psyker-class

[supple skiff]

blessed be the smite users

they do what I cannot for the benefit of all

[woeful patio]

Smite users are worshipped as saints

[ornate hamlet]

EP and the push ability?

[hasty pier]

I will say that Smite combined with another psyker using Blaze Trauma is fucking hilarious

[woeful patio]

Assail users bathe in squalor

[fluid aspen]

When are we getting back old Warp Charges giving a stack on BB kill (or target death before charge finished) so I can do that stupid penance

[eager mantle]

I bounce between smite and assail mostly. Gunpsyker is just for my variety

[ornate hamlet]

Specialists?

[hasty pier]

I got the BB penance from just leveling to 30?

[eager mantle]

Which one?

[digital narwhal]

Tfw the Smite user pushes some Poxies off of a downed player and is worshiped as a Saint, and then the Assail user saves the clueless Zealot from getting vibe checked by 6 Shotgunners but is labelled as a toxic kill stealer

[fluid aspen]

Granted I haven't tried doing this again in Auric with 24/7 elites+specialists

[robust grove]

So how bad is surge now?

[eager mantle]

EP BB is nice. But I feel like I need EP BB while Assail and smite do their jobs without EP to my satisfaction

[woeful patio]

Assail users when they die from peril for the 10th time in a match because it taught them bad habits🥺

[eager mantle]

Ah, I got that a while ago

[unborn flicker]

Smite is goated

[woeful patio]

Maybe I’m just bias but 90% of the assail users I see are less “dexterous” than our other siblings

[unborn flicker]

Idk why people sleep on it

[coarse bane]

Lmao yup, watched one do it twice in the first room.

[woeful patio]

Both in skill and positioning

[fluid aspen]

Makes me think I might have to change to Warp Siphon on my Assail build and get better shield uptime instead of buffing 1 shard every now and then

[ornate hamlet]

No peril cost and being able to clear a room of elites with BB is something that can trump assail, bar none

[unborn flicker]

I run smite and bubble and nothing can touch me

[eager mantle]

Me being lvl 30 trying out assail for the first time bursting in the first 20 secs in the map

[woeful patio]

KING 👑

[woeful patio]

I’ve done this too

Never touched it again

Refuse to do so on principle

[fluid aspen]

I got it on the GamePass version shortly after release, but my save didn't transfer to Steam

[hasty pier]

Also me when I forget I vented at low WC and decided to ride the lightning before my CD came up

[coarse bane]

Smite + dome is one of the only loadouts thar can reliably recover some big fuck ups.

[pine shore]

Would you say surge staff sucks? After they fixed it, it's damage is sooooo low, how do you even use it

[unborn flicker]

I’m using it to vibe check the hoard of 10 maulers

[woeful patio]

When big E returns the assail users will be cast out

[eager mantle]

Still think EP Assail is nice since it is fire and forget and then you have downtime for the charges

[woeful patio]

No succor

[unborn flicker]

It’s good against hoards

[pine shore]

125% was way too much damage for it to be added for real, but still

[fluid aspen]

The only reason I don't run Smite anymore is that I can't clutch with it because it doesn't do enough damage

[digital narwhal]

I guess I'm built different then.
I haven't blown up with Assail since Patch 13 dropped

[coarse bane]

It still stuns things and does good damage.

[pine shore]

What the fuck?

[ornate hamlet]

Can still one shot with surge staff post bug fix 😎

[digital narwhal]

No

[pine shore]

What are you smoking?

[digital narwhal]

No it is not

[eager mantle]

Me using surge staff with warp charges

[unborn flicker]

Headshots baby

I smoke fat groups with void

[digital narwhal]

Are

[pine shore]

Headshots with surge staff

[digital narwhal]

are you

talking about the M1?

[pine shore]

You are just stupid

[unborn flicker]

Voidstrike

[rose dagger]

It never has been really

Throughout all the game versions

[fluid aspen]

Yeah true, just think basically permanent bubble might be worth more than 1shotting fodder even harder

[coarse bane]

I think they mean charged void staff.

[hasty pier]

I realized at some point that trauma RMB can like two shot maulers at the epicenter and one shot if they took enough soul blaze tics.

