It will however stun muties
Even if it shouldn't
As long as you hit them in the bubble
Wat

Really?
That's so funky
And can't run around objects
Bubble is very strong against bonbon tho.
I crutch on bubble so hard these days lmao
Bubble hard counters snipers, trappers, flamers, bombers and bonbon
I think I'm becoming a worse player for how much I just bubble out of bad situations haha
It also makes tank Ogryns basically immortal
"I am a generous god"
My friends aren't ready for damnation yet, so I haven't gotten to really test stuff there
how do you guys get matched with people that aren't allergic to coherency bonuses
I need to lfg around here I suppose
God I know lmao
There's only two coherency bonuses in the game though
+1% ammo
And +17.5% cooldown reduction
i could never get the mandatory 3 veteran randoms to be within 60 feet of each other
The rest are basically nonexistant
so the bubble feels redundant
Honestly the bubble has been good for random new people to give them a clear, selfish thing to rally to
Yeah
I'm the loner zealot. What is coherency I bring my own coherency. 
If a loner zealot is out killing shit, will that trigger the % chance of a psyker to get warp charges from their kills
winton
No
They should make it "Survivor" and make it give bonuses to everyone the less allies you have alive
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
Zealots gotta do what Zealots do
Stop loner zealot hate. 
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

All love
It's okay I'll throw you off the map with barrels
You have no choice

I'm falling with style
I only play loner stealth zealot now because my teammates refuse to do objectives.
That's a real thing
Especially the new hab dreyko end event.
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
I personally can appreciate players that do stay out of coherency, if they arent dying.
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
is this bait 
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
gun
try it all first. you got the psykhanium too
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.
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
Im still 30^^
Psykhanium? What does it mean haha..i need to install the game to english ^^ haha
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
training room
Okay, bc in most viedeos they said duelling sword or chainsaw sometimes the sword that increase also Piller
Gotcha thx
yeah, those videos almost never mention deimos sword but it's awesome
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*
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
I will Check this out, also thx to sinister for help btw
Assail got nerfed but it's still really really good
lol, assail is like cheat tbh with decent damage and braindead clear
@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^
smite psykers are bae, they make the mission so easy
But never use BB in Bosse..dont get IT tbh..
On*
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
Yea like i Said, often i died because No DMG or Zone from orgyn comes..
needs a buff
use smite to control the crowds and rely on your sword or staff for monstries
I guess its a good comp and Helped me also with horde but If ITS not up and Nobody ist helping me i struggle Sometimes.. also the Range units r demolishing our Team..but its Not my fault there such Bad luck tbh
Yea thats what i learned today..ist looked many high arsenic mahltsrom..so i got a feeling to play stand move and Focus..
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
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!
Psyker melees really arent for bosses lol
I use surge staff and illisi sword with my smite build
Illisi so nice for horde clear
Too nice
special attack and +power for peril generated is a sleeper combo, it hits hard and easy to use in an occasion you are already close to boss and having to block attacks. I'm not saying to go melee charge the chaos spawn
What are the dump stats on an Illisi?
And what are the preferred perks and blessings for it? Anyone know?
Nice! And best perks?
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
do u have a good BB build for me?
Perks wise? I'd say flak and maniac, or maybe carapace and maniac, carapace flak
Thanks, I'll take those suggestions into account when crafting!
Illisi dump stat is warp resistantance
I havent used this one much, BB isn't good right now, especially when compared to staffs
I'll see
this is what I am currently using
Thats pretty good
i heared warifre is a good passiv?
Is that the one that spreads soulblaze when you kill a soulblaze target
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
opkay check. yea it is btw
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
its a mechanic. you most likely had over 97% (its in decimals and you can see it with a mod)
Hey all, is blazing spirit any good on Voidstrike?
Did you start charging after 97%?
