psyker-class

[robust sierra]

yup

I should just earn it right?

[orchid shadow]

Earn?

[long wharf]

honestly, at 331, I wouldn't have even started upgrading it

you generally don't want +carapace on surge staff, either

[robust sierra]

earn terrifying barrage

[robust sierra]

didn't

p sure it was emp gift

[long wharf]

great, rip warp flurry off and move on

[robust sierra]

will do

[orchid shadow]

Oh yeah. Just grab it for the blessing.

[robust sierra]

so let's just build up what I can here

surge: flurry, nexus

perks?

[long wharf]

I like crit chance + flak

[robust sierra]

right

[long wharf]

but going +maniac while we still have the EP bug isn't a bad choice

[robust sierra]

what about trauma?

[long wharf]

depends on how you like to use it

I only use Trauma to soulblaze all the things

[robust sierra]

these are 3 traumas I have currently

I'm completely out of plasteel cause of this now btw lol

[long wharf]

the third one (white) should only be upgraded if you need to get a t4 blessing out of it

[orchid shadow]

I swapped out maniac to Carapace to try it out. It's annoying to whiff on some of the specialist kills sometimes, but Crushers take 1 less zap.

[robust sierra]

so which of the two are better? Which blessings are the best for trauma

[long wharf]

for soulblaze, you need blazing spirit and warp nexus

[robust sierra]

gotcha

[long wharf]

because it's about the CC and the warpfire

[robust sierra]

what else is good?

or just soulblaze

[long wharf]

honestly? to me, nothing else about the trauma is worth using

I really dislike the aiming method

[robust sierra]

gotcha

moving on to voidstrike then, I know surge is good

this is my current void

[long wharf]

look at the pins in the channel

[robust sierra]

I haven't bothered to try and change anything on it

[robust sierra]

ok

[robust sierra]

I have one with warp nexus III but the stats are low

[ripe crater]

That 1 mil damage is including overkill damage I assume?

In which case, yes, Surge is king 🙂

[olive ember]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/YUklMkUAmh

Average surge staff psyker gameplay

[plucky flax]

That scoreboard plug in doesn't count overkill.

[hollow current]

Can't wait for the empowered surge crutch to get fixed.

[olive ember]

Empowered surge crutch only thing that makes surge even remotely good

Can’t wait to have dead weights once it’s fixed 💀

[hollow current]

It's annoying as shit when they target every melee elite and ruin the pacing and enjoyment of the game. It's better off as a dead stave.

[olive ember]

Lmao simply kill the shit faster

[spice veldt]

use the power of gun to attempt to snipe them

[olive ember]

You gonna tell me you are getting outpaced by a surge staff which innately has a target cap of 2 and a range cap of 25

Well I suppose it depends on how much shit is spawning

[hollow current]

When you poke an Elite for up to half it's healthand the surge comes in to explode a mess of gore in front of the melee front yeah.

[olive ember]

Anyone who thinks surge is busted without bug has no clue what busted means

But that’s just my opinion tbh

[plucky flax]

[olive ember]

Im just saying, in a world of 100 cleave plasma guns, immortal zealots, gun lugger

[hollow current]

A single one is tolerable but 2+ is just gross.

[olive ember]

And they choose unbugged surge staff of all things to be “busted”

[plucky flax]

Handcannon assail my beloved.

[bleak tulip]

people just love to complain about psyker I guess

[plucky flax]

I am only using handcannon assail now until they fix it.

What else is also not busted? Purgatus.

[bleak tulip]

nah you see you actively harm your team playing purg because their weak eyes cant stand to see when there is fire on screen

void OP, surge players all bugged, assail op, purg blinds the vet

I guess the only not "op" or "bad" staff right now is trauma judging by the people coming in here claiming its bad

[plucky flax]

[bleak tulip]

youre only allowed to play BB melee psyker

[worthy dune]

Does Purgatus work like Flamer for zealot? Cloud radius and burn are most important right? This feels like a good deal

[bleak tulip]

76% burn is the one yeah

pretty much

damage is still important enough not to be total dump stat but generally its not terrible as long as you have CR and burn 76

[ripe crater]

It's a good deal but obviously ideally you'd want warp resistance/quell speed as dump stats rather than damage.

[frank moat]

‘As an enlightened Veteran main, the only respectable Psykers use Brain Burst of course. No, I will not stop stealing their pops ’

[worthy dune]

Hopefully it rolls Warp flurry, I do have another one with a lil less burn n radius so if I roll quell i might toss it there

as a vet main I quite enjoy smitekers, ccing a whole horde is lovely

[ripe crater]

Surging and then at 2-3 pivotal moments throughout the match where you come out smiting the heretics... It's a fun playstyle imo.

[worthy dune]

I like empowered smite myself, fun to hold a whole horde for the team as I deal increasing damage to em, just doesnt feel as good w warp charge, but I'm tryna give it a shot

[ruby ravine]

When trying to complete the penance that mentions “phsykinetic wrath” usage. Can you upgrade it to the augmented version and it still count?

[floral thorn]

using it 50 times to stop perils?

yeah

[cosmic sigil]

The new map reeks of STDs

[hasty pier]

force swords share blessings?

[cosmic sigil]

Yes

[hasty pier]

hell yeah

I got a slaughter III obscurus and banked the blessing

was surprised to see it pop up

[frosty pasture]

Whats the max wounds you can get from a curio?

[hasty pier]

I've heard two but never seen it

kinda like how I've never seen a 25% toughness

[late sphinx]

https://www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8Aty9r4/

[ebon vine]

the perils of th' warp

[cosmic sigil]

1

Max tg curio is 17, HP is 21 and stamina is 3

[wide ermine]

So is building Warp Charges broken now? I can't get a single brain burst kill b/c the team usually wipes out elites way too quickly

I'm pretty sure you used to be able to get warp charges off brain bursting any enemy, right?

[hasty pier]

is gunner resist multiplicitive or additive?

like if I have 3 relics with gunner resist, do they add together or does each one have diminishing returns?

[cosmic sigil]

Résistance are usually addditives

Wait no

I remember reading multiplicatives now

[cosmic sigil]

The description does say you gain warp charge by killing specials or elites.

You can try it in the psyk

[worthy dune]

Found this

[worthy dune]

No longer off basic enemies, technically, but if you go for the left side of the tree you have a 10% chance if you kill any enemy affected by your soulblaze

[wide ermine]

I'm just frustrated at the penance where you have to brainburst special enemies with max warp charges. Feels impossible now

[cosmic sigil]

Yeah it's what I read. A guy on Reddit made a analysis on bombers resistance.

[spice oar]

I feel like its very likely we get the 2 handed force weapon in december

part 2 top left most likely is showing weapons, about 7 of them displayed, so we defo are atleast getting something

[hasty pier]

Gunner resist just feels mandatory

holy moly they shred

[rugged halo]

No joke there

[ebon jolt]

Sustained Fire -> Surge and Poxwalker -> Crit?

[hasty pier]

so many damnation runs lost to a really bad gauntlet of gunners and bad luck

[rugged halo]

I had tox flamer resist but I'll usually get gang banged by like 8 gunners when I round the corner on damnations.

So I decided to swap to gunner res.

[eternal pike]

Is range crit or range weak damage better on surge staff? Can only replace one of them.

I assume range weak doesn't work?

[orchid shadow]

What do you find frustrating about it? It's just a counter, so eventually you'll get it. Are things dying too fast?

