Carapace perk is not ideal, but it might do something

#

Whereas WS perk is just outright bad, most of the time

wet belfry
#

Whenever i shall go to the local supermarket i make sure to bring a shovel for the increased mobility.

ruby narwhal
#

Tah 🙂

#

Uncanny?

vestal fulcrum
#

Uncanny Strike

wet belfry
#

6 dodges makes the crab walking also very viable for when stamina runs out.

vestal fulcrum
#

It’s a blessing

glossy ember
#

my 25% mobility illisi still gets 5 dodges lol

ruby narwhal
#

damn don't have it >.<

vestal fulcrum
#

I’m curious why this is the case

plucky flax
#

I want my floor stare infinite crab walk back. SadgeCry

ruby narwhal
#

got blazing spirit 4 if that's any use?

vestal fulcrum
vestal fulcrum
ruby narwhal
#

got that at 3

vestal fulcrum
#

Do get Uncanny whenever you can though, it’s a great blessing for the Force swords at the moment

vestal fulcrum
ruby narwhal
#

I'll use it till i find uncanny then

glossy ember

#

One day blazing spirit will be good on the force sword

#

When scriers gaze actually does something 💀

plucky flax
#

It's good if you want to meme.

#

Blazing spirit shred or riposte.

vagrant frigate
#

i run scrier

wet belfry
#

Blazing spirit + uncanny

glossy ember
wet belfry
#

Make the flames that spread ignore armor.

plucky flax
#

Aye then you gotta run scrier for crit rate.

ruby narwhal
#

does blazing work with the talent that spreads warpflame?

plucky flax
#

Gazer. staregryn

50.5 modifier value is usually the breakpoint for having the max amount of effective dodges

Any zealot chanter? staregryn

I find it sucks now without the monster cc with every pulse.

Any tip on how to improve my dmg and resistences? Psyker / Most Left

iron flame
#

staregryn man ... wish the extra cohency and quell spell position is swapped

grave zephyr
#

Well, i actually ran it with brain rupture and didn't even use it once.

#

So i just switched ^^

still hearth
#

When are we going to get this part flattened out

karmic fractal
still hearth
#

So that Psyker tree works like other trees

karmic fractal
#

or to effectively snipe snipers across the map

#

don't have to use BR actively much

wet belfry
grave zephyr
#

While assail can be good for bosses/gunners

karmic fractal
#

personally, a huge surge/smite fan

#

even just for the cc

#

not a huge fan of assail because it numbs my senses

grave zephyr
wet belfry
#

Kinetic presence is also a very weak aura for the psyker

rose dagger
still hearth
#

Or if you want to use the EP bug you can go

wet belfry
#

Get rid of battle meditation, warp expenditure. Pick up creeping flames, perilous combustion

karmic fractal
wet belfry
#

Swap kinetic presence for seer’s presence

rose dagger
#

Yea I was gonna question toughness on crit too

still hearth
#

The movespeed is nice

umbral helm
#

sprint efficiency for that run and gun meta, clearly

still hearth
#

Sometimes

wet belfry
plucky flax
#

If you have a crit weapon you can replace soulstealer with toughness on crit.

idle bay
#

My primary build. For Surge staff and chill.

still hearth
#

Though I wouldn't go EP and Surge if you want to use the EP bug abuse

#

Not that it matters since I don't use my blitz if I do that route

#

Just stack a lot of nodes

still hearth
#

And crit aura

#

-10/10

karmic fractal
#

Not totally bricked

rose dagger
#

Hate that exploit shet

#

Way too strong

wet belfry

#

It's not even strong

#

Imagine a single target weapon doing more DPS than AoE

For once

#

I love to save some FPS for team mates by not spreading soulfire

glossy ember
#

crit or carapace or maniac

#

i went carapace

rose dagger
#

Feel like any psyker that played before the overhaul will have little issue with toughness since psyker actually used to a struggle a bit with toughness

karmic fractal
rose dagger
#

Don't really need to spam illisi special and vent anymore

wet belfry
#

Most of tertiums housing is quite poor and in low supply. This leads to rampant overcrowding within the hive city.

