psyker-class

[lyric burrow]

honestly no clue

[tame venture]

honestly i'm only just dipping my toes into damnation. i can do decently, but it depends on how the pubs are

[lyric burrow]

i dont think anyone runs +dockets

[terse saffron]

because if its the latter that would be quite a haul with 80k base reward

[lyric burrow]

probs additive if nobodys bothering to run it

[tame venture]

and i feel like i'm only able to pull my weight playing the surge smite build

[covert ermine]

Purgatus is a saving wand on malestorm melee only lol.

Only thing able to burn throughthat

[terse saffron]

blazing trauma deals more damage and stuns more shit though

[tame venture]

do aurics give you more materials than damnations too? because while i could use money plasteel really is what i'm starving for

[lyric burrow]

blazing is great on melee maelstrom esp since uncanny applies to SB

yeah you get more plasteel

[terse saffron]

and i find those 1m+ damage runs not worth it because the reward is half of the monstrous nurgle shock for the same amount of time wtf?

[potent echo]

im not sure if you get more plasteel

[lyric burrow]

im pretty sure you do

i could be lying

but im fairly certain i come back with more plasteel

where as in damn i get like 500

[potent echo]

might be because its better players that explore the map more

[terse saffron]

all damnations are the same

maelstroms dont give anything extra

[lyric burrow]

ok maybe its just people exploring then

[tame venture]

if you don't get more resources than i think basic damnations are more worthwhile, as they may take less time, and are less likely to fail

[terse saffron]

you get 10% less because you cant quickplay into them

[tame venture]

and this too

[lyric burrow]

low int damn is optimal for plasteel yeah

base damn just doesnt hold my attention as well so unless im really desperate for materials ill just gamble on aurioc

[terse saffron]

just quickplay regular damnations you will get a lot of resource junkies there

and better equipped than auric maelstrom teams too

[potent echo]

the regular queue has so many questionable players though

[tame venture]

yeah

[potent echo]

at least auric filters pubs that actually realised that button exists

[tame venture]

it makes it hard to tell if i'm trash or they're trash

(it's always them i'm the best player ever)

i make sure to let them know

[terse saffron]

nah you get a team full of tards barely lvl 30 regularly on auric quickplay

[lyric burrow]

do you use scoreboard mod

[tame venture]

🙂

[lunar hollow]

https://streamable.com/290mfz

[tame venture]

nah i'm just joking about how people behave on pubs

[lunar hollow]

the shitters in aurics keep the game fresh

god bless harken

[severe folio]

in the end your experiences is gonna be reliance on your allies

[lunar hollow]

and his final charge

[severe folio]

so whether you are going into just pray youre not getting an ulcer in your teammates

[potent echo]

definitely got madge people stole his ammo

[lyric burrow]

the guy leaving discord voice right as he aggros it lol

[devout fox]

How to do Warp Battery penance? Seems impossible

[potent echo]

wait thats LFG? sheesh

[devout fox]

Does my Perils simply have to be in the red, or at 100%?

[lunar hollow]

oh no he was a pub lmao

[potent echo]

warp battery isnt about peril

[lunar hollow]

me and the 2 ogryns were in voice

the other guy wasnt

[devout fox]

Wait, am I a big dummy?

[lyric burrow]

wait am i just hearing things

[lunar hollow]

we just happened upon him

that was a different person

lmao

[lyric burrow]

ah ok

[lunar hollow]

he had damage aura

he apologized for playing like shit later in the match so it was all good lmao

[potent echo]

its warpcharges, bottom left keystone, not sure if the penance still works

[devout fox]

Oh

I am a silly

[brittle cargo]

Give it to me straight: which staff is the best?

[potent echo]

the staff you like best

[tame venture]

Killing an Elite or Specialist Enemy gains you a Warp Charge for 25 seconds, stacking 4 times(s). Your next Combat Ability spends all available Warp Charges to reduce the Cooldown of that Combat Ability by 7.5% per Warp Charge.

just keep up the killing, and it doesn't have to be sequential time either, just total

[lunar hollow]

u can see him in the clip get forced forwards by a mutie/flamer combo

and he just kinda

leeroy jenkins's into the dh

[tame venture]

none, all, most
they occupy pretty different niches

[potent echo]

if you are fast enough can you run past it without it triggering

[lunar hollow]

he unfortunately was not

[potent echo]

f

[lunar hollow]

its ok though

i sacrificed my teammates

because the dh dspawns once two people are dead

[lyric burrow]

thank god for that

[potent echo]

with gryns DH should die pretty fast?

[lunar hollow]

they had no ammo

lmao

[severe folio]

i accidentally stab a dh today

it was rising up so right after i stab it (which look like a corpse on the ground idk why did i even go for it), i immediately ran back to ally

someone else walk pass it and we all die anyway

[brittle cargo]

If I’m playing with trauma staff what blitz and ability should I take? I’ve tried all of em except scrier’s gaze and I don’t love any of them tbh

[severe folio]

well

[tame venture]

have you tried looking at the pinned guide?

[lyric burrow]

any of them although sciers would probs be the worst

[severe folio]

you gonna want something to handle sniper

so bb or assail

[lyric burrow]

assail would be the meta pick

[severe folio]

trauma have a lot of peril so maybe vent shriek

[lyric burrow]

unless you take duelling sword sciers probs wouldnt do anything for you

[severe folio]

dont care, its crit path

[atomic zephyr]

beautiful start to the trauma blaze build

[severe folio]

if i really hate it then i can just invest no further point into it

[severe folio]

think the nexus is better

[ionic cairn]

am I nuts or is getting both these blessings in a row really lucky

[lyric burrow]

yeah you want nexus

[atomic zephyr]

it is, but the perks arent bad

[lyric burrow]

your perks are good though so you could just change both blessings if need be

[atomic zephyr]

so i can just use both on rebless

[severe folio]

yeah perks are great

[terse saffron]

it is lucky but they dont mix

[severe folio]

unfortunately

they dont mix

[ionic cairn]

should I switch transfer peril to something else ?

[lyric burrow]

gives you 2 paths to go down though

[stable silo]

haha i keep trying to make fire sword work

[atomic zephyr]

flurry

[stable silo]

going gaze with DD running assault pistol and illis fire

[shell igloo]

Assail gives you better horde clear and can deal with MOST elites and specials, but you'll want to bring something to help you deal with carapace--something which BB is decidedly stronger against

[stable silo]

think i need to swap to las pistol

[ionic cairn]

surge would definitely be the better blessing to keep/earn over transfer peril though right

[atomic zephyr]

although i feel like even with flurry, it doesn't feel like i can spam tons of damage unless i full charge, and the charge is still slow with flurry

[ionic cairn]

I've never had either of those blessings so I'm sure

[severe folio]

its pair with trauma staff so

[terse saffron]

you can mod the surge off for the perfect non-crit staff or get the warp nexus

or get warp flurry instead and just get crits off true aim

[severe folio]

bb have too much peril build, which is good if you start out at 0 peril but if youre in the middle of trauma bombardment thats gonna be rough to handle snipers

so assail which let you go into more crit route seem right

[terse saffron]

thats what blaze bolts are for?

