what are the ideal ones for a trauma staff?

near wyvern
#

check Atheneum

viscid matrix
dark radish
#

I mean force sword

near wyvern
#

check Atheneum

gloomy magnet
#

nice guide, but I am short of materials for forging

shell maple
#

Is Psyker the weakest class right now?

near wyvern
gloomy magnet
#

glass cannon class

shell maple
near wyvern
gloomy magnet
#

psyker's flesh is weak

near wyvern
#

there are absolute monster builds for vets as well

#

currently it seems all classes have strong builds but what differs is the amount / flexibility of the builds

#

ogryns probs being in the strongest spot right now in that they are just absolute powerhouses

#

psyker struggle a bit with monstrosity damage unless you are running a very few specific builds

shell maple
#

Recently lvl’d all 4 classes to 30 and felt i had easiest time on Ogryn and hardest time on Psyker

near wyvern
#

well Psyker's don't really get good until you start to get good gear and unlock your talents

#

it's a rough start but they scale well

vestal fulcrum
#

And you are made of glass through and throughout, still

shell maple
#

I mean non of the other classes punishes u with a down lol (i need to manage peril better)

near wyvern
#

Exhibition A, it's not only the class it's also the person who is playing that class

plucky flax
#

Hard to call vet weakest now with how op their shout is currently.

#

Maybe slowest at dealing damage.

sturdy dagger
#

Its like there only redeeming feature to be fair

near wyvern
vestal fulcrum
#

I’d argue Zealot is currently bringing the least to the table of all classes

near wyvern
#

vets seem to get the narrowest "meta" build variety this patch

vestal fulcrum
#

But that may have something to do with my bias towards Ogryns

plucky flax
#

Zealot with martyrdom is still so tanky and do so much melee damage while being super slippery.

near wyvern
sturdy dagger
#

Ogryns seem really op rn yet I see so few of them in my games

plucky flax
#

I think the problem with ogryn is it sort of struggle in solo clutch situation because slow movement and big hit box.

#

Shooters

vestal fulcrum
#

I may just be playing with competent people of all things…

plucky flax
#

Zealot has the most versatile melee for me with combat axe. Can horde and elites clear exceptionally well.

sturdy dagger
plucky flax
#

Also decent monster damage with heavies on combat axe.

undone carbon
#

hsword v fun, i call mine the blender

plucky flax
#

I prefer antax myself for better elites clear. whatthefuck_heresy

gloomy magnet
#

psyker has auto-aim, i like it <.<

plucky flax
#

The bm change is very good.

near wyvern
plucky flax
#

Way faster horde clear with bm axe now.

near wyvern
#

yeah combat axe zealots never get old

undone carbon
#

mm i should try axes again its been a while

plucky flax
#

You don't get unlimited cleave but you kill 4 enemies per swing.

undone carbon
#

my hsword been glued to my zealot's hand for ages

plucky flax
#

Before you kill 1 or 2 and did like 20 damage to the rest.

crude trout
#

for hordes, combat axes only use push attacks or we can kill the horde with lights? I feel like my antax combat axe light 1 and 2 for me only kill 2 poxwalkers

near wyvern
crude trout
#

i have BM 4

vestal fulcrum
#

Push attacks are mostly for making space on CAxes - they have worse damage values than regular light attacks

near wyvern
#

yup

#

you only push attack to make a breather and then throw some lights in there

#

during a horde

vestal fulcrum
#

Thus, BM benefits more from swinging Lights at enemies’ heads

crude trout
#

also for taller characters, would achlys be a good contender for BM axe since you can QQ cancel or block cancel heavy 1 hordes?

