strong gulch
#

It's THE reason to take deimos.

bleak tulip
#

oh the image didnt load lmao

#

discord being poopy yeah sure nexus

strong gulch
foggy breach
#

okay fine i'll take flak in place of cara

potent echo
#

The only nonflak elites (for purg) are dreg rager and ogryns

strong gulch
#

Soulbaze is doodoo against cara.

potent echo
#

Unless you do uncanny shenanigans but that's rather niche

strong gulch
#

yup

#

Also keep in mind where on the enemy you're hitting. For your non-aim channels, it's the chest. Which on many of the elites will be flak.

potent echo
#

What does that mean?

strong gulch
#

M2 of purg, surge, and trauma hit the chest.

potent echo
#

It's not really chest, it's just a "explosion/dot" modifier

#

Clear example is reapers, they have flak chest but count as unyielding for dot and explosion

strong gulch
#

Different areas on some enemies have different armor type.

#

Right

sonic whale
#

Quick question, what kind of Psyker Melee weapon fits this outfit? (I wish we could get soulblaze on the dueling sword)

bleak tulip
#

best example

potent echo
#

But that doesn't affect soulblaze damage

bleak tulip
#

reapers will get hit for unyielding

potent echo
#

You aim at mauler head and still soulblaze will use flak modifier for maulers

strong gulch
#

Mauler, gunners, shot gunners, scab ragers will all be flak with M2 on purg, surge, and trauma.

potent echo
#

Yea

#

Like you really want flak on purg

strong gulch
#

That's why flak is generally reccomended.

#

Not cara

potent echo
#

Other weapons have to deal with unarmored dreg gunner heads :🤮

strong gulch
#

RIP

sonic whale
#

Good or bad stats? I've never really used Dueling swords before

bleak tulip
sonic whale
#

The roll was really bad Cri

sonic whale
#

It's what's caused me temporarily to step away from Voidstrike

bleak tulip
#

I mean it being flak is more of an advantage

#

its just weird

#

you dont wanna run cara on it anyway

#

its just.... not how its meant to work

strong gulch
steel flame
#

It's more acceptable than it was

potent echo
#

Crit on flak does more than headshot on cara yea

#

Because

steel flame
#

I'd still rather have the old voudstaff

#

I want my fire void to be good again

bleak tulip
#

no you dont understand

#

void right click weakspots are flak on maulers

#

ignore the crits

potent echo
bleak tulip
#

and the damage

#

yeah

steel flame
#

Oh that

potent echo
#

Lmao

bleak tulip
#

I hit the head every time there

#

true aim stacks go up, crosshair indicator etc

#

flak tho

potent echo
#

Well that's great KEKW_ogryn

steel flame
#

It's because the hit detection is lower than the middle of the projectile

bleak tulip
#

okay but the whole head is cara

#

and it still counts as weakspot

steel flame
#

First contact is made with the flack chest

potent echo
#

True aim stacks

bleak tulip
#

nope

#

true aim goes up, crosshaid orange

#

its weakspot

steel flame
#

If you aim high enough you get cara

potent echo
#

So void ball is explosion

bleak tulip
potent echo
#

Why are you on this hill KEKW_ogryn

bleak tulip
#

I tried this multiple times now

#

Im not trying to prove anything its just an oddity I noticed the other day Kekw

#

I thought it hit the chest as well before thats why I tested it again today

potent echo
#

Can't other explosives headshot actually

bleak tulip
#

and sure enough

#

probably

keen pawn
#

what two perks do I want on purgatus? flak and infested? flak and unarmored?

bleak tulip
#

flak crit I guess?

#

assuming crits still add more SB stacks like they used to

frank moat
#

Flak and Maniac imo for mixed rager hordes

strong gulch
#

Flak + crit chance /maniac (ragers and their thicc hp)

frail sand
#

I forgor, does void have blazing spirit

keen pawn
#

what's SB?

bleak tulip
#

soulblaze

strong gulch
#

There is a case for unyielding if that's your thing

keen pawn
#

I see

strong gulch
#

It can get it

tawny pebble
#

reee i've never gotten kicked before and now i got kicked in games back to back

steel flame
bleak tulip
#

okay but then why does true aim get a stack

steel flame
#

i dont know what to tell you

keen pawn
#

so should I put crit and flak on this then?