[ripe crater]

Weakspots don't trigger with surge or smite afaik

[eternal pike]

That's what I thought, ty

[ripe crater]

Crits do though. A lot.

[hot zephyr]

Aloha fellow psykers. Need some assistance. I was a release darktide player and leveled to 30 way back about 11 months ago. Unfortunately due to RL circumstances I haven't really played since around Feb 2023, and just booted up the game for the first time since moments ago. Seeing a LOT of changes, especially the new talent tree. Can anyone help provide some brief advice on catch up?

[eternal pike]

Is there a pref people take when it comes to flak or carapace for surge?

[ripe crater]

Randomly distribute talents and jump into auric maelstrom and win easily

[hot zephyr]

and here I was going to just not put any talents in and jump into damnation runs 😛

[potent echo]

New map and new tileset

[ripe crater]

On a more serious note, you could check the pins for some builds, steam guides and etc.. Currently there are a few busted things giving rather nice advantages, such as Empowered Psionics combined with Smite giving Surge Staff the Emp Psi buff, without using up charges. Rending for assail through Handcannon and Uncanny strike blessings. Those are the 2 big ones I know of atm.

[kind jay]

we're going to the clown show. free admission if you wear your beta helmet

[potent echo]

Read the psyker atheneum, has all the info you will ever need plus more

[orchid shadow]

You'll want Flak for sure. Carapace on a good staff will reduce the number of zaps needed from 3 to 2, but that'll need to be combined with EP using the surge bug for that. So it's usually Flak + Maniac or Flak + Crit.

[cosmic sigil]

@near wyvern has something to say about that

[potent echo]

#psyker-class message

[hot zephyr]

Where can I find this? I assume the emperor's wisdom (google) will yield this?

Gotchu, also pins

[eternal pike]

https://youtu.be/QibVVpAOE-U?si=O1T3hWM4a7lGFIaL

I've been running this and it's been super fun

[ember sonnet]

Am I cool now?

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, I've got a decent amount of equipment. I was hording plasteel and diamontine so I have... a lot....

[ripe crater]

Actually.. 95. Just 5 points short. But yes, possibly one of the best surge staffs anyone has right now.

[olive ember]

Weakspot damage is a fucking meme on surge lmao

[true cobalt]

this must be some weird rounding thing but this is a 381 base even tho its 380

[hot zephyr]

Thanks for this link, reading through it now. Much appreciated.

[cobalt bone]

what should i redo as last thing?

the 20% damage or the other blessing?

[wide galleon]

crit dam to crit chance

????

if you’re trying to make a fire sword

[cobalt bone]

i wanna make fire sword

ah now i see

sry i read that wrong

#psyker-class message

[mossy sundial]

anybody have a perfect psyker build i can begin farming for?

[wide galleon]

see above link

[fading iris]

I... didn't even knew that there is a bug on a talent giving buffs for the surge staff smite until minutes ago, now I know why some ppl act weird when I bust out the ol'surge paddle, I don't use the talent line that is broken because the build I like doesn't use it

[wide galleon]

pretty sure you don’t need smite for it to work

[fading iris]

the secondary skill on surge staff is called surge smite

and don't need it, is the talent middle branch at the end that I forgot the name

[eternal pike]

Didn't the bug get patched already?

[orchid shadow]

The infinite smite was fixed. Then they just went OOPS, now Surge RMB does 125% more damage with enhanced psionics charges

[eternal pike]

[broken mesa]

Just tried the asali build the whole right branch for the first time after the patches, it change a lot it is still cool the crystals are no longer for every situation but they are still cool to use

[royal ibex]

FS moment

[eternal pike]

I might just try it then

I normally go warp siphon

[fading iris]

they forgot the line in the code that tells "so... this smite isn't the smite" or for the charges to went away. could be a feature that came broken, maybe, idk

[eternal pike]

Adding a extra multiplier on there is nuts

[royal ibex]

been running assail with revolver/dome anyway. pretty fun, use assail for massive crowds and having the EP stacks helps on that regard

trying to use thigns that wont eventually egt fixed later on, so avoiding the smite bug for now

[eternal pike]

I really like dome, switched to vent for faster runs but I miss the utility it gives

[fading iris]

my build is assail with surge staff, not using the EP line, having fun so far

[royal ibex]

yeah its one of those 'oh fuck both options are real good for different reasons' moments

[eternal pike]

It's good for everything

With the damage reduc and toughness regen

I'm loving how braindead surge staff is, very fun

[royal ibex]

'melks selling a shredder with a t1 perk' ok but why though

[fading iris]

business

[royal ibex]

do i work on a laspistol or a deimos blaze sword

[fading iris]

I have fun with surge LMB to help the mission friendos to kill heretics, sometimes I forget about peril and end up lighting up like a christmas light because the quell helping skill is on cooldown

[eternal pike]

las dps is nutty

[frank chasm]

Not the worst roll

What blessings should I put on seeing as I have free choice

[eternal pike]

I have mine still rolled to uncanny deflector

Though honestly I don't get much use out of deflector

[frank chasm]

I find deflector much less useful these days

[eternal pike]

I agree

[frank chasm]

I want Slaughterer 4 on it

Can’t figure out if I want to replace uncanny

[royal ibex]

go with the soulblaze on crit for the funny?

[eternal pike]

Rend feels so good though

[frank chasm]

Seeing as I can just replace the blessings whenever I want I think I’ll wait till I have more 4 blessings for the illisi to choose

[fading iris]

"The roll was too good, scrap it to balance the universe out"

[frank chasm]

thanks hadron enjoyer

[eternal pike]

o7

[frank chasm]

My psyker has all the luck. Can’t roll above 350 on the zealot but rolled 4 380s last night on the psyker

[royal ibex]

had hadron brick a 371 revolver yesterday

[eternal pike]

I've been enjoying psyker way more compared to zealot lately, all I use to play was zealot

[fading iris]

++ The Emperor helps ++

[frank chasm]

After she upped her prices you think she’d be nicer

[royal ibex]

this one was right after though so /shrug

[frank chasm]

I do also have this and a 380 surge staff

[fading iris]

my rolls are on the "almost" phase, the stuff that would be a good replacement always get some shenanigan

[royal ibex]

yeah im kind of sitting in the 'eh this is doing work, its not 10/10 but its good enough

i got a duelling sword with t3 shred/riposte

[frank chasm]

yeah I think anything over 370 with 2 good blessings is enough for auric 5s. Anything else is completionism

[royal ibex]

good way to build perfect timing stacks before i throw out some assails lmao

[fading iris]

yeeting space magic rocks ftw

[frank chasm]

I’ve found myself not using assail as much on my builds with the illisi and the surge or void that I have

[royal ibex]

im just glad i found out that blessings are account bound and not character, so i can try get t4 dumdum for all classes instead of trying to get it for each

oh yeah i only keep assail for hordes, revolver till then

shooty spark'ead is more entertaining than i thought itd be

[fading iris]

I know the feeling, I used to be a assail maniac, until realized that I can stunlock npcs with lmb attacks

[royal ibex]

its nice having them as a horde option , lets you use other staffs/guns

[frank chasm]

One of my mates didn’t use the lmb until last night on his void

Now he has an auto clicker for it cause he loves it that much

[fading iris]

I just don't want to be a bad team member, one thing is being bad alone, the other is dragging down the team with me

or like my first heresy mission

where everything was going great... until a dude on the team decided to hug the daemonhost... causing a mission wipe

[frank chasm]

I think unless you actively fuck a DH you can’t be too bad. Just provide another target for the horde lol

[rotund dagger]

Tried my first game of assail psyker

Feel dirty

Got a penance I didn't at all deserve

[opal pebble]

Is Malefic Momentum good for Assail or dimos swrd?