#

and heavy 1 is a sweep

near wyvern
#

heavy 1 is too slow

vestal fulcrum
#

You can, but it’s extremely gimmicky

crude trout
#

ahh I see

near wyvern
#

unsafe

vestal fulcrum
#

And not very effective, either

#

Rashad still reigns supreme, sadly

crude trout
#

yeah i think I'll try giving c axes a go with my zealot and psyker

bleak tulip
#

I remember the push attac caxe meta caden

#

what a terrible time

near wyvern
#

I remember crucian roulette knife

#

that was fun while it lasted

#

was fun while it lasted

#

oh wait wrong video

#

lmao

#

there

crude trout
#

ay sorry wanted to ask if anyone tested how much benefit does the cleave targets stat of the antax has over the rashad?

vestal fulcrum
near wyvern
#

cleave targets only mean you stagger more of them

vestal fulcrum
#

But it’s not a dealbreaker in any regard

near wyvern
#

you still only deal like 10 damage to them

frail sand
#

is there any way to make blazing spirit on force sword work

near wyvern
#

currently, no

frail sand
#

dammit

near wyvern
#

I mean

#

you can make a pretty visual

#

but in terms of actual damage, no

frail sand
#

this is the real buff

crude trout
#

aww ok , I now feel sad for my first 545 Antax axe on my psyker

vestal fulcrum
crude trout
#

😦

vestal fulcrum
#

But enemies die too quickly to regular attacks* for BS to take effect

frail sand
#

fatshark pls buff

#

the concept is so cool

near wyvern
#

the problem is not helped by:

  • blazing spirit does not trigger if the crit kills the target
  • wildfire spreading bugs
frail sand
near wyvern
#

for blazing spirit to work we would at least need it to trigger with wildfire on a crit kill and they would at the very least fix the single stack vanishing bug from wildfire

frail sand
#

welp in the corner to collect dust this force sword with soulblaze 4 will go

near wyvern
#

yup, bank it, some day it might be meta

vestal fulcrum
#

The option is there, but its viability currently is questionable.

near wyvern
frail sand
#

lmao

near wyvern
#

making some candles

still hearth
#

Can you wet corpses on fire with blazing

vestal fulcrum
#

I wonder if there would be a niche for BS sword to have an acceptable degree of Monster DPS, but then the stack limit is making it difficult to justify, still

frail sand
#

if the sword has soulblaze flames

near wyvern
#

I don't think with blazing spirit but definitely with purgatus, and so on

frail sand
#

then i dont care if it's good i will use it

near wyvern
#

oh wait

#

it might

#

haven't tested it

#

but I think staff blazing spirit does

#

so there is a possibility

still hearth
#

Then maybe it works if you hit bodies

#

Get the wildfire going

#

Like kindling

near wyvern
#

but even though wildfire triggers off from bodies (after soulblaze ends on them) it's not really that beneficial

still hearth
#

You can try to use it with low ragdoll count

near wyvern
#

the problem is if you keep on applying it to the corpse it will never spread 🙈

still hearth
#

But yeah

#

It's not good

vestal fulcrum
#

By the way, since we’re talking force swords and such, what typically is the swarm clear combo of attacks for Illisi? Is it light spam for non-mixed, trash only hordes, and light/heavy mix against mixed hordes, or is there something else I should consider? (Obviously special attacks help with mixed-in elites and toughness restoration with Soulstealer)

near wyvern
#

@frail sand your best bet is an Illisi with Shred and Blazing Spirit. Bonus points for running Gaze and Battle Meditation as well.

frail sand
#

the blazing spirit force sword shall go to the same corner as the blazing spirit trauma staff

still hearth
#

Blazing trauma is actually good though

bleak tulip
#

blaze trauma is still goated

near wyvern
#

blaze trauma is meta

#

if you have the right rolls

still hearth
#

Unlike the sword trauma doesn't kill in the big aoe

frail sand
#

i think i have a reasonable one

still hearth
#

So you can set a lot on fire

near wyvern
#

and you can do all this while making a safe heaven for your team

#

bonus points for bringing in stun shileds or dome

bleak tulip
#

I dont know the exact ratio but its not crazy if like a third or half your damage might be soublaze with it

frail sand
#

i have both the blazkng variant and the rending shockwave variant anyway

still hearth
#

To be fair plenty of it might be overkill

frail sand
#

if only blast radius was 80%

still hearth
#

If you then hit them with the trauma

bleak tulip
#

you already get a shitton of SB damage just from creeping flames and perilous combustion

