma are the same? Nexus + spirit?

[dapper folio]

yeah, the pointy bit at the end applies force really effectively

[winter siren]

psykers coke spoon

[heady garnet]

I'll send you 20k Diamante for 1k plas

[devout fox]

You absolute legend! I am now 19/50 after a single mission

Thank you so much!

[heady garnet]

Of course! Reading that penance was actually how I learned I could vent to prevent myself from exploding lol. Fresh 30 me just accepted death every time before I realized

[paper tusk]

Should i rather armored enemies with my slab, or melle with special mk 5 ? what procs more bleed ?

[devout fox]

Oh, wow. I think I read in maybe the skill tree that the updated shriek removes more stuff compared to normal, so I assumed basic removed an amount too

[thin finch]

Now it does remove 10%
Allegedly

[heady garnet]

A baby psyker who doesn't have the keystone will have the normal shriek

[devout fox]

I've used it to survive in the past, I believe

[thin finch]

During the dark time, before patch 13

[opal pebble]

So has anyone tried the staff bonk how good is it now?

[kind jay]

it's still in the "just swap to melee" category

[terse saffron]

can this one be saved?

[shell marsh]

Thoughts?

I swear I saw a guide before but forgot the best levels per weapon rank

[spice oar]

It can but I'm not sure how

[keen slate]

So close

[spice oar]

Probs leave the blessings and change the perks to weak spot dmg and maniac dmg

[halcyon creek]

Low overall modifier… would have liked to see more balanced across each bar, or at least more points in Damage. Could work if you’re still leveling up and it’s better than the other swords that you have, but you can find much better at Lv30

[shell marsh]

Well its better than my current so ill invest just a lil in it

[half turtle]

if i want a melee weapon good for nothing but boss dps what should i take

lacerate knife?

[kind jay]

chainsword bloodletter

[half turtle]

ok i need to be able to do boss dps while under a mid amount of pressure

assume i have no teammates

cuz bloodletter is off the rev right

[kind jay]

knife, duel mk4, deimos

[queen fog]

Deimos like all the force swords got some decent push power

[kind jay]

bleed knife works like you said too

[half turtle]

with deimos would i be using the special attack?

or just spamming uncharged stabs

[kind jay]

nah you still want to use l1 h2

[half turtle]

hmm ok

[kind jay]

it's less good in your scenario tho

[half turtle]

i tried a ds4 with uncanny strike earlier and it took me like 5 minutes to kill the boss (plague ogryn)

[kind jay]

without a team and during a horde that's pretty much expected

[half turtle]

makes sense

will bleed knife be faster

rn im using melee literally only for boss and mutants (since i'm running trauma + brain burst which handles everything else)

[kind jay]

not necessarily faster but it would let you do consistent damage while also being able to dance away from danger

[half turtle]

ah

yeah makes sense

[lyric burrow]

Think bleed chainsword is still better for monstrosity dps

Raw

[half turtle]

bleed as in "bleed on special attack"

or does chainsword have flesh tearer or something

[kind jay]

chainswords big damage is gonna be the shredder

[half turtle]

ahh

yeah makes sense

[kind jay]

so yeah you'll be locked in.

[half turtle]

afaict i won't be able to afford to use that since this is a silly true solo build

[kind jay]

yeah it won't work in that case

[half turtle]

hmm ok ill try bleed knife and deimos, i have both

[lyric burrow]

Yeah its just raw dps i cant reccomend spamming it into a monstrosity unless its solo lol

[half turtle]

well i have a normal knife i can put bleed on lol

[lyric burrow]

Give deimos bleed

It definitely needs it

[spare light]

Does it?

[lyric burrow]

I was being sarcastic lol

It does not need it

[half turtle]

hmm what's the bleed stack cap rn btw, does anyone know?

[spare light]

Oh

[kind jay]

16

[spare light]

Same like soulblaze iirc

I just used blazing trauma for the first time in a while

It helps a LOT vs the sometimes 10 scrab ragers running at you

[half turtle]

is soulblaze good now? i've been running rending + flurry

but with perilous combustion for soulfire stacks bc i had extra points

[spare light]

It's been good since I started playing a few weeks ago

[kind jay]

it's good on trauma specifically but not so much on force swords

[spare light]

oh yeah, totally

let me rephrase

it's good on a crit build

[heady garnet]

Are any of the melee weapons besides force and dueling sword worth running?