[fading iris]

I mean... that's lore accurate, everything a psyker do is dirty because of the warp

[royal ibex]

which penance

[rotund dagger]

"Dont think I'm impressed Psyker"

"Dont be im just spamming assail"

[rotund dagger]

Dodge This (3)

[royal ibex]

'fragging hel, look at the witch'
please dont i have no idea what im doing

[royal ibex]

lmao nice

[fading iris]

the killsteals because of the stray assails

[rotund dagger]

Its not niiiiiice

[cosmic sigil]

i feel you

[fading iris]

"that killfeed is a lie, I didn't do anything"

[rotund dagger]

"Top Headshots nice psyker"

"yeah..."

'assail psyker being congratulated on most headshots'

[cosmic sigil]

stealing vets tg stacks or ult cdr 😄

[rotund dagger]

What is this language

[fading iris]

everything for my beloved

[cosmic sigil]

vets have a node named confirmed kill

[rotund dagger]

Shards of Hatred, I hate myself I wanna go back to smite

[frank chasm]

BB is where it’s at

Crushers go smack

[cosmic sigil]

it's 25tg gained if they kill an elite

[rotund dagger]

but my mouse is fucked so I keep tap firing smite against my will

[fading iris]

lore accurate (2)

[cosmic sigil]

and you have a bunch of talent with ability cooldown reductions when you kill an elite

(ogryn, vet)

[fading iris]

I hope that the surge staff doesn't get a random nerf after the talent fix

[barren arch]

y'know one of these days I gotta remember what the fuck all the staff names are man

[spice veldt]

love my poggatus and turauma

[fading iris]

I like purgatus and surge, surge a bit more, and yes, I have fun with the most random stuff, like 1v1 flamer with purgatus while saying "I can make fire too! "

[barren arch]

red vs blue, who will win

honestly I'm kind of glad with the changes to Soulfire, making it spread and all that, it's been a lotta fun using it

my only problem is now I've grown too attached to my flame staff that idk what else to try

[frank chasm]

God the difference between this chat and the zealot chat

[fading iris]

there is two things that I don't like on my psyker, the 10% quell talent and my movement speed

[frank chasm]

yeah the movement speed is annoying

[orchid shadow]

What's up with Zealot chat?

[frank chasm]

People don’t realise how slow you are and leave you behind a lot. Had a go at some of my usual party members about it

[frank chasm]

So many messages it’s like being in the brain of an ADHD kid, while this is civilised Pysker talk

[barren arch]

I always imagined classical music playing in the background here

[frank chasm]

It epitomises the difference between the classes it’s funny

[spice veldt]

vet mains migrating to zealot chat 😔

[fading iris]

It's because if we go too happy, we ended up being used as batteries for the golden throne

[frank chasm]

Happiness is a luxury for those without the voices

[barren arch]

ironically enough the Psyker mains are well adjusted it seems

[spice veldt]

you can always dodge while quelling, or slide -> quell if you have the APM for that

[crystal oxide]

The Enforcer psyker is probably the only background where they had indepth firearms training yeah?

[fading iris]

I'm a Toaster blessed by the Omnissiah, ofc I'm well adjusted

[crystal oxide]

Glad my gun psyker is one if so

[umbral helm]

whatever mine is I don't think he was trained for it considering he half the time forgets how to reload

[barren arch]

my guy's the Loner

I knew I would pick him and name him Richtofen since the days of the betas

[umbral helm]

which, him not even knowing how to operate a gun makes his efficiency with one and how unhinged he is about using it all the more funny now that I think about it

[royal ibex]

so why did the shitpost channel get yeeted

[ornate hamlet]

should I be using a force staff or rifle for my main weapon

[frank chasm]

I like to think it’s a ||REDACTED|| demon helping us

[ornate hamlet]

spoiler: I'd rather not use a rifle on a Psyker

[frank chasm]

Depends if you like being useful or being useful

[crystal oxide]

His Beloved is a deamon of gun safety

[frank chasm]

But force staff

[crystal oxide]

He's trying his best!

[spice oar]

anything

[ornate hamlet]

which is the useful one

[frank chasm]

Psyker seems like a big NRA fan

[frank chasm]

Both are good. You fill different niches but use what you enjoy

[ornate hamlet]

gun is better tho?

[frank chasm]

Not overly

if you want to be a sweat sure

But the staffs offer other useful tools that the guns don’t, despite the slightly lower damage

[ornate hamlet]

what guns do they usually use

[umbral helm]

the effectiveness of anything depends less on the thing and more on the one using it, if we're going to be completely honest here

[frank chasm]

Like surge stuns mutants, purge staggers everything with the left click, trauma is a great corner clutch and void goes brrrr

Recon lasgun

But you’re more useful not using ammo imo

[ornate hamlet]

i think he's talking in the context of optimal play

[frank chasm]

I am

[umbral helm]

that does not change what I said

[frank chasm]

Indeed it does not

[barren arch]

long story short, multiple factors:

1. memes outlived its use
2. it has been steadily growing offtopic
3. original memes were slowly being outpushed by reposted/offtopic/rulebreaking memes
4. everyone in the Warden team just had enough, as we each had our 'turn' moderating it and it rarely made a dent in the problems

in the end, we had a decently long discussion, thought about alternatives, and decided the best course of action is just going through with it

[frank chasm]

but on auric maels staffs and lasguns are just as good

I’d use staves because you’re less of an ammo burden for vets

If no vets a shield + gun build can be a good support

[ornate hamlet]

you said recon lasgun is what psykers usually run? I actually dont use that as vet

[barren arch]

shield + gun Psyker sounds like a lot of fun

[frank chasm]

Yeah

[barren arch]

just unsure how I'd do it

like that sounds like a frontliner if I ever heard one lmao

[frank chasm]

Normally it’s because of the fire rate and CDR on crit.

I don’t run Gunpsyker cause it’s boring

But surge shield is a frontline fun

[crystal oxide]

You basically become a much more survivable ex stance Vet with the right build

Can be neat, but I swap it up if I notice the squad has based Vets

[ornate hamlet]

is that the one with purple lightning that you kill everything with

[frank chasm]

Yesss

Surge staff

[ornate hamlet]

how do I get it

[frank chasm]

Not smite

[barren arch]

hey, again, sounds fukken cool lol

[frank chasm]

Smite is one of the blitzes so you have to spec in on your talent tree

surge staff is the lighting staff

[steel flame]

It sounds like you need more 160% movement speed ranged immunity, play like a zealot, crit all the time laspistol psyker in your life

[frank chasm]

Smite can be good, a teamed purge flamer and smite psyker pair can melt anything

[orchid shadow]

Laspistol, Revolver with Assail, or Columnus MkV

[frank chasm]

People like you scare and excite me. Got a build I can follow ?- I want to try this

[steel flame]

I garentee this won't bore you

[frank chasm]

I want to name my stuff how do I do that? One of the mods?

