like cool space wizard is cool
buuuuut
pointy sword
I turned it into this
still unsure if I wanna yoink or not
cleave isnt a super important stat for dueling swords
it's mostly a damage/finesse weapon
then pen i think
followed by cleave/mobility
he’s referring to the rampage cleave not the stat I assume
ahh
he doesn’t know about the skewer life
skewer > force sword
but fire sword 
Not based + L

I refuse to believe such lies
you have no idea
yall. gaze with columnus. it fucks so hard (you need a vet with scavenger on your team otherwise ammo eco is pain)
Strength in ignorance
brrrrrr
it's genuinely incredibly good, not even a meme
Vets on suicide watch when gaze Psyker in the AO
the crits go insane
that’s probably the closest we get to having an lmg
I mean. Mine is one.
Weapon Customization should be vanilla ngl
Shame that non-premium vanilla is “do you want red or blue weapon”
but yeah Gaze on Columnus is incredible, actually probably better than Exec Stance Vet
now go say that over there 
With another Vet I was able to maintain near 100% ammo for multiple auric games
without it's a bit painful
Defo gonna be my "oh shit a scavenger Vet" auric build it's a blast
and the sheer amount of crits give you huge toughness and ranged immunity it's not a meme
Hadron. I hate you too.
Hello, was wondering if Warp rupture is even decent to use at all?
nah
Nah
shield
Light entire horde with spreading DoT > 100-200 damage cone
blaze better
What keystone are you running
Does having only 4 max stacks of warp charges make the warp battery easier? Or do you need to have the 6 stack perk to complete it?
what staff would i be looking for to clear out large crouds
flame
then what am i doing wrong with the flame staff
show me your staff
Just a dip into DD for toughness regen more than anything
Dueling 4, Columnus IAG
another good one for hoards is the ground explosion one
the two soulblaze talents didn't seem to do much to me but I see people taking them
Free damage and Wildfire can propogate that across the entire horde very quickly
on Maelstrums you get a lot of mixed hordes with elites and that free horde damage stacks up nicely
Perilous combustion goes brrrrrrr
GARBAGE. It has damage fall off base on the distance as well.
Not for toughness, for SPEEED
Speeeeeeeeeeeed
Absolutely terrible, grab this one instead, at 100% peril it can do insane hordeclear (I have a Surge Staff + Combat Knife build that uses ONLY shriek for horde-clear and it almost always gets 600+ lessers on Maelstrums
The speed is nice too haha, honestly it's just there so I thought eh why not.
Warp Siphon doesn't work with Gaze idk if thats a bug or intentional
You only need 84% (True peril 1 or 2 Decimals) or 85% if using default UI to get the 6 stacks
and I don't have a use for empowered Surge, that's just my emergency CC
Good to know ty
Average dd scrier psyker:
Check out Psyker Atheneum, you gonna love it sibling. Link is in the pinned messages.
With combat blade yes
In rea view mirror of average Zealot...
I've come to use combat knife on a ton of my Psyker builds lately
the mobility is super clutch
both my Purgatus and Surge staff builds use them
I don't like Voidstrike/Traumas gameplay loop so I don't use em there
the cooldown aspect does not, but the other parts of WS are arguably the reason to run it over DD or empower
aight fellas, got a questin
too much of a point sink, I'd have to pass up a lot of toughness nodes that I value over it
thoughts on dropping kinetic deflection for malefic momentum? 
With how often Gaze is off CD I just won't be getting much out of it
ty for the responses
and how annoying it'd be to try and prebuff on trash every time to get that 20% damage increase
Take two points off, grab Wildfire + Kinetic Deflection
Imho
kinetic deflection
Try out a surge + Creeping Flames build sometime, crazily enough my best horde-clear on Maelstrum
Creeping Flames is just Psykerheimer
Press F to hordeclear

Wildfire currently has basically 1 good use only: with the perilous combustion nerf, you need a second source of soulblaze to apply the max 4 soulblaze stacks to nearby enemies, and wildfire should do that
heres my staff right now
Nah the more I think about it, I'd go Wildfire + KD
Surge priotizies elites/specials in hordes
Perilous should proc a lot
Even if it doesn't kill hordes it'll leave them weakened
but then again I am a creeping flames addict
lemme check my last game
speaking of purgatus, would the top 3 stats to go for is damage, Cloud radius and Warp Resisatnce?
I like charge speed personally but the guide we have pinned might have more definitive answers
Wait you're not taking Lightning Storm / Enfeeble? They still work with Surge staff if you didn't know
If I hold BB with rmb but then start holding lmb does it switch to normal charging?
in my last game, I had 402k damage done, with 8k being warpfire.
the guide says that enfeeble doesn't work on surge
lightning storm is great yes but i'm going on a leg assuming they'll fix that
so i don't wanna get used to the better lightning

even if i love it
Oh good to know, 1 extra point for me
so yeah unsure if it's really gonna up my damage but i'll give it a shot. Gonna go on the assumption that malefic momentum would probably be overall more damage
also since this is a crit focused build i'm wondering if I should swap out rampage for shred lv4...
