For big range use bb, later on when u get used to build u can try assail instead many people like it
Personally i dont...
i would either start on assail
or never use it
cause once you use anything else theres no reason to uise
aside from the easy of use, no other reason to use assail as it doesnt do anything better than anything else imo
good for leveling i suppose
void still good, but not busted like it used to be
after damnmael
@silk hawk
Assail is responsible for turning psykers into meme vets
the kind who lose a fight to the scanning objective in melee
yeah but, in his build, doesn't rapture insta kill stuffs alr
I don't think 15% on rapture is going to change thresholds right
unless staff damage is counted as warp
yes
lotta people need to drop difficulties and build up melee fundamentals again
everything that generates peril to be used counts as a warp attack (so far)
everything but guns and melee (baring special hits) is warp damage
and including Soulblaze
Warp dmg bonus apply to you soulblaze stacks, bcuz well, its warp dmg type
Means u are killing all elites 15% faster
i see thanks!
i take most of the top tree, the toughness regen it gives is crazy
He can get more in top tree if he will go for empowered psionics instead of wc
not sure about mettle though
They should like merge 4 nodes into 2 in wc tree, idk
If u want more from top tree u can go empowered psionics or u can ditch last talent in wc tree
You can skip the toughness gained for peril gen, it's not that strong. 25% toughness for full peril bar, so you can take something else if you wish.
but you could get toughness just getting free quell
which would let you kill more things with warp atacks which would generate more toughness on top of the passive quell toughness you get
where do i get more damage by taking it off?
was referring to this screenshot
i guess im confused what you're refering to
or what you mean
oh the 10%
idk idm peril
First ever near perfect
Battle meditation doesn't do much on average when you already have soulstealer, in terms of toughness gen
ive tried battle med and unless im doing smite horde clear i dont like it
i dont like inconsistent things
hence why i dont use gaze or dd
if you're horde clearing 50+ enemies its pretty consistent
i like it most on purge
and purg i never have peril issues
fair
hardly gens any peril
though to be fair i only use purg up to 4s as its my speed build
so if i was min maxing it for damn/auric then maybe
for damn/auric i use smite/surge/void
i take it for the movement speed but i always have crit weapons or true aim
quell on kill had more value before when warp flurry instantly dropped the second you quelled
its usually stacked but, when you're slowed by casting/cleansing i dont feel it
and it doesnt last outside of combat long enough
so you could keep up your flurry stacks
dang, so the weapon skins for the staves can be applied regardless of type
i had a mini heart attack once
what would the the most confusing pair to mix up
thought i sharded my near perfect surge staff
cause i applied a voidstrike skin to it by mistake
which is one better to use
and exactly 15% difference
60-80 is nearly 20% or something
depends on the blesisngs and perks you'll get. Right one is suable if you switch ranged damage vs groaners and terrifying barrage
left one could end up being a dud
what blessing and perk should i try to get on these staff?
heres what (near) 80s looks like
replace terrifying barrage with warp flurry and damage on groaners with carapace or maniacs
isn't maniacs overall more enemy types?
id go flak or maniac
he already got flac
flamethrower specials, mutant, maniacs ragers
maniac is like 4 enemies, only like two of which have noteworthy amounts of health
alr tyvm that really helped d
My no maniac staff 1 crits flamers and 1crit + 1 normal maniac ragers
i swear i see more dreg ragers than scabs. dregs are maniac but scabs are ...carapace?
no
carapace is only crusher
i havent done surge staff breakpoints with maniacs unyielding yet
https://warhammer-40k-darktide.fandom.com/wiki/Heretics#Hordes id suggest looking at this, to see what all uses what for armor
didng have time yday
if you havent already


so aside from mauler heads and crushers, and a few spots on reapers it feels like there's not much carapace going around
but i'll check that
still worth imo since that helps with lowering the shots needed on it, while might not for rager/flamers/mutie
bulwark arm
bulwark boots are carapace
yeah i previously had cara on mine but i took it off as i dont think you need it if you're using empowered which i have been
arms too
2 shots without
i mean
so otherwise yeah
empowered is bound to get removed so i wouldnt get used to that
cause surge without it could use a tiny bit of help id argue
i think surge is the weakest of the main 3 without it
no not bad at all but
what it needs is stable damage values though because rmb feels rng at times
and more base carapace damage tbh. You can leave unyielding as its weakness
or opposite but that'd be weird, still not unwelcome
yea
even having gotten stuck with unyeild
๐ค how does the unyielding damage look with that
I'd ditch crit chance for flak, should help you reach lower breakpoints with maulers
still garbo or just "eh"?