near wyvern
still hearth
#

That's a nutty staff

vestal fulcrum
near wyvern
#

hurts to see 380 so close to optimal

bleak tulip
#

dont let perfect be the enemy of great, thats a good staff

frail sand
#

I cannot for the life of me get a good illisi to roll, however

vestal fulcrum
#

This is the one I have

frail sand
#

getting a good grey base is proving to be a challenge lmao

bleak tulip
#

nobody actually runs perfect weapons because the 1% to get to 100% perfection takes like a thousand hours of plasteel grinding

crude trout
#

I cannot get a trauma staff that has a base rating of more than 375

vestal fulcrum
#

Damage dump stat pepega

near wyvern
frail sand
#

there's no blazing spirit 4 on trauma staff right

near wyvern
#

correct

crude trout
#

for blaze trauma do you guys get the crit aura or no

still hearth
#

Mo

#

No never

crude trout
#

i feel like the 10% cd reduction is universally useful morso than the other auras

still hearth
#

The CDR is too stupid

#

It's 17.5% rn too

#

Because Fatshark

frail sand
#

wait what

#

how do they screw that up

summer prairie
#

you can't get it even if cdr aura wasn't amazing because you want shriek for the build

still hearth
#

Not the first time they bug auras

near wyvern
#

if you are running fire shout take 10% ability reduction, if you are planning to stack up on warp sihpon charges and never give those up, get the 5% crit, if you take dome or stun shields it's up to you both work

still hearth
#

Zealot used to lose their aura if they took certain nodes in the old talent system

frail sand
near wyvern
#

calssic fatshark

vestal fulcrum
near wyvern
#

there is a bugged out talent for veteran right now which causes them to take increased damage

vestal fulcrum
#

I’m genuinely curious, because it’s the first time I heard about it KEKW_ogryn

still hearth
rare storm
#

Which one is that

vestal fulcrum
frail sand
#

I need an aura to prevent teammate from shooting poxbursters when im pushing it

rare storm
still hearth
#

Veteran also gets stun immunity if they take improved grenades

near wyvern
vestal fulcrum
#

Because of course they do

rare storm
#

This one ya

near wyvern
#

yup

still hearth
#

I'm pretty sure it's intended to work when you have the grenade out

#

But it just happens constantly

frail sand
#

It will be sorely missed when it gets patched

vestal fulcrum
near wyvern
rare storm
#

That's insane that's almost a 50% increase in damage taken

near wyvern
#

FS thought vets were too strong so they slipped in a couple hidden nerfs in there figuring no one would notice xD

rare storm
frail sand
#

Should rework it into a talent called "Glass Cannon"

#

you take 30% increased toughness dmg but you dish out 15% more dmg

shell maple
near wyvern
#

yup

#

I assume Surge staff EP will be fixed next patch as well

#

Wildfire has been bugged since it was released

#

but they don't have time to look after that sorta stuff

frail sand
#

the rectangle shield is so fun to use

wet belfry
#

Oh my god

frail sand
#

making mutants bonk on the wall

rare storm
wet belfry
#

I thought veteran had 4 toughness talents with 2 of them being good

rare storm
#

otherwise, eh it'll be fine

wet belfry
#

Apparently only 1 of them is good.

#

💀

shell maple
still hearth
frail sand
#

do they?

still hearth
#

Kinda

#

They treat it as a wall if their target dodges

frail sand
#

is that even intentional

near wyvern
#

yeah seemed to notice this in last game

still hearth
#

Probably not

#

I have a clip somewhere

frail sand
#

lmao fatshark pls

rare storm
near wyvern
#

I gotta go replicate it and add to atheneum

frail sand
rare storm
#

Like a rat in a bucket

the fact that the game even runs is a miracle

#

There you go

near wyvern
#

lmao thanks

still hearth
#

It's 100% consistent

rare storm
#

Somebody mentioned that the dome is probably a solid wall that the players can walk through

frail sand
#

lol wtf

near wyvern
#

and triggers on their target dodge

#

without damaging the shield

#

uwu

still hearth
#

I swear I've had muties stuck on dome too

#

In specific situations

lunar hollow
#

my favorite is bursters having a heart attack and infinitely lunging backwards

still hearth
#

Old surge

#

Making bursters do the worm

lunar hollow
#

almost makes me feel bad for them

frail sand
#

oh yeah, what actually makes mutants stop when u zap them with surge staff?