???
First target modifer
But first target only matters if you hit many enemies
why would it count overall damage per single strike
stop bringing brain burst into damnation plz
Why?
Huh?
I use it, to take out snipers and I never use the other when I have it @quasi junco
If you're vet player then do your fucking job at killing long ranged targets
I keep meeting exec stance vets that do NOTHING when there's like 10 gunners shooting from across the map
Id rather psykers bring surge or assail, and exec stance is also garbage
compared to shout its terrible
It's different abilities why are you comparing them
Different abilities with different purpouses

Stop telling other people how to play. Any of the skills are fine in Damn Auric even
exec stance is for blind players who can't see anything, shout is a much better choice for the toughness alone
uh
Obivious Troll is Obivious
brain burst also needs a buff, so there is that, hopefully FS does something next patch
I guess insane damage increase is just not threre in your version of the game
also true damage to carapace enemies without damage falloff is bad?
its charge time is only good if you have EP
and on the harder difficulties good luck with 5 crushers coming at you
BB has a higher opportunity cost to use well in high difficulty content compared to assail and smite, but it can do decent work on maulers and lower. it is definitely not a dps option though, all burst
You’re an idiot lol, brain burst is amazing
this buff bar is pretty fucking funny 
I’ve seen decent BR psykers running surge force for the big bois. They were able to hold their own 🤷🏼♀️
compared to assail it is not
Good luck hitting carapce and flak on high diff with assail lol
i liked BB with the purgatus staff back prior to the rework patch
Apples rule oranges are wet shit
Perish
Oranges aren't even red
assail is fine against flak since it has 75% ADM against them
ogryn chat is one block down
All depends on team makeup at the end of the day, and how well the player on the other end of the Psyker screen knows their build
bb can do jsut fine
it's like telling people to always bring the most effective loadout instead of letting them use whatever is viable
a psyker with BB isn't gonna make or break the run
it helps highlight who I should blast with my hellbore, so I guess it does have its uses

I still run emp bb with trauma
had plenty of moments where BB had its uses before I ran smite
mostly as a safe peek and kill tool
emp BB is great, should be default BB honestly
or to catch specific enemies too far for me to zap em with my surge staff
empower BB with purg and an illisi would probably slap
melee could be anything really
Dueling sword would be fun with that imo
Emp bb is a good compliment to purg
gonna test this out with illisi/surge, too curious.
I don't love purg but bb makes sense as a compliment, assail and smite both fairly redundant
Holy emperor I love the German psyker
imagine being so bad at naming things you cant even think of a new name so you just call it its colour 
so whats the deal with dueling swords and their wierd dmg numberes
its all about finesse and crit
Thoughts? I'm thinking crit -> maniac and raking fire to dumdum. Raking fire can be useful against monstrosities and bulwarks but fire frenzy seems better against everything else. Even if the close range radius is super short at 7.5m or so.
If this was my vet I would keep raking fire.
personally i'd be fine with keeping crit
keep ammo economy in mind, you dont have ammo regen on par with vet
void+assail is still king of psyker builds
Only super sweats can make anything else compete. Average player can hold his own in t5+ and good ones can hard carry
Dont get me wrong I like playing other builds but void assail is the best generalist psyker. If youre playing with a solid group the purg/surg would be great.
I dunno man after the void nerf I feel like surge is stronger
2 shot crushers plus chain
and smite is just very good with EP
@near wyvern @steel flame are ya'll ready to see a near perfect columnus get bricked and deleted
Ive never liked EP because the bonuses arent universal like with WC
does EP trigger on kinetic flayer procs?
not perfect, get lost
Not terrible
neat
But thats the thing. Can you countersnipe and take out long ranged gunners?
That's your vet's job
the range of surge isn't that short and you don't need to be that close to kill enemies
and at that distance falloff and inaccuracy is significant for ranged enemies
range advantage is pretty whatever in this game
no
any class can clear ranged patrols depending on their build
I dislike this adherence to roles based on classes
or even by just rushing in with melee
I would take it. Slap dumdum over deathspitter and flak over stamina and you're good.
ye did that, fishing for dumdum now
yes the left click has infinite? range?
Also this
psyker's left click on staves (exluding purgatus) is insane
That's like
what
250 dmg per shot?
400 ish on headshots which also stagger gunners
also high crit that psyker has
How did it go?
Not bad @near wyvern You won't be seeing a clip of me holding X on it
Fishing for a t3/4 dumdum and swapped stam to flak
Heretic. You have to believe in the gifts Emperor gives you.
What perk should I change and to what?
