Too bad bubble won't let you survive crusher overhead.

still hearth
#

It will however stun muties

#

Even if it shouldn't

#

As long as you hit them in the bubble

glossy bough
#

Wat

still hearth
glossy bough
#

Really?

still hearth
#

I've had it happen a few times

#

They also sometimes

#

Get stuck on the bubble

glossy bough
#

That's so funky

still hearth
#

And can't run around objects

glossy bough
#

God in heaven the shields stop so much bullshit

#

Snipers, trappers

plucky flax
#

Bubble is very strong against bonbon tho.

glossy bough
#

I crutch on bubble so hard these days lmao

still hearth
#

Bubble hard counters snipers, trappers, flamers, bombers and bonbon

glossy bough
#

I think I'm becoming a worse player for how much I just bubble out of bad situations haha

still hearth
#

It also makes tank Ogryns basically immortal

glossy bough
#

"I am a generous god"

still hearth
#

Shields are pretty cool

#

I should run a shield sometime

glossy bough
#

My friends aren't ready for damnation yet, so I haven't gotten to really test stuff there

sudden trellis
#

how do you guys get matched with people that aren't allergic to coherency bonuses

glossy bough
#

I need to lfg around here I suppose

still hearth
#

There's only two coherency bonuses in the game though

#

+1% ammo

#

And +17.5% cooldown reduction

sudden trellis
#

i could never get the mandatory 3 veteran randoms to be within 60 feet of each other

still hearth
#

The rest are basically nonexistant

sudden trellis
#

so the bubble feels redundant

still hearth
#

The bubble

#

Draws people in

#

They just

#

Flock to it

glossy bough
#

Honestly the bubble has been good for random new people to give them a clear, selfish thing to rally to

#

Yeah

plucky flax
#

I'm the loner zealot. What is coherency I bring my own coherency. whatthefuck_heresy

still hearth
#

If you're in front people will move up if you bubble as well

#

Bubble is safe

glossy bough
#

If a loner zealot is out killing shit, will that trigger the % chance of a psyker to get warp charges from their kills

sage glacier
#

winton

still hearth
#

No

glossy bough
#

Because I haven't noticed that occurring if it is

#

That's what I thought yeah

still hearth
#

Only the Zealot gets coherency from their aura

glossy bough
#

Ugh

#

Yeah that's annoying

still hearth
#

They should make it "Survivor" and make it give bonuses to everyone the less allies you have alive

glossy bough
#

Legit if we're all turtled on the point and the zealot fucks off to the seventh corner of the earth and gets trappered, I'm not going out there for them

still hearth
#

Zealots gotta do what Zealots do

plucky flax
#

Stop loner zealot hate. SadgeCry

glossy bough
#

If you want to selfishly run off and do hero shit, cool, survive and prove you can handle it, I'm not killing myself to save skill issues

plucky flax
glossy bough
#

All love

still hearth
#

You have no choice

glossy bough
#

šŸ¤

#

I'll take that trade

still hearth
#

Gotta get the loner buffs

glossy bough
#

I'm falling with style

plucky flax
#

I only play loner stealth zealot now because my teammates refuse to do objectives.

glossy bough
#

That's a real thing

plucky flax
#

Especially the new hab dreyko end event.

glossy bough
#

Yeah that makes sense, my irritation is more with the ones who just park their asses in front of the door where the zombies spawn, 60 meters away, for no reason, just chopping until they get dogged

wet belfry
#

I personally can appreciate players that do stay out of coherency, if they arent dying.

half turtle
#

ok bleed knife fucks

#

at least, with trauma and bb where it perfectly covers the weaknesses of the build

#

ez space creation and repositioning for trauma, ez mutant and boss dps

potent echo
#

is this bait KEKW_ogryn

Hey guys, im new to the Game, and i rly love the psyker over all classes haha

But..i cant decide me for a tree..i played much the assail build..
If i tryed Smite we lost often because the dmg was to low (Focus from others dd was Bad)
And BB i dont have any gametime with it..can h help me?
Also what kind of staff..i rlye Like the fire for Horde..litjning i Like also..
And Trauma is also sick..
Barrier or shilds? Or maybe the knockback? I would like to build a bit Support but also wanna Deals a good amount of DMG tbh

vagrant frigate

plucky flax
#

Keep trying stuff. Even when you hit level 30 that's when the real game begins and you can try even more stuff.