Or did you bb someone at 97%?
its alright, Surge is better, and you combo either surge or blazing with Warp Nexus
for bb you should be able to cast it once above 97 without exploding and twice to explode (some old ass fatshark mechanic)
yeah it should give you the grace at 100%
also during the boom animation, you can use Venting Shriek and prevent the boom
Venting shriek best option ngl
only when you are new, once you are practiced, you dont need it for peril dump
you can be an absolute menace and build as much peril as you want without having to worry
Thanks El Chialde
yeah but there are situations where you really just want to pump out more death
you could be me, i sit at 80% - 100% constantly, i generally use secondary on staves, then tap quell for instant 15% reduction, then do another secondary
edging peril is a skill
dont need peril dump from vent shriek at that point
yeah but that still requires the tap
staying at high peril gives max bonuses for all blesssings and talents that scale on peril
After some more testing I found out it's because I hit 100% first, then let it naturally decay to 97% then started up another burst. Apparently this does not protect you from a blowup
you have to either manually vent or not have hit 100% first
always tap quell when at 100%
you don't need the peril quell but it's helpful and it's also crowd cc
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
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
redlining as psyker is cool and all until you need to res somebody and you don't have the peril for kinetic deflection
ahh but at that point, you can quell as you move to them
not if you want to carve a path
its not crowd cc its literally kill everything that isnt an elite 
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%
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
never made the connection that the tentacles are the que for "you will blow up with another spell"
focused on the percentage too much
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
you can safely drop down to 80% without loosing the max buffs from peril scaling
if you hit 100% and dont quell, the tentacles persist down to 95% of natural decay
tentacles mean you should probably hold r for a bit
this is false
Or use shriek if you wanna keep slaughtering
nah just a quick tap will instant drop you down by 15% or so
Do yo uwant me to literally record it for you man
go ahead
go into the psykharium, hit 100% triggering the tentacles, then let it tick down to 97%
then cast
blows you up
some people are unlucky, i think latency causes the issue
yeah but if you get tentacles you're probably overextending
the numbers arent real btw
i see tentacles after every secondary use with staff š
it happens as low as 96%, at 95% the tentacles seem to remove themselves
it's not a decimal error
it's a mechanic
tbh without trueperil, latency will still be a issue
so your ui might show 95% but in reality its still 98% or something
if you have above 100 latency, you may get issues with going boom
I guess peril ticking like that makes sense
so when it shows me 96% it's actually still at 100%
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
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
Warp Nexus scales with peril, so if you are above 80% you will get max crit chance
same with the toughness damage reduction scaling with peril talent, and the damage peril scaling talent
and unstable power blessing on melee weapons
"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
when usinng that mod, if you are not using 2 decimal places, it wont be correct either
it rounds up
or is it rounds down, and you are actually higher than you think
And yea normally I just quell but I was hotswapping between the saber and brainbursting a boss and got owned
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
yeh, forgot what the exact was
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
Do you have high ping?
interpolated peril should always be higher than actual peril
Iāve never had that happen, but Iāve seen some others have it happen every time
I have shit framerates if that plays into it
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
i need to see the 95% exploding though
Anyone else only play Psyker for the shards attack and Loner Male's voice?
That would do it
What graphics card do you have?
You can also search arcotash in this channel, he has details on how to reduce graphics further than minimum
You can do Carapace to unyielding or pox to unyielding
im guessing he didnt solo them 
other psyker goes to revive while being pummeled
dies
other other psyker gets shot
gg
Aight i'll give that a shot
he just died and spam pinged
I actually mainly played surge staff, and Iām not sure what voice I picked
good stuff
Swap groaners to any of unyielding/flak/maniac
Unyielding is gonna boost your boss damage, alternatively you can go maniac if you really really really hate ragers
Ragers, muties, flamers
what guns are good for gunpsyker?
I'm sensing rage, fear and four shortened lifespans... No, not foreshortened lifespans, I said four shortened lifespans! Why are you not paying attention?! Look at me! Not them!
Well las kills specials really fast already.
revolver to the head (yours)
unyielding isnt rager 
.....
ok nvm im stupid
Ok good
you hate rager but like only dreg rager
Loner Male Psyker sounding like a schizophrenic mad high pitch voice is equal parts awesome and my personal headcanon for psyker voice
literal next map
Is this weapon a special killer or a horde killer? Should I be running deimos or illisi? I'm assuming the standard SP DD Assail crit build?
