#

However there can be no "visibly" marked enemies however i can easily upkeeping 30 stacks

wind halo
#

Regardless of being highlighted?

whole oxide
#

again, no

limber tartan
#

Im testing this again because im pretty sure im going paranoid

viscid matrix
whole oxide
late yew
#

So what makes blaze trauma good?

sonic coral
#

feeling superior

whole oxide
viscid matrix
whole oxide
#

and the outer-blast radius is friggin huge

umbral helm
viscid matrix
umbral helm
#

weasels get popped one way or another. except with fire stick, just get cooked then. but the Ogryns deserve a warm meal now and again

late yew
whole oxide
viscid matrix
late yew
#

what ab out this

viscid matrix
late yew
#

also this

late yew
#

with changing it to Nexus and Blazing

viscid matrix
#

both have good stats, but not gonna get a good one due to shit rolls with hadron

wind halo
#

Do you go all Soulblaze nodes with Fire Trauma?

viscid matrix
strong gulch
# late yew with changing it to Nexus and Blazing

It will be perfectly serviceable.

Min Max wise, you want blast radius, charge rate max. I'd still max out damage. Warp resistance and quell speed are fine as they are. BUT your want nexus at T4, blazing spirit, flak, and crit chance.

small whale
#

not warpp flurry?

late yew
#

I have surge instead of those t4...

#

And i don't have surge on my fuckn void stuff

#

reeee

bleak tulip
#

idk amybe flurry when you run brittle trauma but I dont think even then you do that?

strong gulch
bleak tulip
#

I guess now that flurry doesnt get removed from quelling it might be better but yeah on blaze you super dont want it

#

you need that crit

small whale
#

should you go left side tree and grab the crit aura then

#

i mean right

bleak tulip
#

crit aura isnt super value

#

generally

ionic sorrel
#

Would scriers be good for fire trauma?

small whale
#

5% is pretty good compared to 5% elite atleast

wind halo
#

So what role is Blaze Trauma for? Anti-everything?

strong gulch
#

HOWEVER. If you have true aim and you are not using fire trauma are your main weapon, you can do blazing spirit + rending shockwave to CC and soften up targets.

wind halo
#

Wondering what melee to pair with it

bleak tulip
small whale
bleak tulip
#

you basically never stop casting so you never stop needing your peril

#

and if youre maxing peril for nexus to work properly you dont get scriers

ionic sorrel
#

Makes sense.

lyric burrow
#

Yeah trauma and scriers dont play well together

strong gulch
small whale
#

😢

strong gulch

#

These crit based staff builds are so hard to itemize for staregryn Need Crit Chance perk and 2 Mandatory Blessings

ionic sorrel
strong gulch
#

Fire trauma is annoying as hell to build.

small whale
#

ya no thanks

wind halo
#

She is waiting

strong gulch
#

If you are still farming up decent gear and you're not like "OOOH me want fire trauma", I'd focus elsewhere tbh.

If you like trauma, then go all in. whatthefuck_heresy

#

Assail not op anymore i would say

#

Which is also why there was decrease in amount of psykers by like 60% lmao

#

which i am happy with

wind halo
#

All these Assail zoomers meanwhile I'm using Brainburst as a crutch

strong gulch
wind halo
viscid matrix
#

kekw, its got 400 base damage on an empowered secondary
and still shreds thru everything not armoured

late yew
#

400 is not much

#

you can do way more damage with guns way faster

#

Right click is slow as hell

viscid matrix
strong gulch
#

true. Don't have to fight rng

ionic sorrel
#

I still like Assail on my scriers/disrupt destiny build.

limber tartan
#

Just have good gear staregryn

late yew
viscid matrix
#

jsut wont have any viable weapons for when you get overwhelmed with armour

shy pewter
#

😮 I'm going for it

glossy ember
#

late yew
#

limber tartan
#

I mean from where that screen is from

shy pewter
#

lets you check all your character shops without logging in

late yew
#

sounds like heresy to me

shy pewter
#

I can check on the hour in 20 seconds instead of 20 minutes of load screens

viscid matrix
limber tartan
#

The fact that its an extension for a browser is funny to me

shy pewter
viscid matrix
#

flurry is nice to have, damage against types is nice to have, but again all minimal effects

still hearth
#

Nexus is nice. Unyielding is okay

#

But yeah everything else is not amazing

shell igloo
#

Agreed. As it stands, it feels like there's virtually no reason you wouldn't charge smite before casting.

