thing is, I don't feel like I'm getting much use of it with warp siphons giving me so much cdr
Yeah but you give your whole team 17.5% CDR as well
I don't know if teammates are getting much use of it either since i have no way to gauge that
Ogryn and Zeaot not as much amybe
isn't it 5
wtf
wait that's nutty
Yeah
Lovely
But its worth trying out tbh
mh
17.5% is pretty huge, even just for you yourself.
I mean
yes when it's almost double of what it's advertised to be
of course it's huge.

Even 10% is still generally more significant than the other options
no wonder the other auras can feel lackluster then
I am still confused why they nerfed the left node
5% elite damage is op???
And also didn't fix the bug yet
i'll be honest when i play ogryn I legit don't notice if I have a cdr psyker aura on the team
or if I don't

hence why I was like
I mean 3% damage is way better than 5% elite damage tbf
I only run damage aura on my assail build, as it's a very passive build that doesn't generally need to use ult at all. Shriek is there for emergencies but no talents into it.
But they're still both ass
are they additive numbers though
"yeah idk cdr ain't all that hot maybe?"
Yeah but the middle aura is super good for Vets in your team
Like no matter what ult they take
Its massive value for them
so true
don't they have self cdr nodes
Shout Vets can have 100% upkeep with a Psyker and CDR curios I bleieve
They have
6s off
On specialists kills
That's it

i mean it's huge if lots of specialist spawn
but you gotta count on specialists to spawn
So with CDR curios and the Psyker aura
Vet shout is a 21s cd
Which means they need to get one specialist kill
If I go back to my assail build I'll probably change it for the cdr aura, as indeed the 5% elite damage is just stupid. Shouldn't have been nerfed at all.
TO have 100% upkeep
yeah
Enjoy your constant overtoughness
And they only need 3 specialist kills to get their shout back basically
Assuming it takes about 1s+ per kill
I mean CDR is the most impactful in my eyes by a mile
When the rest of the class is bricked they might aswell get an op ult.
heretics are nerds. stuff them into le locker
But its still not insane
having overtoughness all time isnt that tough when you have to face a union of flamers and bombers
yea
It increaes your toughness regen after
Since it uses your total toughness for the % values
So if you have 100 toughness and 100 overtoughness
Enjoy 2x regen

And any toughness over 100% makes you OP
We just need the next difficulty. What would be above Damnation? Doom? Hell? I personally like "PURGE" or "Purge the Heretic". But yea, that and red gear. ASAP, thnx.
"friendly fire on" difficulty
Which one better
Especially Psykers need more staves
For what purpose? Blazing Spirit Voidstrike is pretty meh
a two handed force sword would be adorable
DPS
a force staff that can do melee properly would be nice
The right one has way better setup but you want to replace both blessings to Warp Nexus and Surge
it does make fights a bit anti climactic when you have two shout vets on the group lol
my last game was triple ogryn and a shout vet
I think the 2nd one, due to the perks. If you can get warp nexus on it instead of blazing spirit, I think it's almost tops apart from the stats.
I mean so does Assail so its okay
we kinda played with our brains off
So as i have not played alot of time as a psyker, was just curious is there a reason to never use your smite when getting swarmed in a high intensity? like is there a reason i'm just not seeing of why you wouldn't use smite to lock down when ya got 6 armor ragers, 2 bulwarks and a reaper in the mix?
You want to use it only if the situation is super bad
So that might be a good time
It depends
that sound like a horrible time
Should I buy the drip
why wouldnt you use smite during that
to kill the elites? if theyre there but you're not overwhelmed yet
i just lately rarely if ever see smite psykers actually using their smite when we really could of used it to not either wipe or take alot of damage.
Trauma, Voidstrike, Purge and Surge can all stun enemies anyway.
ohh
because you can release smite to knock them down and then follow up with something that does damage?
could've been on high peril
i have gun. that’s enough.🗣️
or
But isn't surge without bug bad? 
you know
also smite gets interrupted if you get hit so if you're being swarmed
I enjoy that we have the oppostie problem of smite spammers
most psyker are ass
bad idea to use it
It is bad
I refuse to accept this
Tru pls buff.
I generally do use smite for clutch situations like a mass of elites, securing revives, or M1 zapping trappers/bombers/dogs
its mid
smite talent build where?
It's good, fits a niche in many builds for CC.
Give surge a carapace buff so we can 2 shot crushers 
every staff except for voidstrike is mid because theyre not a gun that have infinite ammo
We already can
It can.