rose dagger
#

Not very often anyway

umbral helm
#

usually toughness management in my experience came down to "we're not handling this swarm properly" rather than durability, but because we were one of the squishier classes we tended to feel the effects of those scenarios first

80% quell speed is.... well... uuuuseful... I guess?

plucky flax
#

Nearly 550. whatthefuck_heresy

idle bay
glossy ember
#

80% quell is fantastic for me

#

i run scrier so i feel like i need 80% quell lol

wet belfry
#

Ill make sure its disposed of properly.

vagrant frigate
#

scrier and dd are meta

karmic fractal
#

dd without guns

glossy ember
#

i play scrier+warp siphon

#

cant hit weakpoints with surge rmb

karmic fractal
#

can't go back to Warp Siphon since the talent rework

#

it's simply not the same anymore sadge

vagrant frigate
#

use gun

bleak tulip
glossy ember
#

i wanna zap zap

vagrant frigate
#

use gun

bleak tulip
#

gun cringe

glossy ember
#

strong zap zap

bleak tulip
#

the only gun I'd use on pyker would be plasma

umbral helm
#

I got curious and was running surge last night with DD, it's an interesting gameplay loop, did what it needed to

karmic fractal
#

I'll only play a gunker if they give me a GLÖRIÖÜS John Boltor on my spaghetti arm Psyker

bleak tulip
#

I remember when psyker got shotguns

karmic fractal
#

John Boltor+ the teased 2h Force Sword

umbral helm
#

I ran shredder autopistol for a while on a gun psyker setup. get in there and fill them with cringe 9mm

karmic fractal
#

obviously

vagrant frigate
#

use gun

#

poke
shoot
screech
repeat

karmic fractal
#

yeah we got it @vagrant frigate

idle bay
#

Can we bribe Fatshark to give Plasma Gun to Psykers?

karmic fractal
#

screech+plasma gun?

#

Just be a knockbacky-boi

umbral helm
#

built a vraks recently, the single shot one, ended up liking it quite a bit

karmic fractal
#

vraks VII?

umbral helm
#

probably. I just know one fires a single shot and the other is a burst of 2 I think

bleak tulip
#

cant stand the VII's weird sway on recoil that makes you just fuckin miss

#

that or I always get fucked by hitreg and thats the only weapon it happens to me with

glossy ember
vagrant frigate
#

they need to buff the rapier

ashen trellis
#

is "power up" penance bugged? stuck on 0/100 for me

glossy ember
#

also i feel the loss in warp siphon from -peril gen would be terrible

grave zephyr
#

Why does empowered psyonics increase the surge staff secondary attack dmg?

umbral helm
vagrant frigate
#

i love booping large mammals

#

make me happy

umbral helm
#

also, I wasn't always RMB'ing to kill, I don't regardless. sometimes you gotta pepper them with the LMB

bleak tulip
#

assumption is that it counts as the same type of attack

#

so it gets some of the benefits

iron flame
#

How is this tree for penance hunting with BB ?

bleak tulip
#

the giganerds probably could say but they likely dont wanna promote bugged builds that make the game not fun to play

vagrant frigate
#

bugged in my favor and against my favor KEKW_ogryn

bleak tulip
#

congratulations

#

I guess in some way we all do

vagrant frigate
umbral helm
#

I just use whatever I'm in the mood for, which changes often

glossy ember
bleak tulip
#

also wildfire is kinda bad

#

I guess kinetic flayer is usable if youre specifically going for BB penances but generally its also underwhelming

iron flame
#

Hmm yea it is T_T

umbral helm
#

I throw it on some setups for the hell of it sometimes

iron flame
#

By the way ... the wording on Wrap kill ... does staffs attacks count ?