Content warning: Psyker bullying
Rule 6 UwU
No

I will keep briging it to AUrics, and be a valuable member of my Team
teamBB
brb making a char called "Pocket Brainburst" and unbinding everything but my W key and G key
the Bs are silent
Watching the Assail Psyker in a Damnation Maelstrom Scab Only Melee blow up 3 times trying to deal with the ragers and maulers

While the Veteran with the Plasma gun does gods work
Just saw a vet named Cake, and the game said "fuck them in particular". RIP Cake.
lol "melee only" really fucked with me when I first tried ti
I was NOT expecting "oops all carapace"
I like bringing uh ... that one that causes blazestacks when you kill elites to those
You can cause so much damn fire
To the melee hordes that surround them
any psyker revolvers in here
I like surgical + hand cannon for blessings.
Perks I do carapace to be able to crit two shot crushers.
I have specials as my locked perk, but IDK if that contributes to breakpoints.
hand cannon is pretty much mandatory
the only time i used the revolver was during the beta
never touched it since. It's not bad, it's just that I've been using nothing but the voidstaff since Launch (as soon as I got it)
i dont like surgical so much as i tend to very quickly swap and quickscope then back to melee. i rarely aim for more than a split second
Valid. I'm slow af so surgical is my friend.
what is considered a good flame staff?
dump damage as it only affects the initial hit, not the DOT
How is the flame staff compared to the others? haven't tried it yet.
short range, great aoe, decent stagger, ok DOT
you'll either like it or really hate it
honestly this is my big issue too. i cant get a feel for WICH staff i want
it's an infinite cleave weapon so you can't go wrong with it nevertheless
great anti horde/monster weapon
does it work with the BB upgrade for 10% to trigger? on the dot?
sad
and kinetic flayer has a global cooldown, not per-enemy
it's one of the talents that is exactly as bad as it sounds
wait for real? I've been running it with void staff guess I didn't notice it not procing cause of the damage on it lol
any shield enjoyer here
how much grief would it be to not take the final node of dome or rectangle shield 
kinetic flayer was imported from the old feat tree where brainburst and warp charges used to be mechanically tied together
so there was a use in kinetic flayer being used to maintain warp charges
but they didn't change anything when importing it over to the skill tree, so it just ends up being a very bad damage talent
i run dome shield w/o the toughness regen/DR node
cuz the dome shield by itself is pretty neat
you shut down ranged attacks, including flamers, trapper nets, and bonbon's spit inside the entire spherical area
sucks if my teammates have no good toughness regen, but I really need those +15 toughness nodes
yeah the toughness regen is nice but i dont feel like I make use of it often enough for it to matter
if it was 50% tdr during it it'd be op as shit but since it's only after 20s it's kinda meh
the main use case in my head for the toughness regen node would be during assassination finales and the chaos spawn
which are relatively niche and it becomes a map-dependent pick essentially
get that kinetic deflection money
I fucking love kinetic deflection
I tried it with update 14 and I haven’t looked back
i usually run anti-special builds, so i run the dome shield instead
Its saved my ass before
is this worth getting?
What do you normally run?
Dome regen is nice but it’s great saving teammates from bombers/muties with a well timed wall
put down rectangle and laff at the idiots running into it and getting staggered for easy headshot stabs
also clutch when you whack one down right in front of a flamer
the toughness regen on dome is great for helping people tank monstrous specialists
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1170104588729331772/image.png?ex=6557d3d1&is=65455ed1&hm=12c681eb65be1cf3b2de558c8b7362fc7818469d648fefe1525a55a4bfa81459& dropped kinetic to try this out but yeah i think it's more useful than final dome node
makes taking hits easy mode for them
yeah it sounds fun, how often do you place double rectangles? or is it situational
looks like bait
bait? like its trying to make me waste currency?
if you're playing mutant modifiers and meleeing them you probably are using both walls every time
defo but I assume most people end up able to manage their toughness without that extra help... still, it's nice to plop down.
I dunno man the toughness regen is not good enough to be worth it when Im running the kill and quell peril regen talents
For me
oh definitely i dont feel it unless i'm disabled by a mutie for ex
they dont have the kill toughness regen talent or the kill quell there
i always take the secondary points in both shields
good stats bad blessings/perks
yeah been doing fine like that
ah ok
and situational. obv nice to keep one in the pocket, but you gotta do what you gotta do
makes sense
guys be honest with me does fire frency exists on the game or is it a big prank you are pulling?
what does a sibling have to do to get it
what situations are the two charges of shield better than the dome? been thinking about using it, i've only ever used the dome but I'm realizing that the toughness regen isnt all that great for me
Do they stop mutants ?
They do
I see
Also dogs
It's hilarious watching them run into a wall. Makes me feel like I'm a Mime.
Running a kinetic res bb build works very well with 2 charges as well
oh now I did not even think about this
Neither did I, that's smart.
I run it with EP and can boss pretty well
EP BB my beloved
First shield for the big stonk damage, 2nd to clear it up if my team doesn't
im going to have to try that that sounds awesome
yee have fun, with it, I do the same for when dogs jump me like Medwin
ive been looking for a way to use bb over smite
block > splat > bb
Also, is the purple Assail new or has that been there since patch 13.
I think it has been there
Does that just mean it's a crit?