how
Just do the funny bug
Yeah no
I mean it can often 3 shot them without
yeah no
EP overrated anyway
It can three shot without yes
This is what I use currently, but with surge staff. #psyker-class message
yeah fuk EP
Most specials killed in a team with 3 vets. Surge haters where u at? 
I like warp charge cuz I screech
all my homies hate EP. Embrace 6 second cooldown Shriek
You have earned my respect
Yes
but even at 30 stacks of freaking scrier's gaze and 6 warp stacks I can't 2 shots crushers 
thats what surge does bewst actually
Is it using mod?
Cannot not reeeee
no
Yeah but you get copers who won't accept that surge is good.
Anyway I digress.
Thanks though all. Was curious i've now played with the same person 3 different nights. Runs smite. Never once see him do a charged smite when we are getting pummeled in a bad spot and have a person knocked. but will spam the dickens out of low charge surge staff.
all staffs good but they aren’t guns, so there’s that
its good but like
Surge is bad reeee
I only use surge staff to troll veterans
in v limited circumstances

How to activate this scoreboard
probably because he is shit
clear auric damnation 20 time
thx!
Just not making the best decisions. Happens to all of us. But some people are so locked into a playstyle... For example, I "forgot" how to melee. I use it exclusively for blocking atm.
is this good?
Probably right cause even when i've ran smite i still use it when things going sideways.
can't two shot crushers with 6 warp stacks and 30 scrier stacks is bullshit
seem right
Limited like what?
thanks
I met a psyker yesterday with zero melee damage
It's good but not sure if you needed more damage for carapace
Veteran cosplay
its mostly vs Crusher rush on auric
He literary only used assail…
wait till you met a psykler with zero warp damage
@worldly iron I'm not sure if you've played the game a bit too much or got stupid lucky lol that staff giving me a chubby
Oh that's me.
is there a petition or something to have STAFFS in the SHOP?
assail users when i put them in the soup
does it go hard or nah
Staves*
Assail handcannon no need to use anything else.
True, yea nice
are you madame rougier from my english lessons 15 years ago?
assail more like ass lame
assail more like assalt
My current surge staff
I'd like to do an assail assisted horde-clear build with a fsword but idek what staff you'd use
Use a gun
gun‼️‼️
I guess revolver could work yeah
Vraks 3/7
No thanks
Kill the bosses
Be the boss killer
Then have a Zealot in your team
With Thunder Hammer
And feel useless

i learn that psykers have a Biomancy discipline that strength their physique
it do
My Ogryn with a bleed build has funny amounts of boss DPS
so maybe there should have been a blitz where you just punch shit really hard
Cast Fist.
That'd actually go hard as fuck
and run fast
Bleed bad
or like
actually
MUSCLE WIZARD
scrier gaze should have had that
Give us a traumaforce CLUB
just let you fuk shit up with biceps
Give Scrier's more melee damage
It kind of does
we need more
Scrier's should just be
It pairs well with Duelling sword
Scrier's already does enough dawg we practically make half of Vet builds useless with it 😭
Then you explode