#

Then you can fine tune your build.

glossy bough
#

Psyker has lots of good loadouts, the main thing I'd advise is to try to make your melee weapon, ranged weapon, and blitz (brain burst, smite, or Assail) handle the main enemy types between them

gray python
#

Im still 30^^

Psykhanium? What does it mean haha..i need to install the game to english ^^ haha

glossy bough
#

For example if you want to run purge staff, you might want to bring the Deimos force sword to kill heavy armor guys, and you could bring Assail or Brain Burst to pick off far-away enemies

#

Psykers are good at having an answer for everything. Your answers won't be as crazy as a zealot thunderhammer one shot, but you should never be helpless or ineffective against any enemy

gray python
#

Okay, bc in most viedeos they said duelling sword or chainsaw sometimes the sword that increase also Piller

gray python
cedar remnant
#

yeah, those videos almost never mention deimos sword but it's awesome

gray python
#

Okay good to know that i cant Play(build) that Küche wrong

#

I guess also two times was guys talking to me and said never use assail..ITS uslsess as shiii*

glossy bough
#

My personal comfort build is Surge staff for stunning and heavy armor, Illisi sword for horde clear, Assail for picking off shooters and elites, Bubble for team defense, and Warp Charges for more damage and bubble cooldown

gray python
glossy bough
#

Assail got nerfed but it's still really really good

cedar remnant
#

lol, assail is like cheat tbh with decent damage and braindead clear

unique mist
#

@gray python Smite is a crowd control tool, great for high difficulties to stop enemies in their tracks while your teammates kill them but its damage is low so will not get many kills itself and as I said will rely on having good teammates who know what to do

#

I use it to good effect in high difficulty missions

#

Thats what I run with it^

cedar remnant
#

smite psykers are bae, they make the mission so easy

gray python
#

On*

unique mist
#

my main strategy when I need to clear a low health mob horde by myself is to use my shriek ability to set them all on soul fire and then smite them so they are held by my smite and it deals a bit of damage to them while the soul fire deals a majority of damage and kills them

#

empowered psionics needs to reduce peril gen of smite by 30% for the duration of the cast i swear

gray python
unique mist
#

needs a buff

cedar remnant
gray python
gray python
cedar remnant
#

blocks using peril talent coupled with high dodge values of force swords and dueling sword makes you a really good tank btw

#

use them to get away from sticky situations

gray python
#

Yea tbh i dont block that much..i tryed more do dodge...i have to "learn" this..

#

Is there a good BB build that i can get?
I will log in, and Check also the sword out!

unique mist
#

I use surge staff and illisi sword with my smite build

#

Illisi so nice for horde clear

#

Too nice

cedar remnant
dull root
#

What are the dump stats on an Illisi?

#

And what are the preferred perks and blessings for it? Anyone know?

unique mist
#

Lots of good illisi blessings

#

uncanny, slaughterer, unstable power, deflector

dull root
#

Nice! And best perks?

unique mist
#

Some people will try and trick you by saying blazing spirit is a good blessing

#

It is not

#

Bloodthirsty is also apparently a good blessing but I havent used it so no idea on that

gray python
unique mist
dull root
#

Thanks, I'll take those suggestions into account when crafting!

unique mist
#

Illisi dump stat is warp resistantance

dull root
#

this is what I am currently using

unique mist
gray python
#

i heared warifre is a good passiv?

unique mist
#

Because its not great IMO, I run it on my smite build but I'll probably switch off it

#

It just doesn't do enough

#

only applies like 1 stack of soulblaze which is literally nothing

gray python
#

opkay check. yea it is btw

maiden barn
#

what could be the reason for brainburst blowing me up even though I started it at 97%? I didnt hold it for a long time or anything

#

was it some strange sort of latency issue or am I missing some sort of mechanic

kind jay
#

its a mechanic. you most likely had over 97% (its in decimals and you can see it with a mod)

severe laurel
#

Hey all, is blazing spirit any good on Voidstrike?

eternal junco
#

Or did you bb someone at 97%?