3 min in

Ability to change voice should be a thing. That, or shared inventories - wouldn't mind making a new operative.
Check pins for what each mob type is
Why do people charge into 8 crushers if they cant melee
I prefer laspistol, but other people like revolver and vraks 7, shredder is still decent, and people still vouch for recon (no clue what model)
Illisi is horde killer, deimos is single target of the force swords
Duelling sword is single target, devil claw is horde clear of non force swords
Laspistol with ghost is fun, revolver can kill carapace with handcannon blessing
what class do i play if my random teammates cant melee and just die to anything with armor?
Also has alot of cleave and bullet magnetism
Hand cannon affects assail if you weapon swap
@viscid matrix I should've specified, I was wondering if the laspistol was for hordes or elites
So I can chose a melee weapon that does the other
Play auric damnation, usually you would get better players
Tbh for gunker, you want to go single target for guns
See I would use ghost but empathic evasion kinda does its job but better
@potent echo I havent tried auric yet
That's so cheesy but use it before it gets patched I guess
If ever I was to see a Psyker be voiced in a tv show, it'd be by Jonathan Keeble, Greg Jones or Nolan North

Itās been in the game forever
I use both, just run into ranged encounters blasting
Itās in vermintide 2 as well
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
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 canāt take advantage cause itās got a too slow cast time
i've tried the columnus IAG so far
for gunker, it's okayish damage not ogryn levels
Pygex been saying it's pretty good
Still Rollin for mine
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
So my weapon blessings effect assyle?
It absolutely melts if you headshot with it
with the columnus i can deal with maulers and muties just fine
But bodyshots take forever
https://streamable.com/zjpqc5
Dueling sword blessing applying after weapon swap, you have 1s to use assail before the blessing ends
If staves other than void actually benefited more from crits .........
Just fine yea but there are better options, maybe not for psyker though 
is just the peril management with scriers, which i admit i am terrible at
Uff
All staves need crits to be good
Surge has crit damage modifier
Trauma uses blazing spirit for Soulblaze on crit
Void has surge for double tap in crit
Purga applies double stacks of Soulblaze on crit
There's a reason we have so much crit in our tree
And also why we love zealots who share thier crit chance on the bottom left keystone
they need to do something about the performance of the game, i weep for your potato mode
Itās not me, itās @spice veldt
He has details on how to lower settings further than the standard minimum in the ingame settings
Purgatus only gets marginally better at stacking fire with 20% more crit, trauma benefits more from having wildfire and fire shout which you can't get with a scrier and surge already has a 50 crit chance with nexus 4 but has no crit blessings
DLSS helps a lot, anyone who can use it should always use it
it looks way worse than l4d2 on medium jfc, developers these days leave everything to upscale tech and even with the crutch they barely make the game perform well for most machines
Surge not having surge is just kinda sad
It's a crime
More crit is always good, there is no downside to going higher crit
Scriers is dangerous if you use a staff, but it feels good
Tbh surge should be on surge staff only š
I tried scrier purg on patch13
So is that 1sec the rule for every weapon blessing?
Really mid 
Yes it's just guns benefit more from scrier than staves....which was the point originally
I really wanted melee psyker though
No itās just the blessing duration that dictates it
Most of the armour shred blessings last 1-3 seconds
Uncanny doesn't work if the weapon isn't out
Melee Scriers build is great
i heard some cool things about scrier and forcesword with quell peril
Melee scrier is nice but I want melee talents
But lightning never strikes twice 
Faster attack speed at high peril etc
reminds me of UNCHAINEDDDD
https://streamable.com/zjpqc5
This proves you are wrong, just have only 1s to get an asail off before it ends due to low duration
(even) More stamina Regen 
I want a talent that gives me ammo in exchange for peril
I think it works because you have your sword out when the assail hits
warp bullets, getting heretical here, sibling
Mainly you can try using purgatus against crusher in the psyk, even with 5 stacks uncanny, the soulblaze damage is only high when your sword is out
I can record now
Try it out, you donāt have to swap back to sword after asail
if i want to do a full block psyker for memeing purposes, what melee weapon would be the best to bring for blocking
I have only 2 wounds, I canāt afford to lose one
any forcesword with defelector
Illisi or Deimos, Deflector blessing, Block perk
Incorrect. You have two wounds. You can afford to precisely lose one and only one.