Imagine that
Like infinite peril
+100% damage
Can't die
Then you just
Explode

Gazer should work like volley fire and starts the cd after activation.
Gunpsykers, a question of opinion.
Prefered IAG?
Everytime I play Veteran I just feel "man I could be doing so much more damage and having so much more fun on a gaze gunsyker"
Columnus >>>>>>>>>>>>
Graia
so like most scriers gaze psykers except for the cannot die part
Graia is good too but Columnus DPS is fucking insane
columnus, since it has a 4-shot crit string
Graia makes better use of finesse
theres also astropath psykers
Columnus that crit string tho
their finesse multipliers are the same right?
idk what they do though, steer ship through the warp i guess
Christopher columbus because Graia had too much recoil.
Every other class I played I felt like that. Could be doing so much better just with my assail Psyker. After lvl 5.
Yea, I see most debating Columnus or Graia. What happened to Agri, since it used to be THE IAG everyone used
which is, 99% of the involve of human
i actually like it too, but Graia offer more stability to me
It's good just a bit heavy recoil still and the ammo per mag is still smol.
So Agri IAG is better on paper on Vet I suppose
damn, psyker can heal themselves
but not these psykers
only the fukin zealot somehow
and they told me zealot arent psykers
Our Psykers heal toughness instead
fukin useless
I run the columnus on vet personally cuz why not
you don't benefit from the crit strings as hard, but it still has the highest DPS up close
I don't even use Assail
boring ahh fuck
Damn my meme blaze trauma video has 2k views for some reason.
It's not a meme anymore
god damn
I have a personal rule to not have any overlapping weapons on all my builds. So I'm wondering who should get which IAG
Here's why I like Columnus, even a gray one can do this
divination discipline of psyker is practically future sight and ultra instinct
Rending traumas in shambles.
Its not??
I would only ever run a Gunsyker with a Scavenger Vet though
Scavenger Vet gives you damn near infinite ammo
Should be a mod where UI ost starts when you activate Scryers Gaze
without one you run dry 3 times an Auric
Always was stronger than rending trauma.
guys look what i found
Scrier's Gaze should have slow-mo
Make it 5s of bullet time
Hell yeah
Slow everyone else too hahahaha
you know what it should have done though ?
Activate Scryer Gaze and confuse all our teammates
let you dodge range attacks at cost of peril while its activate
i would slowmo a coop game in spite
Just crit and dodge them anyway
actually
Oh look its Ultra Instinct
Scrier's should have 100% crit chance lets go
just dodge everything
I mean killing floor has zed time, why not darktide
range melee
Just remove all the other stuff
what is zed time
Zed time is slow mo for everyone which has a chance of proccing on headshots and stuff
since all the staffs is it own category
maybe there will be a second version of each staff
And you can get perks so you move in real time while zeds move in slow mo
i want a flame staff that just shoot a large beam of fire
like opening the gate to the fukin sun
Scier’s gaze should turn you into a Smurf
you should turn into a smurf
scrier’s gaze should turn you into john darktide himself
You’re already a smurf
bruhhh
charge assail to lobe off bigger shard
no
charge assail to slowly combine all shards
into a big shard
idk about erecting shield, but i definetely can erect something else with a sheer power of mind....
Until you run out of ammo
Near all of the psykers abilties are from the telekine path.

why areyou like this
Truly your mind is incomparable
revamp empowered psionics to do something different per blitz instead of having this general charge system and make it change assail into a larger single shard
Guns aren't that scary
alright lads
gun psyker also turns off other guns
5% toughness damage reduction vs 10% toughness replenishment while in coherency?
I guess neither would make much of a diff at the end of the day
hey i found vent
10% toughness replenishment only affects coherency regen as far as I can tell
since fatshark learn how to many, Bots
enemies bots
some of these skills would have been very nice
making enemies attacking each other
so TDR is better in general then
yeah
They're both insignificant in the big picture
we are all insignificant in the big picture
i’m swagged out in that big picture. posed with my beloved
gonna give this a shot
good luck