viscid matrix
kind jay
#

for bb you should be able to cast it once above 97 without exploding and twice to explode (some old ass fatshark mechanic)

eternal junco
viscid matrix
#

also during the boom animation, you can use Venting Shriek and prevent the boom

eternal junco
#

Venting shriek best option ngl

viscid matrix
#

only when you are new, once you are practiced, you dont need it for peril dump

eternal junco
#

you can be an absolute menace and build as much peril as you want without having to worry

severe laurel
#

Thanks El Chialde

eternal junco
viscid matrix
#

dont need peril dump from vent shriek at that point

eternal junco
#

yeah but that still requires the tap

viscid matrix
#

staying at high peril gives max bonuses for all blesssings and talents that scale on peril

maiden barn
#

you have to either manually vent or not have hit 100% first

viscid matrix
#

always tap quell when at 100%

eternal junco
#

you don't need the peril quell but it's helpful and it's also crowd cc

viscid matrix
#

it will instant drop to 85% or so, quell speed changes affect how much you go down

#

while above 50% your quell speed is higher

maiden barn
#

yeah I had no idea that was a thing, I thought so long as it's not 100% at the moment you're good to do another

#

but I guess the danger persists for a bit

eternal junco
#

redlining as psyker is cool and all until you need to res somebody and you don't have the peril for kinetic deflection

viscid matrix
#

ahh but at that point, you can quell as you move to them

eternal junco
#

not if you want to carve a path

potent echo
#

its not crowd cc its literally kill everything that isnt an elite KEKW_ogryn

maiden barn
#

yeah I'm testing it further now it looks like the little peril tentacles go away as soon as the natural decay takes peril below 95%

viscid matrix
#

it just requires practice, staying above 80% is advised for any build that has the toughness and damage talents that scale with peril, along with warp nexus

maiden barn
#

never made the connection that the tentacles are the que for "you will blow up with another spell"

#

focused on the percentage too much

potent echo
#

as long as you dont cast at 100, you are good

#

tentacles dont really mean anything

maiden barn
#

yea I always ride 90%+ during gameplay thats why it caught me offguard to blow up

#

thats exactly what I'm telling you is wrong lel

viscid matrix
#

you can safely drop down to 80% without loosing the max buffs from peril scaling

maiden barn
#

if you hit 100% and dont quell, the tentacles persist down to 95% of natural decay

eternal junco
#

tentacles mean you should probably hold r for a bit

potent echo
#

you can brain burst at 97% and keep tentacles forever

#

you wont explode

maiden barn
#

this is false

eternal junco
#

Or use shriek if you wanna keep slaughtering

viscid matrix
maiden barn
#

Do yo uwant me to literally record it for you man

potent echo
#

go ahead

maiden barn
#

go into the psykharium, hit 100% triggering the tentacles, then let it tick down to 97%

#

then cast

#

blows you up

viscid matrix
eternal junco
maiden barn
#

it's not latency it's IN the pskyharium

#

thats locally hosted

potent echo
#

the numbers arent real btw

viscid matrix
potent echo
maiden barn
#

it happens as low as 96%, at 95% the tentacles seem to remove themselves

#

it's not a decimal error

#

it's a mechanic

potent echo
#

peril doesnt actually decrease 1% at a time

#

it ticks on an interval

viscid matrix
#

tbh without trueperil, latency will still be a issue

potent echo
#

so your ui might show 95% but in reality its still 98% or something

viscid matrix
#

if you have above 100 latency, you may get issues with going boom

maiden barn
#

I guess peril ticking like that makes sense

#

so when it shows me 96% it's actually still at 100%

potent echo
#

you wouldnt have an issue if you tap R in between brainbursts

#

because 1 tick of r is enough to go below critical point

#

but natural decay is funky

maiden barn
#

I guess it's not my fault I blew myself up then because fatshark can't code a fucking percentage display to not say 97% when it's actually 100% but it's also my fault for trusting fatshark to code a percentage display

viscid matrix
potent echo
#

"For example, you may quell from 50% peril to 44% peril in a single tick, but the UI will show it slowly decreasing from 50% to 44% instead of reflecting the instant jump that actually occurred. This mod lets you remove that interpolation/decay, so that the value on the gauge is your exact peril amount."