That is usually taken by grimoires, I canāt afford 1
Just force your vet bf to run the corruption cleanse thingy
even tho there are people who say that force sword is the worst for blocking due to the 3 base stam + highest block cost?
Block meme sword
50% block cost reduction, get some extra stamina
We also have peril block cost talent
i heard that u cant reduce the block cost with block efficiency on force sword, so that's false then?
Where did you hear that?
here
I'd have to see a test video
"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
What makes force swords superior for blocking is Deflector blessing above all else
Used to get infinite dodges too, but alas
Watch Uncanny needs the sword out and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
you need the sword out
Who and where? Cause in my experience, only ogryn can block for longer than a psyker
well, i might be mistaken since he didnt specifically replied to my msg when i ask if even block eff does not effect it, and there was a lot of other shxt going on
I guess I thought uncanny worked the same way as Hand Cannon does
but this may have been his response "u can but dont expect to tank 2 ragers combos"
Best bet check the guide in the pins, itās updated regularly, and everything is tested
yeah reading thro it as we speak
get close, and get away
if u get close, it'll swing the prey
dodging backwards hasnt worked
whoever is in its arms
so get away and avoid getting hit by its swings after triggering it by getting close
If an ally walks in melee range, he does the hit a motherfucker with another motherfucker animation
it'll then throw u away
Stay away from it and use surge staff spam. - My solution for pretty much everything that's meaty or sturdy.
dodging works
just gotta get the right frame
it has grabbed me dodge sliding behind a wall
u gotta dodge the right animation is all
Ohh, he does a grab animation, you can learn to dodge it
Terrain is irrelevant. You have to time the dodge.
there's no i frame shxt with the dodge right?
Empathic Evasion can allow you to avoid it if you manage to crit
as in, dodging doesnt grant brief invinsibility right?
Slaughterer ascendant blaze wildfire used to work where you get stacks just from holding the sword.
Was good time.
Slide and dodges have i frames, not sure exact where in the animation
Slide I think is just damage reduction, used to be a pin with the numbers but Iām not sure if itās still accurate or even exists in the game anymore
I really hope they buff Surge once the bug is fixed
Half my peril to kill a dog without EP
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
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
????
they made the thing everybody wanted, unlimited power, the CC thing and now it lost the one thing it used to be good at
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
bug abuse
I made a preset for it and still haven't used the bug staff in a real match lmao
I've played it like twice
It's fun to zap things but it's not really challenging
So it gets old
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
Just use max FOV
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
Do you have the weapon FOV mod
nah
I use that
Very nice
Push the weapon out so it doesn't cover most of my screen for bigger weapons
it still does if you hold sword afaik
unless?
uncanny works with soulblaze iirc so it's not out of the question
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
I think you don't get the stacks from the soulblaze but you can still stack the blessing
it's pretty funny that one of the better ways to do dots is not having the flame thrower out but your melee
purg in shambles
watch the video lol
not sure if gunker is truly competitive or i am being carried by columnus IAG and illisi
I did, I also tested this myself after hearing about it
pretty comical
probably a bit of both
it's not as bad as people like me make it sound when they shit on gunkers
gunker is decent just ammo hungry without a vet from my experience
but it usually comes down to using the flavor of the month gun and build
scryers gaze is nice with it
and let's be real, revolver is strong on every class
for example
so it'll be viable on gunker as well
i am shit at revolver, so not in my dream
same I suppose for columnus
I think it best synergizes with the full auto mod
how so?