frail sand
#

now I want to craft a blazing void even though i have a surge void already

still hearth
#

Ouf

bleak tulip
#

yeah thats like

#

the one stat you really want

#

on purg

steel flame
#

for some reason void is incapable of hitting maulers in the head it seems

bleak tulip
#

okay arguably burn is more important

#

but yeah

steel flame
#

which id call an actual buff honestly

bleak tulip
#

you absolutely can

still hearth
#

Does it explode on them

keen pawn
#

so what's the dump stat then

bleak tulip
#

warp resist quell speed and damage iirc

still hearth
#

Warp resistance

#

You want that peril

bleak tulip
#

you can lose out on those a bit and be perfectly fine

steel flame
#

ive litterally tried every single angle possible and its entirely impossible to land a headshot on the mauler with void

steel flame
#

thats just strange

strong gulch
steel flame
still hearth
#

That's why

feral knoll
#

I like how. After so long. All my builds on the classes just turn into

“Gun”

still hearth
#

It won't show weakspot marker

#

But it does definitely hit weakspots

bleak tulip
#

I mean it does show the marker

still hearth
#

Explisions are weird

bleak tulip
#

its right there

steel flame
#

you on to something actually

clear heath
#

Plasma also hits for flak on maulers regardless of where you aim. Idk if it's counting as weakspot though

bleak tulip
#

thats what im tellin ya

strong gulch
#

LOL. Just tried to buy a white to see if I like the weapon. Forgot to turn off roll until raity mod.

still hearth
#

Ops

bleak tulip
#

you get a weakspot marker, you get true aim stacks, when you charge more on head it full staggers them vs chest hits where it just light staggers

#

but it counts as flak

#

because fatshark?

steel flame
#

i turned my reactive crosshairs on and the hits are being counted as headshots by the crosshairs, and clearly as headshots by true aim.......but not by the maulers in psykanium

#

might just be a psykanium bug

still hearth
#

Explosions

clear heath
#

oh i am getting the crosshair indicator

still hearth
#

Explosions are weird

clear heath
#

Yeah same issue with plasma gun

steel flame
#

its gotta be the psykanium health bars

clear heath
#

I guess one way to make sure is see if flak damage perk does anything

digital narwhal
#

Lowkey wish Blazing Spirit wasn't tied to crits so I could run it with Rending Shockwave without sacrificing chance to proc with no Warp Nexus.

steel flame
#

im gonna go into a mission real quick to shoot a mauler in the head

steel flame
#

which they would inevitably fuck up

marsh briar
#

IS this useable on a specific build or should I just extract one of the blessings ?

fluid knot
#

Dats a good lookin sword right there

still hearth
#

At least on swords

strong gulch
south gull
#

Trauma force staff is ass right?

strong gulch
#

It's good, but a lot of people don't like.

#

It isn't the easiest to use and is a pain to build

prime elk
#

I like it whatthefuck_heresy

tawny pebble
#

not to mention allies keep telling me it blinds them worse than purg

keen pawn
#

it's ass by comparison to other staves imo. It's not a bad weapon. Just by comparison.

tawny pebble
#

even though i'm not using it close range

digital narwhal
#

My god, look at the size of that blade.

digital narwhal
#

Trauma is really strong

south gull
#

Skull I burnt a lot of plasteel thinking it was a different staff Skull

keen pawn
#

A force flail would be nice. Like the one sienna has in VT2.

strong gulch
#

fire dagger 🥲

steel flame
#

um

#

actually

steel flame
#

well i went into a mission

#

and well

#

i wasnt able to headshot a mauler with anything actually

#

....

#

dafuq fatshark

fluid knot
#

The models for which look tight as fuck

fluid knot
#

Ooh not seen that yet

#

Thats dope

digital narwhal
#

We already know about other Force Staff Variants in the files, too

fluid knot
#

Content drought is finally over?!

digital narwhal
#

There's also the slug version of the Kickback for Ogryn

#

The "Thugshot" I think

fluid knot
#

Aye, that one im on the fence about

#

Kinda sad its not a Stubcannon

bleak tulip
#

and they dont fall over if you just chest shot em

steel flame
#

and im not getting headshots

bleak tulip
#

wat

steel flame
#

in mission

bleak tulip
#

okay now that I know for sure isnt real

#

well

clear heath
#

I need to see footage of this

bleak tulip
#

I mean I can do that with duel sword

#

1000%

steel flame
#

lol

#

i had you goin

frank moat
#

???

steel flame
#

but yeah voidstrike isnt proccing headshots in mission either

digital narwhal
#

This was found

steel flame
#

thats dope

#

i want it

digital narwhal
#

Hopefully it's for all three lil' 'uns

#

and not just Vet/Zealot

steel flame
#

i need a bold pistol in my life now

#

as if they will get a bolter to psyker

#

i know better than to get my hopes up

frank moat
#

Yea I can't see it happening

digital narwhal
steel flame
#

i know

#

thats besides the point

digital narwhal
#

Not Godwyn-Pattern Bolters, but... at least Bolt Pistols.
So I just hope we get it, too.