rare storm
frail sand
#

it feels like it takes 2 zaps?

rare storm
#

oo a rangefinder

#

interesting

still hearth
#

Range indicator yeah

#

I don't use it

#

Idk why I have it on

bleak tulip
#

more numbers more good

frail sand
#

more info = more skillz

still hearth
#

I think it was for testing

rare storm
#

The less of the game I see the better

still hearth
#

And then I never turned it off

rare storm
#

Somebody in the zealot chat has a disgusting hud

#

Everything is centered on the crosshair

#

God knows what the guy is looking at

lunar hollow
#

theres a lot of fucked up hud mods

#

that are just absolutely ghoulish

shell maple
#

Btw is Surge staff AOE or Single Target only?

rare storm
#

4 if you're using the smite node for +1 jump

near wyvern
#

alright, added that dome interaction to Atheneum

frail sand
#

that is kinda dumb too ngl

still hearth
#

Isn't it 2 targets base

frail sand
#

why is the smite node affecting surge zap

still hearth
#

And 3 with smite

rare storm
#

This then

near wyvern
#

yeah surge staff is 2 targets base +1 with the smite modifier

still hearth
#

If you have the EP bug then the secondary can actually kill small enemies

#

On crits at least

#

Does like 400~ damage

near wyvern
#

warp siphon + perfect timing + warp rider and you can kill lesser enemies with half charge

#

even without EP

rare storm
bleak tulip
#

it must use the same function or something for sure yeah

#

only became a noticable problem when they raised smite damage in EP tho Kekw

rare storm
#

The bug could've been with us from the very start but nobody noticed it

frail sand
#

just did a recolor of the zap

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

some turnbonerd likely knew this was a bug in 13 but it didnt really matter

still hearth
#

What if its intentional

#

That would be something

near wyvern
#

it's effing not

still hearth
#

Then we just need a BB and Assail stafg

rare storm
still hearth
#

Lets go

rare storm
frail sand
#

it's only a bug if it's not (yet) intentional

viscid matrix
#

It’s never intentional

still hearth
#

Everything is intentional to me until its fixed

rare storm
#

We will never know the mysterious ways of FS

still hearth
#

This game is too buggy to tell

near wyvern
#

when something buffs us, it's a bug, when something is not working as it is supposed to work, it's a hidden feature

bleak tulip
#

getting intentionally dodged by malding vets in pub lobbies

still hearth
#

Lmao

#

Vet chat told me Vet has better melee than Zealot

viscid matrix
bleak tulip
#

its always vets too its fuckin comical

rare storm
#

Throw back to yesterday when my vet purposely ran into daemonhosts to try and kill the entire team twice

viscid matrix
#

Vets don’t like being outshone by everyone

bleak tulip
#

I've hada zealot player just stand still for like minutes at a time when both me and another psyker brought bugged surge

#

but they didnt leave

still hearth
#

They were too used to being OP

frail sand
bleak tulip
#

they just coasted

viscid matrix

#

look, it's not op, psykers just have better gaming socks

still hearth
#

They complained back then too

#

Vets are the whiniest

#

Psykers have the best skirts too

I had a very weird ass game yesterday. Had a Plague Ogryn spawn on the team, all the rest completely ignored him and a couple specials and continued pushing on. I had to solo the Plague Ogryn, the flamer and the mutant and obivously took some damge while doing so. No biggies I go for the slurp in health station. A chaos spawn enters, again, the team continues except the other psyker this time, I mostly tank the chaos spawn and then get hitted by a net through the monster. The other team members just let me be there in the net until I have 10% hp bar uncorrupted. I go for another slurp since there is a ledge and there is still some medicae left in the station. They vote kick me out.