#

mod author's quote

viscid matrix
#

it rounds up

#

or is it rounds down, and you are actually higher than you think

maiden barn
#

And yea normally I just quell but I was hotswapping between the saber and brainbursting a boss and got owned

viscid matrix
#

one of the 2

#

1.2 Note on True Peril mod
If you are using the True Peril mod, ensure that you have at least one decimal point enabled for it. This is because with 0 decimals it uses default rounding which is dangerous and inconsistent with "at or below" thresholds since both 96.5% and 97.4% will round to 97% and you have no way of knowing if you are actually at 97% and below, or slightly above it.

The default UI does not have this problem since it always rounds up, so it is guaranteed you are always "at or below" the value you see on the screen.

#

all the info is online to be found

viscid matrix
#

yeh, forgot what the exact was

maiden barn
#

The default UI does not have this problem since it always rounds up, so it is guaranteed you are always "at or below" the value you see on the screen.

#

doesn't my test straight up prove this false

#

oh wait you're talking about the decimal point

#

the interpolation still can trick you and lie to you

#

and get you blown up

#

evidently

viscid matrix
summer prairie
#

interpolated peril should always be higher than actual peril

i made this but idk what else to change

maiden barn
#

I have shit framerates if that plays into it

viscid matrix
#

I can guarantee it never happens to me, I only go boom when I make a mistake and use a warp attack while at 100 cause I fail to tap quell

potent echo

i need to see the 95% exploding though

@viscid matrix I should've specified, I was wondering if the laspistol was for hordes or elites

Infernus is really so marginally good imo I rather have more yolo

Ghost4 on laspistol is 1.2 seconds for some reason so you can chain it alot

steel flame

Infernus is amazing

#

That shit is where half your boss damage is

viscid matrix
#

Blessings affecting everything is part of the engine, they affect all blitzes and Soulblaze even if you weapon swap

Only thing that stops it is the duration and the blessing ending
Like BB can’t take advantage cause it’s got a too slow cast time

strong pilot
#

for gunker, it's okayish damage not ogryn levels

steel flame
#

Still Rollin for mine

strong pilot
#

but gunker feels like the only build that can effectively utilize scriers which is interesting, the other interesting mechanic is how it works with your melee as well

It's decent but struggles alot vs maulers/crushers/mutants

50% block cost reduction, get some extra stamina

i heard that u cant reduce the block cost with block efficiency on force sword, so that's false then?

zenith zealot
#

here

viscid matrix
#

Go to guide

#

I'd have to see a test video

zenith zealot

"its worse than other weapons block cost and u cant chage the inherent block cost"

is what the guy said

direct copy paste form earlier msges

Again, test video trumps everything

How does one avoid getting chewed on by a Chaos Spawn

zenith zealot
#

if u get close, it'll swing the prey

acoustic spade
#

dodging backwards hasnt worked

zenith zealot
#

whoever is in its arms

#

so get away and avoid getting hit by its swings after triggering it by getting close

viscid matrix
zenith zealot
#

it'll then throw u away

ebon lichen
#

Stay away from it and use surge staff spam. - My solution for pretty much everything that's meaty or sturdy.

acoustic spade
#

thats not what I mean

#

How do you avoid getting grabbed by it

zenith zealot
#

just gotta get the right frame

acoustic spade
#

it has grabbed me dodge sliding behind a wall

zenith zealot

u gotta dodge the right animation is all

viscid matrix
ebon lichen

Terrain is irrelevant. You have to time the dodge.

zenith zealot
#

there's no i frame shxt with the dodge right?

viscid matrix
#

Empathic Evasion can allow you to avoid it if you manage to crit

zenith zealot

as in, dodging doesnt grant brief invinsibility right?

