if shocktrooper actually work on autogun too that would been nice

#

YEAHHH

#

mk3 ?

wary sleet
#

yeah

left turtle
#

alot of people, me included think stormtrooper should affect all their guns, its stupid to be exclusive

#

especially when theres no autogun exclusive buffs to balance it out

wary sleet
#

its not a perfect helbore 3 but im happy with it

severe folio
wary sleet
#

sometimes i do go back to the good ol kantreal 12 if i need to give my finger a break from holding down charge so much

severe folio
#

is the world of Crucis russia ?

#

theres a perk called crucian roulette

hearty sedge
#

Important Fashontide poll. Which psyker would you think could carry harder?

left turtle
#

"Knife"
"carry"
pick one

severe folio
#

knife

hearty sedge
#

Knife was for zoomy speedrun stuff. I do have a proper force sword.

severe folio
#

krieg psyker

honest robin
#

i want to make a decent staff but i think i spent too much making kickbacks and clubs...

severe folio
#

what is kickback

honest robin
#

oggy shotgun

severe folio
#

oh

left turtle
#

giant fuck off shotgun that the ogryn starts with

#

patch 14 turned it into a MONSTER

honest robin
#

not to talk about non psyker stuff but i killed a sniper from 70 meters away with one

severe folio
#

well gues you have to spam a few damnation with that

#

to get some resource for psykers

left turtle
#

seriously the lethal range on the kickback now is stupid

honest robin
#

yeah... but i wanna play psyker and i cant spam damnations without a decent staff

severe folio
#

dont spam damnation with it then

honest robin
#

im trying out a smite build

severe folio
#

spam it with the kickback you invested in lol

#

what did you build the kickback up for'

honest robin
#

psyker is my only class that's not damnation-ready

#

i just wanna play it

severe folio
#

well

#

you gonna have to stall that for a while

frank zealot
#

I have a weird-ass melee build I bring into damnation that uses the mkiv saber and scrier's gaze

severe folio
#

because you need resources

hearty sedge
severe folio
#

and for resources you need damnation ready

honest robin
#

3k plasteel might be enough if hadron doesnt hate me

#

300k should get a few staffs worth bricking

severe folio
#

3k plasteel
hadron dont hate you

pick one

honest robin
#

alright brunt fuck me up

severe folio
#

i think you should use the kickback until you get more resources

honest robin
#

2 really good ones and 3 decent ones... that's mildly bad i think

severe folio
#

what do they look like

honest robin
#

actually this spread is not super impressive but its not bad

severe folio
#

the damage

honest robin
#

the other one has a worse damage roll wtf

#

brunt you bastard

#

this is the only one with decent rolls

severe folio
#

would say charge rate looks terrible

honest robin
#

charge rate is not a giant range

severe folio
#

warp resistence unnecessary

#

actaully, depend on your ability maybe the warp resistance isnt so bad

robust sierra
#

you guys think I should pick this up from melk's or nah

honest robin
#

brunt stole all my damn money on this one

proven stirrup
#

Imagine caring that much about charge rate when warp flurry exists

severe folio
#

why would you use warp flurry

hoary leaf
#

really wish I could buy Plasteel with Diamantine

honest robin
#

i dream of a day where we get a diamantine spend

proven stirrup
#

Because you can. Especially when your charge rate rolls low(er)

hoary leaf
#

im at like 12k its so useless after a certain point while Plasteel is much more valuable

proven stirrup
#

It's not as if surge just doesn't work by itself

severe folio
#

so you lose out on a blessing slot to compensate for your charge rate

#

wouldnt you want something like warp nexus

#

or transfer peril

proven stirrup
#

??? you can of course use those too

severe folio
#

you wont if you have to put in surge

#

and warp flurry

honest robin
#

not good!

#

playable though

proven stirrup
#

I was just cracking a joke about it not being the only option. it's not that deep

severe folio
proven stirrup
#

I'm not about to try and change anyone's mind about the voidstrike meta

severe folio
#

fuk the meta

#

this is about the voidstrike staff in itself

proven stirrup
#

I will reinforce that metaslaving is boring as shit

honest robin
#

i dont have voidstrike blessings prepped lol i was hoping to make a base

severe folio
#

what else is it really going to use

honest robin
#

i dont need an optimal one even to play damnation

proven stirrup
#

This entire conversation is a subjective take.

#

You wanting to use warp nexus or transfer is perfectly valid

#

as is the use of warp flurry

#

That's all there is to it

severe folio
#

idk

honest robin
#

one day melk will sell me a blessing i want

severe folio
#

warp flurry just feel kind of useless

honest robin
#

i dont think i've even seen a staff in his shop for a week

severe folio
#

like, run and gun useless

spice veldt
#

I like my meta stuff

proven stirrup
#

We're all aware of subjectivity in gaming

#

Lets not go down that pointless road

spice veldt
#

I don't trust people who don't qualify their statements

severe folio
#

what does qualify your statements mean

proven stirrup
#

Good thing I'm not asking you to trust me

honest robin
#

the concept of something being boring is inherently subjective

#

i dont think you need to point it out

spice veldt
#

subjectivity is implied, but it helps to put markers in your statements to indicate it

proven stirrup
#

Because I don't really care what anyone thinks about my personal unwillingness to staple my enjoyment to one specific combination of things

long wharf
#

if someone is asking for advice, the reasonable assumption is they're trying to optimize for meta-level performance

#

otherwise, there's no reason to ask for advice in the first place

shell igloo
#

Hey, does anyone know the ballpark of how much % bonus warp damage you can get just from the talent tree? I'm thinking it's probably like...30%?