[spare light]

I'm running this gimp staff rn, I'm missing 5% crit and a better leveled nexus, but it slaps

[half turtle]

i used to run a lot of knife and it was ok

[spare light]

If you want to run a knife psyker, you go do that, if you want 'meta', then you'll be forced to pick specific weapons

[half turtle]

chainsword also feels ok

[spare light]

I personally stick to Illisi or DS4

[heady garnet]

I have a decent base for all of em but the animation for chainsword feels so scary

[spare light]

Illisi + deflector is just

[half turtle]

i think ds4 is overall the best weapon against most things and in most situations

[kind jay]

devil claw is very good now

so is chainsword

[half turtle]

devil claw keeps trolling me with its special randomly being a counter instead of a stagger-bop

[heady garnet]

deflector my beloved 😭

the only force sowrd I've never tried is obscurus

I don't think I've seen anyone run it either

[half turtle]

i used to run it all the time back in the day

[kind jay]

the counter is super nice and actually great tanking fast things like chaos spawn and hitting them

[half turtle]

but illisi doesn't get stuck so it's just objectively better

[heady garnet]

How much more damage does activating the force sword do exactly?

[half turtle]

yeah it definitely seems that way, i just have the wrong muscle memory and then i die lol

literally skill issue

[kind jay]

[half turtle]

it's just that almost every other weapon has either a) a quick bop that ignores stagger resistance b) a charge-up that makes the next attack do a crapton of damage

and then devil claw's like "btw my special is a counter"

and i literally haven't used devil claw since 2022

[spare light]

Yea but the counter is nice

[half turtle]

yeah i just need to get used to it

[spare light]

It's maybe not the best for damage, but you can tank bosses for a while with it

[kind jay]

they have decent horde clear too

mk1 spam heavies or mk4 l1h2

[vestal fulcrum]

I do run Obscurus, but not for the reasons you’d typically want to run an Obscurus over say, Deimos

[half turtle]

hm what are the reasons you'd want obscurus over deimos

[heady garnet]

My knowledge is deimos is horde clear, ilisi is ST

[half turtle]

i guess it has a slightly better horde clear pattern?

[spare light]

Opposite

[heady garnet]

Maybe I've never encountered a good one

[queen fog]

Swap em

[heady garnet]

opposite my bad

[spare light]

Illisi is horde, deimos is ST, obscurus is a mix

[heady garnet]

ohh i see

that makes sense

[vestal fulcrum]

Obscurus is PRETENDING to be a mix

[spare light]

[vestal fulcrum]

But it’s not good at either role

[spare light]

IT TRIES ITS BEST OKAY

[vestal fulcrum]

#psyker-class message

This is my Obscurus

It’s beautiful

But flawed

[heady garnet]

gonna ask again how much more damage does the warp charged attack deal again?

[spare light]

this is my first ever made Illisi

rolled it after I hit 30

[vestal fulcrum]

It depends. Go to Psykhanium, see for yourself

[half turtle]

the obscurus one can get to 1-shotting maulers (bodyshot)

[spare light]

of what?

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s enough to kill a Mutant to the body with a charged special, so that’s good enough for me

[spare light]

I like charging my illisi & doing a heavy attack to clear a good chunk of chaff, but deimos charged can almost one shot mutants

[vestal fulcrum]

With good enough properties/modifiers at the very least

[half turtle]

yeah you can do the chainsword mutant blowby thing but the obscurus's heavies are harder to hit on it than the chainsword's imo

[heady garnet]

@vestal fulcrum oh good poibt

[vestal fulcrum]

It requires a little more finesse, that’s for sure

[hearty spade]

deimos can oneshot without charged

[heady garnet]

I feel so VULNERABLE when I'm charging the sword probably a skill diff

[spare light]

oh L1 H1 right?

[hearty spade]

yep

poke em in the eye and they fall

[half turtle]

you can usually make space with a shove if you're using illisi into horde

[hearty spade]

but their head is tiny so sometimes you miss ;D

[half turtle]

you almost always can shove > special > heavy if you have stamina

[spare light]

You can also charged heavy deimos on a passing mutant

[half turtle]

or shove > backdodgeslide + special > heavy depending on what you're fighting

[heady garnet]

Throwback to my cursed deimos that does less on the heavy attack

[half turtle]

lol 19% damage

[heady garnet]

I hope we get the red weapons soon

And that they eat Diamantine instead of plas

[tacit hill]

what is peril never heard of this word before

is it that mana/chaos gauge below crosshair?

[vestal fulcrum]

It’s your resource for using warp-based attacks

[vestal fulcrum]

That’s it

[spare light]

If you stack too much peril you explode

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-explode-clouds-of-smoke-gif-17216934

[tacit hill]

too late

[spare light]

But you want to keep it as high as possible for maximum deeps!