eventually i will
as well as yellow gunner
but like i said im currently a happy bug abuser when i use surge lol

Probably not that huge of a diff.
i'm sure
i go from doing ok damage to, slightly more ok damage
i think that's alright
but i run BR for staves so thats better so i use that on bosses instead
reapers need 2 crits to get 3 shot by surge staff without unyielding, at 6 warp stacks and 5 perfect timing stacks
so you probably just need one crit
not great
i'd be fine with "non optimal" stuff
it's the "non functional" stuff that gets me
surge is functional with blessings pretty much
im pretty sure that staff had like sprint and supression on kill when i first made it
f
unrelated, but is a +reload perk ever worth spending the slot on? overall, not just psyker
if surge wasn't so good, sustained fire would be pretty good on a voidstrike because you get it with every charged shot as long as you charge to >50% or so
kickback seems like the textbook example, but reload is the dump stat on it
8% reload is meh, 25% damage is huge
kickback is incredibly overtuned tho
kickback by itself is strong than EP surge lol
well, rumbler would be my other suggestion, but you don't wanna waste ammo on it
stubbers i guess?
human shotguns?
revolver?
idk
doubt it
stubbers have charmed reload
charmed reload isn't great because they have poor crit stats
still better than losing 25% damage imo if you need the sustained fire
lucky bullet should be enough for crits
or well to sustain charmed reload at least
...lucky bullet is even worse mang
i know i know meta is to run fnp with ranged build
so you can put weakspot damage on a surge staff, but not +reload
it's a tiny percent chance
both are worthless
18% total over a 100 bullet mag or something
how exactly would you reload your brain
or a metal pole
lol
it'd be nice if it affected quell speed
What is the dump stat of surge staff? Crit bonus, charge rate, or quell speed? I am seeing multiple answers online
also not BiS but this is so underrated
warp resistance is a better dump stat than quell speed on a surge staff
warp res for sure
low variance on warp res
id be lying if i said i felt the .06 seconds
massive variance on quell speed
especially with flurry
but universally resistance is the main dump stat
i wouldnt want it at 20 but
60 is fine
You can get away with 70~ crit too, i think it's close to 20% crit rate
its usually like 1-2 peril difference
first roll at brunt's lets goooo
could be better but I restarted leveling up psyker
80 compared to 51
now gamba
5% or so, meh
so many gunkers in auric
revolver good
thats a whole crit rate perk
and psyker gets one of the most borked crit talents
thats damage, not chance
not super surprising people caught on
i get an extras 2-5% crit damage
Chance too
you get like 5% chance at the bottom yeah
It's a typo
Yea it's just a typo
it's not melee it's crit rate
Hey, I saw you were discuting about foe type, I did this if it can help :
ENNEMIS

There's already a list floating around online in the jsat discord
Ah sorry, my original version is not in english, I did it for a french discord
flack seems so widespread, it seems like it's the best option
But it's in English
usually, and it helps for horde enemies
wow, surge staff got cucked on reaper wtf
shooters and the dudes with bucket heads
that's bullshit
i'll be honest, it sounded like it was intentionally misspelled for a joke ๐ญ
And I'll be honest, it wasnt ๐
just claim it was totally intentional for the internet points
Unarmored?
Should be better, let me know if you see another typo !
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iJWcFqVHUC7OFAHHbBz5xalMEqkPV_NPh478ys1lokU/edit?usp=sharing
actually dumb idea, but if there were a pair of (exclusive) talents to either:
increase peril pool, but decrease quell rate
or
increase quell rate, but decrease peril pool
which would you take?
Probably Peril pool on any critical build because of blessing ๐
scryers gaze may be funny
Gazer. 
love da gaze
xD
sounds wrong
i notice it on mutants
Lmao who let that pass through
but i usually dont run BR on damn, or dont use it at least (unless dog or trapper or something i can prep a charge for)
all I remember is kinetic flayer being able to trigger on BB a while back
I dont even think its the talent, just Handcannon is broken as fuck due to the Rending changes
maybe thats what got mistaken for a crit
I mean yeah but on psyker you ALSO get free crits
which is how I suspect there is so many revolver psykers lately
That never comes out
For sure, but them free crits alone arent super OP or anything, its the interactions it has with other stuff
I had flu the last week, played a game using Assail an Revolver, died 4 times because i couldnt concentrate.. still topped damage by x3 what anyone else put out
Assail/HC combo is broken as heck
Bb cant crit
So that dont work
worth buying?