honest robin
#

honestly i just wanted people to be there while brunt ruined my life

left turtle
#

cause sometimes i ask about whats good on a weapon that isnt meta, and people will say "why use that, use [insert meta weapon here]"

#

and thats really fucking annoying when people do that

spice veldt
severe folio
#

oh

proven stirrup
#

The fact that I have to do that with everything I say is pretty asinine, but fine.

spice veldt
#

because there have been a few people that have come here ranting about people running certain builds or wanting them to avoid using certain weapons

proven stirrup
#

Which I did not do even once

spice veldt
#

but I don't know you

proven stirrup
#

I'm not doing this

spice veldt
#

so that's the default attitude that I will taje

#

sure

proven stirrup
#

I will preface the obvious just for you, fam

#

Lets move on

severe folio
#

i mean technically he's the one who suggest warp flurry for voidstrike

#

because it has low charge rate

#

so hes not the one that gatekeeping people from using certain weapons

left turtle
#

what even started this arguement

severe folio
#

but rather the one that try to salvage it

bleak tulip
#

someone said meta boring

proven stirrup
#

Doesn't matter, the arguement is over

bleak tulip
#

I think

severe folio
#

well

#

initially its whether you want warp flurry on your voidstrike

#

if it has too low charge rate

long wharf
#

I would argue there are only two Good blessing combinations for void staff currently

left turtle
#

Meta is boring but if someone wants optimization then answer the question

severe folio
#

or you better off just get a new voidstrike

long wharf
#

surge+nexus and transfer peril+flurry

old citrus
#

Does an Illisi with blazing spirit/bloodthirsty seem like a meme or actually a fun/decent thing to do?

severe folio
old citrus
bleak tulip
#

its fun

clear heath
#

meme tier

bleak tulip
#

not optimal at all

#

but funny

long wharf
#

it's a pale shadow of a former glory

#

only the first enemy you hit gets that guaranteed crit from bloodthirsty

old citrus
#

Wait really

long wharf
#

yep

old citrus
#

that fucking blows yikes

clear heath
#

Is it not for the entire first swing?
I thought crits were on a per-swing basis

severe folio
#

interesting

old citrus
long wharf
#

which is why the original implementation of Bloodthirsty was far superior - guaranteed crits for 5s

#

someone in here said they tested and only the first enemy hit was getting the crit

proven stirrup
#

That honestly sounds like a bug lmao

long wharf
#

I don't remember who, though

clear heath
#

i guess i could test

#

maybe they meant first swing and not first hit?

#

but i'll check if i have a bloodthirsty sword

long wharf
#

that's possible

#

I have a bloodthirsty, I can slap blazing spirit on it

old citrus
#

Well if thats meme tier whats actually Illisi BIS. I assume slaughterer and what, deflector? (executor if you take shield)?

long wharf
#

I prefer slaughterer + deflector

fierce crest
#

im p sure ive also seen ppl test bloodthrists and its one crit

clear heath
#

I do unstable + deflector cause i don't melee as much these days

long wharf
#

I use Illisi with Surge staff

clear heath
#

a lot of the time i just pull it out for a sec against mutants

old citrus
long wharf
#

yeah, I'm seeing full swing too

#

still not great

#

and Bloodthirsty itself has a 5s activation window

#

so you can't queue it up and hold onto the charge

long wharf
clear heath
#

i like the peril stroke

long wharf
#

I'm sure you do

#

you've made it very clear how much you love to stroke your peril up

old citrus
bleak tulip
#

stroke my peril till I burst

old citrus
#

Stop falling over, its the auric malestrom for gods sake kittyscrem

fresh reef
atomic zephyr
#

pretty kills everything already in the grinder, anything recommended to switch?

long wharf
#

I'd roll weak spot damage to crit chance

#

upgrade Uncanny Strike when you can

atomic zephyr
#

i do agree with uncanny,

#

the melee weak spot, i feel like its somewhat optimal?

old citrus
#

would you want riposte and precog? or is that overkill

long wharf
#

now this is a cool force sword

cinder moon
#

ok he-man

long wharf
#

right?

old citrus
#

for the honor of the emprah thumbsup_ogryn

long wharf
#

almost got a he-man-meets-thundercats thing going

#

I wanted to get a longer grip, but the game doesn't have any

cinder moon
#

lol yeah, there's some sword of omens there too

long wharf
#

at least not that the weapon customization mod allows

cinder moon
#

give me sight beyond sight!

#

shit, doesn't one of the psykers say that?

old citrus
long wharf
#

Uncanny Strike is considered mandatory on all dueling swords

old citrus
#

Mandatory eh?

long wharf
#

unless you don't care about optimizing your performance

shell igloo
#

I got bored and homebrewed a new artillery-style force staff. Do you think this staff could fit in the current lineup??

long wharf
#

sure, we could use a staff of big boom

chrome linden
#

looking promising

glossy hazel
#

This slaps pretty hard on a soulblaze build

long wharf
#

I christen this the Force Glaive

atomic zephyr
#

i already have a riposte uncanny

#

im trying precog with the uncanny

shell igloo
glossy hazel
clear heath
glossy hazel
#

A mix between trauma and voidstrike it'd be

clear heath
#

haven't tried it myself though

clear heath
#

oh

long wharf
#

the combinations have to be manually allowed in the config file for the mod

#

it's all very hardcoded

glossy hazel
#

They really need to start pumping out new weapons

old citrus
#

is surge staff still bugged?

glossy hazel
#

Especially staves

clear heath
#

what new staves do we want?

