psyker-class

[hollow jolt]

So the psyker gets thwacked

[shy hull]

Should I use some sort of communication as well with my team? Just to let em know what heads I want to pop

[pliant tendon]

it's the one that requires you to kill 4 elites/specialists within 12 seconds on heresy+

[hollow jolt]

Mark targets is good enough

Most teams don't mark in general

[pliant tendon]

with brain burst

[umbral helm]

you can turn while using it and make it chain to things near you, which I like to use to my advantage to push things away from me when I drop it

[hollow jolt]

Marking is basically "this target will die in 1 second flat" in practice

Idk why people don't mark more

Especially if you got some plasma vet

Its hilarious just marking target and see some pissmissile of a shot from a plasma slam a rager

[umbral helm]

also, yeah. not enough people mark stuff. everybody complains about not being able to see stuff through fire, so I always mark things through the flames

it's also useful sometimes just at a distance to get a better bead on a target. outline helps line up shots

[shy hull]

I'm still relatively new so I end up marking everything

[hollow jolt]

That's better than players in Auric Maelstrom

So you're already doing very well

[shy hull]

I think I'm just paranoid of my team getting killed by one scav gunner

That no one notices

[hollow jolt]

Most of the time, Vets just don't see the targets they need to kill

[shy hull]

Or a sniper

[hollow jolt]

So marking is super helpful

[umbral helm]

that being said, it is like a spectrum. you get people that mark nothing, and then also the inverse that spam ping everything. usually after getting shat on because they sprinted ahead recklessly

[shy hull]

I did have to learn how to mark demonhosts however.

Last time was a nightmare

[summer prairie]

ping spam is ideal

[shy hull]

3 veterans using their abilities all at once

They're bound to hit the thing

And boy was it angry

[umbral helm]

yeah, but not macro spam pinging through the same targets 20 times because their dumb ass ran in without the group and couldn't handle themselves, it's just salt on their end

[summer prairie]

I primarily spam for my own visibility and secondarily for everyone elses

[shy hull]

I sort of fall into the middle. But I spam if it's something like a mutie or a dog

Or God forbid a beast of nurgle

[umbral helm]

yeah, there's a clear difference between "hey, this is important" and someone just being salty they got clapped

[shy hull]

Yeah

Something I don't get however is that. While you rarely see anyone ping enemies.

NO ONE pings plassteel

[umbral helm]

best part is after doing it, it's a 70/30 whether they leave immediately/stay but then are petty the rest of the mission

[shy hull]

It's painful seeing your entire crew leave a big stash of it behind

That, or I just like collecting it

[pulsar flare]

As someone who recently picked up the plasma on my vet and fell in love with it, thank you for marking targets

[tawny pebble]

your truths hurt me

[tawny pebble]

I do it just because funny german man callouts never get old

[hollow jolt]

No problem comrade, mark ragers for death 💪

[tawny pebble]

ever and always

[hollow jolt]

Yeah I've started using purg staff so I can just solo clutch while still contributing

Its nice using one of the most durable builds for psyker compared to getting thwacked once by a rager and losing like 90 toughness

[tawny pebble]

What melee do you use alongside purg?

[hollow jolt]

Deimos

Its basically solely for killing ogryns and mutants

Ragers get the funny bees unless scab ragers

Then I pray Deimos is enough

Usually consists of me spamming the push attack and trying to kill them via burn

• marking for teammates

[tawny pebble]

Yeah, I'm a deimos simp myself

force special go brrr

Do you use BB or assail to cover lack of range, then?

Or do you bunker down with shield

[glossy ember]

i'd mark more but i panic easy

i got it on my scrollwheel tho

mid fight it's hard to mark

unless it's a huge tzrget like crusher

[glossy ember]

what's your tanky build?

im curious

i feel squishy

[tawny pebble]

likewise lol

[bright mica]

depends on what weapons/abilities you wanna run

[tawny pebble]

Usually I'm a smiter, but I'm trying to branch out from Nomanus in terms of staves

[bright mica]

hmm whenever I run surge I use combat knife to create distance instead of eating hits

then shriek for horde-clear

[tawny pebble]

Hmm, maybe I need to branch out from Deimos push for distance

[glossy ember]

hmmm... combat knife surge...... combat knife surge scrier.........

[shell igloo]

Anyone have a Scriers Gaze + Staff build they'd recommend?

[glossy ember]

[tawny pebble]

I have never seen a scrier build around and would love to tbh

[bright mica]

really just double shot voidstrike, usually you dont wanna cast during gaze in general

[bright mica]

I love my gaze build, let me switch characters and show you :P

[surreal hound]

Anyone have the soul blaze stacking maths?

[bright mica]

I like playing gunsyker but I only only only ever switch to it when I see a scavenger Vet

[past brook]

revovler works just fine for gunpsyker

just don't spam it for trash targets, assail does the trick for shooters

[bright mica]

🤢

[shell igloo]

Soulblaze from staff goes up to 16 stacks IIRC, one full charge with some crits can accomplish this. The thing to know is to apply soulblaze from other effects (like shriek) AFTER using purg, because that will let you exceed the max 16 stacks.

[tawny pebble]

This is obviously a noob-tell: is non-bubble telekine shield bad?

[shell igloo]

No, it's arguably at least as good for it's special-stuns utility

[surreal hound]

That's what I wanted to know like without purge staff the talents stack at a lower cap right?

[crisp yacht]

Some people like it. But requires more brain power to use effectively. So I use bubble shield

[past brook]

speaking of gunpsyker, this is what I run
hands-down my favorite psyker build to run, and maybe my favorite build overall to play
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9a7f2a32-8b31-4d45-9820-2fe533d63193

[tawny pebble]

I do like being able to stop a mutie in its tracks

just thought regen might arguably be more useful

[glossy ember]

wanna see me get carpal tunnel

[real wadi]

anybody help for the psyker peanace maleus

?

[tawny pebble]

LMAO

[shell igloo]

IMO, Bubble has a hidden benefit of providing a sort of rally point for your team to fight around, instead of spreading out

[past brook]

full auto mod FTW

[bright mica]

I run this with Dueling Sword Mk 4 (Rampage, Uncanny, Maniacs necessary for 1 shotting Mutants), and Columnus IAG (Dumdum + Blessing of choice, Flak/Maniac although perks are less necessary).

Horde-clear with sword, Uncanny Strike deals with Crushers and Maulers easily especially with Gaze. Columnus has immense DPS with Gaze as it has massive crit chains, giving you practically 80% crit chance (crouch for better accuracy). Smite just for clutch CC, revives, quick zapping dogs/trappers.

[glossy ember]

#psyker-class message

[bright mica]

Oh and for Curios 1 wound/2 toughness or triple toughness

[past brook]

I haven't found the mk4 sword to be particularly good at dealing with hordes

[bright mica]

Depends how confident you are.

[bright mica]

Just spam M1, with Rampage it's a blender, with Gaze it's a hot knife through butter.

It's no Purgatus or Creeping Flames but it's good enough

[tawny pebble]

that's dang insane

[shell igloo]

I always run toughness, Stam, and HP personally. I don't think Psykers have the luxury of getting extra wounds

[tawny pebble]

I need to work on quell-canceling Nomanus

it seems great for stunpoking but just haven't got it down yet 🙃

[bright mica]

If that works for you that's fine. I rarely worry about Bursters so I don't struggle with corruption. I don't need stamina on this build due to how Dueling Sword plays and Kinetic Deflection. So I run triple toughness as I rarely down.