get Uncanny strike 4 yes
Not in the case of Handcannon no because it procs on crit
rip
Yes but Critical ignore a part of the armor on any weapon, and with HC blessing it's even better
as in take the blessing for future use or its usable
Take the blessing, the weapon isnt great itself, you can get a better one easily
I think people just arent that good either at general in producing dps
about HC, I feel like it should do damage to armor somehow, if not, it'll become of little use again
Some are. But people dont mess about with the kits on their own that often an just go with what people tell them is good, which really is gonna fuck them over long term
I personally belive that being able to constantly understand the best positioning to maximize dps is a pretty big advantage
Same with understanding the correct weapon for the right situation.
HC itself is fine, but it should not affect other weapons in your loadout 
Which blessing are you talking about ?
Handcannon from revolver affects your entire loadout currently
The critical chance on melee kills ?
So your melee and blitz will get free 80% rending on crit
Oh. Indeed
Yea it's busted
That's why you keep a revolver with handcannon in your pocket while your throw assail with true aim
Killing maulers and crushers left and right
So damn stupid, I never tried to abuse shard on crusher when I run HC for obvious reason but ... Yes, I see how you can abuse of that.
You still need to throw a lot of shards to kill one Mauler, though
Yea because carapace still breaks your shards
Often times you will get better results by just whipping out your staff (*not Purgatus) or Gun and shooting the bastard to its death
man either those guys suck on average or they werent abusing it in my games then because the last 5 revolver psykers didnt even outdamage me 
Not really, 1 k+ damage VS 200 without HC
But you are still relying on Crit to do that
Which is about 2-3 throw with True Aim
And yes, I know True Aim is a thing
And not counting on natural crit
But it's still a very attention heavy action and I'd rather do something else with my time
not really, even if you just spam, 1/3, or 1/4 shard 'll be crit. So it does increased your damage by a LARGE amount. Especially if you consider not only crusher but any flak armor you hit
Like, yes, you have a revolver. Why not shoot the Mauler?
It will die quicker
IF you can spare the ammo that is
xd
Okay, I see where this is going.
We are not talking about that. But even if you don't TRY to abuse, it affects your damage.
Ok I raised mauler as a bad example I'm sorry 

whats the best staff?
surge for me
oh no
I've been having great fun with surge, but I've been seeing a lot of void and purge lately
id argue void is best overall, surge best usability, purg best horde clear
but all are within 10-20% of each other id say
I think that depends on what you're trying to do
which is the most similiar to trauma? i liked it alot, want something simliar but stronger
void
Trauma's got the best CC, followed closely by purgation/surge. Surge is probably the most flexible.
Damn purg staff is just the worst ||please read this fatshark dev||

I'm not sure I agree. The left click on purgation has very good stopping power, and it basically cancels hordes.
Let me know when you find something similar to trauma but stronger. 
so void and smite would be a good combo
I think voidstrike is the one I like the least, even if it does have great damage.
eh
Please don't let them know idk how I'm going to handle my lmb being nerfed 
smite isnt horde clear, its CC
been running void smite for a few days and its nice to have
It alr got ninja nerfed as it doesn't work on crushers anymore
Man, I recently learned of the Surge+EP bug
void or trauma? LOL i would still go with void
empowered smite is actually really good horde clear
not really
best blitz for it easily
still poor damage
So I switched my build to Warp Siphon
not against horde enemies
everything kills horde enemies
that bug with smite....its crazy strong
And I am just gonna say that even with the bug, Warp Siphon absolutely knocks it out of the park.
and with EP you miss out on damage on everything else
which pairs best with smite then? sorry ive only used trauma b4 lol, im guessing surge
My Smite staff has the increased cast on chained, and increasing crit chance, which pairs really well with the peril reduction.
void maybe to deal with big stuff
'Cause your chains get longer and you spend longer on high peril
but then just use mk4
Smite is made to stay on Mourningstar
everything kinda carries over into everything else
im sick of assial and i dont like brain rupture
is there anyway to check your total crit rate?
not without mods or math
nothing particularily specifically pairs with smite, its just nice to have in general
idk dont bring it on purg because you probably want some range option
Yes, scoreboard plugin
purge and smite do the same purpose so i wouldnt pair them
void or trauma then for longer range, smite mixed hordes and use creeping flame to kill em while you hold em
try that I guess
I think surge staff is thought to have a crit rate of ~20% base? So with talents, aura and blessings you can make it a coin flip.
thanks bro
Man I hope they fix the Surge bug soon, people in lobbies just assume I'm bug abusing but it honestly just melts even with warp charges
Yeah it's annoying, because I really love the staff. It's so fun to use.