old citrus
#

or did the hotfix correct that

glossy hazel
#

Fireball, Beam, AoE DoT are ones for starters

proven stirrup
#

I would indeed like a pergatus bolt staff

old citrus
#

a beam anything would be fantastic

#

still waiting on melta

proven stirrup
#

Not sure an aoe dot staff would be different enough from the purgatus thrower though

glossy hazel
#

All the Sieanna staves from VT2 can be copy pasted to Darktide

glossy hazel
proven stirrup
#

Yeah there's a lot of overlap they could dip into

glossy hazel
#

Much more flexible

chrome linden
#

took a little work......and all my resources, but i got this now

proven stirrup
#

Oh you mean a persistent area dot not a dot application

#

ok that makes much more sense

#

Like little mini flame grenade zones

glossy hazel
#

Yea, like the firestorm staff or what's it called in VT2

proven stirrup
#

Yeah that'd be sick

clear heath
#

coruscation staff

glossy hazel
#

That one

#

Fatshark is dropping the ball hard again, all these new players and they are most likely seen everything the game has to offer by now

proven stirrup
#

Girl, it takes time to develop content

glossy hazel
#

Theres a shitload of unreleased stuff in the files

proven stirrup
#

Yeah cuz they had to fix everything around it for a while

#

The unreleased stuff is poised for updates, that's why it's there at all

chrome linden
#

they did ALL of this with vermintide AND vermintide 2. it may take a coupe years, but i gurantee itll be a great game when they polish it

proven stirrup
#

I'll be the first one to call them hacks, but I'm also willing to let them hack in peace

#

at least they're trying

long wharf
#

give me a two-handed force glaive melee weapon please

proven stirrup
#

Same

#

hard +1

sturdy dagger
#

give ogryn any 2 handed melee im begging

#

even if its just the crushers rebar hammer

clear heath
#

what psyker weapons can we expect to see in the future? Idk warhammer lore

long wharf
#

almost makes me upset that the staff melee special doesn't do good damage

glossy hazel
proven stirrup
#

I'm shocked they don't have one but also I feel like it'd be thematically overpowered

severe folio
#

fukin idiot orgyn blocking firing line AND get lost

#

i swear every orgyn player reflect their own IQ

glossy hazel
#

There is a two handed force sword in the files for starters

proven stirrup
#

Augh it's beautiful

shell igloo
proven stirrup
#

This just means we'll get it eventually

#

There's no reason to put assets in the game ahead of them existing if there's no intention for them to eventually exist

glossy hazel
#

You don't know the half of it

#

There is stuff in there since release that is yet to be released

proven stirrup
#

Yeah I full expect this is just them trying to set up cleaner updates for the future.

glossy hazel
proven stirrup
#

Again, we need to consider how scuffed everything was at launch. This doesn't excuse things but it does explain why the actual content rollout has been so unimpressive.

#

Having to divert so much of their energy to baseline shit for so long sorta screwed the whole cadence up

shell igloo
proven stirrup
#

And as we know, they're historically bad at this sorta thing

#

but they DO eventually get there.

long wharf
#

oh man, now I'm almost tempted to see just how high I can get the damage on staff melee...

proven stirrup
#

LMAO

glossy hazel
#

They didn't even release the full amount of stuff on release that they promised, it took a few months for them to actually put out the amount of weapons that they cited in the description for release.

long wharf
#

go scrier's gaze + warp charges

proven stirrup
#

They did buff that didn't they

dense bramble
# long wharf

Bro a force spear bro. You trying to get me hard dude?

long wharf
#

too late, amirite?

old citrus
#

does the deimos still out perform the illisi in the current patch?

glossy hazel
#

Both serve different roles

#

Deimos is competing with Dueling Swords

long wharf
#

oof, wife aggro

#

night, siblings

dense bramble
old citrus
shell igloo
dense bramble
glossy hazel
dense bramble
#

The stabs are super good but you gotta chain properly

spice veldt
#

the number that you see on the stat card only remarks on the damage value of the first attack of the respective light/heavy combo

shell igloo
spice veldt
#

which becomes very uninformative when different attacks have different stats

#

hmm I don't know anymore, since they tweaked the deimos/obscurus special and I'm pretty sure the illisi's as well

#

at least in terms of use-case, you do want to spam the illisi's special if you can afford the peril and space

severe folio
#

i hate grimoire picker in damnation

dense bramble
spice veldt
#

use the illisi like the psword, in essence

severe folio
#

fukin idiots

glossy hazel
shell igloo
spice veldt
#

ye, it's essentially the same as the psword special

shell igloo
#

That's great to know

spice veldt
#

they have different armour damage modifiers nowadays though I believe

cosmic cedar
#

What needs done to make this work? Should I just upgrade warp nexus to a higher tier and replace unarmoured with maniacs? Or should it be flak?

spice veldt
old citrus
#

Wonder why they applied such heavy slowdown to powersword activation when you can basically sprint while activating the force sword

spice veldt
#

tbf psword's current design makes it lean very heavily on its activation

clear heath
#

it's a sign that they're based

shell igloo
spice veldt
#

illisi's special doesn't have as much offense currently and doesn't have the pcycler blessing among other things, but you don't have weights in your boots

#

i do like the differentiation in design, so there's that

glossy hazel
cosmic cedar
old citrus
#

i remember those days

#

cutting entire rooms in half

glossy hazel
#

Basically yea, best ranged AND melee

spice veldt
#

the days of 3 activations by default and infinite cleave

clear heath
#

power sword got buffed this patch and it feels insane

spice veldt
#

god bless america

glossy hazel
#

Power Sword is in a good spot now

#

Not blatantly OP but very strong in what it does

clear heath
#

like obv not as good as it was back when you could swing 7 times

#

but it feels very strong

spice veldt
#

having very good hordeclear (including against bruisers esp with brutal momentum) and being able to dink down maulers/crushers

reef apex
#

Guys i need a good assail build, do you have any?