shy pewter
#

And charging smite only takes like .2 seconds

still hearth
#

I use it sometimes

#

To just instantly zap things

#

Since you can use it while running or something

#

I don't remember

#

But then you don't want to have EP stacks

limber tartan
#

Im really digging this build that i have come up with over couple of days

shy pewter
#

Empowered Psionics sort of blows with smite, but smite feels reaaaally good with Warp Siphon

limber tartan
#

Also weapons soo this makes more sense

viscid matrix
wind halo
#

What for? I rather take the initial nodes on the left for more toughness

limber tartan
#

You mean puppet master ?

summer prairie
#

non-bugged surge + shriek (31min)

stuck bridge
shy pewter
limber tartan
#

Im zooming

shy pewter
kind jay
#

mans gotta go fast

limber tartan
#

Its just how i like to play

wind halo
viscid matrix
shy pewter
limber tartan
#

The whole idea of the stamina is that im unironically going to be running and gunning into the very middle of everything

#

And i need to block which is why i also have deflection

#

And smite is there to quickly zap shooting enemies just to knock them down scrier's gaze for 20% movements speed and crit chance and im just zooming

viscid matrix
limber tartan
#

Also this

#

More movement speed

wind halo
#

Why not Assail for maximum carnage XD

shy pewter
#

Zoom zoom zoom

#

Get this man a Mazda sponsorship

wind halo
#

I have almost the same build as yours but I do go Assail

limber tartan
#

And this coupled with my really high crit chance means im pretty much dodging all majority of the time which means gunners just loose tracking of me

wind halo
#

Throw those 10 shards, switch to Laspistol and start blasting the remnants

viscid matrix
limber tartan
#

I dislike assail

#

If assail can kill something i can just do it faster and more precise with a gun

wind halo
#

I mean he has a Deimos so Assail will help his Horde Clear at the very least but Smite has its merits I suppose

viscid matrix
#

assail is fun as hell to use when you were limited to guns, staves and brain burst for 9 monhts

wind halo
#

Wow you guys really spammed the hell outta it didnt you lmao I was just Brainburst main during patch 13

limpid cypress
#

Assail is so boring. I far prefer using BB and Smite

limber tartan
#

I rarely just hold enemies in smite for long, just enough for it to jump to all enemies i want then release and run into them

#

Since smite will always knock down humna enemies when it ends

#

And orgyns will be stunned

viscid matrix
limber tartan
#

Its literally there to help me with running into shit

#

And if there is an instance in which we're getting overwhelmed by crushers and maulers guess what i can just hold it

limpid cypress
limber tartan
#

To each their own but assail is for people who either think its cool and people that use it because they can't aim with guns

#

But want to go crit

west stream
#

I use both

#

: D

limber tartan
#

As long as you're having fun

west stream
#

Empty assail and swap to gun seems to work well to catch the marks

limber tartan
#

I just like shooting shit

#

And magic, and running really damn fast

limpid cypress
#

I like catching everything ablaze with the touch of a button

shy pewter
#

I spammed the hell out of assail when it dropped because I was so tired of BB. Now I pretty much don't switch off of smite, its just so good

limber tartan
#

Im starting to feel that people have jumped onto the assail train and after the post nut clarity they are realising that smite is clearly superior chadgryn

west stream
#

I like assail ability to catch a marked enemy or to quickly burst a bunch of dogs and maulers

#

Smite is very handy specially if group knows how to prioritize tho

bleak tulip
#

I for one am still wondering why I would ever take smite

#

it lasts such a short time

west stream
#

Control is king

bleak tulip
#

okay but just use trauma if you want control but also still do damage

summer prairie
#

it's actually fairly irrelevant that it lasts for a short time due to Solidity

shy pewter
west stream
#

I feel like smite lets you get a better long range option

summer prairie
#

you can quell and lock them down again before they can barely move

orchid shadow
west stream
#

And still shut down a horde in short range

bleak tulip
#

also is it just holding left click? do people even use smite right click

#

I found it very underwhelming

west stream
#

You can have 5 loadouts so up to you to switch it up

bleak tulip
#

but I only barely tried

sacred crane
#

out of all the force swords, which one should i use

summer prairie
#

what, only the charged smite is worth using

west stream
#

Ye

shy pewter
#

You definitely always want to charge smite, its basically free and way better

hollow jolt
#

Deimos or the illius

west stream
#

You want the buffs to get it up faster

hollow jolt
#

I use the Deimos because lol Hadron

west stream
#

Then charge zap

limber tartan
#

Charged smite for stunning groups and lmb for singular enemies that you want stunned like a bulwark