Mfw I have to clarify myself. 
time to use sword for the first time :c
I think my only contention with it is it lowkey encourages you to not use your ult. That's fine if you are running venting shriek but it's bad teamwork if you're running bubble.
you get charges so fast just use it
I agree, but I still notice that behaviour happening.
CDR is the whole point of the keystone
Finesse is a lil low but this is p good aint it?
Perks and blessings are more important
I dunno man I think CDR is by far the least alluring feature of the keystone.
its the prominent one though by design is the point
Creeping flames every 15 seconds is kinda crazy
no amount of complaining will bring back the old days of infinite stacks
Yeah, that's fine, but honestly for the bubble the abiltiy would be stronger with no CDR
Infinite stacks??
Oh yea
Yup, I hate using Voidstrike and Purgatus. So I just rotate between Surge and Trauma. Both are so much more fun to play imo
people complaining that the charges get removed when you get em back within the cooldown you just used is just kinda asinine
or they play with such chads that steal al the elites
We must suggest a new DS skin - with Marshmellows on it's pointy end - just for SOulfire builds
for me void got way more fun the more i used it and got used to it, idk how much you used it but might apply as well
void has a small, but existent learning curve
and i just recently came to love purg
new staff dropped
I used void as my main staff for so long I am kind of sick of it. Purgation is kinda fun though, but surge just has that strong palpatine energy I didn't know my life was missing.
my issue with purg is that i have to rely on teammates more to clear specials/elites fast
i just whip out mk4 or BR to take care of them
it's fantastic when teammates can deal with specials etc fast, helps deal with the trash so they can better focus their attention
does this talent increase dmg of this talent?
But is it a warp โAttackโ?
yes
Yes it does
all SB is warp attack
Oh, okay
Warp attacks are all staff attacks except bonks, blitzes and power sword specials, I believe.
Oops, didn't mean that as a reply to trev, meant it for voidstrike enjoyer.
yeah dw I am very aware
I usually just go with "everything psykers do thats blue or purple is probably warp attack"
Yeah basically
I always forget that the staff special action exists, and then I remember it and spend like a minute bonking everything instead of shooting it.
at least it staggers ragers now 
Really?
Force sword specials are warp attacks
siblings, is revolver still the best gun
its one of the better headshot guns, and its damage is nutty, so it benefits a lot from DD (or siphon) making it i suspect one of it not the best overall for pysker
this a good enough base? I use trauma for armors anyway
are you using for heavy single, or light cleave?
either way should be fine
but a high pen one or one with a rend blessing 2-3 hits crushers
well heavies for sniping muties and lights for hording
this does plenty of damage and its far from ideal
53 shouldnt make too big a difference
from 69
I use this and it's pretty nice
heres stats at 69
69 penetration is very ideal
nice
nice
is there any benefit to t4 uncanny, other than needing basically one less stack?
here's another decent one but both damage and finese are the lowest lol
I wish the dueling sword could parry
it comes out so fast you can add it in between heavy spam for basically no cost in time
it staggers stuff
does it stagger anything the heavy doesnt?
ive always ignored the special so i dont really know what it does
ragers during their combos, crushers (preferably hit their head to deal more stagger), etc.
holy you're right it outright cancels a heavy's backswing
special heavy heavy in full glory, you can also special heavy special heavy spam to keep mutants, crushers, ragers, maulers staggered for as long as you want

Whats that weapon in your ranged slot?
columnus with dumdum 4 and fire frenzy 4, I use dagger just recorded this one with a duelling sword for those who don't know what to do with ds special
Wonderful
makes sense
crazy, guarantees two headshots too and stops it from hitting the bloke behind you
am gonna miss the guaranteed L1H2 kill from deimos though
yup
I mean Deimos can kill with just H2
and with enough uncanny and slaughterer stacks it also seems to kill on chain L1
can H2 kill from behind?
yes
tf
you just need to hit the head through the back
weakspots have prio so if you hit body & weakspot hit box it counts as weakspot
For mutants? Yea you can fish for it
Aim at where the head would be on the other side
huh I think I'm just not hitting the breakpoint, I know the tech to hit the head from the back
you just need big enough hurt box for the weapon, which for Deimos is longer than an Ogryn's dong
or maybe I'm not doing it properly
@onyx sentinel do you have +25 maniac and are you using the warp rider talent (for +10% at 0% peril)?