bleak tulip
#

yes

iron flame
#

Oh damn ... i better grab that then

#

Headshot machine with the voidstrike

thats nothing

@idle bay u dont play 140fov?

the last clip is sped

iron flame
#

God damn, you are just oneshotting those mauler like it is nothing

vagrant frigate
#

thats without handcannon

#

i run that now so i have perma rending :X

iron flame
#

Me no brain or aiming skills

idle bay
iron flame
#

I just go emperor palp build

#

Except right now since I thought I go penace hunting

#

Crying in all my elite/specialists kills get stolen

#

I hope they rework it

bleak tulip
#

this is basically just mk4 being silly

#

doesnt even even have scriers stacks for most of this Kekw

#

also extra lmao for never actually using the gun

#

this is just how zealot players play melee psyker because psyker has one of the best melee weapons in the game right now

vagrant frigate
#

nah thats when i just started it

#

rev is main now

#

you can whip it out in 1ms and just 1tap an elite

#

then go back to sword

bleak tulip
#

which is also how people play zealot right now

vagrant frigate
#

which is how i play psyker :D

velvet hull
#

How does one rate my staff?

vagrant frigate
#

do u know apollis

velvet hull
vagrant frigate
#

the zealot

#

he my boy

bleak tulip
#

thats certainly a staff

iron flame
#

staregryn God damn ... how are you all getting the tier 4 blessing ? My shitty staffs is like tier 2 and stuffs

bleak tulip
#

one of the staves of all time

#

roll on highe base rating weapons

iron flame
#

staregryn Huh ? we can upgrade them ?

velvet hull
#

yup

bleak tulip
#

hadron

velvet hull
#

refine

iron flame
#

Wow hadron holding out on me

wind halo
#

Hadron gonna destroy your staff pogryn

velvet hull
#

In a good or bad way?

kind jay
#

surge has like 5 blessings total it's super easy to farm 4s

iron flame
#

Ok ... i am in like Refine screen soo how do i upgrade the blessing ?

bleak tulip
#

you take blessings from other weapons which destroys the weapon but lets you put it on others

#

you dont directly upgrade anything

#

pretty sure you just misunderstood that they meant

iron flame
#

Ahh ok

bleak tulip
#

basically take high base rating weapons, consecrate em and hope you get a tier IV

iron flame
#

I thought it is some kind of upgrades like if i refine warp nexus into tier 4 or something

#

That is my surging staff for my main build while i am using a shitty voidstrike staff for penance farming

onyx sentinel
#

surge staff still broken?

viscid matrix
#

or you can use the absurdly strong void or assail

bleak tulip
#

what is it with this "itll never get fixed" attitude

#

you can bet that shit is on the chopping block next patch

viscid matrix
#

not that itll never get fixed, it will just take a lot of time FS is very slow to nerf things

bleak tulip
#

okay but its a bugfix, not a nerf

viscid matrix
#

its been in since the launch of the class update last month, we just didnt notice it

bleak tulip
#

they fixed a bunch of unintended shit from 13

#

yeah because its effect only became apparent with 14

#

because lmao +35% of "bad" is still bad

viscid matrix
#

psyker was barely touched

bleak tulip
#

yeah and?

#

again youre talking nerfs being insufficient

#

not bugfixes

viscid matrix
#

Void got slightly downtuned, still op and vastly stronger than everything else
Assail got a modification, still op

bleak tulip
#

yeah and I think most people agree with that so what's your point

viscid matrix
#

i think it will either be early decemebr or january before they touch it

bleak tulip
#

you're conflating balancing with bugfixing, I wouldnt be surprised if there will be a patch this year

#

and tbh I dont even know if either assail or void need more nerfs, its more that the other staves fell behind at this point