I remember landing a juicy RMB and just saw like 6 maulers pop up in the kill feed

[digital narwhal]

We were talking about Surge Staff

[unborn flicker]

Surge is garbo against hoards

[digital narwhal]

Ye

[pine shore]

It can't kill anything

[hasty pier]

Imagine if ogryn could be psyker

[unborn flicker]

☠️

[woeful patio]

They can

[pine shore]

Stuns yea, ok, who cares, it hits 2-3 targets with bad damage

[woeful patio]

Very rare though

[fluid aspen]

I hate aiming the Trauma So I just use Voidstrike on everything because it's kinda the same but I can actually hit stuff with it

[digital narwhal]

They'd have Assail, but better.
They'd throw out homing rocks that deal as much damage as their live rocks do.

[rose dagger]

Voidstrike not bad for hordes, may as well use illis for hordes if you brought it tho

[pine shore]

Voidstrike does the same damage if not better than surge rn

[fluid aspen]

Also Voidstrike can hit weakspots and that alone makes it better than all the other staves

[unborn flicker]

I run voidstrike illis and smite

[pine shore]

surge really needs a damage buff, 125% was way too much damage, but it needs any damage

[unborn flicker]

It’s a great combo

[pine shore]

It tickles the enemies

[coarse bane]

I stick with my Deimos

[eager mantle]

Robbed my friend of a "complete mission without player deaths". Was on assassination, we beat the boss, I spammed LMB, blew up on last wound before the screen went to black

[fluid aspen]

Just fire a Voidstrike at head level into a horde and get complimented by your Veteran

[digital narwhal]

I like Columnus + Combat Knife + Assail

[willow hazel]

Voidstrike charges way slower and requires headshots

[digital narwhal]

[rose dagger]

Voidstrike is least boring psyker staff for sure. The auto aim of surge and horde painting of purg make me sleepy

[unborn flicker]

The issue I’ve found as pysker is getting overrun by melee

[woeful patio]

True

[supple skiff]

fr void horde clear is killsteak convo on repeat I love it

[pine shore]

ok, it still kills stuff faster and can control on the same level if not better

[unborn flicker]

So two out of my three weapons need to help me

[hasty pier]

I mean like in game

You have that one psyker going "BY MY INCOMPARABLE MIND"

and then Ogryn with voidstrike staff just brains some dude with the haft before blasting a group to bits and going "HAHA MORE RATIONS FOR ME"

[woeful patio]

Ragers give me nightmares

[willow hazel]

Shouldn't happen

[unborn flicker]

Get out of melee

[rose dagger]

Trauma fun too when the map isn't working against you

[pine shore]

1 shot with voidstrikes drops a crusher on their ass

[orchid shadow]

Considering they made it even worse now, they need more than just any buff.

[woeful patio]

I wish targeting for Trauma worked different

[willow hazel]

Psyker melee is great.

[woeful patio]

Maybe the AOE following reticle or something

[fluid aspen]

And with Surge it's really good against ogryns and monstrosities too

[hollow current]

wtih kinetic deflection you can just block for 30 seconds while your team uses raking fire to get the melee off of you.

[unborn flicker]

Tell that to the teammates that leave my smite victims alive

[pine shore]

So yea, surge just sucks, voidstrike right now is better in every way. With the bug surge at least had insane damage

[supple skiff]

hadron you bitch

[woeful patio]

Flurry? Not Nexus?

[glossy ember]

it's bugged again but in a negative manner

[willow hazel]

just kill them yourself. You have a melee and ranged weapon

[hasty pier]

Power Swords are crutches for melee and I don't care because they're cool

[digital narwhal]

Trolled

[woeful patio]

OOF

[pine shore]

whats bugged

[glossy ember]

you can hit random limbs instead of torso so you do less damage than no ep builds pre patch

[rose dagger]

Gun psyker supremacy has returned. Just as it was before the class overhaul

[eager mantle]

Blocking with peril talent is a godsend

[woeful patio]

Gunkers stay losing

BB gang rise up

[digital narwhal]

NUH UH

[unborn flicker]

I can’t kill the 10 maulers with an illis sword

[eager mantle]

Gunpsykers rise up

[glossy ember]

hence why it feels weak now

EP aside

[unborn flicker]