[vestal fulcrum]

Well, at least if you have Nexus blessing on your staff or the Warp Rider feat. And there’s not a reason not to be using Warp Rider currently

[tacit hill]

oh cool, is this in talent tree or it's also built in for psyker lvl1

[spare light]

Like Kjerad said, nexus blessing for staves increases crit chance depending on peril level, and warp rider talent which increases damage based on peril

[tacit hill]

oh nice combo lookin forward to it

[spare light]

If you press R while not using a gun, you'll also quell your current peril, making it go down

Once u get access to the armory you’ll be able to see what level you’ll unlock the cool witch staves, will be under brutes armory

All u need to do is become level 2

[abstract badger]

Can understand the assail hate but whats wrong with handcannon? xD

[spare light]

Best psyker leveling tip: get Assail ASAP

[spare light]

Handcannon stacks with assail

[abstract badger]

wait rly?

[plucky flax]

If you have slaughterer stack you can 1 shot mutie with illisi special. Otherwise it's 2 shots 1 heavy 1 light which is still fairly fast.

[clever root]

Psyker is my least played class so I have no idea what to change on this

[spare light]

True, oh also I tried the blazing trauma, I can see why you like it

[thin finch]

It's in talent tree and blessing.
Many perk interact with your peril gauge ,either helping quelling it ,giving you boons depending on it's level or giving you toughness back on generation or quelling

[spare light]

Terrifying to Warp Nexus and ranged weak spot to flak

[plucky flax]

I like it because it's totally not op.

[tacit hill]

well I'm converting into psyker because assail last my kill every game lol

[spare light]

Weirdly enough, I still think I prefer surge

[thin finch]

The peril gauge is a very weird thing because it'q something you want both high and low.
,pro tip ,most of the bonus tops at 80% peril ,so juggling between 80 and 99% is a Psyker funni line

[plucky flax]

Surge is good its my 2nd most played staff.

I played a lot of surge pre 13 too. And then they buffed it.

[clever root]

I need to get resources and warp nexus then, cheers

[near wyvern]

when can I get this superior weapon

[tacit hill]

man I wish I could press R in melee

[heady garnet]

It can also be situationally useful. I was running a maelstrom once and we were COMPLETELY overwhelmed from all sides. I exploded and cleared out a dozen maulers and ragers and the entire horde. Use with discretion

[spare light]

Basically pulling a Louisoix from FFXIV

[thin finch]

You can with force sword ,but I would advicz against it in the thick of thing (where your melee is most probably out)

[tacit hill]

oh nice good to know thanks

[rare storm]

Amazing sword, did this see yellow

[heady garnet]

I did actually for shits and giggles, rolled sprint speed and exorcist 1

[rare storm]

Shiiii

[spare light]

I finally good a good one with a good dump stat

One day when I have the plasteel Ima make a bunch of meme weps

[rare storm]

That's not bad

Let's get it bricked

[rare storm]

Les go

tbf I'm running this, it's kinda gimped , but probably better

[plucky flax]

Lvl 1 warp nexus

[rare storm]

wdf is that nexus

[spare light]

shut uuuuuup okay, I'm VERY unlucky

[plucky flax]

[spare light]

okay but seriously, 32K plasteel and this is the best I got

[rare storm]

To be fair if you fixed that staff, it would be pretty decent

aka a lv3 nexus at least

[spare light]

the amount of sustained fire blessing is too damn high

[vernal frost]

anyone knows how to 1shs a mutie with maccabian mkiv?

[spare light]

Heavy into the eye

[karmic fractal]

So uhm... do marked enemies through DD actually glow or smth?

[rare storm]

Poke it's eye

[vernal frost]

any setup or stats/talents?

[rare storm]

Yes, when it works that is

[rare storm]

no, just have the sword with decent damage and finesse

[vernal frost]

hmmm

thanks!

[karmic fractal]

okay, doesn't work in the grinder then. Reloaded the area multiple times

[spare light]

and first target helps

[karmic fractal]

not a single glowing enemy.

[rare storm]

oh that is true

[rare storm]

Ah yes, dd does not work in grinder

but there is a known issue where DD targets actually don't glow for some reason

So... at some point it's spray and pray till you see a highlight appear again

[karmic fractal]

snap, wanted to give a gun psyker a go

well, back to the shelf with you, third loadout slot!

[rare storm]

It's still good, I can maintain 15 stacks 90% of the run

[karmic fractal]

good to hear!

don't really want to run Stubnose tho, any other recommendations?