steel flame
#

hope we get infernus pistols at some point

#

i wanna melt through some shields and shit

#

though that might be outside the power level for darktide

fluid knot
digital narwhal
#

Maybe we'll get a content drop before Christmas

#

It'd certainly be a good idea for them

#

It's been a while since the last Content Drop if you don't count the Skill Trees

fluid knot
#

Aye, well they probably have the manpower to actually do so now the lions share of the team isnt gonna be working on console version ney more

digital narwhal
#

I seriously doubt it was a majority of the team working on the console port tbh

proven stirrup
#

I will give FS one thing. The Class Overhaul patch came with some serious optimizations and I have no idea what they changed to make my [ptatp gain so much but I'm grateful for it. I can actually do better in missions now

fluid knot
#

Like contractual obligations to MS, a time limit... yeah that could take up a lot of bodies

digital narwhal
#

What if they had like... 2 guys on it for the past year

#

Bullied 2 poor dudes into porting the game to console

wary sleet
#

i imagine rending shockwave would be pretty decent. idk how well blazing spirit is.

wary sleet
#

and obvoiusly the groaners/pox has to go

fluid knot
#

But hey, maybe staff turnover is why it took so long KEKW_ogryn

spark fractal
digital narwhal
#

I mean, if we look at VT2, it took them like a whole year to get something substantial out, and then patches n' content started flowing.

#

Hopefully that's the case with DT

#

and we're at the point of more rapid updates.

robust sierra
#

if you guys dont mind me asking, what are the best blessings for the deimos sword?

potent echo
#

VT2 wasn't a live service though

fluid knot
potent echo
#

They aren't leaking money every month paying for servers

#

So they need more engagement so people buy more cosmetics

sonic whale
#

Yay or nay? The damage looks horrible

robust sierra
#

just upgraded it to this, is precog any good?

potent echo
robust sierra
sonic whale
#

Scrolls up

robust sierra
#

with uncanny

sonic whale
robust sierra
#

lol

strong gulch
robust sierra
#

I think this is the luckiest I got in so long

robust sierra
potent echo
#

Slaughterer if you plan to horde clear with it, but with such a roll I probably won't touch precog

robust sierra
#

yeah I think I'll stick with precog

strong gulch
robust sierra
#

cause im not gonna hordeclear

#

I run it on my smite build so hordes I just smite

#

what about perks? keep carapace?

bleak tulip
#

it's better than stam that's for sureKEKW_ogryn

potent echo
#

Carapace is ok, Deimos doesn't really struggle for breakpoints I think

#

You don't need maniac to poke mutants oneshot

robust sierra
#

haven't changed yet

robust sierra
#

so I could switch stamina to like

potent echo
#

So usually I go unyielding

robust sierra
#

flak?

#

unyielding

#

that's right

#

yeah I think I'll do that

potent echo
#

Flak like everything dies anyway

robust sierra
#

ye

strong gulch
potent echo
#

If you take flak is only for flak rager

#

Maniac only for dreg rager

strong gulch
#

mutie

potent echo
#

You can oneshot without

robust sierra
#

can one shot all yeah

#

with deimos

strong gulch
#

the bread and butter of deimos

robust sierra
#

I think Ill do carapace and unyielding cause I'll be using it on big targets anyways

potent echo
#

And mauler head is carapace so flak not super important

#

Yea that would work

#

You can test scab gunner but I think it should easily oneshot

#

Without flak

robust sierra
#

as for the illisi, what do you guys think?

#

this is my current

#

I could try to get that souleblaze one

#

I forget what it's called

potent echo
#

You could, but

frank moat
#

I can't unbuffed H2 one-tap a Mutie without +25% Mutants 😫

robust sierra
# robust sierra

I run illisi completely opposite to deimos, on my BB build where I need hordeclear melee

frank moat
#

Ye

strong gulch
#

With high damage and first target, I think the min needed is 20% maniac. Get that maniac

frank moat
#

I had been running Maniac, just swapped it out to test based on what they were talking about

potent echo
#

My Deimos doesn't have maniac and it can, I mean depends on your damage rolls I guess

frank moat
#

It's not a perfect Deimos but I'm broke

potent echo
#

I'll have to check again susgryn

strong gulch
potent echo
#

There's warp rider too giving 10% extra damage if you have that

strong gulch
#

Yup. Always take that.