[fading iris]

I like the sword name

[steel flame]

Ignore the laspistool

[frank chasm]

I play a lot but don’t mod too much

[steel flame]

I use infernus and dumdum with crit chance and unyielding on my laspistol

[barren arch]

I believe it's the ultimate weapon customizer mod or whatever it's called hold on

[steel flame]

It's a mod call rename anything

I think

[crystal oxide]

There's a build where you actually use the barrier shield offensively, keep a shield charge in your pocket, use it to stun a swarm of ragers when they try to rush you

[barren arch]

turns out I'm wrong

[frank chasm]

Sick

[steel flame]

I can grab the link

[crystal oxide]

Melt the buggers with your rifle and finish em off with dueling or force sword

[steel flame]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/181

[fading iris]

I really... really don't like the 10% chance quell thingy, always feels that isn't working

[steel flame]

It's called name it

[frank chasm]

Love you

[ornate hamlet]

is enfeeble with smite good?

[steel flame]

It's really nice for changing stuff quick when you have a large inventory

[rotund dagger]

Must take

[crystal oxide]

This will make my armoury less cancer to look through thanks

[ornate hamlet]

ah ok cool

[frank chasm]

Yeah I need name my 15 different Evis, Duelling swords and auto guns lmao

I also have the more load outs mod so that helps a bit

[fading iris]

a lot of mods could be vanilla features

[frank chasm]

Shhhh

don’t say that

it raises your hopes

[orchid shadow]

Depends on what it's used with. With Smite, it's good combined with Enhanced Psionic charges. The bigger the horde you use it on, the more potential value you get out of it.

[fading iris]

Sorry, let me be clear, what I don't like is that always works when I'm not looking at it or when I "don't need it", so end up feeling like I'm wasting a point, my beloved the voice at my head telling me is working isn't enough when a horde wants my psyker sexy body

[rotund dagger]

Literally just ride atop the ogryn and spam assail

[frank chasm]

I wish I could piggyback on the Og

[fading iris]

that would be a neat skill

[frank chasm]

Give me like an elephant palenquin

[steel flame]

Anyway you can get the laspistol to 45% crit chance baseline with the ability to boost it further to 65% with scrier, and you have true aim for more crit, this means you can keep empathic evasion up indefinitely as long as you are hitting an enemy with the laspistol. You crits are also returning 5% toughness Regen, and speeding you up by 15%, plus the 5% passive move speed perk, destiny gives you another 20% on killing marked enemies and scrier boosts it be another 20% which means you can absolutely fly while also being able to entirely ignore shotguns, snipers, gunners and reapers

[fading iris]

"allow one of your squad members to go in your shoulder"

[umbral helm]

not the first time I've heard someone say they want to ride an Ogryn

[frank chasm]

Although because I’m a max height psyker and my friend has a dwarf Og we’re like the same height 😅

[frank chasm]

I’m intrigued. Definitely want that now

[fading iris]

what if the Ogryn is on top holding a big shield

[frank chasm]

I think my frail psyker body would snap

I wish one of the psyker trees was biomancy

[fading iris]

then you two can put a big coat and say "I'm a lost Primarch"

[frank chasm]

so you could have an Ult to make your melee stronger or increase a base armour state like Steelskin

[frank chasm]

** we is Vulkan**

[fading iris]

I love this.\

[umbral helm]

"what kinda tat you want man"
"Curse of Ra"

[rotund dagger]

The entirety of Atoma Prime vs 1 Assail Psyker
Who would win

[frank chasm]

Gimme that “all work and no play” across my whole face

[fading iris]

the infinite toughness zealot

[steel flame]

And THEN you have infernus proccing constantly and is boosted by dumdum and all your other damage and the laspistol melts through bosses and ogryns, hence the unyielding, only thing it can't kill are crushers and mutants but thats what the saber is for. And you also have combustion going off all the time from the elite kills which can melt through mixed hordes. You have assail for quick staggers to set up kills, clean trash, and to Regen your toughness really fast. It's great for killing trash to conserve ammo, staggering ragers and by throwing a few shards then quick swapping to laspistol it can also stack dumdum to ramp your laspistol damage faster

[obtuse moth]

trauma staggers more than purge, also they stealth nerfed purge lmb to no longer stagger crushers :<

[frank chasm]

It does but it was an example

[fading iris]

Frost Staff when

[steel flame]

Ok Ive barfed enough words on screen now

[cosmic sigil]

sadly yeah, and zealot mains lurk here, in zealot chat 2

[fading iris]

at the end, everybody is Ogryn

[umbral helm]

I run a pretty traditional kinetic flayer setup with warp charges on my laspistol, personally. though I still use scriers for the funny. I've considered moving over to DD for its buffs though. might make a separate loadout just for it

[frank chasm]

I hope we get a new staff for the anniversary update

[storm cargo]

I should hit 30 tonight finally, can start fine tuning weapons and hunting gear down

[obtuse moth]

they didnt revert the vet talent to give grenades to team right? someone in game is insisting you need the talent even though i said tooltip was a lie and fatshark confirmed

tried to ask in vet chat, no response

[fading iris]

I want to try a gunsker, but then I remember ammunation, and I want to think about that only while playing the other classes

[storm cargo]

I gunsker! Its fun

[frank chasm]

yeah I avoid it for that reason

[umbral helm]

I have a setup for everything, and which I play depends on my mood

[frank chasm]

I also play martyr zealot so I never need ammo there too

[obtuse moth]

you really dont have to worry about ammo if you have assail

[frank chasm]

Ammo doesn’t even register in my brain

[obtuse moth]

i was always back at 100% even on monstrous specialists spamming laspistol as much as i could at bosses

[fading iris]

ha neeeerd (says the wh40k toaster on a game discord)

[storm cargo]

Ammo is no issue half the time I'm paird with zealots and psykers so I get all the ammo lol

[fading iris]

assail is on my main build

[umbral helm]

survivalist vets acting as more of an ammo funnel than a killing machine just going "yes honey" as the kill feed fills with every name but theirs

[storm cargo]

Currently with my build I can get away with 9 brain bursts on boss mobs.

[fading iris]

and I want to use a power sword but have zero cool skins for it

I don't want to kill heretics, I want to kill herectis with style

and no, I don't want to install mods

in case there is a mod for that

[hearty oak]

Wait... does the psyker get the colum mk 5 IAG?

[brittle crest]

Yes

[hearty oak]

Ayyy

[umbral helm]

I'm more partial to the Vraks when it comes to the rifles but that's just personal preference. I like single shot over automatic

[gloomy magnet]

i feel that voidstrike can't deal high damage

[ornate hamlet]

how do I use my smite ability. Do I just tap fire it or hold down mb1

[cosmic sigil]

assail + scryer makes me uneasy, i tend to enjoy it too much until i blow up

[fading iris]

Gunsker is like that AK47 Gandalf picture, best of both worlds

[hearty oak]

55 rounds to trigger mind flayer, dumdum and raking fire

[storm cargo]

Yeah I use the recon las gun to get a lot of hits to trigger the free brain burst

[fading iris]

Everybody is gangster until the psyker starts to do Vogue hands

[royal ibex]

woe shards upon ye

[tawny pebble]

slay girl

slay those heretics

[fading iris]

[cosmic sigil]

i think they changed how crits work on recon lasguns

[tawny pebble]

hold down

[ornate hamlet]

but i cant tell if its doing damage to the other bad guys next to it

[tawny pebble]

hold mb2 to charge it up for instant effect though

[fading iris]

I didn't even knew about the achievement of killing with the peril 100% explosion, I just decided to get heretics to go with me to the warp