[drowsy cave]

Hello folks. Is there a place I can easily check which blessings I'm supposed to be on the lookout for as psyker? Just hit lvl 30

[karmic fractal]

(frickin' shame that Psykers can't use a Bolt gun )

[karmic fractal]

For Staves, you usually want to run Warp Flurry/Warp Nexus

[drowsy cave]

Thank you!

[karmic fractal]

On Duelling Sword, most likely Shred and Uncanny Strike

I like to run Deflector on Force Swords, tho, as I've understood it ain't mandatory.

kind of a habit of playing 1.0 darktide

[drowsy cave]

Thanks, @karmic fractal . I was kinda lost on what blessings to use. Gotta read up on the subject eventually but thanks to your help I can be on the lookout for those.

[karmic fractal]

Mhhhm... now to wonder:
Restart from scratch or just yolo orange-tier it until something better becomes available!
https://i.imgur.com/xSFQSJ5.png

[plucky flax]

Surge only have 3 blessings. So it's a high chance you get nexus as second anyway.

[karmic fractal]

Oh I already have a t4 nexus available

was, actually, thinking of reblessing the Flurry into a t4 Nexus, to give a chance of t4 flurry of reappearing

[plucky flax]

Yeah that's a way to farm blessing.

[thin finch]

It does not work in the grinder without the mob spawner mods

But when it does ,it's a wallhack

[near wyvern]

it works in the grinder if you disable invisibility and invulnerability using creature spawner

[rare storm]

Vraks 7 headhunter

[raven zenith]

so what's the current consensus on duelling swords? i really like the mk IV but haven't tried the others much at all

[plucky flax]

Mk4 does the most damage with its heavies for no particular reason.

So just use that until fs adjust the other 2 marks.

[raven zenith]

assuming they get adjusted, any advantages in the moveset of the other mks?

[vestal fulcrum]

Not really

[raven zenith]

noticed the V has a strikedown in the light chain, not really a fan

[vestal fulcrum]

I mean, I played Mk2 quite a bit before I noticed that Mk4 was buffed through the roof

Mk2 is trying to be both Mk5 and Mk4 at the same time

And neither of these it does well

[plucky flax]

Then it becomes preference. I would use mk5 if it does same damage because I prefer the longer dodges and heavies pattern on 5.

[supple turtle]

Anyone know what "DS4" means?

[vestal fulcrum]

Mk5 certainly is a defensive option, but I don’t really like how its light attacks swing

[vestal fulcrum]

That’s Duelling sword Mk4

[supple turtle]

Ah cheers

[plucky flax]

Mk5 all attacks are so shaggy.

Swaggy

Feels like proper pirate.

[vestal fulcrum]

The overheads are also very smooth in repeated chaining

[plucky flax]

The 2 lights attack pattern on 4 looks so bad.

[silk hawk]

i use mk2

xD

[raven zenith]

i kinda like the 'stabbing for the head' theme it has

[plucky flax]

Oh I was referring to the light attacks.

[raven zenith]

feels more french than pirate, which is kinda sweet on my french accent yvette

[plucky flax]

The heavies are good but the light is just 2 diagonal loop.

It doesn't feel good to spam it. Similar to power sword mk3 with the boring lights.

[silk hawk]

anyways, someone tell me what is the dif between auric and normal?

[vestal fulcrum]

Auric is always high intensity

[raven zenith]

auric have more difficult modifiers and are guaranteed to have at least high intensity

[vestal fulcrum]

• other modifiers if applicable

[silk hawk]

i see, tnx

[raven zenith]

i kinda miss having lights out on low intensity missions, those were my fav to just chill in to warm up

[vestal fulcrum]

Also, “threat” mechanic in Auric is more prevalent. It basically comes down to: if things go bad in a game, there will be a shorter grace period for you before the AI director starts throwing specials/hordes at you

[solid reef]

Play with screen off, it's pretty much the same 😄

[raven zenith]

haha

[fringe tangle]

New Psyker class just dropped, the Psyker Infiltrator.

[coarse bane]

Nothing worse than playing a sniper build, and than quick play into a zero visibility map.

[raven zenith]

gonna try this build out with DS and heavy laspistol, any recommendation/changes before i take it for a spin?

[coarse bane]

When I was leveling my veteran, that happened. Worst experience in this game yet.

[still hearth]

What the fuck is that abomination of a squished talent tree

[raven zenith]

using a mod to get it on one screenshot, putting it back to normal for normal gameplay

because you're abosultely right, it is an abomination

heresy even

[coarse bane]

I guess the big question is, what do you have for reliable horde clear?