It's a crit assail
is purg staff good to run with bb ?
But also yes, I think it's been more noticeable now in this patch for some reason
Ye works well together
I really like the smite staff but it seems like it wouldn't fit great with brain burst
smite staff with warp flurry 
yeah surge staff is my current fave
just today I got an illisi with shred and executioner
using that for hordes feel so nice
I prefer slaughterer
Slaughterer seems great I just don't have it
melk just had a shred 3 sword today so I was able to get it
Calmy light attack into a crowd, very calm, very zen
like butter
imo assail is the best horde clear, surge for taking out heavies, elites, and specials, mk4 dueling sword for its nice movement and headshot. leaves you a little low on boss damage but not helpless
yes yes assail is strong we know
poke bosses to death with the dueling
Blow up crowd with trauma staff
Trauma staff was very fun I just seem to be bad at using it compared to others
yeah im loving the mk4. super nice pattern, H1 and insta special for double head poke is nice
what are some good blessings to look for for dueling swords?
Literally just summons a black iron cartoon bomb wherever you point it
Uncanny is a must, precog/riposte/rampage is up to you
Empowered brainbursts are fun
Saw an EP surge psyker blow up like 6 times. 💀
it does but only for far targets, or bosses if your melee sucks for unyielding
is 63% cloud radius like reallyyyyyyyyyyyy bad for purg or acceptable if everything else is good (including Blessings/Perks)
It's not the end of the world. Really depends on what it's being compared to
its pretty average but it wont make it useless. will still burn chokes pretty well
depends on if youre looking for a malice/heresy build or looking to push auric and trying to min max
head chopper
Now to get it on the other 3 staves
2 more pain to go
not sure about trauma/void
It will be very noice, Sibling
Replace barrage w/ faster cast
Now devastate
wish I had maniac instead of carapace but tis good enough xd
i cant outdamage vet 😭
Using what?
surge
duely skin looks cool
Jacked Sparrow weapon
Pirate dreams
You did out damage them, just not effective damage. They are running a hard hitter weapon mostly Boss/Orgyn killer.
Double tap. Just gotta make sure the things are dead.
I personally like deflector, comes in handy once in awhile
They just meleeing alot which means you as a team didn't create choke points, Void is insane if you Chokepoint mobs
jeez i wish you could upgrade your current perks/blessings without it counting as modification
Warp Resist > Mobility imo
😭
blessings should just be based off experience with a weapon type rather than this stupid rng system. when you start using x weapon you only have access to T1 blessings, eventually you unlock better until you have T4 and then you only get T4
At least they carry across toons, or if you recreate a toon
Early on Blessing (may of been a bug) only stayed on the toon it was learned on. Honestly this may of been in the beta I don't remember exactly when this was.
We didn't had crafting in beta
it wasn't there even after release
you could only consecrate weapon and pray on RNGesus
Anyone know what mod the dynamic charge gauge colors in that video are from?
If you learn Rampage on Catachan sword, you will have it on your vet. It makes things alot easier, except the class specific weapons those become a pita
Wish items would just share between characters
Eh it would just be to get one of the two blessings.....
simple answer. tencent wanting to push monetisation strategies across all their games
what should my 3 curios be looking like stat wise as a psyker?
what are you talking about?
p2drip
probably dynamic crosshair if you're talking about when the crosshair changes color when hovering over an enemy/ally/etc.
doesnt matter. the biggest FTP games like league of legends make tencent million of $ in MTX and its not p2w, just cosmetics
I run these
me af “JUST 1 MOAR BB”
Even there, the biggest PC games are pocket change compared to mobile Gacha
1 wound for a room for misplay, and shit ton of hp
stack wounds and max health on to pof the usual sniper/gunner resist then
just 1 wound, got it sir
you don't need shit ton of wounds unless you're zealot with specific build
gunners are good because of how game like to spam them
Yeah, 1 21% health and 2 17% toughness. The health is just to stop being wombo-comboed
You don't need further health if you get resists, and play well.
yeah the money some people drop on trash like diablo, honkai, etc is disgusting. people who drop thousands a year on some little epeen scoreboard must have some issues
gotcha
I don't see a reson to run toughness on psyker cuz' you regenerate it from pretty much anything you're doing
i'm feeling wonderful with 99 toughness
it's nice for being able to run into ranged patrols
It's not for regen, It's because stray hits and how it works on what bleeds over Flos.
I don't usually have problems with that
Because it was pretty boring tbh
and as long as you're not taking many consecutive hits in melee, toughness has some use in melee as well
personally encountered one of the people who spent like $250,000 on Immortal at launch, he was not fun to play against
I believe you take a chip health damage even when your toughness is up
dude was just steamrolling everything and his team couldn’t even help really, like how is that fun
One should, but I've had literal squad of shooters spawn around me when the director is being stupid af
It took like, 10 min to craft mt BiS weapon
yeah you take hp damage with <100% toughness
I've encountered that, good thing I run surge + smite
the people who fall for the ftp in a p2w game are just as much suckers as the ones spending the money though. like if there werent plebs to show off to they wouldnt spend that money
i'm not a fan of being at 0 toughness because ranged attacks stagger you even if you're not sprinting
Why would play a game like that.
having a toughness buffer is convenient for a brainless playstyle
yeah once I encountered massive paywalls like 2 weeks in, I realized it was a total scam
Would you Play Monopoly if you could only use real life money you have? How in the world do you expect to win vs a millionaire?