old citrus
warped kernel
#

what do we think of ideal builds/blessing pair for bloodthirsty illisi though?

lunar hollow
#

now u do

warped kernel
#

interested in a melee psyker build with bloodthirsty at the forefront

old citrus
lunar hollow
#

so its main upsides are:
shitting on bruisers
good single target
good activated stagger

warped kernel
#

lol

#

i'm gonna log on and see what i can do

#

and what works

lunar hollow
#

instead of its main upsides being:
one of a handful of the good weapons in the game

spice veldt
#

the dclaw is real

spice veldt
glossy hazel
#

DClaw is clutch, parrying ANY melee attack for free is huge

lunar hollow
old citrus
#

parrying monstros is insane

cosmic cedar
glossy hazel
#

Watching ragers suicide themselves by ballerina dancing on you as their head flies off will never get old

lunar hollow
#

and now the meta psword loadout is more dependent on hitting heads and whatnot

#

for brutal momentum/push attack l4 combo

#

instead of like, not caring in the slightest and all u really had to do was swing in the general direction of a bad guy

# reef apex wich ones better?

depends on if you what you want to do. For me it varies on if I want to use a FS with deflector or not. Because then shield feels redundant.

hoary leaf

Feel thatz a choice on your part

cosmic cedar
#

Can I use brain rupture instead of brain burst for the monstronum penance?

i use shield

Who be posting Darktide Youtuber Template Face thumbnails??!

Uhh, I think that was me. Is that a no-no? It just automatically embedded with the link

exactly

cosmic cedar

Would really appreciate help with monstronum if 2 more are down for it, gonna check the lfg tab to see if I can find +2. I have a lvl 30 shield ogryn I could help with afterwards too.

hoary leaf
#

nice I would ask for help getting mine then as well

#

might have just crashed

old citrus
#

what do i do with this thing? Powderburn and idk crit hit dmg to like maniac i guess?

pale matrix
#

is assail still the best blitz? Also did void get nerfed and if so what's the best staff rn?

shell igloo
pale matrix
spice veldt
#

void got a -12.8% damage reduction, and had its armour damage modifier against carapace lowered from 100% to 75%

old citrus
spice veldt
#

The base damage of Assail's LMB was reduced from 250 to 200

#

its ADMs are the same as far as I can tell, though I didn't really test it extensively

#

probably still 75% against Flak, which is still fine

shell igloo
spice veldt
#

it still has the ammo economy to be spammed so go ham with it

pale matrix
spice veldt
#

i don't really use staffs so I have no idea

#

but the nerf to void seems pretty minor to me

#

from 765 base damage to 675

#

or -12.8% damage

shell igloo
spice veldt
#

don't worry I just spam assail instead

pale matrix
strong gulch
small reef
#

After leveling up a bit brainburst psyker with warp charges giving less peril generation make it feel a lot better

with a dueling sword

atomic zephyr

3 stabs

i dont

#

its 3 stabs regardless

then lol

#

it is what it is

#

uncanny go brrrrr

atomic zephyr
#

that is true

potent echo

im so whelmed by gunker with scrier

#

venting shriek just gives so much more value and cc

what is so whelming about it

#

its just whelming

#

i feel like a vet without ammo regen or nades

#

or powersword KEKW_ogryn

fallow falcon
#

Funny fire sword

steel flame
#

is what i might say if i ever played vet

#

vet is Zzzzzzzz

potent echo
#

shouty vet and full right vet go brrrr

#

throw some smokes

#

run in, profit

spice veldt
#

the crit chance and +finesse buffs can be interesting with a certain weapon that has long crit strings and good finesse

steel flame
#

why throw smokes when you can just abuse empathic evasion

potent echo
#

i want to trivialize the entire game with creeping flames

spice veldt
#

vets are dripless and don't have duelling swords

#

there's True Aim at work, but 42.5% crit chance is attainable (20% from scriers, +7.5% base, +5% node, +5% perk, +5% aura)

bleak tulip
#

also lmao

spice veldt
#

so roughly 1-2 normal shots followed by a 4-shot crit string on average for the columnus with max crit chance attainable

steel flame
#

what was the overall dps from that

bleak tulip
#

true aim is a well thought out talent

spice veldt
#

plogryns have ~66k hp and it took 10 seconds, so 6.6k DPS

#

tbf the IAGs have good weakspot and crit multipliers against unyielding in particular

#

so it might not extrapolate as well to the other armour types

#

(well they're good against all of the armour types, but they're both the highest against unyielding among the armour types I think?)

#

i lied it was maniac that I was thinking of

bleak tulip
#

yeah that explains why even a relatively unoptimized one shits all over muties

steel flame
#

i dunno why that is

bleak tulip
#

when in doubt, latency

Its the power of the warp obv

Is there any difference between charging and locking on brainburst other that the obvious that are you can change who you target and the lock is lost when the enemy die?

nope

But it's the same if you hit as soon as you have it charge if you already have someone targeted

next mist
#

ya

small reef
#

Huh

#

I guess am just precharging just to make sure the enemies don't die while am locking on them

#

I expected to have any difference like charge time or damage but no

marble locust
#

I use bb plenty it's fine, not good or great just fine.

small reef
#

Assail and Smite are the superior options

#

But i find BB to be fun

shell igloo
marble locust
#

Assail is a crutch, and BB handles snipers better.

strong gulch
#

BB has a time to use it, but it's infrequent.

#

Crutch talk again.

marble locust
#

Yeah you don't use it 25% or more of the match like Assail, which was having people only use it all match.

strong gulch
#

People who need crutches, need crutches.

shell igloo
#

BB could probably still use a little love. I've had several Damnation games where it feels like I can never complete a BB before the zealot or vet annihilate everything in the room

marble locust
#

They should make it have a chance to crit.

shell igloo
strong gulch
#

Never heard of anyone enjoy using crutches either.