I really hope they buff Surge once the bug is fixed

#

Half my peril to kill a dog without EP

still hearth
#

And so many zaps

#

I'd rather they remove the CC and just make it melt enemies

#

The CC thing isn't even that useful

#

Or make it a lightning bolt you throw

#

Idgaf

#

Just let it do damage

bleak tulip
#

weirdo middle ground weapon

#

no idea what the design idea for it is anymore

still hearth
#

The design is

#

That

#

They had no idea what to do

#

It does less damage than Trauma and Voidstrike as long as there's literally 2 enemies

#

And even on single targets it barely does more

#

????

bleak tulip
#

they made the thing everybody wanted, unlimited power, the CC thing and now it lost the one thing it used to be good at

still hearth
#

Like the only reason to run Surge rn is that you like funny lightning and sometimes stopping muties

#

Since both Trauma and Voidstrike can knock over enemies anyway

still hearth
#

Other than using the EP bug

#

Ye

bleak tulip
#

I made a preset for it and still haven't used the bug staff in a real match lmao

still hearth
#

I've played it like twice

#

It's fun to zap things but it's not really challenging

#

So it gets old

bleak tulip
#

partially because the cosmetic I have for it bugs out with duel sword and I don't wanna constantly look inside of my arm on l1

still hearth
#

Just use max FOV

bleak tulip
#

I don't know if that would fix or make it worse

#

iirc I'm already at 100, I don't like more fisheye than that tbh

still hearth
#

Do you have the weapon FOV mod

bleak tulip
#

nah

still hearth
#

I use that

#

Very nice

#

Push the weapon out so it doesn't cover most of my screen for bigger weapons

potent echo
#

unless?

bleak tulip
#

uncanny works with soulblaze iirc so it's not out of the question

potent echo
#

crab had a video

#

gareth vs purgatus

onyx sentinel
#

the LMB buff for staves is actually cooked, I literally just saved an auric run twice just spamming LMB at gunners blasting our ass with no vets

still hearth
#

I think you don't get the stacks from the soulblaze but you can still stack the blessing

bleak tulip
#

it's pretty funny that one of the better ways to do dots is not having the flame thrower out but your melee

potent echo
bleak tulip
#

purg in shambles

potent echo
#

watch the video lol

strong pilot
#

not sure if gunker is truly competitive or i am being carried by columnus IAG and illisi

bleak tulip
#

pretty comical

bleak tulip
#

it's not as bad as people like me make it sound when they shit on gunkers

small whale
#

gunker is decent just ammo hungry without a vet from my experience

bleak tulip
#

but it usually comes down to using the flavor of the month gun and build

small whale
#

scryers gaze is nice with it

bleak tulip
#

and let's be real, revolver is strong on every class

#

for example

#

so it'll be viable on gunker as well

strong pilot
bleak tulip
#

same I suppose for columnus

small whale
#

laspistol synergizes the best with gunker

#

crit build and the extra damage

bleak tulip
#

I think it best synergizes with the full auto mod

strong pilot
bleak tulip
small whale
#

so psyker has a talent that lets you be immune to ranged when landing crits

#

laspistol has a high crit rate paired with psykers high crit rate, you can destroy shooters and gunners while standing still

strong pilot
#

ah yes

#

i already felt it with the columnus i didnt notice any gunner damage half the run and decided to walk into a room full of gunners while hipfiring

#

i made it out without a scratch

small whale
#

i didnt know columnus had a high crit rate either angelCatBShrug

#

the damage buffs that psyker get also make some enemies a one shot in just the body

strong pilot
#

i think with rolled crit and the amount of passive crit from scriers and talents, anything will crit reliably

small whale
#

basically turns laspistol into the k12 but faster firing

#

fire frenzy was disappointing for me on my columnus braced, close range kills thay count have to be like 8m away

#

any longer you dont get any stacks

strong pilot
small whale
#

idk I dropped columnus braced it was a lil too ammo hungry

#

18 small ammo, 5 large ammo, 3 crates picked up from

strong pilot
#

idk about columnus brauto i am running the IAG version

small whale
#

IAG is probably better tbh

#

but laspistol is better on psyker with the crit synergy

#

i dont even have a good laspistol and it destroys everything

#

no dum dum or flak or manaic

strong pilot
#

cool

#

going to test it then

#

i already liked the gun upon returning on p13

#

kinda ammo hungry but feels good overall

yes the ammo reserve is pretty shitty, but its ok with a vet on the team

#

also I run scryers

#

im thinking of changing my axe to illisi though

strong pilot
#

illisi is exceeding my expectations from meat grinder testing, even with panic m1 spams i can 2shot bruisers and walk into hordes

supple skiff
#

back for the first time in a while, how do we feel abount assail?