I have a T3 maniac
even +20 maniac should do unless you have a very shitty roll
time to roll a new deimos ig
almost a really interesting spread
318 total, nothing to see here
everything being 80 or 40 i mean
that is true
not cause its any good
is that 80% dmg the thing you look for?
but it would be funnier to see some stat 0 and rest 80 xD
you don't need 80% roll on damage on anything
and how do you know that, sir
man im so unlucky with knifes

ok good
sigh... hmb
I didn't think so
no no, u gotta take it to the golden brick
can't give up half way now
oh i just found that in the store
a knife was my first 380
and it was a shit roll
on my vet nor my pysker have i found a really good roled knife, even just base stats wise
what would you consider a good knife?
@glossy ember https://streamable.com/3g0cwl
75-80 on all but dump
if you're looking for that AND good perks good luck
its the one weapon thats truly evaded me
combat knife is easy
ive bought at least 30 on my vet
perks don't matter but stam is nice. stack bleed
just base stats i mean, not even perks/blessings
This has +maniac on it?
this game was not made to require that
yes
and thank goodness
perks do matter, if you have one with +maniac and +unyielding it's going to be so much better at dispatching mutants and boss DPS
because +armour perks scale multiplicatively with everything
of course they matter but one does not have to min/max\
I'm not going to argue it, if you play well none of thjat mattersd
to get a functional one? sure, not needed, but it does make quite a difference when you start going into auric damantions if you have your loadout properly set
yeah knife isnt something im planning to take into speed 3s
i want it for a stealth damn build on my vet
I use knife at auric damnation, perfectly usable
knife zealot is OP, imo
I meant how did you know it's specifically as long as an ogryn's dong. not the other part
well not OP but actually balanced well
smh
I said longer

well you know what they say about big feet
"they say damn, you got some big feet"
let me put it this way, if Ogryn's dong was longer than Deimos, we would have seen it, look at the size of their legs and the size of the sword
why does sire milk hate me so much
cause his real name is Sour Milk
not Sire Melk
Shower Monty?
anyone know the meter range of shriek? too lazy to walk to pyscar
how many times have you prayed to the omnisiah today?
Pray? Payer? Religion is Heresy....
maybe they got very special pants that hides the truth
i dont think you know how this works lol
Enlighten me
this isnt 30k
indomidus is mentioned so i think its like mid m42
its beautiful
I'm on book 2 of the Horus Heresy
That hammer gibs pox walkers
SO GOOD
I dunno if I can finish another 52 books because these Astartes cunts are so AROGANT
like legit #2 or your second one?
no way
It's so obvious but they're like "omg we're so big and strong how could we be decieved"
@solar sand you can find answer to 99% of your questions in The Psyker Atheneum
oh youll like the ending to betrayer
horus rising is supposed to be good but uh
reading all the HH
no one does that
there are some real bangers but
only like 10-15
of the 60 something
two books in and I kinda hate the characters for how dumb and arrogant they are
Tale as old as time....
try helsreach
what do I do with this
its stand alone
the HH series
while important
isnt what id entirely focus on
def not all of it
ive only read
6 HH novels
but 20 total
kinda like the Brothers of the Snake?
horus rising is DA
There's so many more books before the Guy Kills the Guy....
which other book are you reading?
personally im an ADB simp
i love all his books ive read
Dan Abnett is a good writer. I just like the way he writes.
DA is great but i dont like a lot of his older works
use it as is, its already pretty solid, could replace either blessing with uncanny and weak spot perk with flak but its honestly already quite good
Maybe this convo better somewhere else I'm soprry guys
Grab rampage 4 out of it
uncanny is BiS on dsIV but these blessings are both on the list of good secondary
i would try betrayer, see if you like it
everyone loves betrayer
especially if characterization is your issue so far
Smiteker moment
How about the rest of the stats 
dont worry about those 
No
Was the other psyker exploit surge
Stop assuming it's surge abuser. 
It was
At least I assume so cause he was like near 1 shotting crushers
I don't have the surge myself cause imma avoid it till the bug is fixed
it's easy to spot if it's surge abuser or not
If he does not have warp charges orbiting him and he is using Surge - he is abuser
Wait there's visual effect for warp charges?
There is
What are the ideal perks for a void staff and how does the dump stat for this one look?
I did not know this 
And they are both visibale to both Psyker and the team
Some blue things orbiting psyker - is warp charges
Oh yeah I see that.
Never knew it was warp charges.
Xd
Thought it was just some random buff.