[past brook]

alas I don't have rampage, I went with riposte because being able to consistently 1-shot crushers just feels so nice
assail still does hordes nicely when I need it

[bright mica]

I usually play at Auric Damnation so Assail runs dry on ammo before you make a dent. That said you can run Assail on this build if you prefer, it will aid in horde-clear and save you ammo on special sniping, but I adore Smite for it's CC.

Also fun fact, Dumdum procs stacks off of Soulblaze

so you'll be at max stacks without doing anything

[past brook]

I've tried smite, not really my cup of tea

[crisp yacht]

How do you use gaze? With shriek and bubble I'm pretty good at using when it's needed but gaze I'm not sure. Popping it frequently when there's at least medium threat units? Or do you pop it off cd pretty much?

[past brook]

assail has worked fine for me even in hi-int damnation, just need a little room to do it
and even when you run out of ammo, just swap to sword for a bit and you'll be back at max in no time

[tawny pebble]

the only reason i even spec stamina is so that I don't fall miserably behind everyone due to vets and ogryns being faster than sound

snail psyker, I am

Only just getting the hang of Deimos charged speed

[past brook]

zealots, you mean?

[tawny pebble]

Ah, probably

[past brook]

vets tend to be pretty slow unless you've got vanguard or have a commando-based build

[hollow jolt]

Purg staff hit many target + "crits give toughness and speed" + "crits give dodge" + "quell gives toughness" + etc

Its basically a crit purg staff build

That uses mind in motion to move and left click puff or deimos force push to stagger

[bright mica]

Usually the way you use it is supplement your melee horde-clear with Assail. Dump all your ammo, go back to melee, wait for reload, repeat

[past brook]

well ya

[bright mica]

I just don't find it necessary and I prefer clutch CC

[tawny pebble]

I do love CC

[past brook]

you do you

[hollow jolt]

REAL psykers don't need CC

Brb melee devil claw build time

Going to parry the world

[gleaming belfry]

how would you guys rate my gun psyker's force sword

[tawny pebble]

damn that's a lot of crit farm

[hollow jolt]

"Shred 4"

[tawny pebble]

shame about the finesse given it's crit focused, but the base damage is hoo

[hollow jolt]

I wish I had shred 4 :c

[glossy ember]

I see big units I need to kill fast, I pop it.

ragers, crushers, maulers

[hollow jolt]

Brb using gaze to kill poxwalkers UwU

[umbral helm]

I use sciers with my vraks on gunker along with warp charges to power up for stuff. pop sciers first, then get my charges and go to town gunning everything down. probably not super optimal but it does what I need it to

the node for peril reduction on gaining warp charge seems to help it a decent bit, keeps you in the gaze for a bit longer

[gleaming belfry]

true, and its so satisfying to use. if some1 told me 2 month ago i'd use combat axe voluntarily on a psyker for funsies (and its actually not bad at all) i would have laughed xD

[glossy ember]

say

does mind in motion affect other slowdowns

[gleaming belfry]

My Gunkers Gun's the biggest, all the ladies love it

[sonic whale]

Sorry to ask but anyone got a good build for the surge staff? I do want to be viable outside of just the staff though

[glossy ember]

that 3% in mobility....

so close, still a godroll

[gleaming belfry]

and only 4%crit chance

literally unplayable

😄

[hollow jolt]

Not from what I've seen

But there's weirder shit

Vet's Grenade Tinkerer talent gives stun immunity lol

[sonic whale]

Can someone help me judge if this is a good build? (Purely about the talents)
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a725089-271b-4c71-bee9-87441c83dea0/unlimited-power-surgesmitespammable-fire-shriek

[hollow jolt]

Just walk out of bomber fires because your grenades are better?

So probably some weird ass code Fatshark sneaked in there

[summer prairie]

drop warp battery and get perfect timing for more reliable damage

[sonic whale]

Where is perfect timing again in the tree?

[summer prairie]

top right

[sonic whale]

Also no Battle Meditation?

[summer prairie]

no

[royal granite]

you absolute insanodad what is your secret

[sonic whale]

Now odd question time, what gives a vibe of 'I electrocute people to death' The best?

[clear pumice]

WHATS THE BEST STATS FOR SURGE STAFF?

[bleak tulip]

equip purg or something like that and go fast eat ass in Hi tbh

thats how I did it but that was like last year

fire reborn purg and creeping flames and play hi damnation or something so there is zero downtime

[rare storm]

dmg/charge/warp resist/quell/crit

Ehhh last 3 is preference I guess, but prioritise dmg and charge

[royal granite]

that would work last year, but currently you lose all your charges if you use your ability, and going into hi damnation with no intent to ever press that button feels like a bad idea

[clear pumice]

do you have an example?

im kinda new

[rare storm]

From most important(left) to least(right)

[royal granite]

i really need fatshark to stop making penances that require you to play badly on purpose

[bleak tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1170852260427858011/image.png?ex=655a8c24&is=65481724&hm=4e3b654d14d4151a679aa8e2fb432cbbbb6dc80e5bc2b7afb91048af9e8f5638& I use this

[rare storm]

Damn... Waiting for this to pop up

[bleak tulip]

fair enough but hi int isnt that hard tbh

[sonic whale]

Could work tbh, fitting head

[royal granite]

the forehead purity seals look like braided bangs

it's cute

[bleak tulip]

ye c:

[rare storm]

I wanted to just crit more so I went with this

[bleak tulip]

the hats in the store as we talked about yesterday when we drip posted

[royal granite]

wish the chest was too

[rare storm]

but better to have more warp resist than crit

[lusty acorn]

I always go for quell speed

[royal granite]

i bought the hat but couldn't find anything to go with it

[sonic whale]

I do like the blind eye and burn scars with this, as it looks like the psyker is trying their best to hide their scars

[rare storm]

but hoho... As you know... it's cheaper in a set

[bleak tulip]

yeah

[rare storm]

Gotta spend my prembux wisely

[lusty acorn]

anyone willing to help me get the Malleus Monstonium penance?

[rare storm]

Also I use this, just has the lightning/rouge kinda vibe

[royal granite]

i still haven't even tried monstronum, it looks like such a fucking pain

[limber tartan]

Actually its not a big deal

[summer prairie]

going from 60 crit to 80 is +4% crit chance, pretty decent.

[limber tartan]

Just get into a party with an ogryn with a slab shield

[rare storm]

You just need friends

[sonic whale]

I personally dislike the hobo psyker style, it's good but I like the minor flash that the others have

[limber tartan]

Let him agro a demon host and you just bb it away

[royal granite]

SIBLING

[rare storm]

[rare storm]

HOHO SIBLING

[limber tartan]

Just mindcontrol

[lusty acorn]

I dont have friends but the drip is calling me

[rare storm]

It's okay I don't have either

[gleaming belfry]

we should do a fashion contest

[royal granite]

summon friends from the warp

[rare storm]

I managed to do it by asking random pubs if they can help me

took me a few days to find people but it worked out lol

[limber tartan]

It is a pain that i have missed this hat in the shop

[royal granite]

you can't do monstronum with pubs anymore

has to be a premade

[rare storm]

oh what the hell

[lusty acorn]

reminds me of the spanish inquisition

[limber tartan]

Yea it has to be a private game

[rare storm]

Okay to be fair the last time I played this game (before patch 13) was beta > release (1month ish)

[gleaming belfry]

òla

[limber tartan]

We're still in beta

[rare storm]

shii

[lusty acorn]

I got the game a couple of days ago and accidentally got the pants that go with the mostronum shirt

[clear pumice]

thanks

[near wyvern]

I would have picked up this hat if it didn't have the veil

[royal granite]

honestly i think the monstronum looks kinda shit, not because of any quality inherent to it, but just because there isn't a single legpiece that goes well with it

you always end up with too much armour up top and not enough on the legs

[lusty acorn]

yeah I agree

but I like silver and black

[gleaming belfry]

Ah dont worry lots of FS reskins incoming sooner or later veilless option too

😂

[rare storm]

I like it as some sort of reject that got thrown out to survive on their own cause this mofo's crazy

[lusty acorn]

I believe that most psykers are hobos

[sonic whale]

Okay I don't want to be harsh, but the single colour hood on this looks hot

[near wyvern]

So true, reskins and re-textures for 10€ each

[wheat storm]

guys, is this shit good?