#

void is pretty comparable to plasma

#

its just that optimized builds still go very hard

#

because surge is comical

glossy ember
bleak tulip
#

and probably shouldnt have ever existed

#

that blessing was theoreically insane at day 1

glossy ember
#

wym

#

i love surge

bleak tulip
#

we just didnt have ways to basically guarantee crits

#

also void base damage was bad

#

void still fundamentally struggles with the same things it always struggled with, just much less

#

as in it actually does damage to crushers now Kekw

#

also I wouldnt necessarily say its "vastly" better than trauma, its just more versatile

glossy ember
#

what if they buffed surge staff so that you could aim at weakpoints with it, hmmgryn

bleak tulip
#

trauma still shits on mixed hordes within range and deals with crusher hordes way better

glossy ember
#

it'd be nice if you could aim to either lock body or lock head

#

rather than just throwing lightning in a general direction

bleak tulip
#

they should make it either do CC better again or buff its damage to not be pretty meaningless

#

current design is some weird middle thing that isnt really very good at either

#

dont think weak spot aiming is really the solution or point

wet belfry
#

The class update nerfed trauma

glossy ember
#

i want em to amp up the carapace damage on surge

wet belfry
#

Very sad

clear heath
#

it kinda ccs fine if you take smite for the +1 chain
weird thing to balance around though since i think that's a bug

bleak tulip
#

trauma is still very competetive though idk

clear heath
#

i think 3 targets should just be baseline

bleak tulip
#

idk in extreme scenarios it feels pretty limp imo

#

that or its semi natural pairing with smite is held back by smite doing no damage

glossy ember
#

but yea it'd be nice to have consistant 2 shots on crushers

bleak tulip
#

so you're back to relying on melee for hordes

clear heath
#

or relying on soulblaze for hordes

bleak tulip
#

idk maybe I just never fell in love with illisi enough to respect surge

wet belfry
#

Surge shouldnt two shot crushers

bleak tulip
#

well yeah

wet belfry
#

Thats just silly

bleak tulip
#

but it does need to do more than it does

glossy ember
#

it doesn't

#

even with a double crit

clear heath
#

I pretty much always do top damage on surge without ep but it's mainly because of how busted soulblaze talents are.
it only really takes 1-2 elite kill and an F to wipe an entire room and surge 1 shots gunners so...

bleak tulip
#

I mean 24% damage isnt as much as warp charge enjoyers really wish it was

clear heath
#

when you only really need 1 kill for horde clear and the thing kills 1 target quickly, it works out

bleak tulip
#

not when there is blessings that do way more

glossy ember
#

a consistant 3 shot is fine

#

but with scrier it should 2 shot

bleak tulip
#

I just wouldnt wanna rely on creeping to be my main hordeclear is the thing

glossy ember
#

or at least two crits

#

or one crit one normal

clear heath
#

I like dot builds so i'm happy enough with it

#

i wouldn't mind second and third target taking more damage from surge though

bleak tulip
#

unpopular opnion: idk what the fuck the point of scriers is besides giving literally any reason for gunker to exist

clear heath
#

it's like weirdly not any better when there's exactly 2 targets, which is odd for a weapon that specifically hits 2

bleak tulip
#

its not something I would ever use on staves because you cant really get max stacks with it while using your staff

crimson remnant
#

Is melee psyker really good or meme?

bleak tulip
#

you have to passive quell in some way

bleak tulip
clear heath
bleak tulip
#

like "three shot crushers" type good

viscid matrix
glossy ember
bleak tulip
#

melee psyker is basically just gunker for zealot players

#

go fast eat ass

#

might as well bring a gun

#

its like the psyker entry drug for people who were too cool for psyker before

iron flame
#

Hmm wonder if Brain burst count as headshots for true aim

bleak tulip
#

yeah#

#

in fact just charging it to like 40-50% counts as it already

#

(this was another bug fix because before you could charge true aim by just spamming it on people before 14)

hollow jolt
#

A shame you can't get the fast charge of brain burst

#

I would pay a talent for faster Brain Rulture 😔

bleak tulip
#

at this point I am convinced FS doesnt want BB to be good

#

"its too slow" has basically been consensus here since the game came out

iron flame
#

T_T yea ... feels like it is just one of those weaker build that they will refuse to fix like some of the VT's subclass

hollow jolt
#

Like brain rupture with brain burst's cast time would be pretty good

bleak tulip
#

I cant tell if its a relic of the pre beta where, since everyone was new, everyone used BB way too fuckin much on everything