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
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
i didnt know columnus had a high crit rate either 
the damage buffs that psyker get also make some enemies a one shot in just the body
i think with rolled crit and the amount of passive crit from scriers and talents, anything will crit reliably
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
what is the alternative you are running?
idk I dropped columnus braced it was a lil too ammo hungry
18 small ammo, 5 large ammo, 3 crates picked up from
idk about columnus brauto i am running the IAG version
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
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
illisi is exceeding my expectations from meat grinder testing, even with panic m1 spams i can 2shot bruisers and walk into hordes
back for the first time in a while, how do we feel abount assail?
assail is... very mid now
that was my impression
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.
@small whale my heart is broken lol
you can still get dum dum 4 š
i'll still try for dumdum or infernus on that last roll
need to run a game for plasteel
i'll likely keep elite
smite seems like its just a means to take a surge staff without taking a surge staff
roll flak or maniac
not that thats a bad thing
if it doesnt brick
Not really. Smite is big cc, surge is big damage
good plan
It's a good combi
I believe Surge staff makes use of several talents that also affect smite
It really isn't.
I feel like they forgot to give it damage.
It literally does less than the RMB
Because it ramps up slower
That might explain things!

and a hotfix just dropped
hope it doesnt invalidate the half hour I spent trying to figure shit out lmfao
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.
void wasnt even that strong it just shored up assails weaknesses
You don't need a good surge its okay
Just run Empowered Psionics

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.
That bug was fixed, and the dmg increase still doesn't help it kill mutants and etc fast enough, afaik. Though I haven't tested much since patch 14.
Yall like critstuff with trauma? Im doing brittleness /charge speed stuff instead. Am i wrong in doing so
?
Uh what
It literally doubles your Surge damage

In fact it more than doubles it
Oh emp psionics helps on Surge staff?
Ye
Wait really? I've seen people call Voidstrike a meme staff?
void struggles in bad situations when surrounded, other staves like purg and trauama are way better
Ah thank you, good to know. I'm still trying to figure out the talent synergies like that
im suprised they didnt remove in hotfix
I'm a Trauma + Bubble enjoyer right now
It's not game breaking tbh
It still doesn't outperform Trauma and Voidstrike in general
It's like "the beginner staff" due to how easy it is to use. But that doesn't make it any less effective.
Just on single target
thats surge >.>
point and click adventure
I was a voidstrike enjoyer in the beginning
voidstrike u gotta be pretty precise
Can lock monstrocities with voidstrike too, with the right build and staff
But surge is my baby now
Ehhh
surge ur just like you die
yeah headshots are essential for voidstrike
Compared to guns
Itās a healthy hitbox
ok but im comparing surge vs void
surge is point at their toes for kill
But I still think its not really a hard task
Void has range and stagger
To hover over heads with Voidstrike
It's harder sure
But not like "damn this is hard"
Surge has stun and damage
Stagger is basically stun so 
takes some getting use to but once you do it gets pretty easy to delete shit at range
Well you canāt stun monstrosities
Can't stun monstrocities
range is really not that great of a plus in dt, everythings mostly close except some specials and gunners
Love u
what sort of shape is purge in these days
A line I believe
purge is good
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
Mostly true but I still play this to play a more shooter focused vermintide
Man trauma pushes enemies behind you
trauma thrives knee deep in shit
so true
trick is to keep exploding it on yourself to be invincible
ran that with demois before I stopped playing
what are important stats on a lightning staff?
stonks
if there arent maulers up your ass it dont feel as good
You fuck your teammates
thats just a bonus
The crusher or mauler that gets blasted behind your line gets up
And finds many open backs
To blow out
i see nothing wrong there

This is a single player co-op game after all
This is why the imperium hates psykers
is there a way to change one's blitz without having to redo the tree for everthing below it?
No, just the Emperor does, afraid there will one day be one stronger than Him.
There's a mod for that
Nope
lol figures
Did they fix surge bug?
no qol only war
I thought he wanted a psychic awakening
its not in the patchnotes
Mods adress QoL so let em focus on the rest. I agree.
I have about 0.125% understanding of the lore of 40k, so you can safely ignore any and all theories I throw out š
Every fatshark vet, knows that there is always stealth fixes in their patches...