[shell igloo]

It depends. I've heard transfer peril and warp nexus synergize quite well to help you repeatedly cast in the 70-90% range without quelling

[severe folio]

why would you want blaze bolt

thats like

the worst option for long range

[terse saffron]

why would you want to fucking perish instead trying to bb sniper

[severe folio]

why wou-

THATS WHY I SAID TO PICK ASSAIL

[ionic cairn]

I don't have warp nexus on voidstrike yet :(

[severe folio]

youre not going to kill a sniper with a single blaze bolt

[severe folio]

in time

i think someone pair transfer peril with warp flurry

for the scrier meme

quell on headshots, keep scrier up very long in horde

keep critting

[shell igloo]

There's several things to deal with BBs peril cost, I wouldn't say that's it's fatal weakness. Did you know you can repeatedly quell to like 91% and keep casting BB?

[terse saffron]

[severe folio]

still, it doesnt seem like a good long range tool when you want to quickly handle a far away unit

[terse saffron]

its very good on some maps

[shell igloo]

I'd personally argue it's an excellent tool for that

[terse saffron]

borderline useless on others

[severe folio]

whats useless on others

[terse saffron]

BB

like imagine BB on hab dreyko

why would you ever press that button

[severe folio]

for the psychinetic aura and wildfire route

[terse saffron]

and then its specialist waves on say TM8-707 before the elevator

[severe folio]

well youre not going to handle any specialist wave with any of the blitz

not even smite or assail

smite are just going to stall them and assail arent going to kill them faster than bb

[tame venture]

is there any trick to grinding out getting the blessing catalogue filled out? or is it just a grind

[terse saffron]

well you very much can because you cant really snipe them with any staffs at that range

and headhunters get damage falloff

[severe folio]

just grind, passively

[shell igloo]

I sorely wish that earning a blessing made you even slightly more likely to roll different blessings, but that isn't the case

[severe folio]

why do you want to “snipe” specialist wave

[terse saffron]

because if you dont that exact section of that exact map im talking about gets annoying

especially in pubs

[severe folio]

no i mean

youre not exactly dealing with a specialist wave by sniping them

its when you are suppose to use your staff, its a wave

if you are confronted by a pack of gunners from 100 miles away your first idea shouldnt be sniping them off with assail or bb

[stone shard]

are all force sword blessings shared?

[severe folio]

it should be, get closer to use your staffs

[severe folio]

yeah

force staff should have done the same

its not like they gonna release a second version of each staff

[shell igloo]

That's exactly when you should be sniping them off with BB 🙈🤯

[terse saffron]

gunners veteran can deal with

[severe folio]

theres way too many of them to snipe with bb, theyll start moving in right after the firs tbb go out

[terse saffron]

2 second visual on some shit specialists he cant hit in the head 40 meters away not really

[severe folio]

no 😭 you cannot delegate

[honest robin]

smite feels really useless for me what am i doing wrong

[terse saffron]

if theres literal packs of them just lob voidstrike in their general direction

[severe folio]

how are you using smite

[terse saffron]

half their hitbox is head at that range anyway

[severe folio]

but this is FOR TRAUMA STAFF

[honest robin]

mostly like the surge staff

[severe folio]

its not that killing tool

[honest robin]

im not resetting and charging because it doesnt make me am i supposed to

[severe folio]

smite is to stun them

[honest robin]

yeah ik that but im not really getting staggers

[eager token]

MEEEEELK

[severe folio]

you shock a lot of enemy and they stop attacking

[terse saffron]

then dont play trauma problem solved

[severe folio]

how about you twist your balls how about that

[severe folio]

are you shocking them ?

[honest robin]

do you need to stop zapping and recharge to reset your like... stagger potency

[severe folio]

what

well

you just charge it up

and shoot at them

and then it will zap them, and keep them zapped as long as you hold them

[honest robin]

yeah im shocking them they're just not staggering, mostly if they're not in the first few targets

they keep running or whatever

covered in the effect

[severe folio]

its not a lot of ranges

def not surge range

[honest robin]

well they're definitely in range

[severe folio]

maybe you should make a clip on how you are using it

i cant quite visualize how you are smiting

[unkempt juniper]

i see so many ppl using the mk4 dueling sword

why not mk5?

[severe folio]

mk4 have stabby heavy

[honest robin]

last round there was a trapper that ran up through a group without any stun, and when it was the last one it kept going while being shocked

[severe folio]

very strong against carapce

[honest robin]

i was just charging and then holding lmb until my peril maxes

or i dont need it anymore

[severe folio]

you need to right click charge first

[honest robin]

yes

[severe folio]

hmm

[honest robin]

the mk 5 is good i like it

excellent at hitting heads

[honest robin]

uncanny strike handles carapace pretty good if you have it

[severe folio]

i don’t remember mk5 combo

is it also double stab

[honest robin]

its overhead swings

[severe folio]

i see

well the stab is def better

[potent echo]

stab does alot more damage

practically it one shots alot of things mk5 cant

[honest robin]

i randomly got a near perfect mk5 so i run with that

[potent echo]

like shotgunners and mutants

[spice veldt]

mk4 heavies have notably higher damage than the MK5's heavies for some reason

[severe folio]

mutant one shotting feels very good

[honest robin]

one shot without weak point hit?

[terse saffron]

on crit yeah

[severe folio]

on ceit

[terse saffron]

otherwise you need headshot

[potent echo]

or on weakspot hit

[severe folio]

but it one shot headshot

[honest robin]

my mk 5 does that too

[severe folio]

then you can roll with mk5

[honest robin]

that might be precog though

[severe folio]

especially if you are also dealing with crusher and mauler just fine

like 2-3 hit

[terse saffron]

can it oneshot rager on crit weakspot?

[potent echo]

mainly its just shotgunners /gunners

also boss daamage

[compact cargo]

it can 1 shot ragers with crit weakspot AND either high peril or scry

[honest robin]

no and that one does matter

[severe folio]

indeed it matter

[honest robin]

im pretty good at the dance but it's risky lol

[terse saffron]

well mk4 does that with 6 WC and 0 peril

[severe folio]

you should fine an mk4 then

[shell igloo]

So one important thing I haven't seen mentioned is that when you release Smite, it will deal a large stagger and throw smaller effected targets to the ground. If you hold smite until max peril it will release the cast and you will NOT deal any stagger

[severe folio]

find*

oh

huh

that explain it

[honest robin]

oh thank you that's what i was looking for i think, plus i might have identified an edge case in retargeting?