i've done unimaginable:
- Earned blessing from all trash weapons
- Sold all trash weapon.
I have not done clean up in like 500 hours.
Now i can afford non-aquilla store cosmetic.
just add gunner dr
THIS is the way
we making it to beta psyker level with this one 🗣️ 🗣️
What would be a more interesting primary fire for a new staff? Right now the voidstrike, trauma, and surge have literally the same primary fire
maybe a staff that shoot assail
most of the staff cant figure out a different primary fire because
well
spammy and low cost arent come in a lot of form
not gonna hurl cheap lightning bolt
BB Staff
hitscan short-ranged lightning
It's weird to me because don't pretty much all the Sienna staves have a different primary fire?
i dont know much about siana staff
but i recall she have that laser staff right ?
i would want that in darktide
fuk, one of the pyromancer discipline literally does just that
they fukin project the sun like a beam
Meteor Staff
also pyromancers seem to have self combust as a skill
meteor 😭
i dont think that will ever fly
in a game that already have fuked verticality
Cyclone Staff
they would have to dig their brain HARD to find a way for the meteor to pierce through the ceiling
cyclone would be cool
but i think thats more a blitz, or an ability ?
create a vortex that suck enemies together into a spot
that shit would be hella stron
Black Hole Staff
also im surprised theres no ice psyker category
biomancy, telekinesis, pyromancy, divination, telepathy
I had this ideal for an artillery/mortar-style staff with heavy peril cost in exchange
this all they got
huh
i didnt know people make ideas for staves
but arent you just describing a tweaked up trauma
with innate blazing spirit
no wait
youre
you made fukin haima cannon
this is literally cannon of haima
Vortex Staff
I modeled the stats directly around the trauma yeah, but this would be a long-range parabolic arc. Definitely haima cannon vibes lol
that way i can purg into the vortex and create a fire cyclone
hehe giant flame staff
Sure, just replace assail with that and make BB faster
why
Cause assail is a boring ability
i see
wait
space wolf librarian can use ice
but theres no ice discipline
for psykers
THIS IS NOT FAIR
Take the trauma staff and then basically double the range, radius, damage, charge-time, and peril. You've got a heavy ass artillery staff.
Sounds balanced
you know theres only 1 problem to that staff
the map
is going to fuk with the parabole
a nomanus staff that have lighting strike down from where you aim your mouse would be nice though
I don't know if this is sarcastic, I tried to ACTUALLY make it balanced. I think being balanced is the main thing that makes a concept interesting
i mean
it will be balanced but like
its just trauma with extra step for extra casualties
and i cannot tell if its an equinox staff or a rifthaven
its fire so its gotta be rifthaven right ?
fukkk i want a fukin ICE STAFF
That's a good point, I'll change the name. I have no reference for the naming conventions lol
Imagine if they add corus to DT
what is corus
coruscation staff?
Coruscation staff. Lets you apply DOT Fields everywhere and the primary fire is a shotgun
gimme shotgun staff
Yea
Primary fire is a shotgun blast, alt-fire leaves a lasting circle of fire
sienna yea
alt fire is zealot grenade but smol
you can almost tank a daemonhost with devil claw without kinetic deflection.
I think a corus staff would be dope, and there's definitely room for it in the game
but how will the alt fire exactly work
Beam staff.
do you just slap the alt fire down once and return to spam prim fire
Beam staff when vt2 first came out was incredibly op.
The right click did a gazillion damage.
The targeting reticle and charge-up would look a lot like trauma, except casting would leave fire in that circle instead of boom
Nah you spam the alt fire since DOT stacks have no limit pretty much in Vt2
No I think it can have multiple, but it just has a high cost
wtfffff
also showcase of cooldown but we had two psykers (neither had CDR aura but he might have had psykenetic aura)
With fingerrolling you can melt bosses with corus
naah they would not let that happen in darktide
THis would probably have to be adjusted for Darktide, since you can't just quell peril indefinitely in VT2
if you can place multiple dot down
yeah
they would make it like
very short on the ground
or only 1 circle
I wouldn't want to diminish the effect itself, I agree 1 or 2 circles max would be a good start
well its a staff thing
Eh the meta build pairs it with fire sword which can generate a stupid amount of THP with one heavy
Not that I want BW in DT lol
they dont really have a limit on spammed objects in darktide
She's too OP
because peril quellin
overall build went pretty good
I don't know what the shared assets are like between games, but I'd like to think it wouldn't be terribly hard to translate code for staves over to Darktide
this should have been part of your phobos
meteor land leave behind a fire crater
I need to play scier gun psyker more. These days I often get bored of the staffs before I'm even done with melks for psyker
That would be pretty dope, and set it apart more from ogryn frag bomb. Maybe the staff could have it's own internal charges on like a 30s CD.
i'm starting to do less and less melee damage the more i play psyker and i'm not sure this is a good thing though