#

weird shit

still hearth
#

And if you didn't run the good nodes Vet felt pretty meh

#

old vet had the strongest melee, strongest grenade, strongest ranged (ignoring zealot flamer at the time) and had good toughness. felt so boring to play

So far on auric damnation i ever kicked only people that go afk forever...

wet belfry
#

If you run surge staff with bug dont expect me to come running to you when you need help

#

Hell id rather have you dead for the entire mission if i could choose.

echo frigate
#

Do people seriously not like people using bugs? Like if you win you gives a flying f

#

Who*

wet belfry
#

I dont care if we win ultimately

#

I care about how the game experience in itself is.

echo frigate
#

And surge is good but not that good, it randomly decides to not hit the people in front of you

echo frigate

#

A surge staff nuking every single thing that dares approach us is not the defintion of engaging fun.,

They started the map's mid event while I was soloing plague ogryn

and vote kicked me

It doesnt matter difficulty

with the plague ogryn's hp at around 60%-ish

#

and this was in normal damnation

echo frigate

But higher difficulties I promise there's enough elites to go around

near wyvern

because it was a long day at work yesterday and I wanted to relax

so normal damnation for me

Just had this french guy call me a stupid dog for soloing the horde instead of reviving him

crude trout
near wyvern

if people wanna play private games then just put the lobby to private

crude trout

yeah

near wyvern
#

yeah that was my thought

#

but GL speedrunning with monstrosities on your ass

bright mica
#

They probably forgot to set it to private and wanted their 4th friend to join

crude trout
#

and saying that the boss didn't spawn is impossible since , you know, their HP shows in your UI

near wyvern
#

just a bit dick move to do so without saying anything

crude trout
#

kinda sucks ass tho since, your 4th rando solo'd a boss and will attempt to kill yet another boss and then you kick them

#

like wut????

#

hahhh

near wyvern
#

one time I was playing with my friends we asked a guy (just hot joined) if they could leave the mission so our friend could get in

#

he was kind, wished us good luck and left to another mission

the quick cast or the damage buff or the extra target?

you thought there was only one bug?

is quickcast quell cancel?

ahh I thought there was a bug that allowed you to instantly charged up the surge

right thought so cos i tried to qc it earlier didn't work

shell maple
eternal escarp
#

actually speaking of, i was using your Deimos + Surge + Smite build earlier pygex and what do you do for boss/carapace? both deimos special and surge spam felt similar

near wyvern

aight, I listed all the three surge bugs to atheneum so if you are feeling lazy you can direct people there

It does ok damage to beast of nurgle but yeah not great

near wyvern
#

@rigid rune that staff will do great things if you swap unyieling to flak and play it with warp siphon, inner tranquility, warp battery and battle meditation

#

will go on for days

rigid rune
#

Already running that lol

#

minus battle meditation

near wyvern
#

try it

rigid rune
#

I've got venting shriek which seems to work fine enough for peril management

near wyvern
#

battle meditation with flurry and inner tranq will make you giggle during hordes and mixed hordes

#

venting shreik is nice but drops your inner tranq stacks

glossy ember
#

ok maths wise, can surge make use of battle meditation?

near wyvern
#

if you are using inner tranq then yes, otherwise you can't tell the difference

glossy ember
#

or not enough horde killing power

#

whats inner tranq

near wyvern
#

bonus points for battery

#

hm

near wyvern

6*(-6%) = -36% peril cost

I had fun with surge but I didn't want to crutch on it then have them remove the bug

near wyvern
#

why scrier's with surge??? xD

heady garnet
#

RIP old nomanus cc

near wyvern
#

surge generates a ton of peril

glossy ember
#

yeah but it works

coarse bane
#

Deimos is great, I have a 380 with really good stats.

near wyvern
#

I would drop the movement speed from scrier's for battle medi

#

but then again

#

if you are really wanting to stack up on those warp siphons you would just take all out of scrier modifiers

#

cause you would want to be hanging on to those stacks

coarse bane
#

If they don't patch surge staff next patch than it might be intended.

glossy ember
#

but then i wouldn't use scrier THONK

near wyvern
#

yes

#

except

#

during the very first fight

glossy ember
#

why would i do that

silk hawk
glossy ember
#

that doesn't sound really useful

#

might as well run a diff ult

near wyvern
#

cause inner trang + full battery is +24% damage and -36% peril cost all the time

#

unless you drop the stacks

#

by ulting

glossy ember
#

but you get them back real fast

#

by killing elites

near wyvern
#

assuming someone else doesn't get to finish the elites before you

orchid nest
#

could be a hotfix or patch any moment now. even if it doesn't contain a surge fix though it probably just means it's in the certification process still with microsoft for a patch coming up