I still need to figure out if EP have visual effects visble to the team or those sparks visble only to Psyker
Disrupt Destiny clearly have no visiuals as far as i remeber
Hot take can they make the destiny tree more viable I wanna run a BB build for it
Like I tried it and did okay but it just feels so underwhelming
BB do not have critical damage... so DD + BB never happens
And the way Destiny will just jump from one enemy to another within a split sec of marking the first is weird
Ye but it has weakspot dmg
Also weird that you can't test destiny in pshycarium
Solo play mod then ๐
do all the test you like there. Creature spawner and bot spawner also work there
I see I see
Also Emperor's Will mod (exclusively for solo) play that allow you to do some tweaks for easier testing
Tertium 5 mod - to have your other operatives as bots there
you can get it to work in the psykhanium with creature spawner but only if invisibility is off I believe
If you need specific auras for test from the team
I mean, it still increases damage and weakspot damage... and the timer resets when the stagger kicks in so even if you don't kill you don't drop stacks
but BB is just too slow to use so it's far from effective
I'm sad about BB . I don't see a reason to use it over other options i have. I do not need to snipe specials/elites i have other means to do so
I can see it being akin to how I use smite in only very specific situations
But the issue is that Smite requires 0 effort
And BB without nodes is just

3 seconds base charge to kill one elite
That's insane
or not kill one elite even after 3 seconds...
Yeahhh
It's like willingly walking barefooted on legos
I just find that putting in the points to grab the nodes that makes it feel not horrible isn't worth giving up my entire build
Since I can't see myself using BB that much
Though I should try it
Isn't there still something like you can't get EP charges from BB if you have 0 charges?
Try Pre-charge mode only ๐
it would be cool if charging up right click just banked an instant cast for later until used or downed. steps on EP's toes a bit I guess
There is fun in that? It should keep building peril up ๐
So I'm a brand new psyker. Made it to lvl 10 so far
Assail is the most fun you can have with your pants on.
Question is, am I correct to assume that once I launch my little kinetic kill missiles, do they keep looking for their pre locked targets when I swap to another weapon? Or look away?
You keep guding them through enemies heads - by just pointing cursor on them while sards are in the air. So - don't look away. Fire and guide ๐
And if you launch few into the horde and shook your head few times - you will kill a lot more than you think you can ๐
you're working on the assumption that you do have other options. what if you're running a ranged weapon that doesn't cover that niche
Like throw few and draw few lines throw level of horde heads ๐
the fact that it isn't optimal with every single ranged choice, doesn't mean that it isn't optimal with some
I need it
I don't see cornering myself to such and extreme that i have to rely on BB. I leave that for sweatlords that like to challenge themselvs for fun ๐
I use it with my flame trauma build with EP. The only purpose is to get that special (dog, bomber, burster, sniper) that is very far away or just about to run to cover and at times quickly deal with gunner arrays
the EP makes it nice to use RMB as well cause you can hold it forever when you hear the howl
I stopped using Purgatus for sad reason also - i realise how badly it messes up the visibility for a team.... And have couple of really good rolled Purgatus
Purgatus just severy hurts by the fact that it can't control crushers anymore
That's too
But it's infinite flamer โข
I tried the big smite build and it's pretty funny on Hunting Grounds now
ehh
I mean yeah it works for that purpose
but there are loads of other weapons that do the same + more
and options
void, trauma, EP smite, flame smite...
But before i stopped using Purgatus - i paired it with Assail not BB. Still can do the sniping and long range kills
yeah I also pair it with Assails
what if he's usin DD 
makes a neato when you see a pack of ranged units a bit further away
I don't use quick shards with it to, only the +1 additional targets
i've been half tempted to try a dd surge build
I didn't think that trauma would do this much tbh
what can I say, Trauma gibs
Trauma is insane rn
Good single target damage
Great AoE
Blazing gives it even more AoE
yup
using this
trauma was great already before patch #13
Well... technically DD should synergyse with Surge. I mean code spaghetti may think that Critical stat on Surge is same as Fineese and modify it by DD bonuses
then at patch #13 everyone went OOH VOID cause it was overtuned
and only now people are discovering the Trauma that got buffed in Patch #13 even tho it didn't need one
No it's bad needs buff.
hold on, what. Doesn't that mean you get more crit rate, rather than crit/weakpoint damage?
True! it's clearly struggling
i wish i didnt keep bricking my traumas to try it out lmao
If it's a spaghetti code...