its
natural ?
i mean you are suppose to make more warp damage
and you have weapons that cover whatever your melee purpose was before
right but it used to be 50/50
How would any of these orbital staffs work inside/underground lol
you shouldnt look at it as "melee damage" and "range damage" but more on each of its purpose
but i guess with a shield ogryn in the team
they dont
kinda a waste to bother meleeing
This one wouldn't be orbital. Charging would show an arc like aiming a grenade (maybe slightly higher arc than nades)
@near wyvern so is that rampage % + 50%, or just raw 50% no matter the tier
Depends. Duelling sword heavies put in work with a horde clear staff. And for voidstrike the added horde clear of illisi is nice to have
did necromancer update for siana add any staff ?
Primary fire launches a bolt (like standard) except it bounces on contact and leaves burning debuff. Alt fire is functionally identical to BB.
Yeah it's quite satisfying. The "soulstealer staff".
nice
Soulstealer
The drawback is there's friendly fire in VT2 and Necromancer has long-ass burns. So you have to carefully aim soulstealer not to deal a nasty slap on an ally
DOT FF is so annoying
friendly fire in a coop horde game
Don't miss moonfire being very common
Is neckromancer out?
Wait you can barbecue your buds with your neck romancy?
That’s funny I’m definitely doing that
empowered and brain burst goes hard wtf
Obesefish winning again
I don't think friendly fire would work well in Darktide, but it certainly adds an interesting element of discipline in high-difficulty VT2
If by that you mean unmitigated idiocy
It worked well in L4D because guns are controlled
Oh there's plenty of room for unmitigated idiocy in high-level Darktide in other ways
Alt fire behaves differently to BR, despite the end effect being identical. Alt fire of the staff has very limited angle you have to keep on the target you want to burst - it doesn’t give you a lot of leeway in moving your camera. If you commit to a burst, you have to keep your crosshair relatively close to your target, until the cast is finished
That's a valid distinction, but I'd maintain my description of "functionally identical"
Sienna players out here ending entire runs with one missed fireballs 😂
sienna have a lot of pyromancy
Fair enough - I just wanted to point out that akcshually 🤓 there are differences
Oh I'm plenty guilty of the akcshually lifestyle
Other than bolt staff, sienna doesn't do that much FF compared to javs or throwin axes or javelins
Said javelins twice, perhaps deservedly
Since elves like treating their teammates as pincushions
I've actively cringed after slinging a FAT javvy into an ally and seeing the chunk of hp disappear
The javelin is "magic", it could be cool to see a psyker analogue that costs peril...
This isn’t true Vermintide energy, you should instead be malding in chat that your teammate got in your way. If you ain’t blaming that victim you ain’t killin them rats
I guess that could take some thunder from the ogryn rock though
Clearly the intent of it
Wondering when we get a mechanical class with servozombies
wait
what is this sister of thorn staff thing
this is not sianna is it ?
theres another caster class in vt2 ?
Sister of the Thorn
Sister is magic ye
It came with sister of thorn yeah, but it's not exclusive to the career. Sister of thorn is a caster with a peril system like sienna.
The staff is exclusive
they only got this 1 staff ?
Only sister can use it
Well, Sister can have peril, but only if the staff is taken
otherwise she's just as generic as all other classes in regard to weapon choices
The sister of thorn only has one staff and it's pretty cool. Primary shoots a burst-fire of thorns in a line, alternate suspense an enemy in the air for a few seconds.
Yea sister is an odd one in that she came with 2 new ranged weapons and no new melee
Tho jav can be used as melee
The staff is overpowered in the base game, people usually just don't play it because it doesn't destroy everything like the javelin does
The jav is insane for dealing with elites and specs. I think the staff fills a special niche for reliably disabling chaos warriors and saving allies
people are fukin stupid
+50% no matter the tier plus that 36% as well for the highest tier
how does one build trauma, havent used it since beta
you have two options, flurry + anything else or then if you get 78-80% charge rate and blast radius you can build warp nexus + blazing spirit with +5% crit chance perk but that's a very lucky roll
First you must be born
Then you suffer
@left mirage check the psyker atheneum in the pinned messages
Soon you will build excellent trauma
I still use my old nexus/soul blaze trauma. But I'm sure flurry and the rending blessing are better combo
yeah the quell speed is in the gutter
Just bring force sword and quell with that
Build for rending or blaze. Rending is pretty decent for dmg support. Blaze rips through hordes and mobs
what the hell
It's low but I'd honestly roll it with how bad my luck is with dump stats
depends what you are after, unfortunately 5% brittleness = 2.5% rending so the effect strength is half of what you would think
that's straight up broken
That blast radius is based
36% power is already big but 86
Depends if you want to kill the horde quickly or not. Rending kills elites faster