They’d pound me

[fluid aspen]

Couldn't get a better one yet but I'd use Nexus probably. But Flurry is pretty good as well, 3 shots in you are charging to full as fast as Surge Staff

[willow hazel]

Don't be that one psyker who sits around smiting a mauler + 2 bruissers for 40 seconds

[unborn flicker]

Then hit me with their weapon

[digital narwhal]

My friends hate me because I usually play Gun Psyker

:^)

[woeful patio]

Uncanny tho

[hasty pier]

What you talking about. They gave you blazing III. Eat it and gain its power

[willow hazel]

Just kill 3-4 and the rest die to Uncanny + Perilous Combustion

[tame venture]

so the surge/smite bug is deado, just switch talents from empowered psyonics to warp siphon?

[unborn flicker]

I do what I have to do

[pine shore]

?

[rose dagger]

I've been having fun with laspistol/scriers/BB

[glossy ember]

read again

[hasty pier]

I mean EP still rocks. Just surge staff not so much

[rose dagger]

We need more staffs, I'm bored of these current ones

[supple skiff]

round 2

[digital narwhal]

You should swap Warp Expenditure for Quietude and then find a way to grab Mettle

[willow hazel]

It can hit limbs, which usually take 50% damage.

[woeful patio]

Get rid of enfeeble on smite

[fluid aspen]

Not even 380 smh

[woeful patio]

Not worth the point imo

[digital narwhal]

Ah yeah, swap Enfeeble for Mettle

[woeful patio]

^

[unborn flicker]

Really? 10% dmg seems worth

[digital narwhal]

It's not worth

[pine shore]

so it's damage is already shit and now its sometimes 50% less? Yea, this staff is completely dead

[woeful patio]

It’s not 😦

[supple skiff]

warp resist is for the weak

[eager mantle]

Need a better laspistol for my gunpsyker. Revolver doing its job right now but I wanna spam assail, spam laspistol, back to spam assail

[glossy ember]

often*

[digital narwhal]

Warp Expenditure to Quietude and Enfeeble to Mettle

[unborn flicker]

😦 but mah team play

[woeful patio]

Filthy Gunkers

[digital narwhal]

Just kill things 4head

[tame venture]

why is quiet better than expend?

[pine shore]

doesnt even matter. Even without the bug surge sucks ass

[glossy ember]

4 limbs lul

[woeful patio]

Smite is already teamplay

[hollow current]

haha get btfo empowered surge nerds. but they probably shouldn't have made it target limbs.

[woeful patio]

10% is NOTHING

[glossy ember]

it was fine without

[willow hazel]

The base damage is fine, but the limb targetting bricks it. Without the limb targetting it would be in a strong spot

[supple skiff]

yeah that didnt turn out either

[woeful patio]

ZealotGang bait

[eager mantle]

The game is growing and there will be more of us. We shall speak the good word of returning to Las and lead

[unborn flicker]

Fuck guns bro

[digital narwhal]

Because you generate Peril slower than you Quell it, which means that Quietude with it's higher Toughness %age per 10% Peril is going to generate you more Toughness than Warp Expenditure in the long run, and at a faster rate.

[tame venture]

and well, this is my surge staff build so smite covers it's weakness of hoards, right?

[unborn flicker]

I want to be a space wizard

[woeful patio]

You are PRIMITIVE the WARP is the future

[unborn flicker]

With an edgy streak

[woeful patio]

Your veterans hate you
Your ogryns hate you
Your zealots hate you

[hasty pier]

You can use smite with other things too

[woeful patio]

You can have infinite ammo and you choose not to

Foul

[hasty pier]

Or am I misunderstanding things?

[eager mantle]

In the time it took you to BB a mauler I shot 2 dead

[tame venture]

this is my surge staff slot

[unborn flicker]

Brain burst is ass for what it is

[tame venture]

i use smite too because they specalize in two polar opposite things

[hasty pier]

Then yeah, EP smite will still cover surges weakness

[unborn flicker]

If you are going to focus all your attention on one enemy

[supple skiff]

stand and fight

[unborn flicker]

It should always die

Not this two or even three shot thing

[eager mantle]

👁👄👁 thanks brunt very cool of you

[hasty pier]

EP still gives bonus damage and chaining to smite right? Thats literally what the ability states that it does?