[near wyvern]

Meh

[royal granite]

harsh?

[sonic whale]

If the damage was higher yes

[clear pumice]

is this a good start

[rare storm]

I think it's like 100k in the commissary

[sonic whale]

Harsh to @rare storm

[royal granite]

oh ok

[clear pumice]

i spent like 150k maKING STAVES

[rare storm]

hey man, my hood cost me 500k dockets

[storm hound]

Heresy difficulty and what ever mission had that symbol that you get lots of specialists, cant remember the name, got it at the beginning of the map too

[sonic whale]

Yeah it is, I was looking at it, was thinking to grab it

[rare storm]

I WILL NOT TAKE THIS SLANDER

[wheat storm]

rate 1-10

[rare storm]

You should get to lv30 first before aiming for good bases

[royal granite]

krieg/10

[clear pumice]

OK

caps

[sonic whale]

Put Krieger trousers on then your set

[wheat storm]

they look ass

[bleak tulip]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1170858493721452644/image.png?ex=655a91f2&is=65481cf2&hm=5f4e7f7b80c9eb3af72709a56c7f9f2444fc34b78265f3e7e899a159e1d3402a&

the only drip

[sonic whale]

They look fine

[rare storm]

The stats are based off of your level so anytime you make a new char, level up all the way first

[royal granite]

i'd really like the krieg chestpiece if it didn't say KRIEG in big letters on the shoulder

[sonic whale]

I do wish we had a 'lesser' psyker armour that is closer to a guardsmen with psyker powers so that helmet could fit

It looks a little goofy sadly

[bleak tulip]

it just looks very silly overall

I dont know if there is any fixing that

[clear pumice]

oh i didnt know that

[rare storm]

It's kinda alright with the penance armors tho

[sonic whale]

It's due to it being grey and non-fancy with the rest of the fancy psyker armour

[rare storm]

yeah that's true

I guess this is the closest to the "least" armor

[near wyvern]

Dafuq is this ugliness

Bring back shirtless FFS

Ogryns were so bootiful

[rare storm]

Experimental fashion

[rare storm]

Why did they remove this anyway

Was it some bug

[bleak tulip]

yeah it was a bug

[rare storm]

aw look at im

[near wyvern]

Yes. And GW probably doesn't approve such thing.

[rare storm]

Sucks

[near wyvern]

The funny part is there exist tattoos and shit that someone spent work time on but it's impossible to see them as there are no cosmetics that would allow them to be visible

[rare storm]

They probably might make it a paid option in the future

[rare storm]

Yeah the ogryn has a sick ass dragon sleeve that wraps around the arm to the shoulder

But now I can only see the dragon's ass

and not the head... WHICH IS AT THE SHOULDER

[glossy ember]

gotta let them folks know

[near wyvern]

I have the feeling if that would be the case it would have already been implemented as the community was super vocal about our opinion on the matter

[glossy ember]

except the ogryns, doubt they can read

[frank moat]

𝔎𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔤 🤓

[acoustic path]

Tattoos tell a story even if you can’t see them, it’s ultimately a personalization that means little to gameplay

[rare storm]

Shit sucks

[rare storm]

There are people who just get tats cause it looks nice with no meaning at all

[idle bay]

Shirtless Ogryns are too sexy - too much masculinity - fragily sexuality of GW can't handle it

[acoustic path]

True, but even with the purpose of looking cool, the figure in question still has that meaning even if it means little to the wearer.

[cinder moon]

allegedly GW was the entire reason for shirtless being removed

[strong gulch]

It me. I have an outline of a fish swimming after a mole like it's a piece of food.

[acoustic path]

The only character I could see going shirtless is zealot

[rare storm]

HAHAHAHAH holy shit that is good

[round summit]

am i heretic for playing with revolver?

[royal granite]

no

revolver is blessed

[round summit]

smite devilclaw and revo

[rare storm]

Ehh, personally if it has no meaning to the person who got it, and somebody tries to throw meaning to it doesn't make sense

[cinder moon]

revolver/dueling sword is a vibe

[rare storm]

but if that's how you see it, then that's fine

[round summit]

devilclaw bd?

[rare storm]

Just for me, my random tats are just... Random

[frank moat]

Pretty badass, I know

[acoustic path]

It’s not a situation of throwing meaning into it if it already had that meaning, the reasoning is what you’re looking at in that scenario

[acoustic path]

Put some pants on

[frank moat]

No

[cinder moon]

yoho

[rare storm]

I did not notice that

how the hell do you have no pants

[frank moat]

But yea, For The Drip has shirtless and pantsless toggles now

[rare storm]

oh shit

I might actually download it then

[near wyvern]

Why you have smite and devil's claw? Those are both horde clear tools

[frank moat]

Though almost all of Psyker’s pants have no top seam with the shirtless body and it looks wack

Vet is fine but Psyker is pretty ehhhh

[idle bay]

Claw is also show-off tool. To kill mini-bosses with parry only

[frank moat]

Also I swear on the Emperor, these are the most detailed foot models I’ve ever seen in a video game

It’s so nasty and gnarled

[rare storm]

[cinder moon]

why are you looking at their feet

[wet belfry]

I dont think smite can even qualify as horde clear

[strong gulch]

I mean , people can assign meanings to things all of the time. Someone can pull things from a text beyond the intention or scope an author or writer had. Kinda how texts work.

Tattoos are a text imo.

But that's not relevant to this channel.

[frank moat]

Because you can’t go pant less without also having no shoes 😫

[rare storm]

next mod update, pantsless but with shoes

[sonic whale]

Just saw a dripped out Zealot

[frank moat]

Probably actually though soon enough

[strong gulch]

rectangles

[wheat storm]

zealot is most undrippy class imo

[cinder moon]

that zealot is going to tenderise some chicken

[wheat storm]

cuz this bag of potato on head is 💩

[cinder moon]

this is my favorite zealot outfit

most of the clothing is bad

[idle bay]

Zealot outfit game needs

[strong gulch]

am a moth

[frank moat]

Reminds me of Django 🤔

[glossy ember]

isn't smite more of a horde hold tool

i run smite devil claw too

but it's just to get that -5% peril gen node

[acoustic path]

Do you have a photo, just for inquisitorial reference? It’s for the ordo

[frank moat]

I feel like I’d risk a ban posting them here

[near wyvern]

No if you build it right

[hollow jolt]

Smite needs damage

[idle bay]

Well ogryns have legit barefooted models here... so. Postwhatever 🙂

[hollow jolt]

Let me pop a Beast of Nurgle

[round summit]

just kinda want the deflect

[idle bay]

Kill DH with just ~~Deflects ~~parry 🙂

[rare storm]

I 2nd this

For uh

For the Emperor

[glossy ember]

oh fair i guess if you go for ep flaming shriek ?