[shell igloo]

For longer engagements (large hordes) you want to repeatedly release Smite after a few seconds and quickly quell in-between. In this way, you can CC large hordes almost indefinitely.

[severe folio]

does smite deal massive damage when you release it

likr surge at the end of its zap

i kinda wish smite does so

[honest robin]

i see people explode all at once sometimes when people are using it

[shell igloo]

Negative, only the stagger. The damage is a constant tick with no crit or upshots in dmg

[severe folio]

thats smite’s death animation

this happen when you zap a group of low health, or when someone else is contributing to the horde clear

feels very fun when they pop

like those bubblewrap

[honest robin]

time for another run with my new knowledge

[shell igloo]

So there's another build for smite that I quite enjoy, which you might consider trying. That's using the new Empower Psionics (EP) with Smite. This adds +125%dmg to ONE cast of smite and consumes an EP charge

[honest robin]

i grabbed EP because i wanted the preceding nodes and dont like warp charges as much i think

[potent echo]

i rather go creeping flames warp siphon

[shell igloo]

If you get a big cast off on a large horde, you will often kill enough enemies to completely refund your EP charges. In this way, you can continually use EP smite for powerful wave clear

[severe folio]

thats the usual smite killing isnt it

but killing horde with smite is not guranteed

unless you spent all 3 EP charges maybe

[shell igloo]

I find a single cast from 0-100% of EP smite can pretty easily clear some 20+ poxwalkers in heresy difficulty

[severe folio]

well

of course

[shell igloo]

And as the heads all start to pop like popcorn, it's incredibly satisfying

[severe folio]

thats heresy

i have never seen it killing from 0-100 in damnation

[shell igloo]

I'm not home to test, but I can virtually guarantee that a single cast of EP smite will clear a group of poxwalkers and bruisers (not ragers) almost just as quickly

[severe folio]

Well i am home

and in the game

and its not killing

[shell igloo]

Have you considered gitting gud instead?

[severe folio]

have you consider turning into a woman

[shell igloo]

I am already Tzeentch's woman

[severe folio]

thats not the same thing

[chrome linden]

thoughts?

[severe folio]

quite nice

can replace the stamina with maniac

how long does bloodthirsty last ? till next melee attack ?

[chrome linden]

i think so. i dont think its great

[severe folio]

i mean

[spice veldt]

5 seconds or until the next melee swing

[severe folio]

oh

[chrome linden]

aw, fuck that then

sucks

[severe folio]

wait

well, this is only going to apply on warp stab

activate after your warp stab

[severe folio]

i guess its not that good

seem stable

distribution is great, the base stat kind of low though

[chrome linden]

what is the advantage of "force" swords? like what makes them special? other than their special attack i mean

[zinc phoenix]

You can roleplay Darth vader

Blockin bullets shootin lightning

[gleaming belfry]

Their push follow up has heavy stagger and can throw ragers on the floor while their are attacking

Blazing Spirit blessing for soulblaze builds

[zinc phoenix]

I mean yeah there’s minmax reasons too

[gleaming belfry]

Mobile and Dodge friendly for being relatively heavy long reaching swords

[zinc phoenix]

No more infinite dodge force swords 🪦

[gleaming belfry]

still 5 dodges

thats combat knife levels

[zinc phoenix]

This may shock you but 5 < infinity

[gleaming belfry]

use that +1 dodge talent on right side talent tree for the meme of it

[ashen schooner]

360 push, push block has heavy stagger, powered attacks count as warp attacks, special blessings, very good anti horde and/or single target damage

[gleaming belfry]

true but thats not a make or break thing

[zinc phoenix]

No, but it was a really nice feature of them

[gleaming belfry]

agreed

(but also slightly broken to be fair :D)

[tired estuary]

Diemos also still has funny dmg on 2nd heavy too

[gleaming belfry]

you could dodge dance infinitely around hordes and solo them without any sweat lol xD

[tired estuary]

Like yah duelling sword does too now but those are worse horde clear

[zinc phoenix]

Or you could do what I usually do which is that followed by dodging off a cliff and then malding in chat

[gleaming belfry]

😄

ah yea you can also quell peril with them

[zinc phoenix]

I keep forgetting they removed quell from the normie weapons

[gleaming belfry]

or generate (infinitely on illisi)

[stable silo]

u just strafe in a crescent moon pattern to keep the enemies from swinging at you dodging if you hear the woosh and swinging at heads its really effective

push and block every now and then for fun i guess

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah the thunder hammer shuffle

[stable silo]

waht u guys think is the best weapon to run with fire sword build psyker rofl

i mean ranged weapon *

[severe folio]

force sword dont have infinite dodge anymore

[severe folio]

since you are going with that crit for fire route, might as well pair it with crit for fire trauma

[zinc phoenix]

Trauma takes a lot to get used to

[severe folio]

theres time

[stable silo]

i had a feeling it was the las pistol

[zinc phoenix]

Lmao

[shell igloo]

Holy fuck you guys, I could not comprehend how it's only a quarter past 1:00am when I could've SWORN it was nearly 2am

[stable silo]

this is my boyo

[shell igloo]

Daylight savings strikes again, the sneaky devil

[severe folio]

you have bad internal clock

[zinc phoenix]

Daylight savings

[severe folio]

now i cannot tell if this is an illisi or an obscurus

[stable silo]

illis haha

[severe folio]

illisi, so you already designate that as your horde weapon

and, elites

[stable silo]

its for fire sword meme build

[gleaming belfry]

he dalyn, if you are into guns / crits, you may also give Kantrael MG IV or 1a a shot. They scale really well with crit based psyker stuff in general. And you get lots of hate from meta staff users, that's a bonus

😄

[stable silo]

sciers gaze disrupt destiny wildfire ect

[severe folio]

yeah the laspistol for priority target seem right

idk if i have the same opinion on wildfire anymore, since someone point out to me on its drawbacks

but perilious combustion is a must have

[stable silo]

oh wildfire is stupid but it spreads blue which looks impressive

[gleaming belfry]

yeah... true. Thing is, crit based psyker can make alot of melee weapons work REALLY well. All the catachans, duel swords... heck even combat blade with meme bleed blessings and the combat axes are beastly when used right