[digital narwhal]

Yes

[steel flame]

i love when vets can clearly see you are out of ammo, and despite having scavenger, still suck up all the ammo from under you when they are at almost full

[hasty pier]

Then yeah the patch just makes EP surge interaction gone.

[supple skiff]

I got 20k plasteel im going for it lol

[eager mantle]

You can be...a space wizard with a gun

[hasty pier]

If you're still set on using surge, then EP smite is still good to cover its weakness

You just don't get double synergy from it

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-guns-gif-18771749

[shadow quail]

I'd rather run smite with void for the free trueaim crits

[unborn flicker]

I want to a glass cannon with mystical powers not a twink veteran

[glossy ember]

gonna try and see if i can get a voidstrike with nexus and surge blessings

[stuck bridge]

ye

[glossy ember]

to replace my surge staff until fix

[supple skiff]

holy fuck these rolls are brutal

everything is getting bricked

[eager mantle]

But the veteran can't block a chaos spawn with peril almost indefinitely

[unborn flicker]

Darktide was a Gotcha game all along

[orchid shadow]

Given that it took them this long to fix the EP surge bug, that'll take a while. 😦

[unborn flicker]

Neither can I 👻

[fluid aspen]

Can't change to Warp Siphon on my assail build, not enough points

[glossy ember]

yeah hence why i'm switching

[fluid aspen]

Is Disrupt Destiny still ?

[eager mantle]

Excellent. I already play 5 gachas and darktide has been taking my time away from them

[glossy ember]

will give unarmoured flak on my current staff a go first

[woeful patio]

And that ammo is lost. It will never return

[atomic plover]

meme not trash

[eager mantle]

Peril block talent is goated

[unborn flicker]

I use it

I can block 4 blows

[fluid aspen]

EP it is then

[upbeat parcel]

I love disrupt destiny the movement speed is goated

[stuck bridge]

vet already a space wizard with guns. they got grenades that magically regen, doesnt consume ammo on crits, yells so loud they stagger enemies...

[eager mantle]

We got a roughneck in the squad

[unborn flicker]

Then it’s ass whooping time

[woeful patio]

It’s called Kinetic Deflection 🤓

[stuck bridge]

and can see through walls

[unborn flicker]

I use deflector too

[upbeat parcel]

btw which dueling sword version do you guys like more

[wet belfry]

Going to be real sad when i have to redesign weapons for the new breakpoints

[unborn flicker]

Doesn’t matter those auric maelstrom flesh bags dgaf

They opening a can

[tame venture]

so, how exactly was the malleus monstrum pennace changed to be possible to do?

[eager mantle]

But they don't have crystal bees that auto lock on heretics

[atomic plover]

mark 5 duel looks best, 4 is strongest

[unborn flicker]

Not even that good anymore

We are slowly getting pushed back to monke

[eager mantle]

Whatever the red handle one is. I like the stab heavy attack. 1 shotting mutants in the face while they are charging is satisfying

[fluid aspen]

Does Deflector also block ranged shots while reviving?

[tame venture]

"i can't solo a whole horde anymore, it's ruined!"

[stuck bridge]

krak grenades basically are single target bees that explode because they magically magnetize

[upbeat parcel]

that's the 4 one, I'm thinking 5 also can do that

[eager mantle]

Shit you're right

[crystal oxide]

I was having a lot of fun still using assail

[unborn flicker]

When all it takes is three members of that hoard to send you back in a body bag

Yeah

[tame venture]

"the fragile, caster class is fragile"

yeah, and?

skill issue :^)

[woeful patio]

Get 3 friends. One of which Ogryn with shield. Run malice missions until you find sexy green lady

Profit

[crystal oxide]

It still really helps you on a flank where you need to kill or soften up enemies before you stab or shoot them

[fluid aspen]

"Fragile" you mean getting Toughness for literally anything you do, and blocking with your ammo?