[umbral helm]

actually have done that. though it wasn't focused on me, but I was just jumping in front of the person it was focused on going "HIT ME, COME ON YOU BASTARD, HIT ME"

[idle bay]

So no one ever-ever-ever uses Damaging Shriek ?

[glossy ember]

i'll be honest my choices for my build rn are assail or smite and both aren't getting any extra point

[round summit]

i use revo for big targets

[glossy ember]

smite's utility probably better overall. Lets me get that node on the left too

[frank moat]

Let it be known that I post this image under duress

[umbral helm]

I just pick stuff, run it in a mission, and if it don't feel right after a few I change it up

[idle bay]

That character need to see a orthopedist

[vestal fulcrum]

Hm. Should I grab this?

[tawny raptor]

fellas, trauma or voidstrike?

[vestal fulcrum]

Trauma, probably.

[tawny raptor]

im running smite

[vestal fulcrum]

I can't carry with Voidstrike

[idle bay]

If you can handle Trauma's targeting withough smashing your screen in frustration after 5 minutes - then Trauma

[plucky flax]

Not bad. Low warp resis will help you get to high peril for creeping flame.

[tawny raptor]

i havent used voidstrike or trauma much, may i ask why trauma is better?

[glossy ember]

https://tenor.com/view/rsx4-gif-21328683

[acoustic path]

By the golden throne

[umbral helm]

both blow things up, just differently

[idle bay]

You cab stop the heaviest tide. Bulwark/Maulers/Crushers push - will be put on thier asses immidiately. And you can still kill things... at slow pace

[tawny raptor]

how about in terms of damage?

[vestal fulcrum]

Would rather have Flak instead of Maniac

But this will do, I suppose

[plucky flax]

You can still put flak on.

And flurry.

[tawny raptor]

gotcha, but i have smite which stops them anyway so should i run voidstrike just for ranged foes?

[vestal fulcrum]

Yeah, I know, but I'd rather have Maniac as the flexible perk instead of Flak

In any case, solid result in the end

[plucky flax]

Although these days I was to play purg I use my flak unyielding one.

[idle bay]

Try both options - see what fits you most 🙂

[plucky flax]

Since our monster damage is so bad.

[tawny raptor]

i fucking hate trauma

i fucking hate aiming with it

[vestal fulcrum]

:)

[tawny raptor]

it sucks ass

[idle bay]

Same. I only play it for self-torture.

[plucky flax]

Trauma gamers are built different.

[umbral helm]

"it's all in the flick of the wrist"

[tawny raptor]

how does surge compare with voidstrike?

[idle bay]

Mine Surge staff melted to my hands long ago .. so IDK 🙂

[acoustic path]

This would be better with 5% crit chance, but both blessings are kino

[harsh urchin]

Surge is op if you're using the bug, pretty meh-average if not

Voidstrike is pretty good

[tawny raptor]

theres a bug?

[harsh urchin]

Yeah that lets u do double dmg

[gleaming belfry]

Gamers with childhood traumas are built different

[plucky flax]

[idle bay]

Wrong. Surge is awesome without a bug. Just needs damage stacking at it melts

[acoustic path]

Surge is good without the bug 100% agree

[umbral helm]

if you can maintain your stacks, DD can do some funny things with surge

[acoustic path]

Needs a bit of extra chain damage

[glossy ember]

luv me surge

[vestal fulcrum]

I'll see how it fares with Flak - Crit chance certainly is an option, too

[idle bay]

Aslo with Surge rolled likje this - others staffs are just trash

[harsh urchin]

Lol

[idle bay]

Crit and damage stacking on warp charges and Perfect timing and it melts 🙂

[harsh urchin]

I mean it just performs subpar after the crusher/rager health buffs

[glossy ember]

disagree

other staffs good too

[harsh urchin]

If you wanna smoke da copium go for it

Its definitely still useable

But its pretty average

[umbral helm]

isn't that all it needs to be, realistically?

[glossy ember]

i could go for a carapace buff really, that's all i ask for surge

[idle bay]

I detect skill issue. You simply don;t know how to use it right

[plucky flax]

[harsh urchin]

probably i'm bad lol

[sonic whale]

He's got the cool hood, I would like it at somepoint

[glossy ember]

he looks like those pets with the cone to stop their head from moving

[static needle]

How do you fastest complete the cliffhanger penance?

[sonic whale]

[idle bay]

Just average dmnation mission with surge staff and smite - no EP bug (warp charges and Perfect timing).

[sonic whale]

Ammo mission at the end, ask the team if it's alright before trying though as it's literally right before the aircraft for extract

[harsh urchin]

just a normal 5 though lol

[idle bay]

Yes it can even do boss damage

[harsh urchin]

not even auric 😛

[sonic whale]

The Mini bridge there can be used to shriek then melee push them off the bridge

[glossy ember]

what

[idle bay]

I have day job thank you. No need to do some extra sweating after work 🙂

[glossy ember]

[harsh urchin]

lol alright then

[sonic whale]

The nice thing is it's all enclosed at the back

[glossy ember]

Pretty sure unyielding is not great on surge

[bleak tulip]

toilet bowl gaming

[plucky flax]

Maybe I should make an update 1.2.3 surge build video.

[harsh urchin]

it's not bad

it's just not... good

very average

as I said before

[glossy ember]

whats 123

[idle bay]

Void feel too slow, Trauma feels to clunky.

Only Plasma gun feels good

Decet Plasma gun user leaves psykers without elite/special kills

2 good Plasma users turn Damnation into Sedition

[umbral helm]

if it kills, good enough

[acoustic path]

Flak crit is my go to

[frank moat]

There are also gold and dark iron variants of that headgear btw

[plucky flax]

It's the current game build.

[acoustic path]

Maniac is usually a melee or blitz thing

[glossy ember]

oh

[wet belfry]

Plasma must be pretty bad then.

[plucky flax]

Because if I linked my old surge video ppl would say it's patch 13 and elites didn't get buff.

So surge without bug is super trash.

[glossy ember]

just link ur 1b trauma video

tell the surge nerds to reroll

[idle bay]

Plasma gun buffed so much that i don;t understand why Forum Karens Team not creating dozens of posts with demand to nerrf it

[harsh urchin]

how many surge charges does it take to kill a rager and a crusher?

[plucky flax]

Well a guy earlier said my video was shit and its all because of the build. Blaze trauma didn't do anything.

[harsh urchin]

iirc post patch, I dont think you can kill a crusher without venting down

[plucky flax]

So blaze trauma is shit too.

[harsh urchin]

you need to pew pew pew, vent, pew pew

to kill 1 crusher

iirc

i might be wrong tho

[plucky flax]

Crusher it's 4. Rager it's 2.

[frank moat]

Is that with EP?

[glossy ember]

not 3 for crushers?

[willow hazel]

without

[idle bay]

It requires participation from the team. You knoch crushers on their asses - team kills them.

[plucky flax]

No without ep.