[severe folio]

all flame spread blues

[gleaming belfry]

but Firesword is so much fun to use xD

[severe folio]

but the main thing about wildfire is that

if im picking it, that means i have to stray pretty far from crit path

[stable silo]

not if u take disrupt destiny

u have points to spare

[gleaming belfry]

I guess its me but I use brain burst empowered psionics

on all my gun psyker crit builds

[stable silo]

oh see im gg BB but not EP

[gleaming belfry]

i find it far more efficient / useful than disrupt destiny

that perk basically means you can BB gunners / ragers infinitely

because you oneshot them

^^

[stable silo]

i serpose

[severe folio]

you guns is doing the same thing

[gleaming belfry]

I dont believe tzeentch worshippers

na laspistol is insane on close range

[spice veldt]

besides the +dmg, the +weakspot and +crit dmg from DD is appreciable on guns with good finesse

[gleaming belfry]

like quickly drawn during melee encounters to gun down targets yes

but BB is better at long distance sniping

and I dont consume ammo

[severe folio]

yeah if im bringing guns and sword i rather a talent that alos buff those damage

[shell igloo]

Good, screw those rascals

[severe folio]

rather than EP that only buff blitz

[honest robin]

do you get EP stacks from all kills or just blitz kills? i wasnt paying attention

[severe folio]

you get it from all kills

[gleaming belfry]

disrupt destiny is too random for me

[stable silo]

this is the build im running for maximum toughness regen and braindead fighting

[severe folio]

it doesnt really matter if its random

treat it like warp siphon

you are killing everything

[gleaming belfry]

it does

I do prefer consistency

[severe folio]

so it will slowly count up anyway

[gleaming belfry]

but thats me

[severe folio]

the consistency in picking EP for bb when you are using guns and sword that has nothing else buffing their damage is more odd to me

you essentially dedicate a whole tree for, none of your weapons

[gleaming belfry]

i dont need more damage honestly when I build around crits

never thought "i might need more direct damage"

(on T5 auric that is)

[honest robin]

is cleave dump for these? this one might actually be sick

[gleaming belfry]

BB on the other hand saved me and my teams ass many times

[severe folio]

perhaps

[honest robin]

the ranges on cleave looked narrow

[gleaming belfry]

sniping targets none of my weapons could reach

and none of theirs

[shell igloo]

So one thing I haven't seen anyone talk about is that the "guarantee EP charge on elite kill" talent goes VERY well with BB. You can chain-kill groups of elites with free empowered BBs

[severe folio]

you do be using the mk4 for those heavy stab

so i guess cleave can be neglect here

mobility would be the true dump stat

but this one should be fine

[spice veldt]

you can pretty much ignore cleave damage (only scales unarmoured/infested and not flak armour damage modifiers), mobility, and penetration (because uncanny strike exists)

[honest robin]

i mean look at these ranges i can probably still light attack headshot walkers

[severe folio]

can try

the main thing is whether the rest of the blessing are going to be botched or not

[honest robin]

im gonna go let hadron ruin it yeah

riposte 3...

[shell igloo]

Damn @shell igloo that's some brilliant shit

[severe folio]

not the worst

[honest robin]

unarmored enemies... do i want to spend 600 plasteel when i have a good mk 5 already

yeah why not

[severe folio]

realistically your teammates is already at those other elites already

[honest robin]

rampage 3 hadron you monster

[severe folio]

they may not kill it, but that means your back exposed and you are interrupted by a bruiser

[honest robin]

spat all over my dreams

[severe folio]

not the worse

could replace unarmored

and replace the rampage

[honest robin]

yeah its salvageable

[severe folio]

think you not gonna use the rampage

so should replace unarmored and rampage

[honest robin]

yes

[severe folio]

maniac, uncanny

and voila

servicable

[honest robin]

im not gonna right now im gonna go play veteran once and go to bed

[cosmic sigil]

I run my revolver psyker mostly with assail and EP + crits, but tbh I do kill a lot of things with just the revolver alone so I am tempted to let go of assail et use dd instead

[severe folio]

you mean bb

[cosmic sigil]

Sorry

[severe folio]

think bb would serve like your revolver but slower

[spice veldt]

i run assail in my build since it's convenient for the path I'm going for and I can just whip it out for "I need toughness/we might lose" situations

[shell igloo]

Revolver plus BB makes intuitive sense to me, but you could end strapped for options to clear hordes

[cosmic sigil]

Assail disrupt or EP?

[spice veldt]

if it's assail spam go for EP

[cosmic sigil]

I am an illisi mofo

[spice veldt]

if you want to have fun with your other weapons and they have good finesse, go for DD

[cosmic sigil]

I have an arsenal of illisis for every situation and nerf / buff upcoming

The result of spending millions to get a low warp res unstable slaughterer 4 (that I do not use tbh)

[shell igloo]

Congrats, you've got a reasonably well-rounded gunker build (abomination, heinous, sickening beloved)

[stable silo]

the fire sword experiment is not going so well

[gleaming belfry]

because you end up using your pistol all the time? xD

[wispy pike]

I feel like theres tons of blessings ive never even seen before

[severe folio]

i cant go back to force sword now that i experience the greatness of dueling sword

[gleaming belfry]

Been there, done that, but you are a genius nevertheless anyways!

[robust sierra]

Is anybody willing to help me with staffs, and what blessings/perks to use on them?

[echo turtle]

Yeah it sucks

[glossy ember]

pins has a guide

[robust sierra]

for patch 14? or is it older

cause the forum doesn't really specify on what I'm trying to know

[tame venture]

it's slightly out of date but overall reliable

[glossy ember]

aight fellas, it's time for me to fuck around and find out

can i play auric histg damnation without relying on shield

[silk hawk]

i am using it in my surge bug abuse build, its cool ofc, but elites are only ragers/crushers/bulwarks/maulers/gunners

most of these die so fast that u barrely can benefit from that talent

unless u are focusing like, super distant targets

i think that talent should include all special and disablers

then it will be rly good with bb

[potent echo]

except you bran burst a special and then no refund

[magic wraith]

trauma

[glossy ember]

damn it takes a long ass time to build 30 stacks

and it STILL doesn't let me 2hit crushers

gets very close though

[visual adder]

Die

[glossy ember]

wot

[visual adder]

Die Psyker hast ein fuehr

[potent echo]

30 seconds to be exact

[stable silo]

saveable or bricked haha

[glossy ember]

yeah that's long

[visual adder]

That’s pretty decent

[glossy ember]

also I fucking suck with it

and it's really hard to see the benefit of scrier's gaze rn i legit don't feel like i'm killing stuff faster

even at max stacks

[visual adder]

Change ghost to dumdum, then crit dmg to maniacs

[potent echo]

i would change both perks and call it a day

[potent echo]

you press it when you are fighting stuff, thats about it

doesnt really change your gameplay, which is sad

[spice veldt]

it's more niche than it really should be, since it's mostly the +crit chance of scrier's that I'm interested in for stuff like the columnus IAG

[glossy ember]

wait ok, it's actually great for my melee weapon, feels like I do a lot more damage. Surge staff, not so much

[vagrant hollow]

guys which blessing/perk i should change if im playing scrier gaze build?