strong pilot
#

assail is... very mid now

supple skiff
#

that was my impression

strong pilot
#

is probably still the strongest of the 3 blitz in terms of output

#

and usability

ripe crater
#

Assail is fun, but the recent nerf made it pretty ineffective at higher difficulty, unless you really exploit w/e you can to get the most out of it.

strong pilot
#

@small whale my heart is broken lol

small whale
strong pilot
#

i'll still try for dumdum or infernus on that last roll

#

need to run a game for plasteel

small whale
#

also stam 2 isnt that bad

#

and elite isnt either

strong pilot
#

i'll likely keep elite

supple skiff
#

smite seems like its just a means to take a surge staff without taking a surge staff

strong pilot
#

roll flak or maniac

supple skiff
#

not that thats a bad thing

strong pilot
#

if it doesnt brick

ripe crater
small whale
#

good plan

ripe crater
#

It's a good combi

#

I believe Surge staff makes use of several talents that also affect smite

still hearth
#

Smite LMB is supposedly high damage

#

But it isn't high damage

ripe crater
still hearth
#

I feel like they forgot to give it damage.

#

It literally does less than the RMB

#

Because it ramps up slower

ripe crater
still hearth
supple skiff
#

and a hotfix just dropped

#

hope it doesnt invalidate the half hour I spent trying to figure shit out lmfao

ripe crater
#

I've been wanting to go for a smite build but I lack good surge, and my quest for Handcannon blessing has put everything else on hold for like 2 weeks (That's dozens of mission rewards and honestly no idea how much plassteel. ALL OF IT. And still not a single revolver with handcannon has been found or crafted. Not even a T1.)

#

Supposedly the hotfix doesn't change any balance

#

But as is normal, there will be ninja fixes that aren't in the changelogs.

supple skiff
#

yeah fair

#

like what they did to void lmb, feels waaay better now

small whale
#

void wasnt even that strong it just shored up assails weaknesses

still hearth
#

Just run Empowered Psionics

ripe crater
#

Not sure how long you haven't played, but void is now the one thing that can take on anything. Not the best for monstrocities but other than that you can solo a lot of auric damnation just with voidstrike.

ripe crater
supple skiff
#

oh thats what I like to hear

#

was always my fav staff

whole sentinel
#

Yall like critstuff with trauma? Im doing brittleness /charge speed stuff instead. Am i wrong in doing so staregryn ?

still hearth
#

It literally doubles your Surge damage

#

In fact it more than doubles it

ripe crater
#

Oh emp psionics helps on Surge staff?

still hearth
#

Ye

light cargo
small whale
still hearth
#

And it doesn't use the charge

#

So you got a +125% damage Surge constantly

ripe crater
#

Ah thank you, good to know. I'm still trying to figure out the talent synergies like that

still hearth
#

It'll be removed probably

#

But for now it makes Surge feel actually good to use

small whale
#

im suprised they didnt remove in hotfix

light cargo
#

I'm a Trauma + Bubble enjoyer right now

still hearth
#

It's not game breaking tbh

#

It still doesn't outperform Trauma and Voidstrike in general

ripe crater
still hearth
#

Just on single target

small whale
#

point and click adventure

still hearth
#

Voidstrike is also just charge and click

#

Surge is just faster

unborn flicker
#

I was a voidstrike enjoyer in the beginning

small whale
#

voidstrike u gotta be pretty precise

ripe crater
#

Can lock monstrocities with voidstrike too, with the right build and staff

unborn flicker
#

But surge is my baby now

still hearth
small whale
#

surge ur just like you die

still hearth
#

I mean for a Psyker you gotta be precise

#

But the ball is still pretty big

small whale
#

yeah headshots are essential for voidstrike

still hearth
#

Compared to guns

unborn flicker
#

It’s a healthy hitbox

still hearth
#

You got way more leeway than using a gun so idk

#

No recoil either

#

No suppressoin

small whale
#

ok but im comparing surge vs void

still hearth
#

Just hover over heads

#

Sure

small whale
#

surge is point at their toes for kill

still hearth
#

But I still think its not really a hard task

unborn flicker
#

Void has range and stagger

still hearth
#

To hover over heads with Voidstrike

#

It's harder sure

#

But not like "damn this is hard"