[tawny pebble]

yeah, it takes a little bit to jump from one to another

[cosmic sigil]

there is a the weapon customization mod

[tawny pebble]

there's a keystone that improves jump speed

[fading iris]

[cosmic sigil]

i use the 2 handed power sword skin on my psword and my forceswords

[tawny pebble]

also generally speaking just look at how they're moving or if they are at all

[steel flame]

Ikr. I tend to cycle though, I use scrier exclusively for saber and laspistol which is typically when I need big damage spikes then use assail in scrier downtimes when peril is freed up and I want to conserve ammo

[tawny pebble]

if you've locked them in their stun animation just ignore lack of electricity

[fading iris]

we need a stim pack buffer class to buff movement speed of the squad

[royal ibex]

inquisitor class that yells at everyone to move faster like inspire

[ornate hamlet]

i also tend to overload and kill myself. not sure how to manage it and when to use the staff, my ability or melee wep since it all takes psykik power

[cosmic sigil]

that is exactly the discipline i must have... i will try your build later, i need to find a laspistol with infernus, i have dumdum and reassuringly accurate locked

[fading iris]

dumdum keeps reminding me of cyberpunk 2077

[brittle crest]

Yea that’s basically what I do, sorta alternate what I spend peril on

[tawny pebble]

unless you're going for a high-peril build to proc crits etc. there's little reason to not quell anytime it's convenient

[brittle crest]

I’ll have to try laspistol tho

I’m a revolver enjoyer atm

[tawny pebble]

and because of Quietude you can even save your life by quelling

[royal ibex]

laspistol is in a better spot now. its hard to stop using the dopamine machine that is the revolver though

[ornate hamlet]

whats quietude

[tawny pebble]

early talent? lets you restore toughness by quelling peril?

[cosmic sigil]

i was wondering.... scryer + warp rider + warp charges viable with a revolver to boost dmg?

my current build is assail shield ep

• revolver

[tawny pebble]

actually very early lol, literally one of the first ones you can get

[royal ibex]

fellow revolver dome enjoyer. nice

[steel flame]

I love running right at a horde of shooters trying to kill me while shooting my laspistol, knowing full well they can lay a finger on me as long as I have anmo

[fading iris]

nothing like getting toughness while getting and cleaning peril... and I still manage to blow up sometimes, it's amazing how dumdum(not the gun) I can be

[ornate hamlet]

ah gotcha

[royal ibex]

ranged immunity on headshot blessing?

[cosmic sigil]

i enjoy putting the shield and just blast through everything

[tawny pebble]

lol i know, i try hard to keep up on my peril hygiene but sometimes the head just pop

[fading iris]

https://tenor.com/view/started-blasting-gun-eyeglasses-so-anyway-i-started-blasting-gif-16955226

[brittle crest]

Oh cause you use ghost on your laspistol?

[steel flame]

Empathic evasions, Crits give ranged immunity

[royal ibex]

ive had some smooth brain moments before with assail. its why i stick a +1 wounds curio on at any time just as insurance

[brittle crest]

Ohhhh

Nice

[tawny pebble]

i've been curio farming forever

i am still bereft of a +1 wound curio

[royal ibex]

lmao oof.

for me it was logging on psyekr after playing a LOT of vet/ogryn, to find i had no toughness curios

got a +16% one atm

[shadow wigeon]

Anyone cooked up any ridiculous sword/staff Scrier's Builds?

[fading iris]

I... have ordo perks on curios and I wish I had pasteel perks

[royal ibex]

god if only

[steel flame]

You can get laspistol to 45% base crit chance and 65% with scrier meaning, as long as you are shooting literally anything, you are virtually immune to all ranged damage

You can walk into 20 gunners and there not a dam thing they can do to you

Then you can just drive them into melee and murder em with saber

Its a real power trip

[cosmic sigil]

Feels like old vet VF + UF

[steel flame]

Reload isn't even an issue cause you can just dodge slide and reload

[rotund dagger]

379 Surge Staff

[steel flame]

Nice

[rotund dagger]

69% Damage

[steel flame]

Sadge

That's rough buddy

[rotund dagger]

80% Quell Speed though

[brittle crest]

I’m gonna have to give it a try cause I hate gunners lol

[steel flame]

its fun trolling shotgunners too

[frank chasm]

So you can not do a lot of damage quickly

[brittle crest]

My laspistol doesn’t have a crit perk unforch, unless I give up unyielding

[steel flame]

ah its fine

40% is still enough to keep empathic going

you got true aim to for more crits

[rotund dagger]

What's the talent that makes surge super busted

[steel flame]

its not super busted

[frank chasm]

Empowered Psionics

that plus fast charge on chain

[steel flame]

but the thing making it deal double damage is empowered, cause it doubles smites damage

[rotund dagger]

sweeet

[steel flame]

and they coded smite off surge

[fading iris]

only thing that I don't like on my surge staff is that the blessings are tier 3

[rotund dagger]

the struggle

[fading iris]

Question: Can you have 80% across the board or the system always takes from one/multi modfiers to and put on the others?

[steel flame]

i wouldnt worry bout it, im in the same boat, looking for a perfect roll

i have a perfect stat and perk roll with infernus

but its locked with reassuring accuracy

[fading iris]

[rotund dagger]

380 is the highest base stats can go, 80% across the board is impossible

[fading iris]

good to know, ty plasteel enjoyer

next class release will be a Minotaurs Space Marine

[storm cargo]

I'm not really worried about the crits honestly. The gun for how I use it is to clear hords and build up my mind charges. Gives me 3 free fast brain bursts, drop one sheild for one more almost free fast BB the drop second sheild for one last almost free fast BB. I melt bosses.

[fading iris]

and eyes with all the effects

I like it

[storm cargo]

Wow missing the @ completely makes this feel out of context lol

[bleak tulip]

[storm cargo]

But yeah my tac psyker as I call it, stuns mobs with sheilds, sets fire lines, supports the team and focus burns bosses its a lot of fun.

[fading iris]

Tacker

[hollow jolt]

I mean maybe for YOU it is

Nurgle has blessed my staff UwU with all 100s

[storm cargo]

Lol nice, tonight I hopefully will hit 30 and fine tune it. It's a build that looks akward on paper but it flows so well.

[cobalt granite]

Why 99% of people are playing psyker?

[strong gulch]

Emps was very kind.

[gloomy magnet]

they like edging

[hollow jolt]

because we're close to the Warp

[cobalt granite]

98 out of those 99 are extremely far from the Warp.

[hollow jolt]

that's what the Warp wants you to think

[fading iris]

Poor gunker

[storm cargo]

.... weapons and gear... that's going to be a rough grind for me I think.

[gloomy magnet]

why should psyker use machine gun? it's not good to rob bullets from teammates

[fading iris]

You only need to worry about plasteel, the rest is easy

[hollow jolt]

psycannon next week

believe me Sibling

[royal ibex]

becaus eevery so often you get a sudden urge to use a break actionr evolver with a dome protecting you

[cobalt granite]

Good point. Oh, wait. You have 3 psyker team mates anyway.

[fading iris]

gun psyker could have a talent like the 1 grenade from vet, but for ammo

[potent echo]

just ignore all the psyker should use ammo nonsense

[fading iris]

turn peril into bullets

[cobalt granite]

Gun psyker should have a blitz ability that allows to telekinetally catch enemy bomber's bomb

With friendly fire

[potent echo]

zealots and ogryns use ammo too

[cobalt granite]

[royal ibex]

anyone know what happened to the shitpost channel?