[glossy hazel]

This build has been pretty nice, good all round everything.

[silk hawk]

i see ds 4 i reject

xD

[glossy ember]

you gotta pay attention to your gauge a lot more though

unless you just melee

but still gotta quell to gain the buff between melees so

makes things choppy

kinda disapopinted I don't reach new breakpoints with surge unless I double crit though

[silk hawk]

which is bad thou, bcuz every extra thing u need to pay attention, takes your attention away from the enemies in front of you

[glossy ember]

but it definitely lets you chop up ragers super fast with melee

so that's one good thing at least

[glossy ember]

oh yeah definitely

gonna give venting shriek a shot

[silk hawk]

idk i can 3 shot crushers with my surge bugless obviously

[glossy ember]

do you go wildfire with creeping flames?

[silk hawk]

with 1 crit

[still hearth]

Scrier's needs a bit of an overhaul

[silk hawk]

feels pretty good to me

[glossy ember]

that's without scrier though

with scrier even at 30 stacks the crusher had just a bit of health left

unless I double crit'd

[silk hawk]

ye thats with warp charges

[glossy ember]

for a 2 shot

do you run precognition

on scrier

[silk hawk]

but the thing is warp charges let u be that one sparky much more

[glossy ember]

it sounds super risky

[silk hawk]

should work like melee sienna mechanic imho

i remeber it was fun playing melee sienna in vt2

xD

[glossy ember]

6 warp stacks 30 stacks scrier

can't 2 shot crusher

i guess it would let me 2 shot maulers instead

instead of 3 shots

yeah it does

so it helps vs maulers

and would help two shot maniac ragers without needing one crit

well, dunno if reaching a lower breakpoint on two mobs is really that useful though for an ult

but at this point malefic momentum would be the same, but safer, if more conditional

lemme try precognition node instead but i have a feeling that's gonna be even worse

yep even with that node

I can't two shot a crusher unless I double crit

lol

[static needle]

what are warp stacks?

[glossy ember]

bottom left keystone

[static needle]

yes i know i run them but what do they actually do?

[glossy ember]

more damage, and then you can choose between toughness regen or less peril generation

i mean it's written on them, they just stack up

[gilded radish]

what are the best blessings to put on surge staff?

[plucky flax]

Nexus and flurry.

[gilded radish]

thanks

[glossy ember]

should I bother with wildfire?

[fierce crest]

if it makes you feel good

then use it

:)

[glossy ember]

that doesn't help

oh, pins has a build for it

mandatory, aight

[fierce crest]

should you bother with it is very personal question

i have tested it and i think its worthless

but if it makes you feel good

then use it

[plucky flax]

Don't 👏 Just 👏 Blindly 👏 Follow 👏 A 👏 Guide 👏

Anyway I do use wildfire.

[glossy ember]

is this just a way to tell me "it's terrible and you shouldn't use it"

I'm just asking if it's a good node

not if it makes me feel good

[fierce crest]

i dont think so

[glossy ember]

I've never used it.

[fierce crest]

but it feels cool

:)

[silk hawk]

ur not tired to spam Q after each cast xD?

[plucky flax]

Look I casted the spell and they keep burning forever until they're all dead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVUUzH_CZiY

[silk hawk]

sad thing about it that the burn itself does hilariously low dps here

xD

[plucky flax]

Maybe it gives me a breakpoint on a third target somewhere.

[silk hawk]

ahahha

[fierce crest]

if there was a thing that did a large burst of damage and applied 4+ stacks of warpfire to a single target

wildfire would be good with that

:)

[silk hawk]

trauma?

[fierce crest]

thats an aoe

[glossy ember]

i think it's fun

[silk hawk]

burgatus can thou XD

[fierce crest]

tech skill

[glossy ember]

i also had a harder time managing scrier's gaze without doing that

i'd get to 100 easier

[silk hawk]

well i guess some people enjoy it... but i would not bother like that in any universe...

[fierce crest]

https://tenor.com/view/fox-terminalmontage-supersmashbros-gif-18466170

quell canceling

[glossy ember]

it's also neat to steal the elite kills from a vet so i can get warp charges

I do it for H1 on my devil claw too

when i need a rager dead

[fierce crest]

l1l2qq for orgyn power maul is funny

[glossy ember]

i don't quell cancel

i can't get the hang of it

[glossy ember]

big fan of shield where block cancel H1 is just as fast

[silk hawk]

i just rolled 5 times for funzies...

blessings are shit right?

[primal aurora]

yes

[fierce crest]

usually you want burn and crit or speed and armor strip

[silk hawk]

i was thinking about shockwave and burn xD

[glossy hazel]

Jesus Christ what the fuck

[plucky flax]

I have over 1000+ level across 4 characters.

[near wyvern]

There are some good build examples in my Steam guide, The Psyker Atheneum. The link is also here in the pinned messages:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959

Feel free to swap out non-mandatory talents to your liking.

[severe folio]

i think its not the wildfire but your own cleave thats setting enemies on fire

[near wyvern]

@plucky flax wildfire is not strong by itself since:

• it vanishes of target dies with only 1 stack of soulblaze
• it can only apply a max of 4 soulblaze stacks on a target
• it wastes procs by refreshing a 4 stack blaze on a target
• 4 stacks is not enough to kill anything on its own

Wildfire is only good if you have a lot of blaze going on already to provide you a headstart for your blaze damage or if you spam creeping flames with enfeeble smite, since enfeeble smite will close the gap and allow the enemies to die with only 4 stacks of blaze.

So wildfire in itsel is not able to kill a thing

All it does is make a pretty visual

Just to give reference, 4 stack soulblaze has a base damage of 11.4 damage per tick, so around 15.2 DPS. Smite RMB deals around 50-60 DPS and people complain that's low.

[severe folio]

wildfire overwrite soulblaze stack from other sources ?

[potent echo]

I don't know if I'm still running it on my purg build

[near wyvern]

No, there is only single soulblaze effect

[severe folio]

i def removed it from my purg

[near wyvern]

You can or overwrite soulblaze

[potent echo]

The staff only stacks up to max 15/16 for now

If you add creeping you can reach 21/22

[near wyvern]

The damage is calculated according to the buffs of the player that applied the first stack, or that's at least how it used to be pefore patch #13 but probably haven't changed

[severe folio]

then what do you mean by wildfire wasting proc by refreshing 4 stack blaze

[potent echo]

Since it only spreads to one, you would want it to spread to a fresh target with 0 stacks instead of refreshing a 4 stack

[severe folio]

oh

wait

it only spread to a fixate amount of targets ?