#

Get blasted right in the armpit.

small reef
#

Psyker seems like the class that has the most things to learn for what it seems

torpid girder
#

Is the duelling sword good vs hordes?

strong gulch
#

No, but it can manage them.

marble locust
#

It's an atypical class not the norm for these things. Good compared to what staves, No

torpid girder
#

hmmm

shell igloo
spice veldt
#

they're somewhat below average, but they'll work if you've got rampage on them

marble locust
#

The MK5 is good for dodging into the next planet

torpid girder
#

Also, is there a good way to farm plasteel besides just running quickplay over and over?

strong gulch
#

Good vs hordes to me means you can either control a horde and/or melt it.

spice veldt
#

not really, unfortunately

marble locust
#

Nope

bleak tulip
#

you can kind of stay alive indefinitely against hordes with mk4 push block

#

with zero effort

spice veldt
#

besides going specifically for linear maps like magistrati/consignment yard instead of being up to the whims of quickplay

bleak tulip
#

but muh 20%

small reef
spice veldt
#

materials only scale based on difficulty (and quickplay) and nothing else

shell igloo
#

I think the trick for maximum plasteel is to play at the highest comfortable difficulty you can. Search off-the-path a LITTLE bit for resources, but don't scour every inch of the map either.

bleak tulip
#

whats the worst that ould happen, I get vent purge for the third time in a row? Clueless

strong gulch
#

Lucking out with loot goblin team mates helps, but those are so rare these days.

thorn cedar
#

the trick to max plasteel is to play way too fucking much

spice veldt
#

damnation is a big step up in maximum materials spawned, so it's usually ideal to play it (low int preferably)

marble locust
#

Diamantine shouldn't even be in the game at this point it's pointless

#

sitting on 30 k of it

spice veldt
#

yeah fatshark is sitting on what to do with diamantine it seems

#

wonder how long it'll take for diamantine to be relevant again

shell igloo
thorn cedar
#

let me cash it out for my 401k

strong gulch
#

Also being happy with "good enough" or "just fine" gear helps with plasteel.

BUT the psyker chat. We are never satisfied.

bleak tulip
#

I choose to believe that fatshark isnt letting us name or "lock" weapons in inventory vanilla so we dont hoard a buncha shit for when dismantle gets chagned

spice veldt
#

and damnation has a better plasteel-to-diamantine ratio than heresy and malice

shell igloo
#

Sorry, you're absolutely correct. I did my math backwards.

spice veldt
#

ye no worries

#

actually, I think my diamantine gain has been neutral?

#

i'm pretty sure I've been floating around the same amount for a good amount of time now

#

i should probably get numbers on the ratio of plasteel-to-diamantine used for consecration/refining/reblessing

strong gulch
#

Refining.... so farking expensive.

bleak tulip
#

idk I'm still gaining D

#

went up like 2k over the last day or two

cobalt bone
#

out of curiousity, what second blessing would be good on the revolver beside speedloader? i currently have hand cannon on it as 2nd

bleak tulip
#

I do get stupidly lucky on other classes meme of the week weapons tho

#

I keep not getting hadron'd

spice veldt
cobalt bone
lunar hollow
#

gained like 10k since patch 13

#

closing in on 100k diamantine

strong gulch
#

Dang. I was watching a darktide run, but I paused it part way through. Now it's gone. ๐Ÿฅฒ

Bye bye unfinished video. You will be forgotten.

spice veldt
#

hmm yeah i've been floating around 50k diamantine

lunar hollow
#

im at roughly 83k

spice veldt
#

i think i had 48k a month ago but i'm not sure

Bro, the floodgates that are gonna open when they finally (emperor willing) allow some form of currency conversion

crimson remnant

atomic zephyr
crimson remnant
#

they have great synergy

old citrus
#

yes apparently uncanny strike should be put in there somewhere

#

i too was running precof/riposte and indeed it was overkill

#

uncanny really helps put crushers/maulers down faaaast

crimson remnant
#

can always change

potent echo
#

Uncanny also boost maniac/unyielding dps

#

So good for bosses too

pale pilot
#

any builds combining soulfire stuff with assail?

#

or is that a non-synergy thing

bleak tulip
#

its neither

potent echo
#

Soulfire staff?

bleak tulip
#

you can do it

potent echo
#

Or stuff

bleak tulip
#

yeah purg and assail is probably getting the least value out of assail but there isnt really a reason not to take it still lol

dense bramble
shell igloo
#

Is it true that uncanny stacks apply to ticks from force sword special? Cause that seems wild

bleak tulip
#

it applies to soulblaze so its possible

dense bramble
#

What is the best Purg build currently? I run it with BB just for the wildfire

shell igloo
#

I'm wondering if uncanny could actually let you one-shot maulers/crushers with a single special headshot

potent echo
#

BB, shriek, warpsiphon

potent echo
#

But canny gets 4 stacks instantly from the special

potent echo
shell igloo
potent echo

potent echo
#

You can sprint slide while channeling all staves btw

#

Channeling = charging

strong gulch
#

also quelling

spice veldt
#

so my net neutral gain of diamantine is probably because I refine/rebless a lot more than I consecrate at least nowadays

bleak tulip
#

youll never become a diamantillionare like this

potent echo
#

Imagine if fatshark just straight up scraps those 2 currencies

bleak tulip
#

retvrn to colored shards

bleak tulip
#

give it a year or two and we'll get loot die

This should not exist as a reward from an auric 5 maelstrom.....

what is the best dueling sword mark ? II , IV or V

potent echo
spice veldt
#

2nd light ๐Ÿฅบ

potent echo
#

first one pushes their head down to the side, second one comes up like an uppercut

#

but it requires too much effort so KEKW_ogryn

spice veldt
#

i despise the 2nd light

#

uppercuts should never exist on a finesse weapon

#

i'll shoot its kneecaps

cosmic sigil
#

I do feel something changed tho, it doesn't behave as well as before.