[frank moat]

Pog

[plucky flax]

With ep it's 2 shots crusher xd

[glossy ember]

yeah without ep should be 3

[willow hazel]

It can kill a Crusher in 3, but usually 4

[glossy ember]

not 4

[umbral helm]

a detail often forgotten, in the vacuum of number crunching

[glossy ember]

with warp stacks tho

[willow hazel]

It depends on damage buffs and crits

[plucky flax]

Nah I kill everything with my blaze trauma. 1375k damage in 31 mins go brrrrrrr

[glossy ember]

but you almost always got stacks so

i'll check my breakpoints when i get home

[idle bay]

I still can't roll one. Hadron being extra a-hole this week

[frank moat]

Is it worth building a Blaze Trauma if I don’t wanna use Venting Shriek?

[plucky flax]

Blaze trauma is the hardest weapon to get a good roll so it's okay.

Keep suffering.

[plucky flax]

Imo no.

[frank moat]

Figured as much

Sadge

[willow hazel]

Why would you not want to run Venting Shriek?

[umbral helm]

variety, perhaps

[frank moat]

Because I got bored of it after the last year of only using it

And rectangle shield funny

[shell igloo]

To run...either of the other two perfectly valid abilities

[idle bay]

It's possible to kill Crusher with 4 Surges. Just need warp charges, PT, and crits 🙂

[glossy ember]

you mean 3 yes

[idle bay]

It's very low chance to kill with 3. Need 3 crits while righting closew to 100% peril

[glossy ember]

crits almost get you to two but not quite

no???

[harsh urchin]

the problem is

that if you're running WC

you kinda dont want to press F

[umbral helm]

that's also assuming you're the only one killing said crusher or anything else, which realistically in a mission you're not going to be, or at least I'd hope you're not. so it ends up evening out in the end

[glossy ember]

oh do you not have carapace 20%

[idle bay]

Also i don;t run carapace on my Surge.. so. Had to make hard chouices...

[glossy ember]

fair

i have carapace on mine

[idle bay]

With Carapace i think 3 is possible

[shell igloo]

Potentially dumb question, but can Assail crit?

[strong gulch]

I like your videos. 🥺

That guy can eat peanut shells.

[idle bay]

Yes! Crit chards have purple trail

[glossy ember]

you know you said my gameplay looked abnormal but trauma staff looks just as "on cocaine"

[plucky flax]

It's still easier than doing blitz cancel meme.

[glossy ember]

not that it's a bad thing

[plucky flax]

Tbh you don't need quell cancel with trauma.

[willow hazel]

It's kinda the opposite with Creeping Flames. Pressing F twice is really strong

[plucky flax]

Just right click spam is still really good damage.

[glossy ember]

have u tried blitz cancelling trauma

[strong gulch]

Especially don't quell cancel trauma if you mess it up easily.

Quelling instead of casting can get you smashed.

[static needle]

why does psyker's ability look blue in this clip?

[strong gulch]

Huh. I just used purg it felt alright. The staff is so lukewarm and cold for me.

Think it comes down to team comp for me.

[plucky flax]

Let me show you a relic from the past
https://youtu.be/T3gdcwLJV4E

[frank moat]

Pre-patch 13

[umbral helm]

it's blueberry flavored

one of those hexagon shaped fruit gushers

[blazing echo]

This doesnt specifically say melee attacks but it does mean just them right?

[harsh urchin]

no

it should be everything afaik

cuz power is applied

to your character

as a buff

[blazing echo]

that pairing any AoE staff tho?

[harsh urchin]

not sure if it'll work with staff, the stacks might drop if you weapon swap

[glossy ember]

patch 14 shield ogryn gameplay be like

[harsh urchin]

but if you use shriek while the buff is up, you should deal extra damage with it

[clear heath]

It should only have an affect if the weapon is out

[strong gulch]

IDK is rampage is only when melee is out, but 3 seconds is a small window.

So yeah, you'd have to use something really quickly.

[plucky flax]

The shield is strong but the attack speed when not at 5 keystone stack is so slow.

[blazing echo]

This is Final Fantasy levels of ridiculous

[wheat storm]

are those stats good for laz pistol

[strong gulch]

Riposte is easier to do in regards to swapping.

edit: lol wtf is swamping

[harsh urchin]

uncanny + rampage/riposte/precog

based on your personal preference

[glossy ember]

unfortunately yeah. Weapon needed a downside tho

[harsh urchin]

usually people run cara + x; where x is whatever you want, beit flak/maniac/etc

cara kills maulers/crushers

[blazing echo]

havent decided which way to go with this, works just fine right now tho

charged heavy boop on the snoot of a mutie sends em straight to sleep

[wheat storm]

are those stats good?

for lazpistol

idk fr

[harsh urchin]

I would aim for better stopping power

damage/SP are your damage stats, so you dont really want to skimp on those

[ionic needle]

I'd say it's good, not the best, but good

Not great, not terrible

[crisp yacht]

Change sprint to flak or maniac imo

[still hearth]

The shield already has downsides

[olive ember]

Clearly someone’s never played monster hunter

[glossy ember]

woa

[still hearth]

Sad two bad rolls though

[glossy ember]

true but it's still impressive

[still hearth]

I mean T2 Warp Nexus is ok

Idk. The shield is kinda just a worse weapon and the shield parts aren't super useful

Except in very niche situations

[wheat storm]

is this good?

[still hearth]

Not amazing

[glossy ember]

worst case scenario i'd have 1 godawful roll, 1 decent 2 good after maxing it

[still hearth]

332 base rating is pretty low. Both perks are bad and the blessing is alright at best

[glossy ember]

still a good starting staff since I have no void staves anyway

[glossy ember]

disagree, it's pretty strong on hordes and does a decent job vs maulers/ragers. Sure it doesn't have the ttk of a club but it has pretty good horde killing power and nutty stagger.

[still hearth]

Nutty stagger doesn't mean anything on Ogryn

[wheat storm]

what perks do i pick

[still hearth]

That's basically all Ogryn weapons

[glossy ember]

true

[still hearth]

It's just a worse weapon that can block boolets in my eyes

It's not unusable now

And the blocking boolets part is kinda

Ehh

Especially since enemies don't treat it as cover for allies and just shoot through the shield

[glossy ember]

i'd like to think it's a bit more than unusable

[still hearth]

I mean it's basically just worse than the other melees overall

[glossy ember]

considering my average games with it are at 300k+ total damage, with usually 200k from shield

dunno man, shovel feels worse than shield for me

i've had way worse performances with shovel than shield

haven't tried clubs/knives yet though

[sonic whale]

Maybe I'm too used to the warp charges but EP seems kinda meh

[shell igloo]

Do not denegrate yourself to the wielding of such primitive implements sibling

[glossy ember]

spark 'ead i started as an oggy main but honestly tempted to switch to psyker main

[sonic whale]

Or is it just not good with Smite?

[sonic whale]

Do whichever you find the most fun

[glossy ember]

yeah i like both

ogryn's pretty relaxing

but psyker makes the adrenaline pump

[plucky flax]

I don't want your kind here.

[glossy ember]

Or any mods tbh

[glossy ember]

you're a brave man

[plucky flax]

Must get all the mods.

[glossy ember]

i respect it

[sonic whale]

I just look at the mods and go "They don't seem all too game changing or important"

[glossy ember]

no more plasteel to gamba but

[idle bay]

Thouhg some mods , like Healthbars are quite impactful

[glossy ember]

im positive i'll get an awful blessing

[idle bay]

Just one more mission ™ and gamble away 🙂

[chrome linden]

duelling sword or diemos?