frank moat
#

Oh true I do

potent echo
#

On 28 of October I was testing and it oneshot mutants without +mutant 🤔

#

Didn't take a video though

frigid sparrow
#

What kind of buff would you design to make purge feel better?

frank moat
#

Double zombie spawns KEKW_ogryn

potent echo
#

I think purg is already pretty strong, I will welcome any buffs though

#

Removing max stacks for example KEKW_ogryn

frigid sparrow
#

Omg yes

#

Crits give 3 stacks

#

❤️

potent echo
#

Make shotgunners suppressable, is the other thing

#

They just walk through purg and blast you not cool

strong gulch
strong gulch
#

So this sword also can't H2 one shot on its own.

Warp rider fixes that issue tho.

strong gulch
#

Also yes, the illisi skin on a deimos constantly confuses me too.

orchid nest
potent echo
#

Yea, maybe that was it

orchid nest
#

if you remove mutant from it but you're still in the psykhanium it won't update right away, you have to leave and come back

potent echo
#

I've gaslit myself

#

Apologies to anyone that lost plasteel because of my fake news KEKW_ogryn

orchid nest
#

I only know cause syllogism figured that out this morning and had the same thing happen to him

strong gulch
#

😭

crystal oxide
#

Watched a few vids on the potential of gun psyker, does it actually work as well as advertised? Having almost constant 30% ish crit chance up?

orchid nest
#

yeah it's pretty good right now in general. you can make anything work but the popular ones are columnus, laspistol, and revolver it seems like

digital narwhal
#

I'm quite fond of Revolver and Columnus IAG for Gun Psyker.

lyric burrow
#

Vraks 3 is also good

#

And laspistol

crystal oxide
#

It got me curious, because I found out the magic of making a very effective crit Vraks VII reliably 6 shot even Damnation Crushers to the head

lyric burrow
#

That was just mentioned

#

Im dumb

crystal oxide
#

But looking at the stats on gun pysker, then get even more crit uptime

frigid sparrow
#

The elevator bugged out in my match guys

#

Like, it didn't exist

potent echo
#

Columnus crit string with true aim gives you 100% crits if you can full auto into weakspots

frigid sparrow
#

at all

crystal oxide
#

So wanted to know if that's possible or not

frigid sparrow
#

We all had to leave the game

potent echo
#

And with empathic that's a little crazy ngl

crystal oxide
#

Can still run assail for trash clear too yeah?

lyric burrow
potent echo
lyric burrow
#

Yeah assail good

crystal oxide
#

Or does using Gaze lock out assail.

frigid sparrow
#

Theres another bug I keep running into where a warp battery spawns in a box for the nearby medicae station

lyric burrow
#

Illisi and dclaw still exist and whatnot

potent echo
lyric burrow
#

Ds can horde clear if your taking scriers

#

Actually gaze is right under assail

crystal oxide
#

I might actually make a psyker char proper and run with em

potent echo
#

They are all right side

crystal oxide
#

Something satisfying about being a proper rifleman mage lol

potent echo
#

I would take smite because assail gun really overlaps

#

Until the day psyker gets bolter or smth

#

I can definitely see bolter assail

crystal oxide
#

Why I'm going to see about getting a Vraks mkVII

ionic sorrel
crystal oxide
#

For dealing with Carapace heads with its good crit damage

#

Revolver probably would work really well too come think of it

potent echo
#

Revolver 2 shots crushers, *with handcannon

digital narwhal
#

With Revvy, I use Scrier's Gaze, and with Columnus IAG, I use the Venting Shriek (along with Creeping Flames and Warp Siphon for looping it)

ionic sorrel
#

I've been having fun with Assail, revolver, and dueling sword.

potent echo
#

I like smite+creeping for gunker

ionic sorrel
#

Space pirate build.

potent echo
#

Gives you the horde killing you lack

robust sierra
#

The illisi, deimos, or both?

sonic whale
#

What can I say, I'm just a VIP with loads of bodyguards

#

😆

robust sierra
#

the deimos I'm using on my smite build to deal with single targets and armoured targets since I have the smite for hordecleatr

#

hordeclear*

#

illisi opposite, using for bb build and assail build for better hordeclear and using psykinetics for single/armoured targets

fluid knot
crystal oxide
sonic whale
sonic whale
crystal oxide
#

No regrets

frail sand
robust sierra
#

yeah I just dont have a good dueling sword yet

#

deimos is fun regardless though, does the trick

#

I don't play my psyker all too often anyways lol

#

I still gotta figure out my staffs

#

maybe you could help me with my staffs

#

?