[cobalt granite]

You go check that

[fading iris]

you don't need to worry about ammo if everybody is dead

[cobalt granite]

Or if everybody is psyker

[fading iris]

acording to general chat, got yeeted into the warp

something bad probably happened because we can't have nice things

[royal ibex]

sounds about right

[hollow jolt]

someone posted the Darktide secret Tzeentch plot there

[cobalt granite]

Why shitpost in a specific place when you can shitpost everywhere

[storm cargo]

Rob you say? Nay sir I strategically transport equipment to alternative location. I do not rob ammo.

[hollow jolt]

brb shitposting in pet-tide UwU

[tiny swallow]

bruh what do i want on my curios

[hollow jolt]

psyker can't go wrong with Toughness

[tiny swallow]

think 2 toughness and 1 stamina will do well?

[hollow jolt]

my friend uses 3 toughness but he uses Purg staff

[tiny swallow]

i like the extra stam i got so ill hold onto it, what about changeable stuff

[hollow jolt]

iirc he put Toughness + Cooldown Regen + a mix of stamina regen and toughness regen

[tiny swallow]

understandable, i like that idea

[hollow jolt]

keep in mind, that toughness regen basically turns off when nearby enemies

so he has it because purg staff keeps enemies away very well

[tiny swallow]

im not worried about melee too much, got plenty of practice spamming effective dodges lmao

if enemies get past assail lmao

[hollow jolt]

doesn't hurt to keep in mind though

funny toughness mechanics

[tiny swallow]

[hollow jolt]

"what if coherency sucked ass lmao"

Fatshark pls

[ebon vine]

yknow i got an idea for like, a new talent/keystone for psyker, basically in its base form when you use perils of the warp (overheat explosion) you dont go down but you still take the corruption damage. thoughts?

[hollow jolt]

I want to become a daemon portal when I detonate

if I die, it should be everyone's problem

[rigid rune]

Should also increase overheat explosion damage and range

[ebon vine]

yeah

and give stacks of soulblaze to all enemies in proximity as a keystone mod

maybe increasing speed while about to explode and allowing manual detonation

hell-powered bomb

[lapis bay]

Whats a good melee for hordes

[velvet bridge]

Okay Veteran sucks

Psyker is so much cooler

[rigid rune]

Mark 5 force sword is good

[velvet bridge]

Imperial space wizard gang
We love casting smite

[hollow jolt]

you just need better weapon

[ebon vine]

holy shit is that a ripper gun

[hollow jolt]

iirc its a shredder pistol

[flint swallow]

does smite empowerments still buff surge staff?

[hollow jolt]

yes

[flint swallow]

o nice ty

[hollow jolt]

Empowered Psionics + Surge is the new crutch build

[flint swallow]

fair enough lol

[hollow jolt]

be aware that it tends to make players tunnel vision

so just keep in mind that teammates will go run off to kill your smite targets, but that means you're not guarded anymore

[jolly cedar]

Anyone know this roleplaying guy called rat?

He pretends to be a rat all the time.

[charred bay]

[ebon vine]

skaven in a warpstone powered bodysuit

[flint swallow]

am I wrong for saying that this sounds like more of a skill issue than anything else

[hollow jolt]

to be fair, smite does make it hard to see around you

but yeah keep that dodge on hand and don't be afraid to break smite

[royal ibex]

there goes my hero

[charred bay]

Ending smite before 100% peril also knocks back most enemies

So it gives you some breathing room

[flint swallow]

I’m just not a fan of normal smite and I want to put it on at least one of my loadouts

[royal ibex]

howd i do

[flint swallow]

idk why tbh it’s just not my thing

[hollow jolt]

just don't die and you're already doing better than most psykers

[ebon vine]

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT
BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM
mfw

[rotund dagger]

i normally dont consider weapons below 360, but how about this?

worth consecrating?

[hollow jolt]

only needs to change Executor and the crit

nice

[hollow jolt]

meanwhile the ENLIGHTENED psyker doesn't need to "CC"

he simply butchers them 💪

[ebon vine]

is that a ogryn blade on a sword handle

[hollow jolt]

no that's a normal forcesword

trust me sibling

see? looks fine

[royal ibex]

nothing wrong here move along inquisitor

[ebon vine]

bowie knife design found by a psyker, he made some revisons before turning it in

[floral thorn]

does the charge effect apply properly to that

not sure, I reinstalled the normal one after fucking around a bit (it breaks gun sights for me)

[flint swallow]

what’s a gun

[charred bay]

It's what the simpletons uses

[brave fiber]

how is surge on the trauma staff?

[royal ibex]

look sometimes i wanna roleplay as a wizard cowboy alright

[flint swallow]

ykw I can respect that

carry on

[hollow jolt]

the Emperor's true weapon is the Revolver

[cobalt granite]

You clarly are a heretic

And need to be purged

[ebon vine]

we need to ask hadron for an oversimplified bolter for ogryns

[hollow jolt]

me when I GET you

[royal ibex]

nah give em a revolver like hellboys

https://tenor.com/view/revolver-ocelot-gif-25376918

'me on my way as gun psyker to eat all the ammo packs, denying the kickback crutch users their dopamine'

[ebon vine]

we need to get hadron to take a ripper gun's mechanisms and put em in a bolter so big guys can blow open enemies

[royal ibex]

that sounds like tech heresy

[ebon vine]

that message was for a chat

and also
certain tech priests can invent

[hollow jolt]

brb putting Phospherex inside my laspistol

[ebon vine]

Its always a coin flip on whether or not questions get answered here ong

Wish I had that JFK meme

[hollow jolt]

try reading

wait nvm

I'm stupid

[rotund dagger]

Bruh

[hollow jolt]

sorry sibling D:

[rotund dagger]

[hollow jolt]

I personally don't like it as I often quell with Surge staff

[frank chasm]

It’s a bit meh

[rotund dagger]

I'm also using venting shriek, and I figure I can just swap to blitz or sword for quelling

[hollow jolt]

yeah I'd probably not go for it just to be safe

[frank chasm]

you have to quell a lot with Surge but do it for the blessings at least

[hollow jolt]

idk what build you're going for so I'm not going to assume you have Mind in Motion to quell safer

a low item score is cheaper for plasteel

[frank chasm]

True

[brave fiber]

anyone know if surge does anything for trauma?

it seems like it doesnt

[hollow jolt]

wouldn't hurt to upgrade to see if you get some god roll or can scrap for blessings

[hollow jolt]

like almost a year ago, it didn't but I haven't checked on it since Patch 13

nvm still fucked

[hollow jolt]

I wouldn't use it

seems to only affect left mouse attack (the projectile thingy)

[brave fiber]

big lame

[hollow jolt]

such is life

[brave fiber]

keeping it just in case it gets fixed ever

[hollow jolt]

Surge staff doesn't even have Surge

[brave fiber]

but tis but a pipe dream

[frank chasm]

Does surge affect the charged shot for the void?

I never seem to notice it

[hollow jolt]

apparently yes

[brave fiber]

yes

[hollow jolt]

but not for trauma lol

[crystal oxide]

Why does my psyker get the most based melee weapons my poor Vet dreams of.