Ned Kelly his ass
I mean while we are at it, Let's Play street fighter league you have to play 500 people 3 times, each time you do a special move it is 10 dollars, and 100 dollars for a super/ultra. Do you think you can even play all 1500 matches.....
No Haduken wars for you.
what's the best melee weapon for psyker right now? i've got plenty of clear with surge staff so was looking for single target like
the rashad, is it better than the antax?
Cheat horribly.
whats best melee thats not duellign sword
Demios
Just got this off Melk, seemed pretty good for a crit trauma but was wondering what should I replace or upgrade?
so what do i even do for my talents for a gun psyker build?
i don't get playing a psyker with a gun (as main weapon), I mean I can see a Revovler and Gaze meleeing the most of the time with the revovler to pop-shot specials like trappers/flamers.
Ranged crit hit damage is weak, and warp flurry upgrade it to 4 if you have it. The blast radius is bad on that although.
Abusing crits with laspistol is fun
That's not unique although to a Psycher.
Nothing beats sprinting at 20 gunners full pelt and there's nothing they can do because laspistol keeps empathic evasion up indefinitely
Pew Pew Pew
If you get close they just switch to melee.... so sprinting towards them seems pointless
.......
In that regard also the Vet Nade smoker spec and just make them run away as they will not shoot at you if you stand in the smoke they just run around looking for a different angle or cover. In addition the vet's Crit chance is much higher.
Zzzzzz
That would be the point
If you are melee build it could be but if you are going to shoot them, it's a matter of why, if you are "Sprinting" you can't be shooting.
is fun
Moving at 160% movement speed might as well be sprinting
i sure love "why don't you just play X class" statements
They sure are great
this worth trying to upgrade?
I'm not asking why don't you play, I'm beyond why than just fun. Why is it only fun as a psycher and not as a momentum zealot, or a smoker vet etc.
well I don't know why it's only fun on psyker
Cause I like to play psyker and saying "just play another class for that" is boring
but I know it's fun on psyker
i don't know if it's fun on other classes or not, so I can't say
this looks like a good melk pickup ya? what perks /blessings should a voidstaff go for?
If the class plays the same, it isn't the class or the playstyle. It could be atheistical choice, lore choice, roleplay choice, or just being a single char Andy as Arcotash (I got 900+ hours across all 4 classes)
meta is surge + crit blessing. but a transfer peril + crit or the transfer peril is also very good
its a solid staff
I have no clue on level beyond 30 I don't use that addon it tell me nothing but how long someone played not if they learned or tried to improve etc.
i'm just using levels instead of hours because I leave the game on often
i have somewhere in the ballpark of 2k hours but only ~1000 hours in missions
Completed missions may be better.
warpflurry is gud too
completed missions and levels are somewhat proportional
they're related metrics and I immediately know my true levels rather than the # of completed missions I've done
so that's why I'm using true levels
Damnation only 195 Vet, 166 zealot, 163 Psyker, 206 Orgyn.
and absolute values aside, I have roughly 270/1270 of my time on vet and 1000/1270 of my time on psyker
as a response to me being a single-character andy, I believe the metric I used is fairly valid in general conversation
I rerolled every one of my classes about half way through as I was bored.
(Halfway meaning about halfway through 1.0->2.0 not leveling wise)
I don't see a metric for account-wide mission completion on darkti.de and I'm too lazy to pop the numbers for individual characters into a spreadsheet
so you'll just have to make do with the relative values of the true levels I gave
A friend of mine is trying to do the malleus monstronum but bots are doing dmg to the bosses
Can someone help US?
Sure if you're willing to help me do the same afterwards
does Assail count for the "kill X with Ranged" contract or naur?
Did you think the bots wouldn’t damage the monster?
Need a full team
Also for cheese, grab an shield Ogryn and BB a Daemonhost
Easiest way I found
700 hours brain burst andy
or you down the bots and don't rez them
Silent busters repeatedly decided that I had to go. And I went.
Okay!
I got My ogryn with shield
My friend code in Fatshark is: 9155357114
Does anyone have a link for the bubble build? I'm not sure what it's called and Google isn't yielding the results I'm looking for.
Do you still need another to rid of bots?
It’s the middle tree, right branch silly billy
is there a mod or setting im missing to stop my eardrums from exploding everytime i hit 97 peril
turn down your volume lol
Anyone else wanna help us?