#

because iirc it was faster then

hollow jolt
#

BB on poxwalkers UwU

bleak tulip
#

and it does kill shit on lower difficulties pretty easily

#

and there is barely any elites and specials

hollow jolt
#

I remember psykers desperately BBing poxwalkers to keep warp charge stacks going

viscid matrix
hollow jolt
#

Because "lol all stacks disappear"

bleak tulip
#

so spending time on the one crusher with BB feels worth it in like malice

#

meanwhile in damnation there is basically always 4 crushers

#

so suddenly BB is entirely pointless

#

to simplify it a little

high trout
#

Hello fellow Psykers. I'm new here. I tried for the Warp Battery Penance and I want to kill myself.

iron flame
#

I am doing penace farming right now

#

I want to cry

bleak tulip
#

that seems to be a pretty common thing lately lol

high trout
#

I gave up and switched to cc for quickplay

iron flame
#

stop killing my elites ppl T_T i know glowing head makes for good "aim here for headshot" indictator but plzz T_T

viscid matrix
hollow jolt
bleak tulip
#

but yeah try higher difficulties, more density

high trout
bleak tulip
#

also unbind your F key

high trout
iron flame
#

Me playing on damnation and it feels like there is so many oh shit situation and i ended up pressing F

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

I did it like a year ago so I have no current tips other than "use purg and assblast every horde" thats how I did it on smelter

#

by accident

viscid matrix
high trout
#

It's all good. Enough of my problems, how's everyone doing?

hollow jolt

REAL psykere edge Tzeentch properly without venting UwU

severe folio
#

i dont think its tzeentch thats on the other side of the edging

viscid matrix
hollow jolt
severe folio
#

nah

viscid matrix
#

sitting between 80% and 100% constantly is a skill, and without venting shriek since its a crutch that weakens you

iron flame
#

staregryn If FS ask me to redesign left side of the true, I will just make BB do damage as it charges up. Like the moment you channel on some poor dude, and the talents making it chain to nearby specialist or elites lol

severe folio
#

i'd just make bb a massive beam of fire

bleak tulip
viscid matrix
gilded radish
#

used mostly smite and a few times used my revolver

iron flame
#

Probably should rework warp charges too. Feels like consume it on pressing F is like asking ppl to not use F, bad interaction

bleak tulip
#

nah its the point

#

you get em back so fast

#

the whole point of warp charges is now CDR

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

if you like it or not

#

I mean I dont but sure

bleak tulip
#

I also barely play shield because why would I

#

its nice and comfy but

#

shriek is better imo

#

just in every conceivable way

iron flame
#

staregryn man ... wish the keystone is like divide into 2 subsection so it either buff damage or cdr so for ppl who use BB to farm penace, they would just take the damage one

#

Like i know we got 24% increase damage but it still feel kinda weak for BB

viscid matrix
#

i prefer dome shield for that damage reduction and toughness regen, plus removing vomit before it can leave BoN's mouth