bleak tulip
#

okay for some reason my impression was that the charge on it is just a charged push

sacred crane
#

deimos sword look like a weenie

shy pewter
#

the charge on smite increases its targets from like 3 to 30

limber tartan
#

Yea in majority of situations i just charge it and hold onto groups of enemies untill everyone i want is affected, when you release they get knocked down and then you kill them or quell and charge them again

#

Either just taking advantage of the fact that they're knocked down or literally keeping them permastunned because you're quelling when they are getting up

#

And if there is an Oh Shit moment just hold it and dodge away

summer prairie
limber tartan
#

Ah, you see

#

i also have a gun

bleak tulip
#

okay so my voidbrain made me release the charge instantly

summer prairie
#

ideally there's a horde since it helps with the spread a lot

bleak tulip
#

because thats all I do every day

#

that explains my confusion

limber tartan
#

It just works with my build i posted eariler

bleak tulip
#

I was like "this shit doesnt even stun a crusher"

summer prairie
#

Psyker gets this kind of CC and complain while vets get the smoke grenade

bleak tulip
#

wait who complains

summer prairie
#

a lot of people said smite does nothing and is useless

summer prairie
#

What's that

rare storm
orchid shadow
summer prairie
#

oh, it's with just that node yeah

rare storm
#

Wondering how important this is

#

ie can I drop it for +15 toughness

zinc phoenix
#

Anyone using post patch empower for anything?

#

Tried it with smite and was not impressed, don’t care for assail

rare storm
#

But funny enough, probably the best option if you want to use it for bossing

zinc phoenix
#

So it actually works well with bb?

#

Better than warp charge?

summer prairie
#

EP needs to be pretty amazing to be worth getting just for the blitz

zinc phoenix
#

My doubt levels are high

zinc phoenix
#

There’s a perk under empower where it makes your F give 15% toughness which… 😂

rare storm
#

It's good for quick casting and killing the snipers if your team doesn't bother to shoot

#

You can also run kinetic resonance on BB + 2 shields and you have a bossing build that does like 50% of the boss hp

summer prairie
#

kinetic resonance is already fast, EP only speeds it up by 10% or something

zinc phoenix
#

Explain this to me using dummy dumb dumb words

orchid shadow
#

I find EP way better than warp charges with BB. Chunkier damage on monstrosities, faster cast times when something needs to die asap, and free elite patrol kills

rare storm
#

So I can spam 6 bb charges without quelling

#

in quick succession

rare storm
zinc phoenix
#

Yes

rare storm
#

And since the shield node has a 2x shield option

zinc phoenix
#

Ah

rare storm
#

You can make use of this 75% speed boost twice

zinc phoenix
#

I was confused by the kinetic resonance but

#

And how that applied

rare storm
#

And ep gives you 3 BB uses for no cost at all, which (paired with the speed casting boost) lets you use all 3 in one buff duration

#

And the 2nd shield just gives you 3 more BB to cast faster

#

Basically big stonk dmg boost on first 3 bb, then last 3 bb for when or if the boss isn't dead yet

zinc phoenix
#

I wish they’d reroll smite from “hold to electrocute” to “fire off chain lightning with left click” and give it a high peril cost like for BB

#

Then it’d fit better with empower

zinc phoenix
rare storm
#

ye it's not perfect, but it does fit some players playstyle

#

Honestly idk anything before patch 13, I preordered the game, played on launch for like a month and stopped lol