#

I don't know if it's the dodges, slaughterer or the mobs being tankier

atomic zephyr
#

how usefull is rampage on a mk4 duel sword? does it even trigger often?

#

i see some people running it

stable silo
#

i wish i could take the 3 middle talents in the tree but you just cant ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

@thorn lintel mk4

spice veldt
#

for dreg bruisers, you'll need to push-attack to proc it, but you can maintain it with lights after getting the +cleave from the +power of rampage

#

you won't be able to maintain it with lights on scab bruisers

#

I prefer uncanny + rampage for everything that's not melee/monstrosity maelstrom

spice veldt
#

i prefer having the crit blessings/precog for melee/monstrosity over rampage

atomic zephyr
#

lol ok, that other reply was confusing

spice veldt
#

oh melee maelstrom yeah

atomic zephyr
#

question does unyielding dmg and carapace dmg offer the same dmg boost against crushers?

lunar hollow
#

only carapace

atomic zephyr
#

crushers dont count as unyielding?

lunar hollow
#

nope

lyric burrow
#

crushers are full carapace

atomic zephyr
#

would it seem somewhat useless to have carapace dmg on a mk4 with uncanny?

lyric burrow
#

unyielding is just bosses/bulwarks/reapers

#

nah carapace is still good

lunar hollow
#

carapace is ok

#

lets u stab maulers better too

atomic zephyr
#

ah ok

rough cedar
#

hey guys what perks should i have on the surge force staff and preferably whats a good meele to have recently hit lv 30 and still kinda confused what to spend resources on

lyric burrow
#

youll delete crushers with it

lunar hollow
#

u get more value out of +carapace with uncanny than u would without it

lyric burrow
#

the only things you really need are unyielding/carapace/maniac so its up to you

#

but i run carapace

#

cause the unyielding dmg isnt high enough for me to spec into it

spice veldt
#

rip bozo

lyric burrow
#

rip bozo

atomic zephyr
spice veldt
#

i heard him get grabbed by a mutie and immediately heard the slams as well

#

what a tragic fate of a 5-wound psyker

lyric burrow
#

you need to take like scriers with a gun for any real monstrosity dps

lunar hollow
#

10 downs in one game

#

impressive

lyric burrow
#

i think i had a game where there were 30 combined revives

#

because 2 guys went down non stop

#

it was truly impressive

lunar hollow
#

he also did this

silent coral
#

so what weapon is best for the whole melee scriers build?

lunar hollow
#

i have the best mileage with ds4

#

pop it in an elite pack

#

and get to STABBIN

lyric burrow
#

ds4 + las pistol or vraks 7, ive gotten vraks 7 to work as well

lyric burrow
#

deimos also works

lunar hollow
#

u shank guys

lyric burrow
#

scriers with a DS also allows it to horde clear

#

which is nice

#

sciers + DD but tbh i doubt DD makes a big difference

lunar hollow
#

o also

#

uncanny from ds applies to soulblaze

#

including perilous combustion

potent echo
#

tbh you could have done that without gaze

lunar hollow
#

it looks cooler

potent echo
#

true

lunar hollow
#

with the screen effect

#

scriers is also the ult that i just straight up forget to use

#

because its like cool but beyond that shrug

#

i run it cuz i like the voicelines

lyric burrow
#

i dont think its bad but its very niche

lunar hollow
#

its not bad

#

but it needs some work

#

it is deranged that vet gets to chain through cooldown with exe stance

lyric burrow
#

i need to go out of my way to give myself a reason to use it lol

lunar hollow
#

but u cant with scriers

#

and scriers is hard limited by peril

lyric burrow
#

yeah exe stance is still mad good

#

vet with the rework if they leave him as is will be gross

lunar hollow
#

i mean tbh

#

exe stance has good competition

lyric burrow
#

although tbf psyker doesnt need any buffs lol

lunar hollow
#

i think vet unironically has one of the most balanced lineups

#

in terms of which ult u run

lyric burrow
#

oh i just meant like stuff like plasma gun being very good atm

lunar hollow
#

theres benefits and downsides to both (though shout is a bit overtuned)

lyric burrow
#

or columnus

lunar hollow
#

plasma still needs a full rework

#

imo

#

the gun does not make sense

#

the LMB is more ammo efficient and equally as heat efficient

lyric burrow
#

idk what they want it to be

lunar hollow
#

see what i would do

lyric burrow
#

like i thought it was gonna be the delete single target anything gun

lunar hollow
#

make primary fire have very limited cleave, but a bigger splash

lyric burrow
#

but then they just slapped +100 cleave on it

lunar hollow
#

and make the RMB still have the big cleave

#

and single target "kill shit in a line"

lyric burrow
#

yeah

lunar hollow
#

and then make the RMB have better ammo efficiency/ADM vs unyielding and carapace

#

cuz like, u should have to charge up ur big boy hunter gun

#

to kill the big boys

#

because the plasma cleave sounds cool, but

lyric burrow
#

i can get behind that idk why both shots accomplish the same thing but with worse ammo effic

lunar hollow
#

it still hard stops on carapace

shell igloo
lyric burrow
#

i dont even use the cleave tbh

lunar hollow
#

which means in a lot of situations its meh

lyric burrow
#

its only nice when elites line up

lunar hollow
#

and it does good vs rager/gunner packs, but u also have a shit ton of other tools