well yes and no, it doesn't still increase your cleave and you need multiple targets to have it in effect so it's not that noticeable, it does make light spam pretty nice against horde
even a mixed one if you have uncanny strike
it's 36% power and +50% damage
If there’s not multiple targets you’re probably not whipping it out tbh
power increases your impact, cleave and damage
I’d upgrade the stick tbh
monstrosities, mutants, crushers...
Especially if you have nothing better
Stealth vet with smoke grenade and speed aura. 
Mr Gonzalez, Speedy, we meet again
Helbro as the ranged weapon of choice for that build is... odd
I have a feeling he might suck.
Let's see. Xd
Mk1 devil's claw and mk3 helbore. Interesting indeed.
Turns out he’s a god
ohhhhh
well shit
that's huge
sounds way better than shred
I dig the claw
even without bug
shred gives you better monstrosity damage so it's all depending on what you use
if you have something like voidstrike, trauma or purgatus staff for your ranged you never whip out your duelling sword for hordes
so at that point uncanny strike + shred is the better choice
the one thing about builds in games is that there is no single best solution to everything (unless the balance is broken af), there are only best solutions with respect to something
Uncanny strike is priority 1
is shred iv better on a deimos than uncanny 3?
oh yeah this'll cause some trauma alright
He ragequitted after dying.
someone told me trauma deals 100% damage to all kind of target, so rending dont affect trauma
is crit bonus a dump stat on tac axes?
nah still mobility
still mobile
Entire team benefits from brittleness
Trauma won't kill crushers fast but the brittleness will help your team finish it off after you knock em on their ass (or did the stagger nerf change that)
in order to get Surge blessing shouold i upgrade grey staffs to blue or does surge only appear as the second blessing when upgraded? if that makes sense
Surge can appear as the first blessing when upgrading staffs right?
so im missing out on 3% crit rate and 2% crit dmg vs some armor types for max mobility
sorry what does that mean
tier 4 upgrade?
so i have to upgrade it to the second blessing slot i guess?
i think crit bonus will be my dump stat and i'll try tac axes
In other words you're more likely to get surge as a 2nd blessing but it's possible to get tier 4 blessings first
ok so tiers is just the number of upgrades done that clears stuff up thanks
It's the number next to the blessing
oh ofc
so wait i am more likely to get a higher tier blessing as the second blessing slot upgrade i take it?
Seems to be the case
just generally i guess?
aight
why non-psykers such idiots?
Unarmored is useable
Infested is not the greatest, but you will be firing this into hoards
guess it'll depend on what I get for final blessing
"ranged dmg" nodes affect soulburn dmg?
Probably not
okay
what is last tree for assail?
living up to the username i see
tried running fire trauma again
entire team wipe from, practically nothing
literally dont even know how they all just scatter around and die
fukin double trappers and bombers should never happen
+ranged dmg node doesn't affect trauma charged shot
any, really
you sweet greanbeard
you clearly have not seen 4 trappers
Eh? It doesn't? Shiii aite
when a man sees a conga line of bursters it changes a man's outlook on how flexable The Director can be
i was that man, i also tried pushing said conga line 
you can probs guess how that went down
There needs to be some system that lets you freely test in the meatgrinder.
we got something close with mods being able to turn on the mob's ai n junk
but i assume u mean in base game
I mean change perks and blessings.
huh, the power of vagueness has bamboozled me again
sounds like a cool idea tho, see how well flesh tearer pairs or any other blessings on a weapon
before reblessing it
Being able to quickly change weapons around. BUT ALSO we still don't technically get all enemies in the meatgrinder without mods.
Best smite psyker build?
this is true, no monstrosities
id love to be able to test unyielding damage on something that isnt a reaper without mods
If you're in the middle of just comparing things and oops turns out you don't have enough plasteel to switch perks around, you're SOL. Feck remembering things unless you take notes.
IDK about best, but Ryken is generally pretty good. There are some things I'd personally change because of preference.
Link to the build. https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHFFNy1wb0JYc0F4cVE1NDJWZGswTUt2QzY3Z3xBQ3Jtc0tuSFlrb20xTGtMeUJaRG1pbzNpcHJhZEFlM2NZaVF6di1CLXVzbEVtZFl1WW9NRVZRX2VQUndsazJnWmF5MnlNTEMwdUNJZjdHVmVyQ3JvQ0M0a2RucXdhdng4Szhvb3dEb1FtSGFCbXNPbVBkcFhBTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbitly.ws%2FZsso&v=QibVVpAOE-U
Time to bring the lightning Varlets!
In this video we'll be looking at the first of my Psyker's builds - the Storm Witch! Smite was one of the abilities I was looking forward to covering, and although it didn't turn out as I had hoped during release (I was hoping Smite was a channeled beam of lightning that deal high singe target damage), I've ...
I haven't used a lot of smite. I'm about to try it.
easiest staff to use?
purgatus?
yee
bio-lightning
a little bugged if u got the empowered psyonic keystone
and na thats a good idea, hell i rock smite and surge alot
im lvl 17
real fun
what is voidstirke
purg is pretty crappy before you hit lv30 and can get one with good burn stat
charged warp ball with high stagger
voidstrike is easy and fun and feels effective from a low lvl I think
you only need to get to like 12 stacks for almost everything to die
aight ill try that
burn stat shouldn't matter much
ehh yeah I guess true
I guess just generally feels kinda crappy until you get a decent stats one
It's how they make people grind and play the game longer