[near wyvern]

Target A has 5 stacks of soulblaze, target B has 4 stacks of soulblaze, target A dies, target B stacks are not increased but duration is refreshed and one of those 4 stacks that are spread is consumed.

[potent echo]

Or it spreads evenly between targets I'm not totally on the ball with wildfire

[severe folio]

oh

it spread 4 stacks

on a random number of enemies ?

not every enemies within vicinity receiving all 4 stacks ?

[potent echo]

That would be actually good

[severe folio]

are you kidding me

thats horrible

[potent echo]

Yea

For now it only serves to prebakes some enemies

[severe folio]

nuh uh

[potent echo]

So they get more stacks if you proc another blazing

[severe folio]

this isnt even enough warm them up

[potent echo]

Well you can add it if you are swimming in talent points

But probably not

[severe folio]

that is probably never

unless you just

dont pick anything and go one straight line

[potent echo]

Until they rework it to spread more stacks at least

[severe folio]

they should do that

and make it spread an equal amount to all enemies

i never knew it can only spread a total of 4, distributed on a random numbers of enemy

i thought it spread 4 to all enemies around

[near wyvern]

Yes, it tries to spread stacks evenly, 1 at each target if it can, up to 4 stacks total are spread no more.

[severe folio]

i see

so it will spread to at least 4 targets in a horde

with 1 stack each of them

[near wyvern]

And there is a bug where it simply cannot spread a single stack

[severe folio]

yeah thats water

[near wyvern]

So if a target does with only 1 soulblaze stack, it will not be passed on to an enemy with no stacks

[near wyvern]

No. Up to a maximum of 4 targets. There is no guarantees it will spread any. The target rules are in Atheneum.

[potent echo]

If it had no max stacks, would that still even be good

[silk hawk]

damn

[severe folio]

fukk

[severe folio]

uhhh

well

how long do each soulblaze stack last ?

[near wyvern]

Read the Athebeum people, at least for the talents on your current build to ensure they actually do what you think they do!

[silk hawk]

i think i am going to try purgatus+deimos

hecking deimos sword just 2shot crushers XD

without even using special

[potent echo]

When using creeping flames pox walkers die with like 2-3 stacks left

[severe folio]

the atheneum

[potent echo]

The OG combo still strong

[severe folio]

oh there it is

[potent echo]

On steamcommunity

[near wyvern]

11 ticks, and ticking every 0.75 seconds so around 8.25 seconds. After that it starts to wear off one tick at a time with each lower stack ticking once at the same interval.

[silk hawk]

gona run warp charges...

[potent echo]

Unrelated but does voidshield on captains take extra damage from rending

[silk hawk]

should i use shield on venting thou?

[potent echo]

Venting for sure

[silk hawk]

but i want that crit aura :((

[potent echo]

Helps you kill shooters

[near wyvern]

Haven't tested so can't say

[severe folio]

you should run scrier with purg

[potent echo]

Maybe I should test it

[potent echo]

I tried day1 patch 13.... Its not very good

[severe folio]

i tried today

it feels very good

[potent echo]

Don't you miss creeping flames at all

[silk hawk]

deimos one shots ragers... its hilariously strong....

[severe folio]

why would i miss that when i can apply 15 soulblaze to everyone

[near wyvern]

I guess you could try running gaze with purg if you have Battle Meditation, Warp Siphon, Inner Tranquility and In Fire Reborn (perhaps battery as well)

[potent echo]

Because with creeping you apply 21

[severe folio]

i dont really need that

with purg and gaze i can crit on my flame

[near wyvern]

Mutants as well on the H2, no need for special

[severe folio]

and thats applying 2 soulblaze

[potent echo]

Also I have the debuff mod on, you reach 15 like really quickly anyway

[severe folio]

yeah but the gaze also amp up your flame damage

[plucky flax]

I don't have blazing spirit on my sword.

[silk hawk]

honestly i have feeling like u dont need to use special at all on that sword

[potent echo]

Creeping gives you range and flexibility and also dumps peril

[silk hawk]

its that strong

[severe folio]

then i dont think its the flame but rather the sword thats killing

but i dont want to dump peril i want crit

[potent echo]

You mainly use it to get 4 stacks of uncanny instantly

Other than that H2 loop does more dps

[silk hawk]

ooo.... it works like that?!

xD

[primal aurora]

Lately I like to run Auric Heresy with this (Duel sword IV + laspistol). I'm mostly being carried by teammates vs hordes, but it is so funny to play as speedy psyker on crack, sprinting to specials, maulers and crushers, killing them in one or two heavy thrusts to head.

[potent echo]

Yea crusher combo is special the head, light, heavy = dead crusher

[silk hawk]

damn

its even more op

... D

[potent echo]

The special doesn't even need to be heavy special, just light special to get stacks

[plucky flax]

Can't stop me using wildfire. Trust me I'm top 1%.

[potent echo]

Your builds have nothing to do with that

[near wyvern]

You are correct. There are only 2 use cases for the special.

1. You are using purgatus and have flamed everything twice with RMB and there is a 6 pack of crushers. If it is safe, you can special a mobs head with Uncanny Strike Deimos to make that Soulblaze work on the crushers. But only if it's safe.

2. Bursting the scab captain boss once the shield goes down.

[plucky flax]

[silk hawk]

is it actually more beneficial to special him? then just throw a h2?

[still hearth]

I'll show you I can be top 1% without a build

[potent echo]

his shield comes out if he goes below a certain threshold, special has a big burst at the end that surpasses the threshold (usually)

[near wyvern]

The scab boss? Yes, because when your team goes for the nuke you only have time for one attack. If your team is not nuking then the optimal would be to do a couple L1H2 on head and finish it off with the special.

The boss has health tresholds and a timer that force the shield to come up again. If you latch the special before the shield goes up it goes through the shield straight to the HP pool.

[rare storm]

First time getting this, wonder why it happened

[runic siren]

What blessings on trauma staff?

[severe folio]

AI Director dont like you

[rare storm]

Maybe lmao

[severe folio]

maybe warp nexus and rending shock

[spice veldt]

that area has one of the more sus AI director moments for some reason it seems

[still hearth]

Warp Flurry + Rending or Warp Nexus + Blazing

[near wyvern]

@silk hawk if you have unstable power uncanny strike Deimos you can deal 20-25% of scab captain boss HP with single special even without +flak perk. Easiest way to set it up is to smite to 80+ peril just before shield goes down so no mobs are there to hit you.