#

came back because of 13

rare storm
#

So use shield once, use all your EP stacks

#

Use shield again for non-ep bb

#

sry I linked the wrong thing

zinc phoenix
#

Derp I mixed it with the use peril instead of stamina for blocking trait

#

Kinetic deflection

#

2 kinetic 2 remember

rare storm
#

My warp polluted mind can't remember all this shit

summer prairie
#

it's worth noting that BB with resonance+EP kills in 1.1s, resonance in ~1.42s and BB with no buffs in 2.25s. Just comparing the total cast times with post-kill animations doesn't tell the whole story

fluid knot
#

Can shut down a pack of shooters pretty well, but its inconsistent as all fuck

#

Not to mention it does not work on snipers which is like the one fucking enemy they should work against if they want to have any means of competing with the other grenades

queen fog
#

Funny sniper goggles going crazy I guess

fluid knot
#

Summat like that

#

But from a gameplay standpoint it mostly makes them a dead pick

silk hawk

I think the intention was to use Bio-Optic with smokes, but like, thats so much points investment to manage

summer prairie

#

And you give up soooo many potential damage perks to do that

1.4s total EP resonance BB cast time from kill to kill

The slight nerf to this build in patch 14 didn't really change anything. The build still does a crazy amount of damage all while being very tanky.

so do i slap here maniacs or 10% elites?

Oh bolt was my favourite staff in vt2.

plucky flax

I dunno why void feels so ass compared to bolt.

Wait it's a fucking surge staff

plucky flax

Slower projectile and less damage I guess.

I need to try shroudfield zealot i always miss charge when i take shroudfield though

Smite surge. Be emperor Palp.

Either pygrex or syllogism

little merlin

is it worth buying

#

Oh yea. I modified my current surge staff to have that +5 crit

rare storm

Ya that's fine, if you want more reliable damage, Flakiac or Flak/elite is good

is this worth buying from the weekly mission guy for 2700

I've had the rectangle shield bug out and place perpendicularly fairly consistently when used in certain elevator doors, maybe this was the case

It will only ever be a straight line so you have to turn

It doesn't work with that, unfortunately

rare quiver
#

Hi guys, I am new, any good assail build here?

olive ember
#

I mean just take true aim and all the assail augments and assail is good

#

also take empowered psionics

hollow jolt
#

Also anything that buffs warp-based attacks helps

#

Just be aware that assail drops off on the higher difficulties

#

So polish your melee skills and staff

west stream
#

Depends on if you want assail as main source of damage or as horde clear so you can use guns with scry or smth

strong gulch
#

I agree with those recs; though I haven't played or built with assail as my main tool. So take that with a grain of salt.

west stream
#

For pure assail, crucian roulette revolvers are popular to carry empty

rare quiver
#

And what my range weapon?
Big orb staff?

strong gulch
#

I like to use assail as a quick swap option. I'll also use it to supplement ammo on gun builds.

west stream
#

Same

#

I use pistol for high priority targets or sword most of time but burst from assail is nice to break up a group and save some ammo

rare quiver
#

Revolver or laser pistol?

west stream
#

I run both, like laser pistol more

west stream
#

I feel a revolver works best if you are a bit more assail heavy, talent wise

steel flame
#

Ah it's so nice to see that my laspistol propaganda is self propagating now

west stream
#

It has excellent damage vs armour and you can leave it empty with crucian while you unleash assail

west stream
#

Headshots/crit with laspistol is grand

#

I have it with ghost so i can just shoot at gunner squads and take no hits

steel flame
west stream
#

Results may vary if you panick and bodyshot

steel flame
west stream
#

Good to know

#

Must have overlooked it

strong gulch
# rare quiver Revolver or laser pistol?

I like both. Though I favor revolver.

I use them in very different ways tho. I'll dump laspistiol into bosses and gunners. I am more measured with revolver and focus on more specials while also picking off elites.

Dueling swords ends up doing a lot of work when I play either.

steel flame
#

Laspistol has base 20% crit rate

west stream
#

Will open up future variants

agile garden
#

What talent build best synergizes with Telekine Shield on Auric/Maelstrom?