[raven zenith]

DS4 has served me well so far

light attack spam into a horde usually makes it go away if you hit heads

[coarse bane]

Dueling sword is DS?

[raven zenith]

ye

[raven zenith]

^

also just learned about it for the first time xD

[coarse bane]

Ok, yeah, and mutants die fast with the right perks.

[raven zenith]

muties get a headstab and fall over

same for crushers but like 7 headstabs

[coarse bane]

I'll stick with my Diemos force sword. I enjoy the push back too much.

[plucky flax]

No assail will make you run quite low on ammo.

[raven zenith]

eeeh that's killed me several times already by blowing myself up after pushing a burster

[raven zenith]

true, but i aim to be mostly in melee and use the las for high priority removal

blitz is mostly there to trigger auto-pops

[plucky flax]

Fair

I always recommend trying to take combustion.

[coarse bane]

Pop the sniper from behind cover.

[raven zenith]

not sure about disrupt destiny though tbh...it's always felt inconsistent

but i like the idea so much

[spare light]

I like Trauma, but my god can it be annoying to place in stairs/different levels of height

[sonic whale]

Same, I don't ever see them and it annoys me as they set a whole new vibe

[raven zenith]

i could swap it in in exchange for mettle and 15 toughness

not sure it's worth it tho

gonna try both eventually

[plucky flax]

Combustion always worth it.

[spare light]

Combustion is pretty good, why else would fatshark nerf it?

[raven zenith]

15 extra toughness or 5% toughness dr better?

[spare light]

hmm

[plucky flax]

I always take the flat toughness.

[spare light]

I'd go for toughness, cause preferably you don't want to get hit?

[raven zenith]

makes sense, and probably maths out better because my trinkets give me a combined +29%

[spare light]

@plucky flax Also, while Trauma is good, I do believe it shines better in auric than in regular damnation, then I'd still go for surge/smite

[plucky flax]

Yeah more enemies more cleave.

[spare light]

And people have better 'sense' of what to do in auric, usually.. hopefully

[plucky flax]

Easiest and fastest way to clear regular damn is just handcannon assail.

[spare light]

Yeah true

Trauma cleave has no limit right?

[raven zenith]

right, let's take this baby for a spin, be back in 20min give or take

[plucky flax]

Nein.

If it's tight enough in that circle everything die.

[spare light]

Noice

I do miss having flurry on it

[plucky flax]

That's why you want 80% charge rate.

[spare light]

Yes well, we've been over this

[plucky flax]

If fs let us have red weapon, 100% charge rate on trauma is 1 second flat to full charge.

Now that's op.

[spare light]

True

Damage-Blast Radius-Charge rate are the top 3 stats I assume

[plucky flax]

Yeah all 3 at 80%.

[spare light]

best I can do is

[plucky flax]

[spare light]

my ONLY good trauma staff I got, when I first hit 30

[plucky flax]

Ewww it's the rending build.

Rending builds are good if you have friends

That's a nice staff. Would be better on a Surge staff though.

[plucky flax]

I don't get your statement.

[mossy surge]

A smite abuser response

[plucky flax]

I have a decent surge staff too.

[spare light]

opinions?

[coarse bane]

You don't even need to use smite.

[mossy surge]

Surge sucked and will still suck until they change its behaviour

[coarse bane]

Will it get fixed, maybe? I mean Krak grenades exist so who knows.

[spare light]

my god, getting a good trauma is an absolute fucking trauma

You're feeling my pain some months ago.

CAN WE BRICK IT?!

that went well, didn't have too much ammo trouble either. except i died at one point and getting disrupt destiny back to full 15 stacks kinda sucked

[spare light]

ayo nvm Hadron, my bad

I was hoping for it to brick

i'll get a better DS4 at some point, for now melk is just selling trash as always

[plucky flax]

[rare storm]

btw how does rampage work

It's a feature(bugged) now ya?

Shove a horde = free 2x dmg on all swings?

[plucky flax]

Yeah it does more damage than intended.

[rare storm]

Interesting

Wonder if it's better than precog rn

[plucky flax]

It's better for horde clear.

Precog better for single target.

[rare storm]

I see

aite

[dark radish]

Is Spamming Smite when hoard arrive viable play for Psyker on Auric or should I just also get into melee as well?

[thin finch]

horde clear => MK4
why tho

[still hearth]

No

Spamming Smite is pretty much the worst option

You could be hitting them with your staff melee

And it does more damage

[dark radish]

[plucky flax]

Some build doesn't have that much horde clear. Like laspistol.