unborn flicker
#

Surge has stun and damage

still hearth
#

Stagger is basically stun so shrug

supple skiff
#

takes some getting use to but once you do it gets pretty easy to delete shit at range

unborn flicker
#

Well you can’t stun monstrosities

ripe crater
#

Can't stun monstrocities

small whale
#

range is really not that great of a plus in dt, everythings mostly close except some specials and gunners

unborn flicker
ripe crater
supple skiff
#

what sort of shape is purge in these days

ripe crater
#

A line I believe

unborn flicker
#

It’s good at deleting hordes

#

But against specials and elites

#

A lil lacking

small whale
#

purge is good

ripe crater
#

Purge + assail works well for that

#

assail for sniping elites

unborn flicker
#

Yeah you typically want a blitz to cover the weakness of your staff

#

And vice versa

#

Id say that almost all staffs leave you with a chance to be overrun

#

Except purgatos

small whale
#

nah trauama

it can stagger even crushers

I just know the Emperor is the most powerful Psyker in the galaxy. I've seen contradicting statements on whether or not he could defeat the Chaos gods. I also know I am one of the weakest Psykers in the galaxy, this game really lets you feel what a nobody maggot you are šŸ™‚

silk hawk
unborn flicker
#

Are they even aware of it?

ripe crater
#

What is the surge bug exactly?

spare sail
#

its probably to due with that smite and surge staff share similar code if i had to guess

silk hawk
#

Well YouTube, forums and discord had that topic multiple times

spare sail
#

so its spagetti code

unborn flicker
#

The perk at the bottom that makes your next blitz empowered

silk hawk
#

So i assumed that they are aware

unborn flicker
#

It can be used with surge staff

small whale
#

the code looks like 125%+ lightning type damage for psyker

ripe crater
#

Is that introduced with patch 14?

unborn flicker
#

And doesn’t consume the charge

ripe crater
#

The bug itself?

silk hawk
unborn flicker
#

Yes it originally allowed for infinite smite

#

They changed it to a dmg buff

#

Now it buffs surge staff

#

And makes it shred

silk hawk
#

So all surge enjoys can get 125%+ dmg for free )

you can tank quite a bit with toughness, and its only fair that psyker too has to clear at least ranged a bit before reviving when we can already pick up in melee basically for free

2 health 1 toughness / 1 health 1 toughness 1 stamina is what I usually run

tier 4 could be anything tbh KEKW_ogryn

heady garnet
#

I'm good at dodging snipers, pushing bursters, I'm bad when I get overwhelmed by trash

Having a little more toughness helps with tanking some of the tougher hits in the game

mental rock

I mean if you are ogryn it will take more than 2 Bursters to down you

plucky flax

What difficulty is this? staregryn

mental rock
#

Well 130 toughness is just enough to tank a full volley from normal shooters

potent echo

160~170 for shotgunner

mental rock
#

On psyker I take 2 hp curios and a 3 Stam curio with toughness as a secondary on all of them to get that extra tankiness against normal shooters

heady garnet

Every single one of my curios currently has gunner resistance because i swear there's way more of them rn

they stack multiplicatively so it isnt that valuable to stack resists

you get ~49% than 60%

echo turtle
# heady garnet Are we supposed to be stacking health or toughness?

I stack health, mainly. Taking health and toughness as the perks.

No matter what you do your toughness pool is going to be super low, and while you can Regen it fast I find I take most of my damage when my toughness gets dropped from fire or from a burster. In which case the extra health is a lot more useful.

Stam is like wounds, when you learn the game better you won't need it

kind jay
#

curios are 100% preference

echo turtle
#

Yes and no, there are objectively bad choices.