[idle bay]

Deimos is niche Mutie slayer and boss damage. Dueling sword - I'M THE SPEEED!

[still hearth]

Dueling Sword is basically a better Deimos

[hollow jolt]

Extended Weapon customization mod UwU

[idle bay]

SInce you can poke to death in the head anything

[bitter coral]

Deimos knocks over heading crushers on their ass with heavy 2 to the head which is very funny

[idle bay]

It removes fear of maulers and crushers puching on you. Also quick-poke (special) charging rager and it stops!

[hollow jolt]

I want the force push though :c

[wheat storm]

the fuck is this

[idle bay]

Force push is addictive - hard to let it go

[hollow jolt]

The Omnissiah's Will

[wheat storm]

kitchen knife for space marines?

[still hearth]

I wish that the Laspistol force push was fixed so it actually pushes flak

[silk hawk]

The heck is that? Ogryn psyker dagger xD?

[hollow jolt]

Discord pls I'm trying to shitpost

[idle bay]

For Kyles with energy drinks through IV

[hollow jolt]

Na that's this UwU

[hollow jolt]

Just for you

Discord shit itself trying to send that pic lol

[idle bay]

A proper knife for a psyker 🙂

[hollow jolt]

Indeed

Its hilarious on guns because it will affect your sights

The Omnissiah's personal weapon

[analog agate]

Friggin reddit guys. Some guy is trying to say surge and smite do the same thing.

[near wyvern]

Nah you go flame shreik with warp siphons, inner tranq, in fire reborn and battery, wildfire and perilous combustion and battle meditation. Deals a ton of damage while holding everything in place for just the right amount of time.

Other option is to do EP Smite but then you can't freely use it outside of hordes.

[glossy ember]

6 warp charges, 0 Perfect Timing stacks breakpoints:
4: Reaper (1 crit), Bulwark, Crusher (30 hp left)
3: Reaper(3 crits), Crusher (1 crit), Maniac Rager(200 hp left), Mauler
2: Mauler (2 crits), Maniac rager (1 crit), Flamethrowers, Flak rager, dog, unarmoured Gunner (155 hp left)
1: Shotgunners, Flak Gunner, Flamethrowers (1 crit), Dog (1 crit), Trapper

Perfect timing or Scrier's Gaze helps quite a lot on many breakpoints here: Maulers, maniac ragers, unarmoured gunner, flamethrowers, dog, crusher, reaper all end up needing one less crit or no crit at all, or go one lower in breakpoint.

anyway just wanted to test that out

removed both perilous combustion and perfect timing to not have inaccurate tests

it was actually a struggle to test non crit breakpoints because I kept fucken critting

[hollow jolt]

Its just a slight damage difference UwU

Literally the same

[fresh reef]

man

[limber tartan]

I exclusively run curios with 3 stamina blessings

I will never stop and my guard will never be broken

[glossy ember]

i hope you run block efficiency, sprint efficiency and stam regen on all three

[limber tartan]

I run sprint efficiency, stamina regen and more monehy

[glossy ember]

based

[hollow jolt]

I run curios with cooldown reduct because fuck I love peril exploding 😩

Edging Tzeentch is my psyker's favorite hobby

[umbral helm]

my friend that runs Vet a lot and loves Deadshot said he was considering running a bunch of stamina curios and perks and stacking all that together, for the funny

the more blips on the stamina bar the better

[harsh urchin]

stam regen perk on curio is pretty good on vet

[chrome linden]

would you be able to explain this?

i dont understand

[harsh urchin]

it's an opinion

deimos is still quite good

just use what you prefer

[idle bay]

Only thing that Deimos lacks - hordeclear. But single targewt pokes damage is so great that it does not matter

[umbral helm]

I ran deimos for a while because I liked ignoring armor with the special, and doing drive-by's on charging muties

matador psyker with the mutant as the bull

[crimson remnant]

Best blessings on deimos?

Ill try to make one

[idle bay]

Uncanny and Unstable

[weary idol]

am I crazy or is disrupt destiny like a really good consistent damage bonus

[harsh urchin]

how consistent is it?

is it as consistent as WC?

[weary idol]

in my experience more so since I don't have to be afraid of using my F ability and deleting all my damage boosts

[spice veldt]

the damage bonus is appreciable when it's up

[harsh urchin]

yeah but how consistent is it?

[spice veldt]

esp if running finesse weapons that benefit from it

[chrome linden]

what would put the dueling sword above the foce sword thenm?>

[weary idol]

well according to the score board mod I usually have ~600 crits/headshots every round of damnation so...

and I just shoot the blue dudes

I can't exactly test in the psykhanium because it doesn't work in there for some unknowable reason

[umbral helm]

DD needs to have its visual bugs fixed, but it's nice if you can keep the stacks up

[weary idol]

Yeah I definitely noticed that trash mobs don't always show the visual indicator

and also sometimes killing one enemy gives multiple stacks

[umbral helm]

one of the nodes gives an additional two if it's a weakspot kill

[weary idol]

well that shows my reading comprehension

I clicked the funny node and didn't read it

[umbral helm]

ye, though it does seem a little inconsistent currently, because there are times where I swear I killed them with a weakspot and it just didn't give it, but eh

[weary idol]

that could also be fatshark's garbage hit detection

[spice veldt]

turning off invisibility lets enemies get marked

[weary idol]

I cannot tell you the amount of frustration I've had clicking enemies heads seeing the laspistol shot go into their skull, hearing the headshot noise, and seeing the blood splatter

and it just...doesn't do any damage

[glossy ember]

nurgle protects?

[weary idol]

fatsharks' diseased servers sure protect them

[umbral helm]

I remember I had a mission as zealot recently, charged up the thunder hammer, ran in, swung, hit connected and even did the thunderclap and all, enemy just... didn't care

just stood there staring at me like I'd hit him with a rubber mallet

[idle bay]

Is there any reasonable exvuse/bug/exploit to use Warp Rupture ?

[limber tartan]

Deadshot is amazing on vet, i run 9 stamina with mk3 helbore, one shots everything but monsters and bosses

[umbral helm]

pyrophobia

[limber tartan]

I feel like it happens sometimes with guns too i do get the hit sound but no hit indicator and damage was dealt as if the shot "glanced"

[crimson remnant]

When is the next comms from the devs? Taking só long

[idle bay]

Psyker with 9 stamina from curios +2 stamina from weapon and using FS and stacked 20% + 12%*3 Block efficiency and KD node should in theory can have a very cheap Peril cost for blocking... Though there is no point going there 🙂

[umbral helm]

pointless, but nonetheless interesting to know

like me downloading the scoreboard mods to see all the numbers. I won't make use of any of the information they give me, but I like statistics

[idle bay]

Long before it was possible to have Passive peril quelling while blocking with Kinetic Deflection and with certain build Psyker was able to passivly tank DH. Now you need to dodge once in a while to do infinite DH tanking

[hollow jolt]

Pacifist Psyker that just tries to push and dodge across the map UwU

[shell igloo]

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with this sentiment

[idle bay]

Yes! Build just for that role. And Deflector Blessing to ingore shots as well. Pacifist run

[cosmic sigil]

Imagine doing the same with a bolter at close range (like 2m). Feeeeels bad.