iron flame
#

maybe another 24% for blitz

severe folio
bleak tulip
iron flame
#

Although feels like it will just make assil more op lol

severe folio
#

dont want to encourage spamming blitz

viscid matrix
severe folio
bleak tulip
#

yeah and those were the bad ones

#

is my point

#

okay fair, one wasnt bad

#

it was just the fire one

iron flame
#

Hmm yea i think i just use the keystone that don't dump warp charges

severe folio
#

oh yeah

#

there was a keypoint like that

bleak tulip
#

the cooldown one was shit

severe folio
#

was that wrack and ruin

bleak tulip
#

so they made it normal

#

so now its free and not a wasted point

#

which I like

#

means more fire

#

you can literally get the effect of all three 30 talens at the same time now

#

which is kinda neato

#

numbers probably arent identical I dont remember

#

I hadnt played in like half a year

severe folio
#

they took away wrack and ruin

bleak tulip
umbral helm
#

before talent trees I'd run a gun psyker with shredder autopistol where I'd bounce between magdumping with kinetic flayer and then occasionally using my F to quickly pop heads at lower peril cost before swapping back to the gun

bleak tulip
#

wrack and ruin was pretty bad iirc

#

or there was just something much better on that tier

#

one of the two

severe folio
#

actually

#

a lot of people seem to say its one of the better one

rain meadow
#

Brain rupture with purgatus staff is still the most fun psyker loadout for me

severe folio
#

back then warp charge is gain via just bb

bleak tulip
#

yeah which is why I ran kinetic

#

to keep it up for free

severe folio
#

now

#

its just on scary kill

bleak tulip
#

okay there, talent tree ca march 23

#

wrack was bad because the other two were just better

#

literally free damage

#

or a much shittier version of perilous combustion

#

not even remotely a competition

frank moat
#

Kinetic Barrage my beloved

severe folio
#

having wrack and ruin in this new talent tree would be bice

#

nice

umbral helm
#

cerebral lacerations, you'll be missed

bleak tulip
#

old talent trees were shit, you cant change my mind

hoary badge
#

Wrack was certainly one of the less popular options but I often ran it with my flayer gunbuild

bleak tulip
#

you literally have it

#

and its one of the best talents we have

hoary badge
bleak tulip
#

okay so that image is from march, so unless that got changed

#

it distinctly says kill

#

I wouldnt know I didnt play this summer

viscid matrix
hoary badge
#

It was buffed multiple times since that image

bleak tulip
#

fair enough

hoary badge
#

It wasn't all that bad if it wasn't for the fact it was competing with a juiced version of warp rider

bleak tulip
#

yeah that sounds about right

#

I probably still woulda ran that

#

because lmao free damage

viscid matrix

#

KBing a Crusher allowed you to rack humongous stacks of soulblaze

iron flame
#

staregryn Oh ...

bleak tulip
#

I mean they could just deshittify wildfire

#

and you have more fire already

severe folio
#

trueee

#

they should replace wildfire with wrack and ruin

bleak tulip
#

making more fire on hit seems stupidly strong if it isnt in direct competition with a 10-25% damage boost

severe folio
#

thats okay

#

more fire more light

bleak tulip
#

I wish

severe folio
#

wish harder

bleak tulip
#

but yeah with how comically good soulblaze is already now I dont even know if unfucking wildfire is even balanced

severe folio
#

no harm in making it better

#

all fun for everyone

hoary badge
#

Power creep is a very divisive issue

bleak tulip
#

I mean yeah people will bitch and moan and not just be whiny

hollow jolt
#

I want my Voidstrike staff to one shot Nurgle

hoary badge
#

Nothx

iron flame
#

I took that out to make space for true aim ... worth it or not ? That soulblaze on elite/special kill

viscid matrix
hoary badge
#

Psykers already have a stranglehold on the meta as it is

bleak tulip
#

I deadass had people passive agressively talk shit about bringing assail when I grilled like 7 gunners with void and hadnt used assail at all that mission before

#

thats how toxic the conversation is

hollow jolt
iron flame
#

Hadn't tried assail but seeing it deletes hordes of specials makes me feel so jelly

bleak tulip
#

tfw psyker cant kill bosses

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

and literally all other classes can

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

yeah

#

abusing stupud crit strings

iron flame
#

Hmm soo i take out true aim and the mini nodes used to get there and put in soulblaze and wildfire ?