[kind jay]

you can smite from 0 to 100 and it will kill most of the chaff

[thin finch]

Don't listen to her, she does not believe in CC
But uh yeah on horde it's not that usefull unless you grab some elite in the bunch

[still hearth]

I believe in CC that does damage

Not bad CC

[plucky flax]

Melee only maelstrom.

Time to meme with blaze trauma.

[still hearth]

"A few of the chaff" FIFY*

[kind jay]

nah most of

[still hearth]

If you have Empowered you might kill like 10 or something

[plucky flax]

4 psykers melee maelstrom

All 4 different staves.

[spare light]

I don't know if you got an answer but if you run the 'fire smite' build, it is, it's a combination of wildfire, venting shriek with creeping flames and warp charges

[rare storm]

That is one text cluttered lobby lol

[dark radish]

That sound interesting

[spare light]

@plucky flax ahhhhhh

Hadron blesseth

[spare light]

I very much enjoy this build, it's a lot of fun

[kind jay]

try it it's very good at deleting hordes

[spare light]

and CC'ing elites

[rare storm]

Hadron doth blesseth indeed

[still hearth]

I mean if you run Smite and Fire Shriek then yeah

That deletes hordes

[raven zenith]

Wait, rampage is viable?

[rare storm]

Just need a good blaze trauma now

the gamba continues

[mossy surge]

Its bugged

[still hearth]

It's just that the only attack that can activate it is push attack

[spare light]

upcoming tech priest DLC in 3 years

[raven zenith]

lmao

[mossy surge]

You can install a mod for more characters and loadout

[thin finch]

Smite with EP is pointless ,you should run it with warp charges

And enjoy actual peril cost reduction for more efficient CC as well as the +33% peril quelled that synergize with the auto quell of smite

[mental rock]

Smite is not pointless with ep, especially with surge staff

[thin finch]

Without surge staff it is tho

[mental rock]

At least right now anyway, once surge is fixed ep smite will actually be worthless

[thin finch]

The increase in damage is not a lot and the faster sprezd is nil with the right click

My point being "if you want to run smite as CC"

Then warp charge that gives you -6% peril per stack is great

[mental rock]

No one runs surge for cc now because smite fulfills that purpose

And surge only hits 2

[still hearth]

Some people do

I disagree with their choices

[mental rock]

Okay no one who plays optimally run surge for cc

[thin finch]

Smite ,I meant smite

[mental rock]

Ah

Well I don't really know how impactful that peril reduction with smite is cause I always run ep smite right now, but I imagine it's still preference because you could just go shriek for peril management

[thin finch]

I often mix the the two 😦

[still hearth]

I never run peril reduction for Smite because I want high peril to shout

And it already holds enemies for like 5s

[spare light]

I run surge, cause I like it

[hushed hinge]

I've started playing psyker more recently and it's pretty fun, but I'm struggling doing anything to bosses. Is there a particular weapon anyone runs for assassination missions or for plague ogryns, etc? I'm considering swapping out my deimos force sword to a chain sword.

[lyric burrow]

I have a scriers + DD melee build for duelling sword (probably works with deimos too) i can send when i get home although i havent run it a ton yet but ive done quite well in the runs ive done

[brave fiber]

your best bet is dueling sword or BB, psykers don’t do a lot of monstrosity damage

[plucky flax]

Just kidding we made it outta tertium with this one.

[lyric burrow]

Chainsword can do good damage to bosses

[thin finch]

F

[lyric burrow]

Duelling sword is safer

[silk hawk]

BB is safer

xD

[plucky flax]

Purgatus guy ragequitted when he died at end event. He did 3rd most damage.

I did have more warp fire damage than him though even though I use blaze trauma.

[rain hill]

I'm looking into making one and was looking at recommendations to start from. Just kinda theory crafting atm @lyric burrow

[lyric burrow]

If you just take crit chance stuff with duelling sword its always a good start

[hushed hinge]

Dueling sword and aim for weak spots?

[lyric burrow]

Scriers can get DS to horde clear as well esp with stuff like rampage or shred

[lyric burrow]

Yeah

[silk hawk]

DS2 is the king thou

[lyric burrow]

Still not amazing for boss damage but usable

[silk hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/trollface-gif-25532101

[raven zenith]

oooh neat

[kind jay]

chainsword+bloodletter, mk4 duel, bleed knife, deimos, void+surge blessing, are all workable bossing options

[terse saffron]

good thing he did else we would've wiped

[lyric burrow]

I do actually use mk2 duelling sword however mk4 is def better

[terse saffron]

got staggered by some bruiser at the shittiest moment

[lyric burrow]

Mk2 is fine but heavy spam is worse sadly

[silk hawk]

cant see how its better XD

[raven zenith]

while we're at trauma staves

[silk hawk]

anyway i think deimos is the funniest single target dps

[rain hill]

What about force swords, are those viable for a melee build?