[eager mantle]

Assail is still doing its job. I throw all the charges out, have peril built up, swap to gun or sword, take out the tougher enemies. 4 heavy attacks killing a crusher is satisfying

[fluid aspen]

I can facetank daemonhosts on Damnation with Psyker

[unborn flicker]

There’s no cannon to our glass cannon anymore

[crystal oxide]

Also aren't we amongst the tankier classes with how many talents we have for toughness regen?

[upbeat parcel]

psyker can survive but they're still built like paper

[fierce crest]

yeah we're not glass

[woeful patio]

Not enough

[fluid aspen]

Sure there is, it's called Voidstrike staff

[tame venture]

an issue of skil

[dusk rose]

no smite bufffs

[fierce crest]

guh

smite is great

[woeful patio]

Guh

[crystal oxide]

I cast Revolver

[unborn flicker]

An issue of backshots

Two tapping

[upbeat parcel]

I still want warp chargers being consumed on ability usage to be a optional node

[woeful patio]

We don’t even have a testicular torsion blitz Psyker is RUINED

[shadow quail]

It hits weakpoints now, which gives trueaim stacks, helps with voidstaff i guess

[upbeat parcel]

feels so bad to lose 36% damage bonus whenever I want to drop a shield

[unborn flicker]

While it take a triple bb to kill one unyielding

[fluid aspen]

Is it a chance or does Smite just count as weakpoint hit now?

[woeful patio]

You lose 36% damage but gain 3 friends

Worthwhile trade

[woeful patio]

Smite randomly targets body parts

[unborn flicker]

December update

[shadow quail]

It's a chance but casting it into a horde will almost instantly give you a full stack for a free crit on your void

[fluid aspen]

I see. Thanks

[woeful patio]

Is bug

Must be SQUASHED

[fluid aspen]

Isn't that basically BR (Ball Rupture)?

[glossy ember]

monkey paw curl: it replaces the 4% damage middle node

[woeful patio]

Ball Burst

Followed by Clitoral Combustion

[unborn flicker]

Dick twist

[sinful peak]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a9ce978-7a16-4f53-8ca1-ae87acfca156/ds-2 any talents I should change?

[fading iris]

https://tenor.com/view/dick-twist-gif-20719632

[tame venture]

testicular torsion casters think they're hot shit until someone casts MEND BUTTCRACK

[snow coral]

Reading the patch notes, I'm not surprised there were out of bounds exploits but I don't think I've ever seen any of them used

[woeful patio]

Following a builde makes you lesser

[upbeat parcel]

[woeful patio]

Throw random shit until it sticks

[upbeat parcel]

seeing how vets got fucked maybe I shouldn't ask for any skill tree changes

[fluid aspen]

I can hear this gif

[fierce crest]

Try and get true aim for Voidstrike

[sinful peak]

that's mine I just put it on the site to share it easily

[fading iris]

there is a version with captions, but this one is better

[fierce crest]

this is their build tho

[dusk rose]

anyone hvae a good smite build?

[fierce crest]

yeah take smite

and uhh'

[woeful patio]

Stinky

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-jedi-magic-star-wars-harry-potter-gif-15255071

[fierce crest]

the upgrades

then smite things

[eager mantle]

Blocking with peril is a good talent for when you are surrounded. Or you swap those health trinkets with stamina

[woeful patio]

NOT ENFEEBLE

YOU ARE LEADING THE FLOCK ASTRAY

🥺

[unborn flicker]

Enfeeble these

[upbeat parcel]

so what do you guys use for assail now? psionics assail might be my go to now

[unborn flicker]

Don’t use assail

It’s for weenies

[eager mantle]

I saw a video finishing a run in 5 min with the out of bounds stuff

[unborn flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/superweeniehutjr-weenie-spongebob-lameo-gif-5160846

[upbeat parcel]

I'll stop using assail when BB is no longer the worst blitz

[fierce crest]

it enhances the thing smite is good for

[woeful patio]

Excuse me?

Thems fighting words

[sinful peak]

what should I remove to slot it in

[eager mantle]

Use assail if you think it's fun 😉 no judgement. Every psyker is a good sparky

[unborn flicker]

It’s the worst blitz

[woeful patio]

Incorrect + L + Gluten Allergy + Not Emperors Chosen

[unborn flicker]

It’s utility and usability are limited compared to the other two

[upbeat parcel]

BB rn feels very rough with plasma gun vets around essentially using a better BB

[woeful patio]

Smite is CC and 10% damage doesn’t affect it

[coarse bane]

BB is the worst blitz.