bleak tulip
#

gunkers arent real psykers

#

come at me

sour pilot
#

I like guns with my space wizardry on occasion

viscid matrix
iron flame
#

Ohh it is bad ? alright

bleak tulip
#

dont take out true aim if youre playing void

viscid matrix
#

at best it will spread 1 stack out to everything around the enemy

umbral helm
#

speaking of, I remember I was tangoing with a chaos spawn the other night, and a zealot got really uppity that he, through his own skill issue, couldn't land a hit on it with me keeping it distracted, and blamed me for it. he just gave up about halfway through and made us kill it

bleak tulip
#

its like one of the core talents that makes void as good as it is

#

people think you just pick any void and youre OP now, but nah you still gotta build into it a bit

#

it has a lot of shit blessings

#

and you need some talents for it to really get good

sour pilot
#

What is the general consensus on the Purgatus staff anyway. It's like, fun, but it usually feels like you'd be better with the lightning one

bleak tulip
#

its good because infinite cleave

#

its generally outclassed by other staves

sour pilot
#

That is true.

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

we're in the best spot we've ever been as to the viability of staves which is very nice, you can do everything with all staves and be useful

#

just some are better than others

hoary badge
#

I would tier Surge lower than the purg if it didn't inherit smitep

hmm soo that is why surge is so op atm ?

I mean i dont really see the point of it myself, unless the extra levels would get you extra rewards, dontr remember if it did in VT2

nexus to t4 if you can, otherwise crit to 5%

you arent gonna get any bigger crit with 1-2%

terrifying barrage actually does much less

zinc phoenix

Ah obese fish

Never change

#

How about terrifying barrage on trauma?

potent echo
#

void explosion has like a 15m suppression radius or smth crazy

#

if you take terrifying barrage into the psyk, you will get 0.5 secs of suppression per kill

#

thats about it

#

you can just stagger everything anyway so suppression in a 7m radius doesnt have too much value

Blazing is probably the best for Trauma rn

im still playing assail/void with illis in auric damnation doing great

really? thought flame shriek was an ez 100k damage on hordes

still hearth
#

So you only buff allies

late yew
#

So something like this?

still hearth
#

Yeah probably

#

But low blast radius is bad

late yew
still hearth

Since the big AoE also sets things on fire

dont poo poo flame shriek\

late yew
stable silo

your in the middle of a crushder/mauler horde rushing up on you breathing down your neck 2 snipers set up ur like ohshi no one can deal with it or your at a bad angle boom shriek fire dead

6 stacks of Soulfire kills almost all non-elites and does like 600 damage to elites

#

That's not nothing when you hit 50+ enemies

viscid matrix
#

6 stacks is roughly 240 damage unless you have warp attack buffs active

still hearth
#

What are you on about

#

6 stacks of soulfire does over 400 damage

viscid matrix
late yew
#

this is full duration

#

This is fuckn trash

still hearth
#

Yeah on

#

The highest HP

#

Elite

#

Right now

late yew
#

COmpared to huge utility of Dome?

#

Yeah, it is fuckn trash

#

and horde is easiest part of the game anyway

still hearth
#

And peril quell. And knockback.

#

The horde is the easiest part

#

Until there's

#

6 crushers

#

4 ragers

#

12 shooters

#

And 2 snipers

#

And a horde

viscid matrix
#

6 stacks will do 24ish per tick which is .75 seconds and as each stack falls off it goes down
they fall of as fast as they were applied