[plucky flax]

1 got 1 shot by mauler from behind

Illisi if u want to clear hordes with it

[terse saffron]

what do i change in this one?

[spare sail]

holy fucking rnjesus

[rain meadow]

hello space wizard money gang

ranged weak spot for crit chance

and i would change flurry for blazing spirit

Same mental "i'm stupid" virus infected most the players i get matched with in Power Matrix (cryo rods in the end). Huge are with two path leading into it. Moronic virus activates - and people go into different corners of that area for no good reason to be insta killed by ragers/maulers spawn. Every karking time 🙂

[terse saffron]

and on this one?

[idle bay]

They usualy spawn right behin with no sound and then you are dead 🙂

If u are okay with rending build - u can do that

[lyric burrow]

Yeah thats if you dont have a rending one already

[terse saffron]

i just want something for melee only maelstroms

voidstrike straight up aint cutting it

[lyric burrow]

Then yeah id do the rending

[spare sail]

rending is very good. it applies a debuff on emimes scaling with the level of charge

[lyric burrow]

Its like all flak and carapace

Helps the team

[silk hawk]

althrough randing is a bit more dependent on your teammates

[spare sail]

i personally use rending and blazing and i love it

[lyric burrow]

Uncanny on deimos/DS helps too

[silk hawk]

thats funny to kill carapace armors with uncanny on melee weapon thou XD

with purgatus

XDD

[terse saffron]

while we're talking staffs is this one salvageable or 🧱

[spare sail]

god roll stat wise

purg builds peril super super slowly

burn and cloud are the stats you want at max

[silk hawk]

thats a very decent purgatus

[spare sail]

which you have

[silk hawk]

do purgatus crits still apply more burn stacks then usual?

[spare sail]

i think so

[silk hawk]

u can slap crit chance instead of stamina and u are set XD

[terse saffron]

can clouds stack true aim?

[plucky flax]

See the power of my trauma.

[silk hawk]

i dont think so...

[spare sail]

can purg hit weak spot?

[silk hawk]

they are basically not a projectiles

[plucky flax]

Nein.

[silk hawk]

it has only white or yellow numbers

[lyric burrow]

Crits apply more stacks of soulblaze yes

[terse saffron]

can trauma hit weakspots with secondary at all?

[rain hill]

Thanks for the information. Gonna do some messing around. Might end up posting a build

[lyric burrow]

No

Its why transfer peril is pretty useless

[terse saffron]

[quasi junco]

I for the life of me can’t play the scriers Gunker w/ DS. Using surge as blitz.

Keep getting surrounded in damnation. Any tips?

Change out DS to Illisi?

[vestal fulcrum]

Surge doesn’t really work well as a blitz on Gun psyker

[plucky flax]

To horde clear with ds you need rampage.

[spare sail]

havent tried gun psyker before so i got no idea

[raven zenith]

respectfully disagree

[plucky flax]

[vestal fulcrum]

Melee is not necessarily a problem, although that depends on what you want to achieve with it.

[plucky flax]

Okay without rampage maybe it's too slow.

[quasi junco]

Surge is great for locking down carapace

My DS pokes aren’t going to solo 5 crushers

[plucky flax]

If you have uncanny and pop gazer you can 3 or 4 shots per crusher.

[vestal fulcrum]

And nothing besides that - even stunning these 5 crushers is not that big of a deal if you can just start killing them yourself

[spare light]

Had one of them assail/void psykers at level 32 in auric maelstrom who was spamming assail lmb on scab melee only units 🙂

[quasi junco]

It’s a big deal in damnation when your team is also locked up by a trapper or hound

[plucky flax]

I did that in patch 13.

Assail is strong against scab.

[vestal fulcrum]

I’m not going to really go deep into the surge argument, but think of it this way: you can prevent these situations from happening, and being apologetic for Surge being “useful” in these situations that have already happened is not cutting it for me.

[spare light]

well it doesn't do too much to maulers/crushers/bulwarks

[vestal fulcrum]

Other classes have better supporting abilities with instant effects

What is your ranged weapon, by the way?

[spare light]

I don't even think he charged any void rmb

[keen slate]

There's something wrong with my dueling sword

[plucky flax]

It's pretty good against mauler. Not against bulwark or crusher indeed.