I'm sure there's a mod somewhere tho
Yes we need one more please join
Need the code to join/inv then
My friend code in Fatshark is: 9155357114
what are the best perks for purgatus? Flank and manic? Some people have told me that 5% crit is the only important thing
thank god
crit and uhhh idk
maniac is never a bad damage type to get
but crit is must have for purg
Crit and Flak (Flak is one of the most common types)
Why?
purgs whole schtick is crit, since crits apply warpfire or whatever its called
It causes more stacks to be applied
and if you have the talent, enemies that die with warpfire spread it to other enemies
yea this one
So, like, what to do here?
uhh
Yeah that a rough roll.
for now i'd replace flak with crit chance and slap on flurry i suppose
Terrifying is terrible
You want Damage roll to be the lowest (it's the dump stat, Burn and Cloud are the ideal) Warp Nexus>Crit>Flak=WarpFlurry
Hunt slowly for something like this,
Carapace only affects Crushers.
also iirc doesnt give you any noteworthy BPs
If you can't make a breakpoint for Maniac, then you go Unyeilding, or into a trash slayer damage.
Watch melks I get most of T4 from him rather slowly
dont need carapace with rending anyhow
Farmin my weeklies rn, almost wanna make a new character just to have an extra for farmin
also funny how melk is only good for perks
heck
all his weapons really suck
1
Give it 3 years, fatshark will let us exchange plasteel from diamantene at a 1:1000 ratio
why rending and not blazing or flurry in stead of nexus?
actually kinda true. would run flurry with rending instead of nexus
Soon the skins they will need your address to send you a Slaanesh purple thong to wear while playing Darktide.
You need two sets of skins so you have a nice pair of sandals for the beach.
I’ll wear it if it’s pre-worn
honestly wondering if there’s a reason for it
Has to be by Slaanesh herself tho
im telling rannick
Rannick isn’t hot enough
Weird but not a sin
when tech-adept class is added i want hadron to sweet talk me in binary
i want her to step on my servo-nuts
What
You wanna get deep in those motors?
Tighten some screws and grease some gears?
Have a quick data interrogation in the space closet?
Give her a good scanning with the auspex?

I’d give her some percussive maintenance in the nethers
im gonna stick that servo-skull where the sun don't shine
Gonna amplify her Omnissiah prayers?
Sitting here like
gonna cover ourselves in holy oil and incense and start maintenance
Gonna give her a blessing of shattering impact?
speedload
my thunderhammer's shattering impact will send a rending shockwave as it lays down pinning fire
She can have my Speedload
Weird but acceptable
hacker
I need hadrons ritual lubrication
lol
I was streaming for a friend and he asked what the cool skull things are that I’m putting on the computers
I said… “Well. They’re blessed AI designed to interrogate the spirits of the machines and exorcise the corrupting spirits”
AI?? Nuh uh
AI artificial inteligence, which means it's fake intelligence so around 75% of humanity basically.
Fair
do you still need toughness regen if you're running dome build?
I go resist on curio and just spam the perk to build it like tomorrow.
how useful is toughness regen? i used to play zealot where we roll away toughness regen from curios 😄
btw Dueling sword Mk5 is like a teleporter for dodging
It’s incredibly valuable for Psykers especially
Zealots naturally regen toughness a fair bit due to skills
I’d argue they’re the strongest natural melee class
Zealot also regen their health alot too
what perks should i roll for with the staff and meele?
Only clas that can regen health in any form
so for curios 2 toughness + wound curios and then perks are toughness, toughness regen, and what? resist or hp? or block?
Wounds is only used till you know how to dance
Once you know how to dance 21% health to stop wombo combos
i get stealth bonked by crushers or maulers so i run the extra wound just in case 😄
What staff?
What Melee?
illisi force sword
Dodge to the left or right if not using a mk5 dueling sword
The best one
THeir big bonk is overhead
Riposte and Blazing soul is fun
You can also stunlock them with a Demios
What should I change on this dueling sword?
Void to kill surge to stun depends on group if you run to a Bulwark orgyn your damage may get too low for surge
Shred, Uncanny, Rampage 4 Uncanny probably being the best.
alright thanks
by God it's beautiful
I know I can't believe it lmao
I don't want to mess it up
i run riposte uncanny
swap one of the blessings for uncanny
I think that’s preference
which one you decide
Riposte is better than Pregognition right?
i pref riposte but that is with my CRIT FOCUSED build
since more crits
then I think you want unyielding for monsto dam
idk if riposte works with dodge talent on crit for shooters. Need to test that
true lmao big BOSS damage
both are good
finesse damage is increased weakspot and crit damage
I never take unyielding
oh snap
yeah I can't decide lmao
do you run staff or gun?
you have two routes
either lean into the big dodge memer and get riposte 4 and 25% carapace
or go uncanny 4 + your choice of other blessing and live with the 20% carapace (which is fine)
staff most of the time nowadays
uncanny is must
I got one thing left to swap.
uncanny unless you use hand cannon 4
Yeah that's why I can't decide which to strip off for uncanny lol
they're both goos
I guess I'll just keep the T4 one, yeah?
wait wat
You can deal .5 damage?
might as well just stab people in the face
Im gonna buy uncanny 3 from melk today i think, no guarantee i ever see 4
go for the double t4
I have too many blessings i want to farm
This is what I currently have.
riposte is what I run but at tier 4
yeah I rolled a t4 perk might as well keep it
and I guess I could roll carapace 4?