Same
well i havent heard psykers screaming about it yet so its probably safe
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 š
how long have you been writing for GW?
That's sad, gonna test it in a few hours myself.
We are definitely not alpha class
did a quick source comparison and don't see any unlisted fixes/changes
Nice
our psykers are just under the emperors level
Bruh if we were, weād be able to brain burst hundreds of enemies at once without needing to channel
I am surprised that they ignored such a major issue...
Are they even aware of it?
What is the surge bug exactly?
its probably to due with that smite and surge staff share similar code if i had to guess
Well YouTube, forums and discord had that topic multiple times
so its spagetti code
The perk at the bottom that makes your next blitz empowered
So i assumed that they are aware
It can be used with surge staff
the code looks like 125%+ lightning type damage for psyker
Is that introduced with patch 14?
And doesnāt consume the charge
The bug itself?
Yep
Yes it originally allowed for infinite smite
They changed it to a dmg buff
Now it buffs surge staff
And makes it shred
So all surge enjoys can get 125%+ dmg for free )
Which is a lot
yea enjoyed this for a while heh
@small whale saved, somewhat
Ngl I miss it
gunpsyker more effective than a specialized vet or something?
Scriers gaze
i dont think a gun psyker can be more effective than a vet that decides to bring plasma
I know hvy laspistol can give the highest dps for gunpsyker. I just wonder if it's the right class for the playstyle
Ehhhh
RSI pistol
i've enjoyed the columnus so far, trying laspis on @small whale 's recommendation
highest dps against anything no carapace
oh wow they really pumped up surge
Its extra dps
this is nuts
Over support
the surge is bugged right now isnt it ?
I was keeping up with a surge psyker so ya the dps is pretty insane on laspistol
yes
How so?
+125% dmg
With or without bug?
Any advice on what to do for second modification?
with surge smite and ep
surge + empowered psionics is a bug so, don't expect it to be this way forver
id personally change slaughterer
to slaughterer IV 
lol, I was thinking that. I'm new to the class, so I don't know which blessings are good
Oh lol I see
specifically +125%
yeah this, realised what i typed
deflector is fine too, although you cant block bullets while reviving someone anymore
Which is cringe
not that you really need to ideally
Aināt that the truth
for a second there I though killing a crusher in 1.5 seconds in damnation with aoe damage was intended lmfao
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
deflector is really clutch if you accidentally wake a dh and have kinetic deflection on
run 30% ally revive speed, and it doesnt matter
duellingsword has better block efficiency than force sword too
so that with kinetic works really well
But it wonāt block bullets
yea it cant
Reapers be gatting
the most efficient block against dakka is still a random crate
No one upvoted it on Reddit š©
they are affraid of the power
reddit are malice players they dont understand
on god
That or make a force sword swing create a little blade that slices longer range
Like a blade of wind
moonlight greatsword lets go
Thatād be sick
The bug probably existed before
People just didn't realize it since it was 30% damage then
the telekine shields, can they soak a decent amount of damage ?
aiui they have a minimum timer where they can literally not be destroyed, at least the bubble?
and then they soak x hits somehow
the directional ones also soak mutie charges and hounds like twice
Yeah
That's pretty much it
They seem to be able to take infinite nets and flames though
and bonbon vomit
Alright i need 2 find a build ik nothing about, i just witnessed a psyker play the game like a zealot and i need it
dude had a revolver, one of the force swords i think iblis or whatever its called sciars gaze and assail
but literally all he did was run through rooms with the sword cleaving hordes and 2 shotting maulers im so confused
So it might be Handcannon on Revolver
With Deimos
Since Handcannon is global so Deimos crits would have 80% rending
and some movetech on the deimos probably
Did the hotfix patch my surge abuse? 
im certain it wasnt deimos
no
as thats the only one ive used
I mean Illisi won't 2-shot maulers, at least not without special I'm pretty sure.