(or a revolver, happened to me 2 or 3 times yesterday)

[umbral helm]

I've tanked DH a few times as psyker, sometimes willingly. do the tango with dodging and blocking, let the killy people do the killing

[hollow jolt]

3 stealthfield zealots just to mass revive each other

[umbral helm]

it's like a dance, just gotta know the steps

[idle bay]

DH have very discernable attack pattern

and KD allows to slack a lot while doing so

[umbral helm]

ye, they're a fun dance partner. plague ogryns too

[idle bay]

Parry kill of Chaos spawn with Claw 🙂 Someone had fun.
https://youtu.be/tO9UMtD_9nY

[olive heart]

Heya guys! New player here was going to start psyker any good tips on playing or tree to go any help would be great

[idle bay]

Why DH despawns in Meatgrinder even when you have Invisbility and invulnerability off? Or you need to have extra bot spawned there?

[crisp yacht]

Soul blaze talent on top left is gud. Assail op when you have the points to grab it.

[umbral helm]

play the role of a chef adding cocaine to every dish

[near wyvern]

Yeah, don't blow up

[queen fog]

Don’t be deterred by the lack of psyker specific stuff at low level, I recommend grabbing a revolver as quick as possible

Real handy and quick ranged weapon to compliment ur powers

[wide galleon]

how else will you flame and gatekeeper casual players in a casual game

[umbral helm]

the funny thing is I don't even know what you're supposed to take from the scores it gives you, they're all over the place

defense score is higher than my total score, what did they mean by this

dunno, don't care. but they're fun to look at anyway

[near wyvern]

This kinda makes me want to create a fifth character, a pacifist psyker. Only blocking, pushing and throwing domes

[sonic whale]

Run and gun on a staff is pointless right?

[harsh urchin]

not necessarily

[sonic whale]

Kinda able to do this with Smite as long as you let go every other second as it applies a push when you let go

[umbral helm]

lets you be a little more mobile while firing, but I believe the general opinion is that there's better options

[harsh urchin]

run and gun now provides a 10% damage buff

[sonic whale]

I just don't see myself doing this:

[torn palm]

Yeah its not useless but there are much better options

[harsh urchin]

which may beat out other options in certain cases

[umbral helm]

be kinda funny to see a psyker going for movement speed buffs and stamina, just firing the whole mission, never stopping

[sonic whale]

https://youtu.be/pOzSoOr4mt0?t=23

Basically I don't see my self with my staff doing this

[hollow jolt]

The special attack for buffed

Don't be a coward

Hit them

[dark stag]

is this good or meh

[sonic whale]

Hmm?

Oh

😆

Yeah tbh if I can staff melee while running I'll try it

[wind halo]

Bruh how do people deal with the targeting on Surge Staff? Aimed 3 charged shots at a Scab Flamer in a horde, its still alive after

[hollow jolt]

That's the spirit sibling

[sonic whale]

I really like how Gandalf puts his staff under his armpit and starts using the sword, kind of wish we could have those kind of "Keep the weapon on person at hand."

I would really love a game like that, even if it's not in view of the player in 1st person, other players can see it still

Odd tangent but it's like GTA and the pistols in Darktide and many other games, I want to one handed run around

Also damn she looks on point

[umbral helm]

think really hard about where you want it to go, and believe

[glossy ember]

rate my knife boys

i legit don't have anything but that blessing in my inventory

[sonic whale]

Odd question, do perks on weapons apply to everything or only that weapons attacks? Just thought about it

[wind wadi]

It's case to case e.g handcannon on revolver applies to melee crits

[near wyvern]

But it applies damage before that :/

[near wyvern]

Upgrade to orange and you shall have a verdict for it

[near wyvern]

Everything as long as that weapon is out. Including dots and projectiles that have not yet hit their targets.

[sonic whale]

Yes but not killing

[near wyvern]

Dealing damage =/= pacifist

[umbral helm]

Batman the pacifist

[glossy ember]

mind in motion is unironically addicting and such a boon

holy shit

also not feeling the loss of psykinetic aura with scrier's, neat.

[sonic whale]

https://youtu.be/iBBmQPINvmE?t=117
If you've been this Psyker who panics and forgets that melee would be better here, raise your hand

[grand shoal]

what stats are good on the surge staff

[sonic whale]

Good question

[analog agate]

If I remember correctly, warp res is your dump stat

[queen fog]

Yea cuz u can always quell it off

[restive tapir]

PSA: Do not assail a horde when it's hitting you with melee attacks, you can block.
PSA2: Do not blame your team when you die to that

[glossy ember]

yes

i personally go quell = damage > crit = charge time > warp res

[royal granite]

you know what would have saved the day here? smite

[glossy ember]

hm, just realized devastating strike stays when switching weapons. Wonder if cleave can affect ranged weapons

[sonic whale]

Dodging too

[royal granite]

assail does not have the saving the day power of smite

[glossy ember]

had the cool opportunity to fight alongside a EP surge psyker

He did 322k ranged damage, I did 250k ranged damage. Although he had 121k warpfire damage on top since he was running shriek. Pretty cool to see that I'm not too far behind someone that has +125% damage on pure ranged at least

[kind jay]

that's really low for ep surge

[glossy ember]

it was power outage modifier so less enemies than usual i believe

[bold maple]

far as im concerned ep surge is the canon way lightning work

I dont like the stun bot channel implementation, if someone mob get zapped by lightning for more than 2s they're dead

[silk hawk]

Id say quell is a dump stat if u use 30% talent everything else is dmg>chrge spd>crit>wrp res

[feral verge]

quell always dumpstat

you want these perks and blessings

carapace and elite damage are okay too

[silk hawk]

What is the point of flak?

[feral verge]

lol

gunners, shot gunners

shooters in general

most enemy types in this game are flak

[silk hawk]

U will two shot them without it

Usual flak shooters will be oneshotted without it too

And i am not sure but flak will not allow u to reach any bps on maulers too

So what is the point of flak?

[feral verge]

to 1 shot the most common elite type

[silk hawk]

It allows to reach bp?

[feral verge]

yes lol

[silk hawk]

Gotta check it myself, tnx

[wise ruin]

so i wanted this sword for my purgatus build but idk if usntable is good or not or should i just switch it for slaughter or something?

[feral verge]

1 shot, without a crit

[feral verge]

unstable is great if you play at high peril

that is a decent sword, however

obscurus is outclassed by deimos and illisi

obscurus is not bad, jsut outdonw by the other 2

[wise ruin]

yeah but i droped it with blazing spirit 4 so i wanted to try upgrading it

[feral verge]

here's what a good deimos looks like

[feral verge]

blazing spirit is a funny blessing

if you destroy the sword for a blessing

make sure it's unstable power

unstable power better than blazing spirit

[wise ruin]

yeah i already have blazing 3 on a diff sword so makes sense ig

what should i switch on this one for now then?

[somber girder]

this any good?? started playing psyker rcently

[feral verge]

the problem with blazing spirit is that stuff usually dies before the soulblaze does any real damage

[feral verge]

that is great. stam is a waste imo

i put maniac over stam instead

[silk hawk]

Not the best stats, but its fine. Although i prefer mk2...