[gray island]

same

[quasi junco]

Laspistol

[gray island]

its a grower not a shower

[quasi junco]

I think I need to accept Gunker is not for me.

[vestal fulcrum]

People are truly majestic with this abomination of a mod

[gray island]

its my handy stabber

[quasi junco]

Purgatus/BB
Void/Surge
Are my favorites

[vestal fulcrum]

Or… try Assail. It compliments Gun Psyker completely, almost, or at least it allows you to safely swarm clear and conserve ammunition for your actual gun

[quasi junco]

Not a bad idea

I’m also afraid assail will get nerfed lol

[vestal fulcrum]

I don’t see any potential use for Surge on Gun Psyker. You have better things to do than hold that blitz for X+ seconds

[lyric burrow]

Assail may get nerfed but they could nerf it a second time and it would still be good

Esp compared to like BR

[vestal fulcrum]

One could say that about any other thing and it might be true, but the reality is that Assail is currently good, and that’s what matters the most

[blazing echo]

worth getting?

[lyric burrow]

If you have nothing better yeah

Swap TB to nexus

Only downside to it is not t4 flurry

[gray island]

looks good to me. I would try and swwap barrage for Warp Nexus if you have it.

[lyric burrow]

Other than that its perfect

[blazing echo]

gonna give TB an airing first, see if it helps CC but yeah I'll swap it to Nexus cheers

[blazing echo]

Ive got that in the sticker album I think too cheers

[gray island]

the lighting itself is enough suppression without TB imo.

[glossy ember]

379
only round numbers
wot the

[spare sail]

now watch it go 0-4 on perks

and blessings

[glossy ember]

trust in the omnissiah....

[spare light]

I trust it to fuck me up

that counts, right?

[gray island]

in a good way, right??

[spare light]

..sure

[plucky flax]

[glossy ember]

surely you won't get run n gun

[spare light]

I totally didn't get it 7 times in a row on my trauma arc

[gray island]

sick purge staff layout might swap the bubble for the double wwall for extra burning

[neat summit]

This is basically my build as well

[plucky flax]

Empowered bb.

[gray island]

the only thing keeping me from being a gun psyker

[plucky flax]

I've never tried empowered bb. I'm just thinking if you gotta use it on something that won't return an empowered charge then it feels bad.

[neat summit]

Most things you want to BB will return a EP charge

[plucky flax]

He's using purga staff. How to deal with a bunch of shooters far away?

Rip all charges?

[gray island]

yeah but i have guaranteed empower on elites which is the only thing I'm popping. and i have the triple stack just in case it needs more than 1

[valid talon]

cry

yell at veteran

[gray island]

bubble boy

[plucky flax]

[neat summit]

Lol you use cover, shield, and kinetic deflector to move up and torch them

That’s how I do it on auric damns

[plucky flax]

Damn so pro.

I am still in sedition.

[valid talon]

I just you know left click on them and they die

But your idea works too

[neat summit]

Yah I don’t use BB on anything not a special

[plucky flax]

[neat summit]

Regular dudes get flames and stabbed

[orchid shadow]

I find there is nothing more satisfying than shrieking a crowd down to expose a line of sight to a distant sniper, followed by a thunk of chunked brains.

[valid talon]

Is the purge staff ever worth it? I feel like smite does CC just fine and you don't give up your ranged and single target capability for it

[gray island]

purge is for killing not cc

[normal matrix]

why on earth does everyone in malice pubs have the collective co-ordination of a headless chicken

[valid talon]

I mean its good versus mobs but like...just use your melee weapon lol

[gray island]

they dont knoww the 1 rule wwhich is stick together

[valid talon]

If theres too many mobs guess what CC smite works

[silk hawk]

what is eroror 3013? xD

[gray island]

stab single targets/elites, burn hordes, BB far awway boys, bubble for def

[silk hawk]

where is your uncanny? D:

[normal matrix]

correct, i am having to flex my low level support psyker muscles more than i would like

[spare light]

'Size doesn't matter'

[valid talon]

I uh...you make brain burst work?

[plucky flax]

It doesn't get any better in damnation don't worry.

[valid talon]

I find its way too slow and investment heavy for its payoff

[normal matrix]

i run empowered psionics and soulblaze

[valid talon]

I tried it with that, same thing

I find a veteran can do what you do in half the time

[idle bay]

The most tedious penance in game...

[normal matrix]

it's kind of the krak grenade of psyker

[valid talon]

Without the caveats

[normal matrix]

well, no, BB is like the smoke nade of psyker

[plucky flax]

What about 1 Mil kills? Or 250 repair missions. Xd