So depends on if they spammed the special
duellingsword?
unless he had a skin? but it literally just looked like a normal iblis or whatever the basic looking force sword is
or the forbidden obscurus
is probably the red camo
makes anything looks like an illisi
Are we supposed to be stacking health or toughness?
Either or
health gives you more second chances so probably health
Whichever you prefer
but im stubborn so im taking toughness
Depends on class and preference
if you dont take health you go down in 2 burster/sniper hits
2 health 1 toughness / 1 health 1 toughness 1 stamina is what I usually run
We seem to have a lot of toughness talents
so its up to you if you avoid getting hit by those or get hit by those alot
twas only tier 4
tier 4 could be anything tbh 
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
I mean if you are ogryn it will take more than 2 Bursters to down you
like?
What difficulty is this? 
Well 130 toughness is just enough to tank a full volley from normal shooters
160~170 for shotgunner
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
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
oh damn
you get ~49% than 60%
still similar i guess 
brain burst has infinite range so try to burst the elites furthest away
also game is too easy so everyone is stealing each other's jobs 
Just play damnation
team is most efficient when everyone is covering a different area
if there are 3 anti elite loadouts staring at a doorway probably just be a rear guard and kill some specials sneaking in
usually things go bad when 4 people tunnel vision forward then a burster/mutant comes from behind and ends everything
just got warp battery today finally
it was still insane 2 watch though again ive only used deimos are one of the other 2 force swords for horde clear maybe?
its still probably a deimos
Find low intensity damnation. It's really chill.
ehhhh
illisi isnt that cracked to be two shotting maulers in heresy
last 3 times ive tried that ive gotten legitimate new players leveling there first character
losing 1v1s to groaners

idk why there even allowed in tier 5 so early
isnt that great, that means you get to kill everything

What blessings do you run on Deimos?
Uncanny and unstable are what I have on mine and it does pretty good. I could see riposte being good as well.
What's the best psyker melee for dealing with beefier enemies?
Mk iv duelling sword with uncanny. Heavy them to death
dueling sword chews through pretty much everything
wtf this thing shreds
yeah it's really fun lol
what's the point of the special though
stagger
Chainsword. Do special heavies
chainsword is fun but im looking for something different with psyker
dueling sword appears to be it
Force swords are your other option
You can do the same thing as chainsword, but it's still alright for mobbing
That said, I have no clue how the swords differ
Love the Mk IV. Running with this at the moment
That's a pretty weapon. What's the skin?
i run Executor and Deflector, as for perks i go +25% damage to Flak Armor and +25% damage to Maniacs

Still waiting to get my eyebrows back with the Chem Safe Rebreather.
Itās not really for mobs though right?
Havenāt used it much
I use it to clear hordes too
Did my first auric today and they feel easier than modified 4s and 5s
Always depends on the team tbh
Most aurics are people who have mastered their class or are aware enough of their weaknesses to not be shitters
The Mk. IV has enough cleave on the LA to chew up hordes. I think only the Mk. V has issues with horde clear.
is 25% max health curio real or is the max 20%?
OK thanks, good to know
Max is 21% currently.
21% max
They should make +2 wounds curio for martyrdom zealots. 
Yes
Yes. Red Rarity wound curious when
Anyone notice smite really Fs poxbursters? They just fall down and die almost instantly after getting zapped.
it does have high stun
This is on damnation
I hear a burster I put away my voidstrike staff and ready smite š¤£
"gee billy, how come your mom lets you have two staves?"
there are two ways to go with the deimos, Uncanny + a power blessing like slaught or unstable for a damage weapon with Flaniak, or you can run it as a survival tool using deflector and grabbing a stam perk
double bonk
I am so happy rn
š
congrats
the most topical subtitle
Me?
We found it annoying to try to end the bot in regular so we ended up going into maelstrom to kill off the bot easier and have a higher chance of monstrosities š
alrighty bois. starting y psycher. what staff should i be looking for
dont give me that horsecrap, there are always differences
In reality you want most of them but I really love the Surge staff
Well you didn't tell us shit about what you're doing with them you prick
There's 4 different staves that all do wildly different things in different ways, and you'll end up wanting each of them.