[royal ibex]

its a gift from my beloved

[brave fiber]

seriously though i keep getting the sickest melees for other classes on psyker

[crystal oxide]

Its a shame I just love the force swords too much

Very satisfying sticking a warp HEAT charge into someone's ass

combi-staff pls

plasma gun + void strike

OH GOD IM BOUTA

IM BOUTTA

AMBATUBAAASSSSSS

AMBATUKAAAAAAAM

Though it ways power sword not force sword

There's a chance this is for vet or more likely considering how vehemently they guard the 2 handed weapon picks, zealot

[hollow jolt]

the mod is flexible

you can do quite a lot to the force swords while still being a force sword

[hearty dagger]

That is

That is cursed.

Hell nah i ain't downloading no tarkov weapon customization mod

[hollow jolt]

you haven't even seen the dueling swords UwU

[hearty dagger]

i could

kill you

What keystone do you guys find best for Assail + Dome. I was using Warp Siphon for more shield time

[frail sand]

if only this emperor's gift was the VId

does AM give better emperor's gifts?

[thorn cedar]

technically yes

but its a variable range

it just pushes that range further up

i have gotten purples from maelstroms, and one of my godrolls came from a game of heresy i played with a friend

it do be like that sometimes

[royal ibex]

ive gotten some decent 500+ from emperors gifts on normal damnation, and ive also been given a 440 orange from auric maelstroms

[harsh urchin]

Sure! Feel free to ask if you have any questions

[steel egret]

After regular damnation I would imagine its all the same on auric or damnation maelstrom, either way.

[cobalt granite]

Feels like it. Damnation can give you purples. AM only gives yellows. At least thats how it has been for me so far.

Also they sometimes have a nicer score.

[worthy dune]

Plz tell me this aint miss half the dump stats or sumn

[hollow current]

most gifts are trash anyways. just extra dockets or blessings

[cobalt granite]

True

The only way to get anything is dump a shit ton of money and plasteel

[cobalt granite]

It's alright...

I mean if you dont have anything better, u can start somewhere

[worthy dune]

I'll take it, slightly better than the one I have now

[frail sand]

at least auric missions are good for dockets...

[worthy dune]

Mobility 80% is my curse

[frail sand]

lol

[worthy dune]

Auric should give like 200 extra plasteel

[potent echo]

2000*

trauma and duelling sword is so good against crusher and mauler blobs

My heart is gonna blow up

[cobalt granite]

Do AM missions with power supply interruption ever happen?

[umbral helm]

I can't remember any that I've personally seen off the top of my head, but I don't see why they couldn't. though I could see it being a bit annoying with certain combos of modifiers

nurgle blessed things would stand out a lot, probably

[echo turtle]

Just had a game with a scriers gaze psyker, good damage with assail but unsurprisingly he blew himself up about 6 times

[primal plume]

Is scriers gaze viable for Purgatus or am i just schizo

[echo turtle]

Imo it's not

[unique mist]

it is not

[primal plume]

yeah im doing some testing

honestly feels warp stacks is better than the bonus scriers gives

damn

warp stacks feels way better than the others tbh

[frail sand]

i swear AM can be easier than some normal damnation missions because of competent teammates

[worthy dune]

The base was okay but man the everything else I just spammed thru it rip the plasteel

I'm thinkin riposte to slaughterer and melee crit dmg to maniac since it has deflector

[frail sand]

i still dont have a good illisi, took a lot of rolls already

im trying to get a better voidstrike and brunt is also telling me to eat shit

AM is very healthy for my docket economy

[plucky flax]

Why so?

[burnt island]

Unable to deal with all the Dreg gunners and riflemen that were accompanying the mass maniac spawns.

[plucky flax]

2 psykers and no range clear?

[burnt island]

Both assail.

and the zealots were knive throwers.

[plucky flax]

Assail guys let the team down.

[worthy dune]

knife thrower zealot
can't deal with range
couldn't be me

[burnt island]

I can't recall the mission name, but it was that open area where you could choose to go up and fight in a courtyard, or fight below it in the very beginning

[umbral helm]

not enough people utilize the rmb on assail for stuff that's further away. it's the "that fucker in particular" portion of the ability

[burnt island]

And they went up in the courtyard.

psykers overwhelmed by the mass mutant spawns

[plucky flax]

I still only left click on assail and it's still op af.

[worthy dune]

Most people using assailker don't wanna do more than lmb assail, I've seen those mfs get into melee with crushers and not swap weapons

[plucky flax]

I do abuse handcannon assail though.

[umbral helm]

to be fair most people aren't ready for the football team, but still. just sounds like team comp wasn't there

[plucky flax]

Psyker assail clutch against muties spam maelstrom
https://youtu.be/vT5qs9MK3dA

[umbral helm]

I like to matador them with the heavies from devils claw

fully understand why, but honestly a little disappointed we can't parry their charge with it. it'd be hilarious to just get the timing on it right and go smack "fuck outta here"

we at least still have the funny of Ogryns throwing a box/rock at them mid charge and watching them ragdoll at mach speed because they retain their momentum

[worthy dune]

I like most the melee weapons but I'm obsessed with Illisi rn, so much fun and so good in most situations

Give it power cycler

Jkjk

[umbral helm]

covering it in the psychic goop and sweeping through a poxwalker horde

(this causes the good brain chemical)

[gloomy magnet]

i expect charged punch as melee

[umbral helm]

honestly, yeah. I could see that

[gloomy magnet]

definitely one punch psyker

[umbral helm]

we need shirtless to come back if we get that, become the ultimate shadow boxer

[cosmic sigil]

what is your build ac?

[umbral helm]

the difference being, the shadows they're boxing are real

[plucky flax]

I showed at the beginning of this vid. Core of the build is handcannon blessing on revolver, ep, and tru aim

[royal ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-fuego-gif-26833875

[umbral helm]

unrelated, but after finally building a columnus; yeah I can see why people like this thing. I still prefer Vraks but it's fun to magdump from the hip with it and watch the funny yellow numbers ramp up

[royal ibex]

'now what do i change the perks to'

flak/crit maybe?

[plucky flax]

I have flak unyielding on mine. You can have flak + maniac/unyielding/ crit chance up to you

[shy pewter]

The nice thing is that you dont have to touch the blessings at all so you cant brick it, you can always change the perks however you want. Flak/maniac is probably the way to go

[obtuse moth]

i like unyielding

[plucky flax]

I have unyielding since psyker monster damage is low.

[umbral helm]

seems the consensus is flak/pick your poison

[obtuse moth]

its the one thing that its effective on that needs the most boosting and psyker's boss damage is its weakness

[royal ibex]

ill give crit inyielding a go, and if the crit chance is too neglectable change it to flak

least im free to change it lmao

[obtuse moth]

it just means theres a 5% chance for two stacks instead of 1 but itll still cap at 15stacks

[plucky flax]

Noooo have flak on it

[cosmic sigil]

you use creeping flame and stuff for horde clear?

[plucky flax]

It helps a lot against maulers and scab ragers.

[royal ibex]

flak unyielding it is

[shy pewter]

Honestly crit chance doesn't add as much since you already have nexus. like its fine but a type damage is probably better

[plucky flax]

Yeah build peril then creeping flame for horde clear. Then get on melee to activate rampage for 36% power boost for the burn.

[royal ibex]

now to just work on getting a semi decent deimos blaze sword

[cosmic sigil]

that old shredder /illisi trick lmao

they fixed slaughterer but not ht or rampage i assume

[plucky flax]

You can use slaughterer force sword if you want.

[cosmic sigil]

slaughterer still boosts burn???

[plucky flax]

They fixed in a way that slaughterer used to stack just by having the weapon out. Now you need to kill stuff.