#

Ye i rock surge with warp charges it's so good )

near wyvern
#

like some random fucker running Psylot build would ruin your day in a blink xD

that's why you blitz cancel (and pray it crits)

near wyvern
#

ew

glossy ember
#

i mean i posted a few clips

#

it works

#

I have no doubt abusing a bug works

glossy ember
#

what

heady garnet
#

During my surge staff arc this happened

glossy ember
#

that's just ani cancelling

heady garnet
#

an assail psyker aggroed a demon host, it broke my mental and i just gave up 😭

glossy ember
#

every class can do it

#

hell I did it on ogryn heavy 1 when I wanted to bonk fast with shovel

rare storm
near wyvern
#

quell cancel is just animation cancelling, you cancel the after cast animation which is just some additional delay, blitz cancel on surge staff is a bit more than that since it cancels the animation but not the damage

glossy ember

Normally if you cancel an attack it prevents the end lag but also prevents further damage

for what it's worth, they specifically went after and removed old surge staff cancels similar to that a little after launch

it just makes you do the final hit

# glossy ember doubt illisi can compete vs current rampage can it

with slaughterer uncanny it can, cause that gives you +40% power and +120% (= +100%) rending, which totals at 1.25 * 1.4 = 1,75 damage multiplier. Rampage is 1.86 because of the +50% bug, so they are pretty close but Illisi can also do this against single targets

glossy ember
#

i see

near wyvern
#

and at some point, when the poxwalkers head comes off it comes off, more damage than that is often not needed

near wyvern

and with uncanny you can keep most of your damage against armoured targets, so you get even higher multipliers if your damage was reduced in the first place

What weapon are you using?

#

If it's crit weapon the toughness on crit is enough, I'd drop soulstealer.

#

And the toughness on peril gain.

#

Anyway whatever build you do always pick combustion and warp rider.

#

They both provide free damage.

left mirage
#

is rampage still bugged

#

or is it only bugged on certain weapons

summer prairie
#

should be bugged on all of them because the bug is in the base template

#

With Combustion there is hard choice for me - it's either other things in tree and will do that damage somehow else. Or it took Combustion and barely use it 🙂

plucky flax
#

It works on any build, any weapon and it has a cap of 31 stacks. So in mixed horde if you manage to land the killing blows on elites it's just loads of free damage. And you only need 2 points investment to get to that talent so it's a very easy pick.

Has anyone noticed with the recent Patch 14, that Brain Burst has been acting very weird? I don't know if it is me or not... I check as my ping is around 40-60 consistently. This wasn't an issue until this patch. I have noticed it happens at least 20% of time using the blitz especially happens with long-range targets more often.

Examples:

  • It keeps changing targets mid-charge when the target itself isn't even dead.
  • Sometimes it targets the wrong person when I pinged an elite/special. It used to prioritize pinged enemies within hordes.
  • Holding right charge to full sometimes fails to burst a target as it recharges again when left clicking.
summer prairie
#

the last issue is due to the rmb charge not properly accounting for faster charge time from EP or kinetic resonance

quasi jacinth

Wow, seriously? At least that answers that for me.

Also the moment you press LMB during your RMB channel you are going to generate more peril per second. If you go RMB always cook it fully/almost full before LMB

Yes, if you want to be hedonistic Executor into Slaughterer and specialist damage into maniac of flak depending on how hard you want to slap mutants.

If you want to play the long game you want to sacrifice this and bank the Executor blessing.

Before you decide you should know Executor is bad in this patch (resets on dot effects, resets if you hit a head and then another enemy body on same swing) but things can obviously change each patch. It might also take hundreds of hours before you see Executor 4 again or you might see it again tomorrow.

Hard choices. If I were you I would be happy with the previous sword and bank the T4 blessing from this one or wait to see it again on another sword before putting this one to use. Farming blessings is a pain.