I don't have any blessings for any staff its infuriating
for stabbing people in the face?
so whats the best deimos perk and weapon set up?
Honestly i still rate flak over carapace
deflector, shred with cara and unyeilding?
i like carapace 4 but flak 4 let's u 1shot rages with less buffs running
true
no idea, I have one thing left on mine I can switch.
and jw but can u use brain rupture to complete the malleus monstronus penance?
Here we go lads!
yeeeee
I'll try out +Carapace later
since I usually just use the SHOCK STAFF on carapace lol
but Carpace looks funny with it
thanks for the help guys!
i gotta decide between riposte and precog
i think precog is better for how i play
also apparently i earned a gift with uncanny 3 so i wasted 2300 melk points
axes aren't great, but aren't these decent? the blessings if anything
Precog technically has more boss dps
take both and empathetic evasion
every time you crit you count as dodging
They both proc off dodging a mutant, so riposte might let you oneshot a mutant from behind if you don't manage to stab it's head
Headtaker and brumo are decent
+power blessings are OP because power effects stuff like your nades damage
Caxes are high crit rate with single target damage
But psyker really isn't lacking for any single target melee weapon
Deimos and duelling4 already oneshot almost all specials and elites, so tacxes are just in a weird place
maybe it should be a more crit-heavy cleave weapon, idk
hope it comes into its own
literally only time i actually ran tacaxes was in the beta
it kind of CAN be one with brumo
but the moveset is so bad for new brumo
so its cancelled
with old brumo it was still a good option
rolled this, what should i change, really new to psyker
so am i just bad or is the non purgatus staff lmb innacurate when spammed
anyone have advice on best force sword for a new psyker?
melk wants mme to sin
Shred to Uncanny
Wot, nah he needs uncanny
The first one you’ll have access to is obscurus, but down the line either Deimos or illisi whether you want single target or crowd control
force greatsword cannot come soon enough bros
big swipes, force poke, the works
I want my force halberd
I'll even take a human sized doomfist
Not huge hopes for the latter
But I want it anyway
crazy nice
I think we're gonna have to turn to mods for that. There's no way a varlet would be issued that sort of wargear, right?
Personally depends on the staff. If you use a voidstrike, I recommend Illisi. Surge or purgatus, deimos. I also choose smite/assail/BR based on the rest to balance CC and single target
My personal belief is the best psyker build balances single target, cc and support
I mean zealots get thunderhammers, that doesn’t seem very viable considering the lore
I've also found I need to lean on force sword with deflector when running purgatus, in case no one else on the team is handling shooters
It depends
Or I could just start running assail with purgatus. But that kinetic flayer proc is just so satisfying
ye, deflector is clutch
I just need to remember that it cant block snipers or crushers 😭
A team of specialists filling different roles is best case scenario, but that ain’t happening in pubs
ye
Crit Laspistol/dueling saber kills hard enough that it doesn't need cc or support, cause everything is already dead
So generalist psyker builds are the most consistent
i run BR on a weakspot void crit build
with shield n all
10/10
Man people need to live a little and get some speed in their life
OGRYN GET POWER FIST
Nah nah, doomfist is a psyker thing
is there a build that maximizes voidstrike damage and ignoring everything else?
Granted it's a gray knight psyker thing, but a psyker thing nonetheless
i dont know if its an already established weapon but i would love to see a censer/flail style weapon for psyker
.....well technically it's a grayknight dreadnaught psyker thing.
But let's not get into the details
any build guides anywhere?
For what
.
Oh that
Dunno, I've stayed away from void since it became "meta" especially since the absurd damage buff it got really nerfed blazing spirit void.
Maybe when something else gets the spotlight I'll go back to it
I could be mistaken, but I think voidstrike got a sizeable nerf in one of the recent patches
It's a barely noticeable nerf
ok then whats the build for purgatus
Doesn't it charge slower too now?
a fairly minor nerf
what rolls am i looking for in the deimos sword?
if the scaling is still from 1.9s to 1.6s, then it's the same
Well I cant give you a purgatos nerf but I can give you a laspistol build
as far as I can tell, the perception that voidstrike was majorly nerfed is just pure placebo
a -12.8% damage reduction and carapace ADM from 100% to 75%
i've had this chainsword for a bit, and it's pretty reliable. but is there anything i should change on it?
perks?