IF
Aww. So they're not fire and forget. Literally command guided, right
oh you didn't test
I'll follow through my little missiles then!
if it's not badly bricked it will work
optimal =/= not going to work
Oooh we got some news here let's see...
blue backpack 
run n gun + terrifying barrage, and perks being shit 
I still have copers saying blaze trauma is useless even after video evidence.
oh our pearl clutching pack
Never rolled blaze isn't it bugged?
if you are looking for a flurry trauma the perks are not that important, just re-roll blessings and keep calm
Bugged how?
Yeah I want to hear this one as well ๐
the fire stacks not properly spreading
Time to look like Snipers
might actually buy it
It does spread to everything in a massive aoe
this is our aquilas debacle compensation
It's Fatshark Unconditionally Certified Krafting. You may craft 50 Trauma staff and bever see Blazing Spirit blessing, then next day Melk will be selling one with that blessing you need,
I believe you are confusing wildfire bugs with blazing spirit now
should I not be running wildfire?
depends from the build
just because something is bugged doesn't make it unusable
its generally very underwhelming
wildfire is only worth taking with blazing trauma, anything else is low value
not true, creeping flames + smite spam needs it
I think that might be the zealot one
what does it add to creeping flames?
what i've been using on damnation
consider getting creeping flames, its absolutely worth
sadge
easiest 100k damage every round
keeps it going
do 4 stacks even kill hordes
not to a level of killing tho
The hood is indeed a reused Zealot asset, so that checks out
no but when you slap on enfeeble smite on top of that you get yourself a killer
jumpscare your own team 
tfw no points for that 
Just did auric HISTG with this, worked pretty well, feels like I should swap inner tranq for essence harvest though
Smite, Creeping Flames, Enfeeble, Battle Meditation, Warp Siphon, In Fire Reborn, Inner Tranquility, Warp Battery, Warp Raider, Wildfire and Perilous Combustion.
oh, do perks not affect breakpoints? nice
they do a bit but it doesn't matter, you don't get any meaninful one shots with perks so stuff flies anyways
pog
if you are having troubles one shotting trash just invest into warp siphon
guess i can use my trauma staffs then
oh yeah i planned on running a basic warp siphon build with it
shield or shriek, not gonna go for scrier meme (yet)
I alread occasionally shoot or swing at peple wearing the "normal" penance outfits when they run into view at close range more than I care to admit; some of those outfits make em look like random trash 
Exhibiton B for flame smites
https://youtu.be/AarOoPWZnx8?si=fJZJ3EqJwWcn28xe
please don't go for scrier with trauma
it's one of the highest peril generating staves
dw i'll test it out, blow myself up a few times and regret it shortly after
I straight up dont think gaze is worth on any staff
oh it's definitely not 
Don't let you memes be dream.
because for all of them you have to spend time quelling somehow to get value or you already wanna edge
It doesn't really feel designed to be used with any staff
because it wasnt
but that didnt stop me for surge scrier...
only thing is i doubt you can do the same shit as surge scrier with trauma
but i'll testthat after learning trauma anyway
Smite gazer for the big crit on horde. 
smite cant crit can it
That's the meme. 
Trauma's greatest weakness is stairs
I propose we replace all stairways with wheelchair accessible ramps
this makes me realize my current build sure is whack as shit huh 
traumas greatest weakness is my left pinky from all the sliding I gotta do with it
Hmm, random thoughts.
How is this achive less than 3%
a lot of people didnt play the game as much as people who talk here
I still don't have that, way too much of a clutz
people usually dont get that achivement unless theyre specifically going for it
I've just been doing missions for contracts.
I mean I havent played malice for more than a match or two with lv1 friends uhh
since the game came out
cuz shit will probably happen in 10 games if people are playing aurics
On malice or higher though
yeah good luck not going down at all when all you do it play aurics because achievements are meaningless 
I do aurics with friends, not randos.
Yeah this is it for me, I pretty much exclusively play auric HI and/or STG with randoms, there's no way I can keep it together for long enough to not even be downed in ten games
which is why you have the achievement and 97% of players dont
Oof
also I presume you didnt get it doing aurics
i should really stop cliffing myself at the end of every map 
Last 10 missions have been a mix of Malice, Hersey, and Damnation.
Yeah, this is (1) so 15 is prolly (2).

With the double buffs it feels just perfect to whip out and use
But without that its just
Ehhhh
what is double buffs, like the speed?
welcome to 2022, when this was the consensus already
who is people
Random Psykers
they just love cupping
nah EP and BR is a rough time
I low key think its people who have either only played on lower difficulties or just recently started playing damnation who say this
Couldn't it be good in like a purgatus build to be able to pick off ranged elites easier?
on lower difficulties it feels at least powerful, albeit fuckin slow
its useful in niche situations, but not a go to dps tool
but there is so little action that its pretty whatever
Yeah but that's what the blitz abilities are supposed to be right?