[somber girder]

fair, but I typically pull it out when I am getting overwhelmed, so its somewhat usefull for more pushes/blocking

actually

no clue waht the + stamina was kind of testing it, but I assume it helps with that

[silk hawk]

Grab one of relics +3 stam and u are good

[feral verge]

dont reccomend blocking in general

[wide galleon]

ds is a mobility weapon, you dodge with it not block

[feral verge]

however blocking becoems a bit better when you have kinetic deflection

that said

kinetic defelction allows you to block a shitload

[somber girder]

fair enough, thanks

[feral verge]

thus

not needing stamina really

stamina is just overkill with it

and if you are blocking that much where you NEED the stamina, you have other problems

[royal falcon]

we lost malice maelstrom because of a fucking plagryn and LEDGES

when can psykers ignore gravity

[wide galleon]

by positioning better during a monster fight

[royal falcon]

that doesn't really answer my question

[silk hawk]

There is no gravity in the warp...

So just become a daemon and u are set

[wide galleon]

also, malice has an increased gravity factor of 1.5x

[royal falcon]

:(

[somber girder]

didn't know this lmao

seems a bit uneccessary tho

[wide galleon]

definitely was not serious about that

[hasty kraken]

3 Assail psykers on heresy

We are going to fall asleep

[spare sail]

now just toss in 1 smite so nothing is even able to fight back

[royal granite]

or it does real damage but then someone rolls up assuming it's at full health and overkills the shit out of it

[silk hawk]

No clue why people are so ecstatic about assail... That ability is so bad...

🙂

[wise ruin]

is there anyway to deal with things like this lol

[glossy ember]

is the emprah trying to tell me something lads

I got a mercy killer 4 on another knife..

[royal granite]

put blinds on your monitor

[prime elk]

I like the rmb, though idk how it scales in damnation

[prime elk]

Were you on your last wound?

[glossy ember]

it's gaming time.

[wise ruin]

auric damnation with grims, i was on my last wound most of the game

[prime elk]

Yeah that screen overlay effect is so annoying

Got a mod to turn it off

No game, I don’t need that shitty shader on my monitor for the next 30 minutes

[silk hawk]

It sux... ))

[wise ruin]

whats the name?

[prime elk]

Uh it’s like screen effect or something

[silk hawk]

Knife on a psyker... Eeehhh...

[bleak tulip]

assail still works fine in damnation lol, it just doesnt work as the only thing you use as well anymore

[wise ruin]

aight imma try to find it ig

[prime elk]

I’m sure someone else will know the name

[bleak tulip]

still kills specials and hordes in a pinch

[prime elk]

Good to hear

[glossy ember]

surely nothing will go wrong

[silk hawk]

Surely...

[bleak tulip]

just run away from your problems

[prime elk]

Can prob find it on nexus if you search effect

[glossy ember]

check out this sick, very balanced loadout

[bleak tulip]

okay but why tho

[glossy ember]

because i can (it's a terrible idea)

[silk hawk]

M - masochist

[glossy ember]

don't worry i'll upgrade a purge staff

it won't brick

[bleak tulip]

simply dont think about the brick status and youll get lucky like me

[glossy ember]

true!

i'd like to think terrifying barrage is a good perk so i can cope

[supple skiff]

Is terrifying barrage still bad?

[feral verge]

it is useless

terrifying barrage is useless

enver use it

[glossy ember]

i know

[feral verge]

never

[glossy ember]

read again what i wrote

[quick tulip]

Change crit to maniac

I suppose a more serious recommendation would be
Probably swap infernus up, yeah

Sorry I have too many laspistol builds

[feral verge]

i have to save everyone i meet

from terrifying barrage

kidding or not

i hate terrifying barrage

it killed and ate my son in 1998. ruined my marriage. kicked my dog.

[glossy ember]

lmfao

at least having terrifying barrage means next upgrade at worst could be run & gun

so more chances to get something useful

[dreamy bear]

Any BB builds for damnation or is smite or assail just better?

[supple skiff]

I don’t get assail lol

I’m probably missing something but I’m super underwhelmed any time I use it

[foggy breach]

savable?

[harsh urchin]

yar

purple it

[chrome linden]

wait.......can trauma even HIT weak spots?

[harsh urchin]

yar, if you left click

[foggy breach]

still savable?

[chrome linden]

huh

[harsh urchin]

nop

[chrome linden]

so......this thing has a built in cooldown mechanic

neat

[foggy breach]

left click spam into groups of shooters, or right click toss it at elites/far away enemies/really anything since it does more damage. works well for proccing disrupt destiny since it goes for weakpoints automatically and can be aimed

wait i can't say fuck?

okay i can say fuck

but not fu cc

weird

anyway

might orange it anyway just to see if i can get a blessing worth stealing

HAHA!

[spice oar]

what i run

[foggy breach]

actually pretty good then

what else should i do to this surge staff. replace infested with crit chance?

[harsh urchin]

no crit chance

[spice oar]

first of all get run n gun replaced with flurry

[harsh urchin]

infested->flak, run and gun to flurry

[spice oar]

then i suppose either flak or carapace

[foggy breach]

i don't have flurry

and im not killing my purg for it

[harsh urchin]

then leave run n gun

until you get flurry

[foggy breach]

and then infested to flak?

[spice oar]

dosent matter if you got it on purg

[harsh urchin]

yar

[spice oar]

it has to be the same staff

[strong gulch]

My brain will never be able to cope with lag. 😩

Heck these brains.

[foggy breach]

oh

heck

[plucky flax]

It's very good horde clear. If you use the special handcannon assail build then it's really good against other tankier targets too.

[chrome linden]

what bleesings should i be hunting in trauma?

[strong gulch]

Brunt keeps giving me damage dump stat. 🥲

[plucky flax]

It has low scaling so maybe it won't affect any breakpoint.

[strong gulch]

The popular combos are bazing spirit + warp nexus and rending shockwave + warp flurry.

Blazing spirit only going to T3 on staves.

[strong gulch]

I won't trash it right away then. I'll toss it in the meat grinder.

[stable silo]

dude

just upgrade it

trust me

[strong gulch]

Green star for maybe upgrade.

[stable silo]

i did just to try and get good blessings

and this monster rolled

u dont even notice the low dmg stat

[strong gulch]

NOICE. It did roll holy feck

[stable silo]

i was like wdf

i wont get better than that

[strong gulch]

Hadron gonna brick everything now. 🥲

[stable silo]

i named it the tickler cause the low stat but it tickles hard

[chrome linden]

hadron hates me

[bold maple]

error code 2014 hates me

[worthy wedge]

What are "correct" perks and blessings for purg?

[long wharf]

you want warp nexus and warp flurry, generally

you want as much crit as possible

in order to stack soulblaze as fast as possible

[wind wadi]

Does crit affect the application?

[long wharf]

yes

crits apply two soulblaze stacks that tick instead of just one

[worthy wedge]

Slick

[strong gulch]

WELP. It rolled like doodoo so I tossed it.

Rolled a different one and it's looking pretty alright.

BUT plot twist, I rolled it on the wrong character. Living up to that potato name.

[fresh reef]

I tried playing with the Mk1 Claw Sword

I just, I can't man

its moveset feels so weird for not being able to oneshot poxwalkers, and the one redeeming factor I thought it had which was making C Spawn easier is irrelevant because I can't practice at 80+ ping

[long wharf]

when the ogryn says he wants a power sword, you don't tell him no

[potent echo]

Mk1 is johnny two sweeps, mk4 has a strike down on heavy

[thorn tapir]

gunpsyker is Scriers Gaze + Columnus V is such a W build

[restive slate]

Gunkers be getting them Ws

[digital narwhal]

If only Scrier's gave Suppression Immunity

[grand shoal]

Can you put the surge blessing on a surge staff?

[long wharf]

nope