I need to start rolling chainswords at some point after I find a bunch of other stuff.........it's kinda been a sideline weapon on psyker for like.....forever
yea
What is the chainsword actually good at @spice veldt ?
dueling sword + force sword take the most stuff
Leaves you with 2 rando points to use.
what kinda build you goin for?
yes he does u right
i don't know the specifics, but I do personally know that it offers boss damage that doesn't on hitting weakspots which is convenient
tbh going thru with brain burst may be good if kinetic flayer procs with surge ticks
unsure for surge tho
thoughts?
barrage isn't that worthwhile iirc
pre good, id change terrifying barrage
yup
any suggestion?
warp flurry and the crit changce to maniac?
also, what sthe "dump" stat for voidstrike>?
surge is a good blessing for a crit build
tbh id keep it but yea
It's so close to greatness, but I'd call it bunk at that dmg% yeah :/
Id use that one tbh
the blessings could use work tho
namely blazing
idk much abt it but never use it
Blazing spirit definitely could use swapped out. Honestly I say always nexus / surge
flurry/nexus/surge are my go to ye
the crit and damage buff is pre good tho
tho id change crit damage to chance
im burning the creds i got to try rolling a good base and then compare them
Nexus for sure
thats a good base tbh, minus the blast
personally i think charge rate is the dump stat because blast radius works well with flayer
got 3 more base ones that look on after deleting all the sludge
\
hoping the 375 turns out good
Omnissiah smile upon this varlet
Uhhh...I don't think either of those blessings are great. If you're happy with the perks it's no issue tho
blessings bad but perks good
I finally got rending shockwave we are so back
use this as long as the surge staff bug persists, switch to warp charges build once the bug is fixed
surge staff bug: empowered psionics buff surge staff damage by 125% without consuming charges
yea tbh once charge rate is >=50% its fine
but damage, warp res and quell speed are what i run to
Surge bug aside, I've actually really enjoyed the new Smite with EP for waveclear
will 67 quell speed be ok?>
i think i'd still prefer warp charges
mart
smart*
but holy fuck nice roll
steal it from him
im gonna put tier 3 blessings on this one i got
and save up for a TRUE worthy contender for tier 4 blessings
oh eat me, i dont wanna burn tier 4 on the one i got
or wait......can i keep using them after i get a tier 4?
Yeah dude you have them forever after you earn the blessing
You only have to earn a blessing once
yea
ah
infinite usage
then what i said makes no fucking sense
Your line of thinking was perfectly reasonable, but yeah happy suprise!
For AoE and crowd control, would trauma staff be good?
ye
the purg staff can stagger tiny things, but a lot of them
compared to what i was used to, 67 is FINE it drops so quick
thanks, though i think that pic only shows 29 points allocated, oddly
i just took psychic leeching
You can free up 4 points by just taking the first EP node, dropping the smite buffs, and never using smite
The quell speed node is pretty important for any surge build
whats the point in never using your blitz
i find smite effective and i use it
which is why i made that build like it is
there are 30 points allocated, you likely missed the 5% ranged damage node i picked here
any psyker build that makes you not use your blitz is basically pointless IMO
just go vet or zealot if you're gonna go that way
thats like playing a naked space marine
The surge bug is so incredibly overpowered that it doesn't make sense to use much else
oh i'm dumb, i had only one of the smite upgrades
only against one or two targets at a time
sometimes you just need to make a horde freeze
and besides
why build around only one trick
is she perfect?
no. she is not
BUT she should carry me just fine while i hunt for the t4 blessings i need and potentially roll a slighty better base
mate
that is perfect once you get t4 nexus and surge, or whatever other blessings you want
perks are what you want, distribution is basically perfect too
and whats even better
you won't need multiple staffs
because your swaps are all in blessings
shoots 2 shots on a crit (both shots crit)
it is very neat except for one major frustration
?
you lose warp flurry
ye
is voidstrike the only staff that can get surge?
and thus the charge time is slow
true
trauma can too but it doesnt work on charge fire
only on the dinky lil primary fire
It hits 3 targets. Venting Shriek/Perilous Combustion covers the horde, and it's always up because the bugged staff

it only hits 3 with the extra smite target upgrade, and deals like 30 damage to the third target, won't kill a fly
man,this hurting my head. that double on crit dounds NICE, but 24% charge speed can really put dmg down range
Like if you are going to abuse the bug, actually make the most of it
sure lad
you do that
and i'll do my thing
i found smite super effective in auric maelstrom and i'm not gonna just not use it
true followers of the emrah' dont abuse bugs. the emerors power will suffice
the bug is the will of the emperor
HERESY
why do you think emprah is making the most out of the great rift
The bug trivializes the game. It was fun for like 2 games then I stopped using it
I had to make a seperate build specifically to avoid the bug because I wanted it fair like the emp'rah intended
Not arguing that. It's just the bugged Surge is so broken that smite becomes pointless.
welp, psyker lvl 30 now. time to swap my 30% xp curios to 30% currency
i just didnt find that true especially when you need to deal with a massive horde
and just using a horde clear like illisi wasn't cutting it
I just started using smite more, is it suppose to stop you from blowing yourself up?
no coincidence a massive scar opens in the fabric of reality and two primarchs suddenly return kek
yeah
Is it just me or brainburst without having a full build feels pretty dissapointing?