[eager mantle]

It's does the job it's set to do. Stop overreacting thinking it's the worst

[fading iris]

And something that I realized after sending this gif: "Psyker preparing to use Brain Rupture / Smite"

[fluid aspen]

BB is the worst blitz only because the other 2 are really good at what they do

[upbeat parcel]

it does it's job but there's stuff u can use that fulfill BBs jobs better imo

voidstrike crit will kill a crusher way faster than BB

[unborn flicker]

This but everyone is too sensitive

[fluid aspen]

BB needs to cast faster because you rarely have the time to use it in higher difficulties

[woeful patio]

I agree with this

[eager mantle]

I love BB. However in the time it took you to cast it once the assail psyker cleared the room and possibly the enemy you were charging it on

[jolly cedar]

Other than the bug fix how has surge been nerfed

[unborn flicker]

Bb needs buff

[upbeat parcel]

psionics BB solves cast speed a little but no warp charges feels rough

[unborn flicker]

Group targeting

[woeful patio]

With the amount of specials in Auric Damnation, BB needs a cast speed buff or a peril gen buff or both

[unborn flicker]

Faster casting

More dmg

[coarse bane]

It's too slow. It does too little damage for how long it takes to cast. When Plasma and Bolter exist, BB just sucks.

[unborn flicker]

Something

[woeful patio]

Bro GROUP BB???

Wild

[upbeat parcel]

group bb sounds kinda sick

[tame venture]

i would like to put together a brain burst build for the last few pennances i got, what exactly would i do for it?

[woeful patio]

Gooner Gang

[unborn flicker]

Possible upgrade for it

[woeful patio]

That would be dope

Actually

[fluid aspen]

It's still amazing at taking out priority targets, just not good enough when on Auric Damnation you get rushed by 30 hounds at once

[coarse bane]

Group BB is gonna be kiting a lot.

[unborn flicker]

Bubble bb

[fierce crest]

BB should suck in all nearby enemies like this is fucking Warframe

[unborn flicker]

Brain burst in radius around you

[eager mantle]

My one situation I love BB. Seeing a annoying enemy like a trapper, bomber or sniper across the field and locking in on them. That's the case I will like BB over smite and assail

[fluid aspen]

Letsgo OG Telos Boltace BB when

[woeful patio]

BB because Bulwarks annoying

[coarse bane]

Or any massive pack of dangerous specials/elites. The Plasma just wiped out 10 shotgunners to your 1.

[woeful patio]

Head smash

[unborn flicker]

It’s only time to shine any other situation the others reign

[upbeat parcel]

I also love BB I miss it from pre skill tree patch

but rn it feels rough

[coarse bane]

Again Plasma just wiped out 4 of them to your 1.

[fierce crest]

i was thinking Nidus' Larva

[fluid aspen]

Yep. BB can be cast from cover across the map even if the enemy runs away which is amazing when there are only few priority targets. But when it's hordes of them, it just starts falling short

[woeful patio]

He now has no ammo and I can do it infinitely

I win

[fluid aspen]

Or Vauban 4

[woeful patio]

Limbo 1

🥴

[coarse bane]

He got 4% ammo back from those 4 shots.....

[orchid shadow]

BB should get faster with each consecutive cast. You'll always have an upper limit on #of casts because of peril, but at least it would make it more useable in moment to moment gameplay.

[fierce crest]

oh yeah his 4 does that now

[eager mantle]

Dueling Sword. Reject magic

[woeful patio]

Fake Wizard

[stuck bridge]

good for trauma staff

lol

[upbeat parcel]

dueling sword is also very good against bulwarks and crushers, assuming you have some crits

[fluid aspen]

Limbo 1 pulls now? I subsumed Mag's pull on him for getting enemies into the Cataclysm

[woeful patio]

This could work

[fierce crest]

and voidstrike, and purg

[eager mantle]

I cast assail on the side. I put all my magic learning into throwing crystals.