Noticing what is killing you the most and adjusting curios to it is always subjective

#

I personally run health/tough on all of them, 2 CDR and 1 gunner resist

#

Health and toughness for the perks is always good, no matter the player a higher effective HP pool is ideal

long wharf
#

toughness for psyker is a waste

#

you don't have a large enough base toughness value to be worth boosting by small percentages

#

having +3 stamina will make you peril block better

#

I run 2 health and 1 +3 stam curio on my psyker

kind jay
#

I'd rather have tough to prevent chip damage

long wharf
#

chip damage isn't a threat to a party wipe

echo turtle
#

Stop getting hit by groaners and chip damage isn't a worry

brave fiber
#

with how much toughness regen psyker has, it’s def worth to have more total toughness to take advantage of it

echo turtle
#

Health gives you a larger pool to resist corruption from

long wharf
#

you can more about being at max toughness than having a certain number for toughness

clear heath

stamina curios is pretty overkill imo

brave fiber
echo turtle
long wharf

are we not allowed to react to messages now?

I'm not getting hit by any melee. just sneaky ranged units i don't always see

echo turtle

You don't take chip damage from range

clear heath
#

You can't react to people who have blocked you

long wharf
#

oh interesting.

kind jay
#

you do if your toughness breaks

#

which i prevent by having more of it

tame venture
#

I use 1health 1toughness 1stamina, but I really do want to try to cram in a wounds curio

clear heath
#

I do 1 hp 2 toughness

kind jay
#

this is why i said curios are 100% pref. see how everyone has a completely different opinion

brave fiber
#

I run 2 hp 1 toughness, it makes me super survivable from both chip dmg and anything else

long wharf
#

the extra 40 toughness is meaningless in Heresy+

#

too many ways for your toughness to just disappear, on top of that

brave fiber
#

It’s primarily from poke

echo turtle
noble mason
#

I run 3 toughness curios so i can get 2 shot by pox bursters and let the team carry me

long wharf
#

also, having more stamina means you can block more damage before staggering

clear heath
#

if you're taking peril block, you're already able to block way more than you should ever waste time blocking

#

the only reason i take peril block at all is a safe way to build peril

long wharf
#

I take peril block because it's the only way to pick up True Aim

echo turtle
#

Which imo is the best build

clear heath
#

regardless, base stamina + peril block should be enough for any reasonable blocking needs

#

taking stamina is such overkill

echo turtle
#

But never in a curio

clear heath
#

i would argue that's actually worse

long wharf
#

oh god no

#

why would you waste a weapon perk on stamina?

echo turtle
clear heath
#

you're giving up 25% damage against an armor type

kind jay
echo turtle
#

So?

summer prairie
#

if you use your melee <10% of the time, stamina seems fine

echo turtle
brave fiber
#

There’s so few weapons where you can get away with having stamina perks over anything else

long wharf
#

there are no weapons where a stamina perk is a good option

clear heath
#

I guess if you literally only pull it out for mutants, sure

echo turtle
#

And if you are dying to ragers with or without 63% more health that's a skill issue

kind jay
#

not in my experience

long wharf
#

if you only pull a weapon out for mutants, you still want crit and +mutant

summer prairie
#

may not even need the dmg perk for any meaningful breakpoint when you only use it for a few enemy types

echo turtle
#

Then it's back to cycling lightning and shriek

clear heath
#

I still wouldn't bother with taking stamina anyways

echo turtle
#

Deflector + stam is worth losing some flak damage imo,

But it doesn't matter all that much

#

The DPS from surge and creeping flames is astonishing, no need to invest in pumping up the diemos power

clear heath
#

building peril faster isn't even a downside in every situation

echo turtle
#

Just use it to reposition

brave fiber
#

I just don’t think deflector is all that good to begin with tbh

echo turtle
brave fiber
#

Because why block gunfire when you have bubble, or if you can just, kill them or take cover?

willow hazel

long wharf
#

bubble wasn't always an option

echo turtle
brave fiber
#

But it is now

willow hazel
echo turtle
#

Blocking to build perils is inneficient

#

It's faster than blocking which also deals 0 damage

clear heath
echo turtle
#

If you are blocking and not attacking you should be making space and repositioning

#

Not sitting around to get a venting shriek off

willow hazel
#

Spamming special to create peril does just as little as holding block

echo turtle
#

Peril ramp with the staff is sufficient, if you can't use the staff you need to reposition or clear

#

I didn't say block special

#

I said spam weapon activation

plucky flax
echo turtle
#

If you want your perils up fast you can activate the weapon a few times and vent

willow hazel
#

Agreed a staff is the best way to create peril. But spamming special on a force sword is bad