And guns do nothing for psyker
Everyone has their opinions. Some are doing a lot of damage yada yada yada.
Eat have their own feel to them. Play around to see what you like.
Know that some staves, like trauma, feel really bad unless they have high rolls. BUT there are are still people who don't like it.
Eat
Purg and surge don't need precise aiming. (unless you use the surge LMB)
Void and trauma, more so void, require more aiming.
Also void and trauma LMB
yup
Which can belt out damage alright
Whatās the staff with the ground explosion rmb?
Trauma
OK cool thanks
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
curios are 100% preference
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
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
I'd rather have tough to prevent chip damage
chip damage isn't a threat to a party wipe
Stop getting hit by groaners and chip damage isn't a worry
with how much toughness regen psyker has, itās def worth to have more total toughness to take advantage of it
Health gives you a larger pool to resist corruption from
not really
you can more about being at max toughness than having a certain number for toughness
stamina curios is pretty overkill imo
^
Eh, you can stack all the toughness and resist and you still look pretty much the entire pool from one or two hits
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
You don't take chip damage from range
You can't react to people who have blocked you
oh interesting.
I use 1health 1toughness 1stamina, but I really do want to try to cram in a wounds curio
I do 1 hp 2 toughness
this is why i said curios are 100% pref. see how everyone has a completely different opinion
I run 2 hp 1 toughness, it makes me super survivable from both chip dmg and anything else
the extra 40 toughness is meaningless in Heresy+
too many ways for your toughness to just disappear, on top of that
Itās primarily from poke
Ranged attacks deal 4x damage to toughness depending on the attack, odds are the curios won't be the difference between toughness breaking and not
I run 3 toughness curios so i can get 2 shot by pox bursters and let the team carry me
based
Exaaaaaaactly
also, having more stamina means you can block more damage before staggering
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
I take peril block because it's the only way to pick up True Aim
Yeah, it works good in a creeping flames build
Which imo is the best build
regardless, base stamina + peril block should be enough for any reasonable blocking needs
taking stamina is such overkill
I would argue it's worth grabbing stam as a weapon perk in that situation
But never in a curio
i would argue that's actually worse
I run creeping flames with surge, the sword doesn't need to do damage
you're giving up 25% damage against an armor type
ranged attacks hurt less with distance sans sniper. a rager stun locking you in melee is going to eat that extra health regardless
So?
if you use your melee <10% of the time, stamina seems fine
In combat extra health is significantly better
Thereās so few weapons where you can get away with having stamina perks over anything else
there are no weapons where a stamina perk is a good option
I guess if you literally only pull it out for mutants, sure
And if you are dying to ragers with or without 63% more health that's a skill issue
not in my experience
if you only pull a weapon out for mutants, you still want crit and +mutant
may not even need the dmg perk for any meaningful breakpoint when you only use it for a few enemy types
Realistically it's out only for hordes or when I need to make space
Then it's back to cycling lightning and shriek
I still wouldn't bother with taking stamina anyways
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
building peril faster isn't even a downside in every situation
Just use it to reposition
I just donāt think deflector is all that good to begin with tbh
it's situational
It's really just for OH SHIT moments, when there's like a rager pack, crushers, flamers and a horde on your ass
Because why block gunfire when you have bubble, or if you can just, kill them or take cover?
If you are using peril block for creeping flames then +stamina is actively bad
Deflector keeps you alive in situations where you otherwise die.
I only use it in a surge/creeping flames build though
bubble wasn't always an option
No, you don't peril block to build perils just spam the weapon actuvation
But it is now
That's very slow and does 0 damage
Blocking to build perils is inneficient
It's faster than blocking which also deals 0 damage
i find it funny that 2 of those things you mentioned have unblockables
but yeah for rager packs sure
If you are blocking and not attacking you should be making space and repositioning
Not sitting around to get a venting shriek off
Spamming special to create peril does just as little as holding block
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

If you want your perils up fast you can activate the weapon a few times and vent
Agreed a staff is the best way to create peril. But spamming special on a force sword is bad