[runic siren]

Aight ty

[rare storm]

if you want to be a support that basically gives your team 2x dmg, flurry/rending

if you want to be crazy horde clear, nexus/blazing

[silk hawk]

i see, good to know

[still hearth]

I run a Warp Flurry + Warp Nexus

Which does less damage overall than blazing

But I think it does more concentrated damage

[severe folio]

i mean

[silk hawk]

when i use melee i am usually very low on peril, so i tend to just use shred instead

[severe folio]

it does spell raw damage a lot

[rare storm]

Very suspect lmao

[still hearth]

Trauma doesn't benefit from rending itself afaik

So Rending Shockwave is entirely to help your team or to setup melee for yourself

[rare storm]

You can rending then dueling

[rare storm]

ye this

[silk hawk]

it does if u also stack burn Xd

[rare storm]

solid damage output honestly

[severe folio]

wait

rending shock dont apply to trauma itself ?

what

[still hearth]

It does

[rare storm]

nop

[still hearth]

But trauma

Does 100% damage

To everything

So it doesn't DO anything

[severe folio]

wait

[still hearth]

[severe folio]

ohhhh

huh

[still hearth]

They nerfed the brittleness/rending stuff

So it doesn't go over 100%

[severe folio]

wait so youre saying armor type dont matter to trauma

[still hearth]

Yeah

[severe folio]

that it just hits full damage

huh

[runic siren]

So I would presume blazing + nexus seems to be overall better

[still hearth]

I think so except maybe uhh

[severe folio]

very interesting

[still hearth]

Infested

@plucky flax would know

[severe folio]

oh fuk does voidstrike also do that

[still hearth]

Yes

[severe folio]

or is this just trauma

[rare storm]

I mean it depends on what you mean by better

[severe folio]

fukkkk

[still hearth]

That's why they're so broken too

[severe folio]

fukin

[still hearth]

I think Surge does that as well

[rare storm]

if you want big stonk damage numbers, then yes, blazing nexus

[severe folio]

surge too ??

[still hearth]

Ye

[severe folio]

man what

so only purg dont get this shit

[still hearth]

Pretty much

[severe folio]

motherfuker

[still hearth]

Though even if it did 100% to carapace

It would still do very little

So

It's like 200 DPS or something with the direct flame

And Soulblaze is a separate armor calc

[severe folio]

what if its already doing 100%

[still hearth]

Soulblaze does 0.1x on Carapace at least

Idk what Purgatus does

YOu can just inspect the weapons though

And check the damage values for armor types

[severe folio]

oh yeah

[still hearth]

But I'm pretty sure Purgatus has shit carapace damage values

[severe folio]

but how would i know that numbers means 100%

[still hearth]

Does it match the base the weapon says to the left

THen it's 100%

[severe folio]

the 100% is unarmored damage

?*

oh

[rare storm]

o wait I didn't know void does 100% dmg

That's neat

[still hearth]

Yeah Void has a 1x damage multiplier to all armor I think

That's why its also super dumb

[severe folio]

no thats not neat

[still hearth]

[severe folio]

they should nerf that

[still hearth]

Void needs to have no cleave

Or at most

[severe folio]

fukin rail guns

[still hearth]

One poxwalker cleave

Not 6-7 poxwalkers

[severe folio]

void only have 7 enemies cleave though right ?

or is that too much

[rare storm]

"only"

[still hearth]

It has 10 cleave value

Which is 10 groaners

[severe folio]

what

[still hearth]

Or 6.6 poxwalkers

Which rounds up to 7

[severe folio]

man

[still hearth]

Groaners have 1 hitmass. Poxwalkers have 1.5

[severe folio]

fukin fatshark

[still hearth]

Or groaners might have 0.75

[ripe crater]

Wait... I just did an auric maelstrom.. but this is the first time I get a frikkin PURPLE reward for that. Wth, as if the oj rewards aren't shitty enough, most of the time.

[still hearth]

I actually got a great reward

It's the first one ever that was like "damn that's actually good"

[still hearth]

Like???

[rare storm]

[ripe crater]

This is what I got for auric maelstrom. Like wtf.

[severe folio]

gonna have to replace that weakspot dmg

[rare storm]

DumDum 4 IS FINALLY HERE

[still hearth]

I already had good staves so I just turned this into a Nexus + Flurry staff

Yeah I replaced the perks

But like

Those stats

Holyyy

It's literally the only Emp Gift I've ever used because its actually good

[rare storm]

fml I can't replace my main pistol

I gotta re gamba

[rare storm]

I will get here one day

I've been meaning to ask the gunkers/vet players here, why surgical over headhunter

[next mist]

horde killing this, boss killing that

RAAAAAH I DONT CARE JUST PLAY CRIT PSYKER (well) AND DO EVERYTHING RAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

[late yew]

what is exactly crit psyker?

[next mist]

run max crit/movespeed with fencing saber and autopistol or heavy laspistol for quick ranged damage / suppression when running forward

scrier's gaze and brain burst

but you'll never use brain burst, just the chance on hit upgrade

only peril you generate is from scrier's

[primal aurora]

Psyker with meager +5% to crit chance who thinks that they are build for crits.

[ripe crater]

Actually, it's just surge abuse ^^

[next mist]

but surge abuse is so boring 💤

[ripe crater]

It really isn't!

But yea, to each their own

[late yew]

gunpsyker, eeuuuw

[next mist]

only problem with recommending it is that you have to play nigh-perfectly cause you kinda insta-die if you make an oopsie

[late yew]

That is literal skill issue

[primal aurora]

It is actually fun in a weird way. You are essentially sonic speed zealot with pokey sword that deletes armored enemies with head hits.

[late yew]

i have not self-exploded basically since talents rework

[ripe crater]

There's True Aim. Combined with Assail, that's a lot of crits for free.

[late yew]

i can do same by playing the actual zealot

especially since i DO like laspistol

[next mist]

but without exaggeration, unironically, i think it's the best performing build in the game when played optimally (not to mention fun factor)

[late yew]

at fits zealot well

well, dueling sword + purgatus + assail works pretty well too

you cover every enemy type

[primal aurora]

I think Gaze need some cool feature besides damage buff. I think it should at least highlight elite enemies, like Vet ability.

[ripe crater]

I agree

[next mist]

^

maybe move even faster iunno

[ripe crater]

Gaze risk/reward is too high for it to be really good, unless you're a sweatlord. I've sweated with Gaze, but it's too sweaty.

Meanwhile Shriek is just a free PoW save

[next mist]

yeah i blew myself up when running it and assail a LOT

luckily crit psyker never gens peril so i cant explode

flexing this auric 5 maelstrom game...............