I was thinking it is probably Smite because it is too hard to target one enemy to brain rupture out of 50 crushers coming at you. I'm thinking assail is better off using something else maybe?

steel flame
#

You can boost the to 45% with feats

#

And then 65% with scrier

west stream
#

Crit to win

surreal hound
# steel flame FALSE

I second this asail only has issues with carapace and that's it and also questionable if you can get crits it can break 200ish a dart

If you mag dump assail into something it going to die unless it's carapace or a monstrosity

strong gulch
#

hand cannon assail whatthefuck_heresy

steel flame
# west stream Crit to win

Long as you are shooting something, anything you are immune to all ranged damage, and shotguns, snipers gunners and reapers become non threats

west stream
#

I love dumping assail into dogs and scab gunners in maelstrom

#

Works well vs muties too at times

#

But dueling heavy to head is as good unless its a mass of em

If you’re a psyker main you don’t shower and play genshin. Bozos

I dont play genshin

They nerfed the damage by around 20%, you gotta run Warp Nexus and Perfect Timing now (with the other blessing being Surge or Flurry) to have it feel good.

Flurry for better sustained DPS and Surge for RNG bursts obviously

Which guns do you guys find work best if you wanna try gun Psyker?

west stream

You just want my corpsestarch you hungry bastard

Just please don't bring a recon lasgun

Pistols

Laser pistol and revolver, believe it

Gotta say the force push on pistol is nice

harsh urchin

#

Was looking for something to try Scrier’s with so. Might try pistol

harsh urchin
#

generally its the crit headshot guns

feral knoll
#

So. Pistols

#

But you can make the other two work

olive ember
#

laspistols

#

vraks hh autoguns

#

those are the good options

#

everything else is meh

#

revolver sounds good but too much down time cuz 5 shot mag and long ass reload

feral knoll
#

And we don’t talk about recon lasgun

olive ember
#

mg Ia i heard is decent too but never seen any clips of it

agile garden
#

I want to like Smite but I'm never finding the right time to use it. Can anyone give me advice on that?

olive ember
#

eh its good for hordes I guess

#

thats about it

#

and elite/special spam

#

the problem is that you have to wait for your team to kill enemies for you

#

which is a problem with most people who play this struggle with anything past normal damnation

strong gulch
west stream
#

Doorway? Smite

#

Elites?

#

Believe it or not, smite

agile garden
olive ember
west stream
#

Its a control tool mostly

feral knoll
#

Smite won’t kill. But it’ll make sure everyone else can kill

summer prairie
#

just run creeping flames with it and it kills fine

west stream
#

While smiting an ally can easily land all weakspot hits or cleaves

#

Or do that lol

#

Shock and burn

feral knoll
#

Another question for a Scrier build

Any melee weapons that have good wide sweeping moves for hordes that isn’t the one force sword?

#

Illisi. However it’s spelled. Any beside that?

west stream
#

Catachan one?

#

I hear people like mk V dueling

#

Personally i run mk IV dueling

summer prairie
#

it's also going to get some elite kills instead of your SB which helps with perilous combustion triggering

strong gulch
#

I haven't played much with the devil's claws, but one of them might be what you're looking for.

plucky flax
#

For vet anyway I dunno about infantry lasgun on psyker.

feral knoll
#

Damn. I’m really just going back to the default load out they give me at level 1. Laspistol and Devil’s Claw

#

it's not perfect but doesn't matter

because you lose the stacks all the time between encounters, even on auric maelstorm?

Takes barely any time at all to get them back

It lacks consistency for a stacking buff that you need to maintain to get the benefit out of. It's similar to the warp charge situation stack fall off also.

If you have said stacks and you worked to get them only for you to not get a mark to refresh or keep the buff it doesn't feel good. Vs like EP or WS which has basically kill elites get stacks or other ways to generate

Not really, but some are amazing.

west stream
#

Yet even in his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.

To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.```

You don't need to run staves, you can play gunker or melee only, anything works fine

#

but smite's talent nodes + EP affect the Surge staff (except enfeeble)

#

so... you can do with what you will with that information

why surge staff?

Or void staff which is basically a rocket launcher.

That can cleave.

there's two ways to build voidstrike-

crit goes nexus + surge and tries to get the big double hits

non-crit goes flurry+transfer and you can spam nonstop without ever quelling

Valid. I recently put them on. Last night was the first time that I encountered the combo of me on surge with another player using smite. Almost seemed like their smite over road my surge. Like whomever applied their lightening first was the only one who could do it.

With smite buff affecting surge, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

BUT, I was also tired last night. So I could either remember wrongly or misinterpreted things. I can't freely test it either way.