The situations that it is good for most of the time my allies have guns
And shoot the things anyway
I mean you can just use assail for ranged elites
thats also what that things right click is meant for and its actually somewhat passable now
BR definitely needs to just be sped up
BB isnt even the oft touted "ranged option" that people coped themselves into believing
Someone mentioned that the EP + Kinetic Resonance should be baseline speed
And ngl I kinda agree
Remove those nodes
Make them into something else
assail lol
BR even feels bad in the situations you want to use it
Smite feels good
Assail still feels broken
Yeah but assail is pretty much the only blitz in the entire game that's an exception
Give back Cerebral Lacerations 
make it charge faster if your cursor is over the enemy
10x faster
or at least adjust charge speed to enemy health so you dont spend half an hour popping something small like a flamer
Wdym
Flamers have 1500 HP

which is pretty small overall
but yeah applies to everything
I'm a brand new Psyker, but I've been playing Vet and Ogryn a long time. And in my five matches today, three of them were full wipes when I wa left alone more often than not. Everyone else died due to skill issue or they be doing dumb shit.
thats like the upper limit of BR damage isnt it
Early Malice is.. interesting.
oh
And it reaches the breakpoint
the point is adjust it health so you pop small shit faster, dont get all in the weeds
dont make us pop dogs more than once
brainburst has 150% maniac adm now
Ahhh
Right that too
So even without Warp Rider it would still kill
It even kills dreg ragers rn if you have 100% peril
Idk about scab
what a revelation
the more things change the more they stay the same
I wish they made BR left click an instant damage
And RMB is a charge up that does damage based on the charge
every single game, there are multiple occassions where I see a special in the distance that is running into cover, and I have half a second to do something about it. I can swap to BB and latch to it, no way can I swap to Assail and RMB or charge a void.
When you left click
So left click does like 400 damage and will one-shot poxwalkers so you can snap them out of existance
But right click can do like 4k damage if you charge it enough
nice you found the one situation where BR is useful
shame BB wont kill it every time anyways
thats the only situation i need it for
for specials? other than muties, it will
yea thats because your loadout is balling and can handle everything else
Is already not doing anything??
thats my core issue, in the beta it was something you could do about dogs before people learned to deal with em
Oh shit the Vanguard bundle will be free and act as that compensation for the Aquillas. I guess it's a fair trade.
It'll come back
yknow fast specials
Hmm.. At least Fatshark has some damage control ability.
or you can kill it, proc PC, aggro the 30 ragers in the other room
A little late on the draw, but fair enough
not sure it really achieves anything, people who didn't care still won't care, people who wanted aquillas will still want aquilas
dogs? I admittedly never ran BB in a real mission but when I launched the game in 13 it didnt kill a dog still so I shelved it mentally
yes, dogs
Ops wrong message
Ah well
I mean
They have to do that shit
Its a company
did the infested shit get adjusted or how does it work out 
even with rider you dont get 1800
Has to get things approved
dogs have about 1.4k HP nowadays right
and the damage/stagger of brainburst not being frontloaded
BR needs a 10x Unyielding modifier
Ew, I don't like that Psyker gear either. I'd rather have free aquilas for if/when Fatshark eventually charges for a shirtless option.
Then I'll run it
For the memes
old presumably
Yeah Poxwalkers have more HP now too
375
if you frontload the damage, whats the backswing 
I'd just look here instead https://dt.wartide.net/calc/
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by ManShanko.
derpy got his wish
brainburst yourself and die
I wish the calc wasnt such a pain
I'm so used to it now but yeash
why cant the turbonerds just make spreadsheets
1:1 trade good value
rare W for him
Yeaaah, like. Its like giving someone an extra large soda when you failed to give them their fries
Not realy the same, even if they think its the same price wise.. or something.
I mean it probably is about the same price you just dont get a choice
I just hope people stop review bombing the game over dumb shit
down the line they will probably come up with blue weapon camo or smth to complement the look too
Exactly, none of what's in that bundle appeals to me.
so depending on if you like the palette swap you either are okay or you mald
It was fine when the game was actually shit
We will review bomb later, once our time to boycot locks comes, till then we will rejoice
we got new gasmask siblings
One day
Urgh,,,, flip-floping my review back to Negative. "I'm tired, boss" (C)