Sad as f but it does work
most of the time
until people just give up

you say that as if aged milk make a difference with sewage water
borgar
hey what are the perks for void now to match with surge and warp nexus
maniac flak or crit flak or something?
It will be a very nice brick
im guessing its gonna be executor 3 and hmmm lets go with shred 4
Lol
Hadron has been good to me lately
This guy is evil
So I'm hoping for something decent at least
well how did it go
Man this disrupt destiny tree is ass
the brick is still in shipment, the plasteel grind is struggle
some guy really said "use bug" and left because he saw me doing good with surge
even though i had warp charges around me...
aaaa
i remember those days
now i have 20k + of every resource
and a roster of top tier weapons on every clas
except ogryn
just play auric damnation and the resources flow like something that flows
ironically im limited by ordo dockets now, i had to drop like 3m illion to get a good laspistol on my vety
Simply get Ordo Curios
i cant
i have to run CDR toughness and HP on everything because im a slave to statage
curse you Hadron
I haven't come across a surge staff with good stats like that 😭
That being said, would you guys use that over this one? I feel like the difference is neglible but the perks are a lot better.
I was excited, but it rolled so poorly otherwise. 🥲
crit flak is okay
dont really need mutie damage
i trust you with every fiber of my being im dumping all my resources to get a new void staff
I would never lead you astray
until I talk about anything but void where its 100% just my opinion
What ability do you pair witg Void?
I use vent
because creeping is just a shitton of free damage
shield is very comfy too tho
this is mine
Which shield do you use
it's alright
kinda wish I had flurry on it but the 2 shots... almost? makes up for it? sort of?
surge is better
Surge is fun
running with as close to a crit build as you can with psyker without going scrier
I use vent with it too
Fr tho, scryer gun psyker might be my fave playstyle
love gun/dueling sword scrier with laspistol
Its just so aggressive
yea and you are constantly moving at mach 5
or, at least I do because I also do disrupt destiny
zoom
space zorro
man even with scrier and crit aura i don't feel like i'm critting enough 
Disrupt Destiny is fun once you get high stacks
Get crit perks
Also a gun like Columnus IAG crits like crazy
trading 25% damage on carapace or flak for 5% crit doesn't sound like a good deal
You wanted to crit more didnt you
you dont really want carapace on iag anyway
esp on psyker you shouldnt be shooting them with iag since the damage is so bad
25% of small number is still a small number
this is my voidstrike its from a earlier time...
iag?
infantry autogun
oh
like columnus
i'm running scrier with surge staff
just built a new one, should I swap unarmored or elites? feel like probably elites
not playing gunsyker
only problem is with void you dont really have a problem 1 shotting unarmored
It works, somewhat.
good point yea
Consecration #1
20% Unarmored
dam u evil hadron
only problem of surge with scrier is that you dont benefit from the weakspot damage portion of it
doesnt scriers base buff weakspot damage?
maybe im thinking of dd
i usually run both
10% damage
Yes this was the case before patch #13, now you get up to 1.25x multiplicative damage against everything else than unarmoured and infested if your weapon already deals full damage with rending.
what I just ran in an auric rn
yeah so it kind of sucks that you're not benefiting from that, but it's not the end of the world
tbh i'd rather the 20% peril gen anyway
Do staffs increase peril venting rate?
it's much more useful to get to 30 stacks while I use surge staff in scrier
tbh, i wish that scriers could fully benefit more staffs than just voidstrike, kind of sucks that the others are left out. but i guess most people use it with guns so idk
and I wish my shadowplay had worked because then I'd have shown proper gameplay
i liked using voidstrike with scriers though
it hits crazy hard but you have to quell a ton
but it's nice that with staff quelling you can easily hit 30 stacks of scriers consistently
is it viable to go gun instead of staff?
with surge you also gotta nade cancel otherwise you can't keep up