[ripe crater]

Never gens peril? Gunpsyker or glitchpsyker?

[spice veldt]

groaners have 1.25 hitmass nowadays

[next mist]

gunpsyker ya

[late yew]

the hell you mean too sweaty

you have 0 risk with it

you can't explode from scrier

[ripe crater]

It helps you explode, shriek does the opposite, is my point.

[still hearth]

Sad

[spice veldt]

but it demands more attention from you for peril management

[late yew]

that is such a basic psyker skill

[spice veldt]

sure

but you can't deny that it raises the probability of exploding

[next mist]

but it throws off your muscle memory with how fast it can gen peril, and oops you REALLY NEED to spam assail or force special attack rn but OOPS scrier's got your peril at 100% teehee

[spice veldt]

and/or requires more mental attention because you can't rely on basic counting in your head to know when you need to quell

[late yew]

I do want to try crit psyker though

[ripe crater]

Gaze is fun, I used it almost exclusively at first. But I haven't in the past 50 + hrs.

[late yew]

I love laspistol after all

may be could try it with recon as well?

[next mist]

do it its the most fun ive had since running knife zealot

[late yew]

"knife zealot"

opinion disregarded

[next mist]

uh oh here we go

[ripe crater]

heh

[late yew]

please proceed to go to the Black Ship

[next mist]

you just hating cause you cant handle the speed™️

[late yew]

I love speed

But speed is useless in darktide, unless whole team has it

[plucky flax]

Since patch 13 rending does in fact increase damage to trauma now.

But is it worth dropping blaze for rending? I think not.

[ripe crater]

I swear, this store is set up to fuck with Psykers. It's always guns guns guns...

[still hearth]

They shadow nerfed it to cap at 100% though

[ripe crater]

(I'm not a Gunpsyker 🙂 )

[still hearth]

Doesn't trauma do 100% to most armor types

[next mist]

objectively wrong, speed lets you deal with threats before they can react (like gunners/reapers spinning up, or pushing bursters back before they become an issue), or zip around the map bouncing between teammates who need help

[plucky flax]

Yep patch 14 it's 100% rending max. It does full damage but with rending you still do more damage to stuff since patch 13.

[late yew]

If you need speed to bounce between teammaes, your team already fucked up too much

[next mist]

which most randos do

[ripe crater]

Most speed zealots are solo players

[plucky flax]

Anyway blaze is just better don't sue me.

[next mist]

why trust randos to survive when i can just use speed to do everything and keep them from becoming my problem by going down

[ripe crater]

And sometimes you split up for plasteel and etc, in a quiet moment.. And then all hell breaks loose, as units literally spawn out of thin air right behind you. Shit happens...

[next mist]

maybe im a stinker but i think teamwork doesnt really matter, just focus on not creating problems for your team and getting good at playing solo

slight toughness regen and like... 15% toughness damage reduc isnt really that worth sitting in a corner dying to a shotgunner horde trying to 'maintain coherency'

just do it all yourself B3

okay spiel over back to psyker

[ripe crater]

I keep saying, it's a single player co-op game.

Team stuff is forced upon you for certain situations which is what drives the co-op but other than that, you and mostly everyone else are playing a single player game. That's how it feels and how it seems when watching others.

[stable silo]

i think i did psykers proud i held the line against the beast of the ogryn

[near wyvern]

Slaughterer + Uncanny Strike should be the default for Deimos

[plucky flax]

All my homies still use deflector.

(I have none)

[potent echo]

the only teamwork that matters is not stealing each others jobs, like you dont need 4 players spamming explosions, soulfire, bullets and melee into a chokepoint. just 2:2 watching each end of the corridor or 3:1 will do

[plucky flax]

My sus games: what is team work? The skinny psyker you do all the objectives by yourself.

[still hearth]

Wow rude

[potent echo]

yea well the good player has to make up for the gaps in the team

[plucky flax]

Well do you use deflector?

[still hearth]

I mean I have deflector on one of my swords

I just forget I have it all the time

[plucky flax]

Every time I use a force sword without deflector shooters/gunners get me.

Cursed.

[stable silo]

I forget i have it as well but i def use it accidently and i bet you do to

[plucky flax]

Yeah I hold up my block then get shredded.

[stable silo]

Block and crab walk during scary times ur using ut

[glossy ember]

kickback ogryn?

[plucky flax]

I'm like bruh I'm putting deflector sword back on after this game.

[stable silo]

Yeah lol the kickback is a machine

[glossy ember]

it's definitely overtuned lmao

[plucky flax]

It's okay we have surge abuse.

It's fair.

[glossy ember]

wish these nodes were reversed

[still hearth]

They're both bad

Who cares

And left side is -peril gen builds so

Makes sense

[glossy ember]

wym peril gen is nice

[still hearth]

I mean yeah but -5% isn't that big anyway

And 5% tDR is meh too

[glossy ember]

it's one extra surge full charge, when I tested it out

just to confirm i'll try it again with 0 and 6 warp stacks

[still hearth]

But yeah literally all -peril gen

Are left side

I wonder if they're additive with Warp Charges

[fierce crest]

amogus

[silver sphinx]

does the surge blessing work on the trauma staff secondary charge attack?

[fierce crest]

nope

it should tho

[silver sphinx]

why did they bother with it then

[clear heath]

that's a good question

0 warp charges:
5 surge charges with that node
5 without

6:
8 with
8 without

nevermind i was wrong.

[fierce crest]

why did fatshark do something that doesnt make sense

[glossy ember]

time to ditch that node

i swear I remember it adding one more surge, but that might have been with my previous staff that had like 30 warp res or something

o well

[still hearth]

Did you take all the -5% peril gen nodes

[glossy ember]

yes

[still hearth]

Fair

I realize I have to run all the -peril gen nodes

[glossy ember]

this is with all 3

[still hearth]

For my Purgatus + Smite build

[glossy ember]

but that might be staff dependant

[still hearth]

But I want the peril

[stable silo]

Im just a meta slave running voidstike illis with ep assail. It works great

[still hearth]

The real meta is Voidstrike, Assail, Dueling Sword

[glossy ember]

gonna try running this now instead

not sure where to put my two extra points. Could go for +30 toughness or malefic momentum

30 toughness would help with me not running "one with the warp"

could also ditch Psykinetic's aura and go for malefic momentum straight up.

something like this

once again, two leftover points, hm

psykinetic aura is a bit too strong to remove i feel

[visual adder]

Yo why tf Psykers such nerds

Send some funny memes

Live a little

Damn

[still hearth]

What are you running this with

[glossy ember]

still this