#

got a mission be back soon

sinful peak
robust sierra
#

afaik a little outdated

potent echo
#

The comments are outdated*

strong gulch
#

The guide is updated to patch 14

potent echo
#

The guide itself has very good information like how wildfire works etc, but I would take the build recommendations as such, since playstyle differs for everyone

strong gulch
#

Very much that.

#

Like sniper resist. Having it can help with not getting fecking wrecked by one shot.

But if you never get sniped, there is no point.

If you find yourself taking chip damage vs not, etc.

sinful peak
#

I'm blind just saw he added a section adressing the comments

potent echo
#

Was it about toughness regen

sinful peak
#

yeah

#

btw anyone know which mod this is?

#

I assume numeric UI but I can't find a setting for toughness

lyric burrow
#

Hud manager i think

#

Or whatever it's called

#

The one that lets you change your hud

#

Might be wrong but i think that lets you change how peril looks

#

Wait thats toughness

left crater
#

what does 'impact' do?

lyric burrow
#

Think its still the same mod

lyric burrow
left crater
#

ah

lyric burrow
#

Wait actually

#

@spice veldt double check me on this

#

I forget if power or impact is stagger

potent echo
#

I think

#

Power is damage + cleave + stagger

sinful peak
#

thanks

left crater
harsh urchin
potent echo
#

But in that case it is correct

harsh urchin
#

All together

lyric burrow
#

Ok so i didnt lie thankfully

#

Ill keep that in mind

left crater
#

AH. so hadron really bricked this weapon then huh

iron flame
#

staregryn damn. High skilled players just sliding across the map

lyric burrow
left crater
#

F

iron flame
#

I need to learn more of those. Right now, playing bugged surge and always got caught by horde and my team mates are usually trying to survive on their own lol

potent echo
iron flame
#

Didn't know sliding give invuln and more speed

potent echo
#

It doesn't really give more* speed

iron flame
#

Ohh

potent echo
#

It carries the momentum of your attack and ignores the deceleration

iron flame
#

Hmm soo like I slide, and can say charge up staff without slowing?

silent socket
#

Aight dont ask why Im posting here but is this lasgun decent (Im making a shitty schizo Pistoleroo build give me a break)

potent echo
#

You press slide after your heavy stab comes out, so you get the boosted speed of the heavy pushing you forward

zinc tartan
#

I want to complete some of the Penances for my Psyker, but I don't really like Brain Burst. Does anyone have a fun build for BB they would share with me?

potent echo
#

You hold sprint+forward while charging your staff, then press crouch

#

Somehow you fly forward

iron flame
iron flame
#

There is empowered psi BB build but that mean you are missing out on that last penace I mentioned soo yea ... slow BB and just grind it out for a few days

hasty pier
#

a tale of two psykers

iron flame
#

I think I grind it slowly over a week and managed to get them all out turning me insane

zinc tartan
iron flame
#

I know T_T same here. Just gotta be a load on your team and stay in BB all the time unless you are getting swarmed

shut shoal
#

is it me or does running out of stam with psyker feel particularly slow?

cosmic sigil
#

Base stam regen delay is very good on psyker

harsh urchin
#

Iirc zealot has a relatively fast one whereas psyker and vets numbers are a bit lower comparatively

#

Different classes also have different multipliers for damage taken while sprinting, sliding, etc

full bane
#

I know have my own dueling sword, can Ogryn be Spark’Ead now?

hasty pier
#

I haven't even hit 30 yet and I got the Power up Penance lol

ornate hamlet
full bane
#

Bout to duel a plague marine

worthy scaffold
#

play auric damnation > zap crushers and ping them > whole team doing something else and dont bother looking> team wipe khoctronglong

shut shoal
#

support psyker with smite, trauma staff with rending shock and bubble. First time i go down is just before finally and the team immediately crumbles without all the stun support

potent echo
#

If only you could kill the crushers yourself 🤔

fluid knot
#

Just had a game where the other Vet went down twice, and then the EP bug abusing Surge Psyker called him a noob an i was just like bruh... the fucking irony

shut shoal
#

all ive heard is something with the surge staff does more damage

iron flame
#

Empowered psiconic. The middle keystone affects surge staffs without using up the charge I think ? Soo it does insane damage for free as long as you don't go using up all 3 charges