still hearth
#

That you can't focus on

late yew
#

And 6 stacks of soulfire will barely do anything to deal with that

#

Since it takes good 10 seconds for pox walkers to die from 6 stacks

glossy ember
#

or so i understand

viscid matrix
late yew
#

In that amount of time you either clear it all, or whole team dies

near wyvern
still hearth
#

It knocks them over

still hearth
#

They take 2-3 second to stand up

#

And then gotta run up

late yew
glossy ember
# late yew dude

also that's nice because you can now 2 shot the maniac rager with staff

viscid matrix
late yew
#

you have infinite knocking up with Smite

still hearth
#

And you do 0 damage

late yew
#

So just barely lower than 6 stacks do in 10 seconds KEKW_ogryn

spice oar
#

Ironically smite deals better dps than the 6 stacks

viscid matrix
spice oar
#

Since the 6 stacks will fall off and need tk be applied again

#

Smite is just continuous

still hearth
#

Smite isn't continuous

#

You can only hold it for like 5 seconds

plucky flax

#

Let's be real here

still hearth
#

Smite doesn't even

#

Kill bruisers

late yew
#

let's compare 64% blast radius against 80%

late yew
#

eh

#

i don't see much difference

near wyvern
#

@spice oar what if... You stack Creeping Flames + Wildifre + Enfeeble Smite. Think about that for a while.

Dosent take any time to quell, what you guys should even be doing is combining the soulblaze with smite

5 seconds?

This is some strong cope ngl

Everyone knows the only viable build is whichever one I like most

potent echo

dont bruisers have like 600+hp

# potent echo 5 seconds?

with no buffs yes, cause no buffs means 5 seconds for 250 damage

with empower it is in under 2 seconds

still hearth
potent echo
#

what bruiser has 250hp

still hearth
#

This is with Empowered

#

It kills like

#

6-8 poxwalkers

#

Out of 20

#

What kind of horde are you killing with this

late yew
#

comparing again, at more similar angles

#

yeah, difference is not even noticable

hmmm

could be

and that fatshark didn't just put in an animatiom and left it

#

Anyway smite killing things

#

Is still a myth

potent echo
late yew
#

But no, it absolutely does kill 20+ easily

still hearth
#

Alright the second testing showed that it can kill 20 poxwalkers if they're not in the same spot. That's funny

spice oar
#

Yeah I personally kill hordes with it aswell

potent echo
#

smite damage is random isnt it

late yew
#

well no shit

spice oar
late yew
#

They arte never in the same spot in actual game

viscid matrix
orchid shadow
#

5 seconds? Who's taking smite without Battle Meditation?? And hordes are way more than 20/

spice oar
#

More or less deals the same amount of dmg but it can randomly increase

near wyvern
still hearth
#

It kills like 25 poxwalkers with a full EP charge

spice oar
#

Combine that with shriek? Hordes gone

near wyvern
#

Smite seems to deal random damage on ticks, similar to surge RMB

spice oar
#

Added dmg from the shriekand longer smite uptime is enough

late yew
spice oar
#

From my experience

late yew
#

But utility of shield is more imporant

#

And it is straight game saver when you stumble upon on huge groups of gunners and/or snipers

spice oar
#

I'm sure it's good against hordes with ep base, but with shriek it rlly let's me specialise

still hearth
late yew
spice oar
#

Extends the uptime by quite a bit

near wyvern
viscid matrix
still hearth
#

It seems to actually work okay with Smite if that's your horde clear choice

Shield is lovely but honestly the F picks are mostly icing on the cake of a psyker build. Neither shriek nor shield is really necessary for much

#

Shield if cc king, shriek if horde king, scriers why would you. End of convo

Alright so smite horde clear is alright

umbral helm

I make my choices based on the funny voice lines they'll make my psyker do

#

The damage on big things is still sad but whatever

orchid shadow
#

You can also Shriek at any time, so is something getting through? Scream. Peril getting high and need that extra bit to extend the Smite and finish the job? Yell your head off.

still hearth
#

The CC makes up for that so you can swap to another weapon

spice oar

#

And it does control job pretty well

glossy ember

Still i would like basic version to get a little bit buffed even without psionics

still hearth

I mean yeah but so does all the other staves