#

for dealing with those

lyric burrow
#

otherwise im wasting ammo

lunar hollow
#

which is a shame

lyric burrow
#

you also dont need to charge shot most things

lunar hollow
#

and the primary fire has 50 cleave

#

anyways

#

and the charged shot scales it up to 100

lyric burrow
#

like it doesnt do a ton for breakpoints

lunar hollow
#

or if it does hit BPs its still overkill

#

because a lot of stuff u can 2 shot

#

but the charged shot takes up 3 shots of ammo

lyric burrow
#

i think the only relevant one it does for me is one shot on crit headshot on a crusher

#

but if it doesnt crit its just a 2 shot

#

and so is 2 LMBs

lunar hollow
#

yeah

#

the gun is janky as fuck

#

the buff just made it usable (and meta for scab melee only lmao)

thorn lintel
lyric burrow
#

i didnt even hate it before

lunar hollow
#

the problem before was

lyric burrow
#

but bolter also existed before

lunar hollow
#

it did nothing a hb3/bolter wouldnt do

#

u were taking this gun to flex

#

essentially

lyric burrow
#

yeah i always wanted to bring it to do single target super well

#

but your better off with bolter/mk3 or even mk12 and now vraks 7

potent echo
#

plasma with flak/unarmored in pre13 could 1 tap gunners and that was cool

lunar hollow
#

i mean plasma is usable

lyric burrow
#

i also wish its boss damage was better '

potent echo
#

didnt need to reload as often as bolter

lunar hollow
#

because the thing it does

lyric burrow
#

i do think its good now

lunar hollow
#

is nuke elite patrols

#

very quickly

#

and in the post patch 13 world there are so many goddamn elites now

#

(which is good and anyone who tells u otherwise is a snake in the garden)

lyric burrow
#

like you preferred pre patch 13

#

difficulty

#

i remember you dont like elite spam

lunar hollow
#

no my problem was always special spam

#

which is still there

#

but now the game has dynamic elite spawns + scripted spawns on some maps are more aggressive

#

elite patrols are more common

#

which is good

lyric burrow
#

yeah i like where the games difficulty it at rn

lunar hollow
#

elites are the fun enemies u wanna fight, y'know, when u think 40k u think battling heretics

#

not fucking

lyric burrow
#

i still feel a little op in some loadouts

lunar hollow
#

having to press dodge at the right sound cue 5 times in a row

lyric burrow
#

but nothing crazy

lunar hollow
#

because theres a million trappers on the screen

potent echo
#

gunners are kind of lame though

lunar hollow
#

well like if people complain about power creep

#

u have to keep in mind

#

u have to be good at the game and know what ur doing

#

for that power creep to apply

#

plenty of fresh 30s wandering into aurics and getting their asses handed to them lol

lunar hollow
lyric burrow
#

yeah for a while i fucking depised assail + void cause it felt so braindead easy to me and then i saw someone borderline fail to function in auric and i thought that maybe its not as bad as i thought

#

i hate gunners less than i used to but the dont move or you get stunlocked every 5 seconds does get annoying

#

when the game goes that way

#

i still thank god everyday that dogs are better

potent echo
#

tide games are actually just a dps check, if you kill things before they swarm you, game easy

lunar hollow
#

dogs are better

#

but i am so fucking angry about trappers

potent echo
#

if you dont kill anything and everything hits you at once welp

lunar hollow
#

bugged sound cues, stupid high stagger res

#

etc

#

like the dumbest fucking interaction in the game

#

is a trapper running up to you

#

and you push

lyric burrow
#

so its not just me that has them ignore my push and im sad

lunar hollow
#

and it doesnt stagger it

#

and it fires the net anyways

potent echo
#

trappers are funky, you should be able to push them yea

lunar hollow
#

like WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO

#

YOU CAN'T DODGE THE NET AT POINT BLANK

potent echo
#

kill them first KEKW_ogryn

lunar hollow
potent echo
#

unironically

lyric burrow
#

i think if you hit them it works better but hitting them is not in my muscle memory

lunar hollow
#

the problem is never

#

when there is 1 trapper

#

it is when u have to kill other stuff and the trapper spawns around a corner and is already in ur face

lyric burrow
#

when they are point blank

lunar hollow
#

and u go "oh ok i push them"

#

and it doesn't work

potent echo
#

dont be in a corner

lyric burrow
#

idk if ive had sound cue issues but maybe i just havent noticed them

lunar hollow
#

its map dependent

#

the problem is that the engine is at its limits with enemy spawns a lot of the time now

#

esp on maelstroms

lyric burrow
#

aside from this patchs spawn jank at least

lunar hollow
#

so u can get completely silent muties/bursters but

#

theres instances

#

where ur standing in 1 spot

#

special is super distant

lyric burrow
#

oh yeah the sound engine just breaks

lunar hollow
#

move ~3 meters

#

the special is now RIGHT IN UR EARDRUMS

potent echo
#

i always took that to mean that its targetting you

lyric burrow
#

esp on stuff like waves of mutants + poxbursters and hounds

lunar hollow
lyric burrow
#

sound just turns off lol

potent echo
#

i feel that mutant sound cue radiates from the person it is targetting, for sure

lunar hollow
#

because at some point the game literally just cant handle it

#

also keep in mind

lyric burrow
#

i thought maybe my onboard audio was the issue but i got a soundcard and have the same issue

lunar hollow
#

fatshark devs r mostly not playing auric maelstroms

potent echo
#

and when the original person its targetting breaks its targetting (like jumping off a ledge or something) it changes target to you