#

Don't need to do any weird stuffs like hoarding wrap charges and not press F

shut shoal
potent echo
#

If you don't see a surge user swap cancel, you know they aren't good

iron flame
#

Me likey. 2 shots reapers/crushers/mutants/mauler. One shots the rest

#

Can confirm. Not good. Didn't even know that is a thing

#

Soo what the heck is that ? And what does it do? Thar swap cancel

#

Do I like surge someone and cancel the long animation by swapping weapons?

potent echo
#

Yea

iron flame
potent echo
#

You can press quick swap twice, or any other way you like

#

Some people call it QQ cancel for that reason

iron flame
#

Talking about surge staffs ... I am guessing I need to charge it up to the max for max damage?

potent echo
#

Yea

#

Mainly for shotgunner / scab gunner

#

Dreg gunner can't be oneshot except crit

#

So dreg gunner is full charge plus mini charge/ball

iron flame
#

Ohh. I guess I had been criting a lot since I do have that wrap nexus

potent echo
#

Yea if it doesn't die just ball it or small shock

iron flame
#

And usually on red perils all the time anyway

fluid knot
#

Between this Surge bug and the Voidstrike being made stupid in last patch im really starting to hate Pug psykers with a passion

potent echo
#

Voidstrike is still fine, it's just the users aren't that good because they are stuck with the meta weapon they mindlessly made because people said it was good

fluid knot
#

Surge is the exact same

iron flame
#

I move to whatever class/weapon is meta

fluid knot
#

People told them it was good, so they're using it

potent echo
#

But they have no clue how to use it

#

People should spread trauma around more

#

You can't screw up trauma

#

Ok you can if you do nothing but scatter hordes

iron flame
#

Thar is why I am in this channel

potent echo
#

I've seen too many voidstrike users trying to ball a scattered horde and yea it's a really bad experience, usually you should run to a choke or just pull out your melee

iron flame
#

Never liked trauma. Same deal on sienna's version

potent echo
#

Siennas trauma didn't throw chaos warriors to the ground KEKW_ogryn

fluid knot
#

Ngl, meta stuff in this game is irritatingly low skill, the stuff that requires you to be good to use is very rarely considered a meta pick

shut shoal
strong gulch
#

Ehhh. I feel lukewarm on it. I am glad there are effective and less demanding options.

But I can see why something that takes a ton of effort to be "as good" doesn't become meta.

fluid knot
#

Shovel actually requires you to learn its moveset to be in any way successful with it

#

Also see a lot of Chainsword

i've seen probably 7-8 vets running shovels when playing auric but i dont remember the last time ive seen one on the other board

how would you rate this staff?

tbf i mostly use it for stagger though guess

#

If you're just using for a CC tool, then damage doesn't matter.

You can make whites work if you want to.

solar sand
#

DC any good on pysker over other stuff?

strong gulch
#

As your main damage source, trauma wants high damage, blast radius, and charge rate. Getting a decent amount of warp resistence and quell speed is ideal.

Trauma is an ass to build.

#

I do want to point out that most people's gear is probably good enough.

Many of us play the min/max game and gamble on gear that's marginally better.

spice veldt
#

I personally dump damage on trauma cuz I also use it as mostly a support and something that I pull out every once in a while

I was stuck against a corner with 4 ragers once

#

I just spammed parry and they all died

#

So there's that KEKW_ogryn

solar sand
#

how does the parry work

#

does it just reflect damage for free?

potent echo
#

If they hit you within a 1sec(?) Window of you pressing that button

solar sand
#

never really used the DCs

potent echo
#

You do a really strong counter

solar sand
#

ah

potent echo
#

And you don't take damage ofc

#

Counts as a block

#

I think...

#

I wasnt paying attention to my stamina / peril bars

restive slate
#

It counts as block yes, though must be perfect parry against overheads

potent echo
#

For the swag, or if you are out of dodges

spice veldt
#

the parry also has the stamina cost capped to 2 bars or so

left crater
#

It's a tool that other weapons don't give you. Rager in melee and no one helping you? Counter can delete em.

spice veldt
#

so if you parry a plogryn's charge which typically deals 6 or 8 stamina bars, then you'll only lose 2(?) bars of stamina

left crater
#

It's damage isn't as high as other weapons, and doesn't have strong bonuses like deflector or armor piercing like a dueling sword, but it's overall well rounded with a tool to help with situations a psyker usually struggles in.

potent echo
#

It's good horde clear and mk4 has a decent strikedown overhead, it's a melee weapon alright

#

I heard they have a backstab bonus or smth?

spice veldt
#

should be the catachan combat blade (knife) that has the innate backstab bonus

lunar hollow
#

which means u get to parry the plogryn and shout some sort of reference to the title of an anime

and feel cool

so for the duellign sword, i suppose im looking for flak+maniac, but what blessings are ideal?