tried without and i just get to 100% way too easily
if i nade cancel i can upkeep it for much longer
wdym by nade cancel?
i finally got the surge blessing for voidstrike and spent some time with it, and i have to say, voidstrike isn't as good as just bringing a revolver
like you press qq or g after casting the right click?
Do staffs increase quelling speed only when you hold them, or is it baseline?
when you hold them
stats from equipment only apply when the equipment is in your hands, seems to be the rule
Ok siblings I need some serious help. Any theories why at times Columbus gets increased reload speed here? It doesn't have speedloader and this seems to happen maybe once in two matches. Haven't been able to replicate this in Psych.
which is why you can do stuff like throw a bunch of assail darts then switch to a revolver for better crits or something
yeah hold on let me record it
Did you perhaps not fully reload it before switching?
Many weapons have shorter reload animations if you swapped out of them or did anything else while being in the middle of reloading.
So thats the trick that psykers use to one shot elites
huh thanks for recording
you can see I don't one shot mauler and crusher
this also gets you to the crit part faster
Yeah, i meant the smaller hp pool elites.
so more uptime on the evasive talent w/e it's named
Cannot be the case, I first shoot half a mag and then do a super fast reload without switching weapons
if you need 2 shot to kill something chances are the 2nd shot are gonna be from your teammate or you
but yeah this is pretty fun
They need to add Plasteel Curio Perks
Tyvm
ive experienced it too, doesnt seem reproducible consistently though
Wait what
Does surge make you only gain peril during the animation?
Consecration #2
T3 Slaughterer
Hadron is a fickle mistress
no you still gain peril but at a slightly lower %
and you get to the quell part faster
the peril ticks on ticking near the end of your surge animation
because it starts charging again
oh so fast tracks the damage tick
damn
not seeing any difference in terms of gained peril
Mk IV dueling sword chefs kiss
does empathetic evasion have an internal cooldown? I see perfect timing proc a lot but not evasion
Sorry how does qq cancelling work
I think grenade cancelling is faster now
g, 2
I see
I think it saves like 18 frames
Other than for surge, what does grenade cancelling give benefit?
which is quite a bit
So what makes gunpsyker worthwhile over just playing a vet?
Ehh I see
For the memes.
But handcannon assail is a very op build.
rmb release swap to blitz swap to staff
with blitz swap you don't have to release rmb, makes it much easier
sorry was in the middle of a game, this was with surge staff scrier build, never hit this high damage 
anyway i got a few clips
to showcase scrier surge
hold on
Any builds feel good besides assail? All staffs feel mid atm imo :/
Is there a use for grenade cancelling outside of the surge staff?
To be fair for staves to be good it has to be decently well rolled
so it's a pretty significant dmg buff and not too hard to do manually, like +20% dmg
as in, are there other weapons/skills that also get a benefit from grenade cancelling?
All staves are good but purg is worst imo.
wtf is grenade canceling
this one was pretty high panic
this one ended badly, not sure if it's because I immediately went to free the teammate, maybe i shoulda cleared the house more before.
That looks too hard to do man.
I'd just call it a day and play like a normal person. 
i mean
you're not wrong
so i'm not gonna go against that

but i think it's pertty fun to be able to use scrier as a "defensive" tool when paired with empathic evasion
second clip you see me stay in the open against all those rangeds it's pog
@slow raven @rare storm pinging for the showcase mid gameplay
is it viable to go gun instead of staff?
people usually do that with scrier yeah
yeah
Its viable but why would you
i barely use the staff 😄
Staffs the best part about Psyker imo
huh. Looks like a huge stress when something fucks up ngl

i use my staff to snipe far away stuff and a gun would prob do it better
here's one where i panic fuck up

can't lie this is a nice change of pace compared to ogryn shield gameplay though.