[woeful patio]

Bro I fucking WISH

glorified bank with how many gems you’re making

You learn magic only to throw rocks

Shameful dispray

[fierce crest]

theyre very pretty rocks

[woeful patio]

Dishonor to family

Small Ogryn

[upbeat parcel]

psionics BB might be the best way to use BB rn imo

but getting those stacks in the first place can be rough

[woeful patio]

I use EP with BB

[fluid aspen]

It is. But it's still not enough

[woeful patio]

Very fun but yeah the stacks are AIDS

[eager mantle]

Gunpsyker should get a node to reload my gun with warp kills because fuck you I want magic to reload my revolver

[outer magnet]

i love it but when playing higher level and bbing a mutant and him living with ep makes me want to fold in half

[fierce crest]

especially after the nerf to speed loader

[fluid aspen]

Either make base stats on BB better, or buff the bonuses EP gives it if you don't want to affect lower difficulties/early levels

[tame venture]

use shredder autopistol on gunker

prove me wrong

[eager mantle]

Revolver goated until I hit reload

[woeful patio]

Even with EP, your EP BB will do 2/3 of the health, your Normal BB will finish the enemy, and then you end with no stacks

[fierce crest]

could give it a portion of % damage

[woeful patio]

Wish EP was more consistent

At least warp charges are always active

[upbeat parcel]

soulblaze also doesn't hold up in auric imo so BB is just fucked

[woeful patio]

Passive basically

[eager mantle]

I think soulblaze only holds up if it's on your trauma staff

[woeful patio]

^

[upbeat parcel]

trauma? for the def reduction?

[woeful patio]

Yeah, the DOT does more with less armor

It’s nuts

Someone posted a video

Lemme grab it

[upbeat parcel]

maybe it's time I finally build a trauma it's the one staff I don't use

[woeful patio]

https://youtu.be/8sj-V9yVPFs

I’ve started using it more, it’s ok

You NEED brittle though oh my god

It’s the only thing it has going for it

Get that shit to T4 ASAP

[upbeat parcel]

I have 80k gold and a dream

[azure bridge]

voidstaff can hit headshots still right?

[upbeat parcel]

yeah

[summer prairie]

fyi that video doesn't even use the rending blessing,

[strong gulch]

What's with surge staff hitting unarmoured on previously flak areas?

[eager mantle]

God I want that 90k auric maelstrom more often

[still hearth]

It hits random locations now

Enjoy

(That means less damage most of the time)

[strong gulch]

Yay. More random. WTF.

[still hearth]

Yeah but

It can now

Weakspot hit

(Sometimes)

If you're lucky

Same with Smite

[azure bridge]

since smite also hits random locations now, do you think a voidstaff smite build will still function good enough for all difficulties or am I gonna need to drop smite

[eager mantle]

Gacha ass dps

[woeful patio]

FatShart made our weapons RNG and now our damage is too

[strong gulch]

I

[woeful patio]

Smh

[sturdy dagger]

ah so thats why i was randomly getting orange dmg numbers

[woeful patio]

When will it end

[strong gulch]

🙃

[heady garnet]

Looks like warp battery didn't get changed, sadge 😦

[woeful patio]

Why would it?

It’s good

[still hearth]

Smite probably matters less but I haven't tested. You could check if it can kill a big group with EP

[glossy ember]

don't worry they can just make a blessing that makes surge staff only hit torso

[strong gulch]

So EP bug needed fixing. Outright nerfing surge tho??

[woeful patio]

Don’t give them ideas

[upbeat parcel]

my only problem with warp battery is losing them on ability usage being mandatory otherwise it's solid

[woeful patio]

6 max charges is lame

I want 7

[glossy ember]

gotta somehow add to that blessing list

[strong gulch]

Maybe this is the aftermath of separating surge from smite.

Let us pray for a surge buff.

[heady garnet]

the penance :sob

I've been hauling ass trying to get it

[woeful patio]

It’s not that hard boo I promise

[sinful peak]

is warp rider a must?