spice veldt
#

at the very worst, there's the retry/reconnect mod (I forget the name) that kicks you out of the game but gives the menu that allows you to rejoin, so a bot will take your place

#

I don't know if there's a timer on it though

stable silo
#

5 minutes

spice veldt
#

damn

stable silo
#

tbh i forget how i know that but i know it from somewhere

#

its the same timer as the base AFK kick if your in lobby

spice veldt
#

intuit through the morphogenetic field

stable silo
#

i think its knowledge from the before times back when we only had a working cash store and everything else was broken

spice veldt

hmm, so having macro that periodically puts you back into the menu -> rejoin -> repeat would probably work if needed unless they account for that as well

I don't but you can focus on ragers/maulers/mutants

Warpsiphon doesn't give any BB bps

Ehh, BB is in a bit weaker spot at the moment. EP is your best option in beefing it up.

put on empowered

yeah but itll probably bump a person from heresy to damnation

mmm ok

solar sand

auric maels feels pretty easy with it

or maybe ive been lucky with teammates

I know you're supposed to pull out a horde clear sword for them but the darth sideous play is still satisfying

solar sand
#

you can also use BR for passive applications but

#

you dont need it tbh

#

the +1 chain is nicer for the added cc imo

#

makes damnation a breeze

mossy canopy
#

Out of curiosity why do you invest so much into empowered? Once you get your stack you're golden and smite feels like a wet noodle so why use it

solar sand
#

smite is actually

#

really good horde clear

but this is my surge staff build

#

and if i get overwhelmed

i actually use smite

hence the 3 stacks

Your main ranged options are the staves but Gun-ker is not as much of a meme as it used to be

Going with a gun is not as bad as people make it out to be, its just what gun you're going with and if you know what you're doing with the build

I saw decent gunkers, but i still do not approve that shit thou...

Melee is really good with stacking gaze but with precognition

silk hawk
limber tartan
#

As i said you can easily get 30 stacks on a horde and then melt anything though i do recomend going with a force sword with exorcist blessing to quell perrils on weakspot hits

#

Also now that i know how disrupt destiny actually works if you're going with it i also recomend going with this instead of the duration one

if you get block ranged on a melee and do the block for peril thing melee makes you into a nearly unkillable tank

this makes siphon the most consistent for nearly anything, and the -peril

Deflector is good but i feel like it acts like a set of additional wheels on a bike

You can certaily go without it and have success

limber tartan

Staves

That -20% peril gives you literally 1 additional second of duration

untold niche

stave is the one where you shoot the energy thing right

limber tartan

Kills give you annother 1 second

Soo if you don't quell you will end up with 15 second duration and 15% damage bonus

#

WHile precognition you can get 30% easily by just killing people with headshots

untold niche
#

whats the difference between staff and gun
can you headshot with staff? i assume staff projectiles can't pierce ( from what i recall)

limber tartan
#

And if you're in melee then a force sword with exorcist (quells 5% peril per weakspot hit) it will get you 30 stacks in melee because of the additional duration you get from quell

mossy canopy
limber tartan
#

Depends on the staff but you can't headshot with some

silk hawk
#

There is no other build planer that works work properly on a smart screen, sadge...

limber tartan
#

I don't know if purge can hit weakspots

solar sand
#

i havent tried void since the nerf but i assume its still pretty good, surge without the bug is ok but not amazing, purgatus is the best horde clear pyskers have

solar sand
limber tartan
#

Well there you go

solar sand
#

dont think purgatus does either

#

just void

untold niche
#

so if you don't like to aim, use stave? if you ok with aim, use gun?

solar sand
#

void you need to aim

limber tartan
#

Well yea i linked my gun build with which i am having great success

silk hawk
#

Nvm switching browser helps xD

solar sand
#

surge is auto target, purgatus is spray

mossy canopy
solar sand
#

ive actually really been liking this

untold niche
#

then whats the real difference between staff and gun?
staff can kill elites better?

solar sand
#

staffs mostly ignore armor

#

so they are really good for big heavy targets

#

and no ammo

#

assuming you can manage peril which is easy once you're used to it

untold niche
#

yeah i was going for a elite 1vX psyker build

#

i want to try elite killer build of every class

solar sand
#

if you want elite killed

#

try void

pale pilot
#

on the flipside psyker in general(staves included) don't have much tools for monsters

solar sand
mossy canopy
#

Void or Surge

limber tartan
#

Honestly i had no issues with ammo on my build but then again i am running with this, with some other guns you would probably have problems with ammo