[cosmic sigil]

oh

[plucky flax]

But yeah slaughterer still works. It's just 40% power now instead of 75%.

So rampage and slaughterer are closer.

[cosmic sigil]

i have access to rampage 4 and uncanny 4, what would you do?

[frail sand]

riposte is fine

precog to uncanny, wp to flak maybe

[cosmic sigil]

there is this one as well

[plucky flax]

You definitely want uncanny.

[cosmic sigil]

well, i already have a shred uncanny duelling sword, i wanted something different, is uncanny that much of a bis like pinning fire?

[plucky flax]

But you also need to change perk so I'd just keep a crit chance boosting blessing + uncanny.

It is needed to kill crusher.

[cosmic sigil]

i do use a revolver tho

i am worried that having surgical handcannon and uncanny is a bit redudant

[umbral helm]

did you plan on using it for horde clear, then?

[plucky flax]

If the crusher is at melee range I use my sword.

[cosmic sigil]

i assume that the duelling sword is not really used for horde clear

[plucky flax]

It can work with rampage.

[umbral helm]

depends how you use it. I used deimos on hordes for a while, just gotta know when and where to angle the slashes and pokes

also blessings like rampage do help

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/shooting-shimazu-john-wick-keanu-reeves-john-wick-chapter4-gif-26625901

99,999% of my psyker time has been with illisis

[plucky flax]

Xd

[cosmic sigil]

so...

[viscid fox]

What keystone should I use with smite?

[solar sand]

empowered with fire shriek can put in work

[plucky flax]

@cosmic sigil it does okay at horde clear with rampage
#psyker-class message

Oh sorry I was using gazer there I was cheating. But without gaze it's a bit slower.

[viscid fox]

What's fire shriek

[cosmic sigil]

i play with a mate of mine doing 500k range dmg with ep smite and revolver

stunlock everybody, shoot elites, repeat

and poke mutie from time to time

[idle bay]

Melk gone mad today

[cosmic sigil]

apparently the mk1 is reworked

[gloomy magnet]

illinois

[shy pewter]

[frail sand]

dangerously tempting for hadron to brick

[glossy ember]

trust in the omnissiah

[unique sand]

is finesse needed for an illisi force sword

i got this and not sure if i should build it

[fresh reef]

rending trauma kinda good

[tired knoll]

idk how tf i survived that

[vale hatch]

deflector or uncanny

[glossy ember]

what a lad

[tame venture]

i keep seeing that disrupt destiny is broken, how so is it?

conceptually i think it's interesting, though it may not be that useful in all that many builds

[burnt island]

What's the best blaze sword again?

[chilly cobalt]

What is the difference between smite and surge i feel like one makes the other obsolete

[near wyvern]

It only highligights certain type of enemies and at times it fails to show the visual

It's still useful for highly aggressive builds but only for the 1 point to have increased awareness, extra toughness and movement speed to either engage further or disengage.

The stacking damage buff is not worth chasing after because it's so easily dropped so treat that part as just a nice bonus and never worry about dropping stacks. Cause you will drop them, even with the 30 second increase.

[exotic comet]

does crits ever work with BB?

[near wyvern]

Surge is high damage single target with CC and a 24m range. Surge is good for killing elites and specials.

Smite is low damage multi target CC with a 15m initial range. Smite is good for hordes, killing the trash if you properly spec for it while holding down the big bois.

[near wyvern]

BB cannot crit but it will hit the weak spot no matter what (even through captain shield)

The captain shield will take the damage but it counts as hitting weakspot (twice) for relevant blessings. The first strike is from the stagger at around 1 second mark and the second is the actual damage blast in the end.

[exotic comet]

ty

[near wyvern]

And final note, BB is in a rather weak state at the moment. Usually you are better off with Assail or Smite. I only use BB with a Trauma staff because Trauma can deal with everything at close to medium range so you don't need smite of assail and can take that BB go get the sniper across the bridge.

[crystal oxide]

Two gun psykers, a recon Vet, and a relic zealot walk into a bar..

[near wyvern]

That's an Auric damnation version for you

The other Psyker was playing void

[glossy ember]

is that columnus build

[near wyvern]

I am pretty sure these guys were pretty fresh

Yes

[glossy ember]

big

[near wyvern]

It's the Psylot build from Atheneum

[crystal oxide]

Pog

[plucky flax]

The best gun psyker build is handcannon blessing and you just spam assail.

[glossy ember]

technically not a gun

well, close enough

[wet cloak]

Eww gun psykers

[severe folio]

guys i made a fukin katana

[fluid knot]

Weeb.

[severe folio]

guess what sword it is

[fluid knot]

Ima go with a Force Sword

[severe folio]

its a devil claw

[plucky flax]

Imb4 ots a knife

[burnt island]

Sweet jeebus, I thought only zealots were allowed to carry something equivalent to a claymore in length.

[severe folio]

damn that look fire

[plucky flax]

They can port a 2h sword for zealot using the grail knight sword.

[fluid knot]

Oh fairy muff, good shit, Catachan Swords are absolute S tier atm

[burnt island]

The best blaze sword is a mk iv, right?

[plucky flax]

I like the illisi the best.

[severe folio]

what blaze sword

you mean force sword ?

2 options

deimos or illisi

[fluid knot]

Next few patches look like they might be interesting if some of the stuff from the mod is making its way into the game

We can extrapolate at least that a double barrel is getting put in at somepoint

Doubt they'd make a whole new animation just for a skin

[burnt island]

Sorry yeah. Meant force swords

Thinking of spending some dockets on brunt's

[fluid knot]

Deimos is similar to duelling sword, but Illisi has the most relevant activation element

The charged attack on Deimos locks you in place for a second which is kinda dangerous

Not that you need to use it, but ye

[burnt island]

So like a chainsword

[crystal oxide]

whew, Force swords hard counter ragers if they are not in their combos yet

[fluid knot]

Kinda.. 'cept you still get giga-high poke damage out of Heavy 2 in the attack chain, so it replaces the need to use special

[crystal oxide]

One special then heavy boop, ded

[burnt island]

So what's the obscurus?

The 'bad' one?

[fluid knot]

Its not as competative as the other two no

[burnt island]

Fair. I need one for trash mob clear mainly.

[fluid knot]

It also locks you in place with the special an is kinda a half and half single target/horde clear moveset. Kinda feels like its having an identity crisis lol

[crystal oxide]

I love the poke combo with the mkIV

One tapping trash mobs reliably

[fluid knot]

buy both an Illisi an Deimos, go to the Psykhanium an see which you prefer

[potent echo]

force sword push also got a stealth range buff

its 8m now

[fluid knot]

Buy an Obscurus too if you wanna try it

[severe folio]

the obcurus is the prototype deimos

the deimos is what the obscurus wanted to be

[potent echo]

obscurus could have kept unlimited dodges

[severe folio]

unlimited peril

[potent echo]

then maybe it would have some niche use

[severe folio]

just turn the obscurus from a sword to a shield

obscurus force shield

[frail sand]

is fire illisi any good

[severe folio]

meme

[frail sand]

i just want a blazing spirit sword to work

[severe folio]

you will haveto work quite hard for that

[burnt island]

Illisi be reminding me of a power sword.

I'll take it

[frail sand]

[severe folio]

the codex does entail a bit about the fire swords

[near wyvern]

If by work you mean pretty visuals, you got it. If by work you mean meaningful damage, this patch ain't it.