#

and you get the ear deafening scream

lunar hollow
#

nah

lyric burrow
lunar hollow
#

the audio in this game is super janky

potent echo
#

probably not

lunar hollow
#

but for the most part theyre not gonna have the same issues people who play the game a lot are

potent echo
#

wasnt that like the CMs

lunar hollow
#

just cuz thats like, how it goes with any game

lyric burrow
#

because i just have a very hard time that somebody played agianst the old dogs and said yeah that works

lunar hollow
#

the developers are almost always to some degree out of touch with the gameplay

lunar hollow
#

hold on

#

ur misunderstanding

#

with old dogs

#

if you self-hosted

#

they worked perfectly

lyric burrow
#

or used old voidstrike and said yeah thats fine

lunar hollow
#

like in the psykh with creature spawner

#

u could do everything u can now

#

slide under, push consistently, etc

lyric burrow
#

ah ok i did hear about that but didnt think about the fact thats what fatshark devs would be playing on lol

potent echo
#

they just made dogs work client sided now right?

lunar hollow
#

idk about that

#

the push radius is a lot larger

lyric burrow
#

think they just gave them lag compensation

lunar hollow
#

u can push em from super far away

lyric burrow
#

essentially

potent echo
#

so its like a bandaid

lunar hollow
#

and the lag comp is better

#

because the issue before was shitty lag compensation

#

and dogs just having a spaz attack

lyric burrow
#

yeah for me pushing them is super consistent

lunar hollow
#

and the game arbitrating that u didnt push them

lyric burrow
#

knock on wood

lunar hollow
#

if there was any weirdness at all

potent echo
#

still needs to be earlier than you would think

#

but yea at least consistent now

lyric burrow
#

i find i can just do it on reaction to the soundcue now

vital mural
#

Does anyone have any advice on getting the Warp Battery penance

lyric burrow
#

whether they wind up the pounce or not

lunar hollow
vital mural
#

Oh..

potent echo
#

i think i saw people do it definitely...

#

within patch14

lunar hollow
vital mural
#

I got up to 202 seconds

lunar hollow
#

were working as intended

potent echo
#

people were reporting that they did it

lunar hollow
#

its just what they thought the weapon was performing

#

wasn't actually good

#

like void had some of the best suppression vs shooters in the game

potent echo
#

old void was decent next to surge in malice probably

lunar hollow
#

and could completely disable patrols with suppression alone

#

but like... in practice, this is worthless in a lot of cases

lyric burrow
#

like balancing games is hard and they have done a good job of bringing some of the bad stuff up but i just question a few things

#

yeah in a game where DPS is king suppression is

#

ok

lunar hollow
#

the reception to the psword/flamer nerf

#

influenced the state of balance pre-patch 13

lyric burrow
#

i think the flamer nerf was fine aside from it affecting all burn damage

#

psword nerf was dumb since they just put it behind crafting

lunar hollow
#

flamer still does the same job

#

its just a little less safe about it

lyric burrow
#

they nerfed the time it takes to set up righjt

lunar hollow
#

fundamentally psword is just a bizarre weapon

potent echo
#

flamer has so many downsides though

lyric burrow
#

i swear its slower than before

lunar hollow
#

dont remember

#

i hate flamer (and purg)

potent echo
#

i think it was as slow as before

lyric burrow
#

not that i used it a ton

lunar hollow
#

if i had it my way u wouldnt even be able to use those guns

potent echo
#

they also stop firing when anything touches you

lyric burrow
#

i dont like flamer cause its a little mindless

potent echo
#

horrible

fierce crest
#

only when charging

lunar hollow
#

flamer is a weapon that makes me interact with the game less

potent echo
#

yea purg doesnt

#

purg goated

lunar hollow
#

and its really slow

potent echo
#

flamer is just shit

lunar hollow
#

and it doesnt even like

#

make enemies instantly disappear like a kickback does

#

which means it isnt funny

#

look at these shooters

lyric burrow
#

current kickback rn is very funny

lunar hollow
#

now u see them now u dont

tame venture
#

trauma staff may be your thing, as it makes ragdolls do the funny

potent echo
#

trauma has too much white shit going on

lunar hollow
#

trauma is alright but im waiting for them to release more staffs

lyric burrow
#

im so glad they buffed it shooting a gunner point blank and not killing it with my single shot cannon made me sad

lunar hollow
#

none of them really click with me in a way where im like

#

"damn this is banging"

#

theyre all just kinda tolerable except purg

lyric burrow
#

i like trauma quite a lot

fierce crest
lunar hollow
#

trauma is cool but it was also like the one thing i could use pre-patch 13 as far as staffs go

lyric burrow
#

i honestly think it might be a little too good

#

i like purg every once in a while

potent echo
#

purg is the best staff in terms of gameplay

lyric burrow
#

i should try void again only played it once since patch 13

potent echo
#

you get to interact with so many mechanics

lyric burrow
#

surge is also fun

potent echo
#

flanking, sliding, suppressing

spice veldt
#

oh wait moving

lunar hollow
#

i like gunpsyker the most rn

lyric burrow
#

damn

spice veldt
#

that counts I suppose

lunar hollow
#

because scriers loner has some funny voicelines

lyric burrow
#

i mostly play psyker for the melee tho

shell igloo
terse saffron
#

does stopping power help with any breakpoints on MK3?

potent echo
#

i would want one

spice veldt
#

I like to use purg's LMB often and just use it to support a melee playstyle

potent echo
#

lmb staggers an entire herd of ragers

#

and kills them... eventually

lunar hollow
tame venture
#

i'm not a gacha player

thats why you name your weapons

multiple of my perfect weapons cost me million+ dockets

partly because it takes forever to get a good roll sometimes but also cause hadron bricks a bunch of them