#

Buti never had to fight over ammo with vets

solar sand
#

its nice for like

#

no ammo modifiers

#

but ammo usually isnt ever an issue

untold niche
solar sand
#

in any situation on any class

silk hawk
#

Here u go that's better visibility 🙂

solar sand
#

surge is medium damage to basically one target with auto aim

mossy canopy
solar sand
#

void is aoe/cleave with better damage and headshot multi but you have to aim it and its infinite range

mossy canopy
#

I still find surge the better elite clear but maybe I just suck

untold niche
#

also quick question, how come psyker has a crit aura but no real crit talents barring the top right one

limber tartan
#

Oh boy

silk hawk
untold niche
limber tartan
#

You can certaily land crits on psyker really often

solar sand
#

surge will stun ragers

#

it applies cc to 2-3 targets

untold niche
#

so surge for some CC and void for big damage?

solar sand
#

and techincally does damage to all targets but like, 1/4 per jump

mossy canopy
#

Well, maybe not the aura

limber tartan
#

@untold niche Obviously take the nodes with crit and this if you're going disrupt destiny you will automatically get this which is pretty good

silk hawk
#

My average run with surge has like 50 disablers/50 elite kills xD at minimum

solar sand
#

you can get really high "base" crit on pysker

#

wait can i go DD on staff even with say void?

silk hawk
solar sand
#

so if you havent tried DD yet

#

its not quite as good as it sounds on paper

#

cause its slightly bugged

#

still good but not as consistent

#

warp siphon is super consistent

mossy canopy
#

DD is very inconsistent rn because half the time there's no highlighted enemy

solar sand
#

as stacks fall off one by one

solar sand
#

so you always have near max stacks unless you need a panic ability which uses the stacks

limber tartan
#

DD marking is bugged

#

It does mark multiple enemeies its just only one is "visibly" marked

#

It just switches

solar sand
#

if you're new to pysker, try siphon and bubble shield, very simple, very rounded, very consistent

#

then when you get used to peril and such then try other stuff

limber tartan
#

That's why i recommend going the 30 stacks instead of the additional 15 second duration on dd

solar sand
#

assail is pretty easy and good too

#

though not as powerful as other things

silk hawk
#

Assail kills your skill

#

Do not recommend that crap xD

Duelling sword

Can i say that my elite/special clear is realtively strong but im going be ultra weak in horde clear?

4 is better overall imo, but 2 is still good

glossy ember

Duelling swords with rampage+uncanny are pretty good at horde clears

#

And are good at armor pen too

untold niche
#

then in that build what is the weakness?

silk hawk
#

There is non xD

solar sand
#

pyskers are bordering on op because they are stupidly well rounded in near every build

#

with fairly low gear requirements

silk hawk
#

Melee for hordes, surge for elites and disablers, bb for long range combat and bosses

untold niche
#

i.e. when i went from ogryn to zealot
i gave up either damage or CC for some speed and a smaller box
or if i want to keep both damage and cc i lose out on toughness
I wonder how will it be different going from zeal to psyker

solar sand
#

built right mk4 dueling swords 1 hit ragers

#

so i always have my mk4 as my panic button

Oh yeah u actually have a weakness

Compared to zeal or ogryn, u are much squishier

Hello fellow siblings. Can someone please assist me in choosing a right melee for my bubble smite psyker with primary voidstrike? Already played a bit with some dueling swords, but mostly i was playing with force swords like Deimos or Illisi, still i can't find the one that truly fits for me, and i'm not sure about the blessings too.

how does this build compare to zeal for elite 1vX

U can, but if u go surge gaze is not an option

U need to hit wps to slow peril generation

oh so in that build, im basically can only use void staff?

It is funny how a Psyker with a Revolver drops specials way faster than all the staves tho

limber tartan

Ofc, but its still funny

glossy ember

ithink we should duct tape guns to staffs

silk hawk
#

The problem is that rev is a reloading simulator xD

solar sand
#

otherwise surge will maybe stun all 3

#

while you kill 1 by 1

limber tartan
#

I tried revolver on psyker and there are just issues with reloading and ammo

#

Also disrupt destiny is not great with the revolver since it requires you to hit those targets which means using up your ammo

solar sand
untold niche
#

my zealot runs revolver, never had much issue with reloading
Basically if you only need to pop1 sniper, immediately relaod after that since the reload is by bullet

revolver is too good

the ADS time is basically non existent

not to say its bad but

bubble shield or fireshreik too good imo

i'd say it's not good purely because it's inconsistant