[woeful patio]

I’ve completed 100% of the Psyker penances

You can do it

[fading iris]

Two fixes that ended up getting surge + there is a chance that something in the body part system was changed, last part I'm assuming but without FS saying something is just "hmmmm"

[heady garnet]

Closest I got was 295 seconds, then an assail psyker aggroed a DH so we had to drop everything

[woeful patio]

Stay strong

[heady garnet]

been running histg, getting close

[woeful patio]

Assail Psykers be ruining games fr

[upbeat parcel]

surge is still solid but I think voidstrike is just better

[azure bridge]

do any of the staves have decent boss damage?

[upbeat parcel]

at everything

[woeful patio]

Voidstrike

Aim at noggin

[upbeat parcel]

voidstrike with crit build does pretty good boss damage

[azure bridge]

use fully charged right?

[woeful patio]

Ofc

[fading iris]

Warp Rider was giving 10% with 0 perfil, so that was 10% always which it self was already giving a nice always boost to surge

[heady garnet]

I def enjoyed nomanus but being able to play voidstrike properly is so nice

[strong gulch]

It's HUGE change if there was a system change. Like TELL US.

[upbeat parcel]

surge blessing on voidstrike

is ridiculous

[azure bridge]

i'm like 3 days new to this game so i'm absorbing as much infor as I can lol thanks for being patient with me

[still hearth]

It's entirely possible it wasn't intended to be shipped even and they just forgot to undo it o rsomething.

[idle bay]

Another Design trap from Fatshark on new mission. Those who stand defense at teh button there at the end - are FOOLS

[upbeat parcel]

honestly worry about stuff like that once you're level 30

[strong gulch]

On brand

[fading iris]

Just don't hit 100% peril in the information or you will blow up

[azure bridge]

i'm almost level 30 lol

[upbeat parcel]

buying gear pre level 30 is not wise either they'll be obselete quick

[azure bridge]

i'm like level 27

[strong pilot]

any blessing recommendation for the trauma?

[woeful patio]

Wait until 30 THEN worry about gear

[azure bridge]

for stats and blessings i agree, but i need to plan regardless

no time like the present

[upbeat parcel]

true true

[eager mantle]

We don't claim him

[heady garnet]

I saw a single shard fly across an empty room

[fading iris]

That assail psyker is a fake sibling and must be turned into a battery for the Golden Throne

[remote flower]

thats funny to imagine but, I feel awful for you lol

[upbeat parcel]

try doing soulblaze build and don't press your ability at all

[heady garnet]

the difference between a good and bad assail user is pretty high, a good one is so god tier with target prio and horde clear but a bad one just

[woeful patio]

DaemonHosts are attracted to turquoise as it absorbs negative energy 🤡

[upbeat parcel]

soulblaze best way for warp charges, though it's not the best for damage

[heady garnet]

clink clink clink on crusher

[remote flower]

purge staff has been getting me really close to completing warp battery

[fading iris]

where is the warp grenades for psykers? excluding the one at 100% peril

[heady garnet]

trauma staff lol

[woeful patio]

Devs forgor to get rid of Grenade UI element for Psykers

Also forgot basic QoL

Standard fatshart

[fading iris]

I'm talking about grenades, not staffs, we "need" warp grenades to steal the box from vets and zealots that are behaving bad

[woeful patio]

Make your own grenades LOSER

Voidstrike

[heady garnet]

A TP grenade would be so much fun lol

like an ender eye

[woeful patio]

The warp provides

[heady garnet]

either super clutch or a one way int

[uneven compass]

Only issue I have with trauma is with a max damage rending one I feel like I'm killing carapace elites way too slow. Feels like 3-4 full charge blasts to finally kill them

[plucky flax]

This one is without rending shockwave.

[woeful patio]

This was clarified thank you

[plucky flax]

Oh sorry.

[woeful patio]

It’s k

[plucky flax]

Yeah that guy is pretty good I want to be like him.

[heady garnet]

Psyker grenades should be a consumable we can slurp up to instantly quell 100% peril

[primal blade]

This true?

[woeful patio]

Bug

Not nerf

Reddit IQ

[primal blade]

Figures was just wondering

[strong gulch]

LOL. What kills a crusher faster now? Knife or surge staff. 🙃

[woeful patio]

Knife 😦

[primal blade]

I wonder what caused it to fuck up

[strong gulch]

pray for crits

[primal blade]

Cuz in my opinion the reason why I bug happened is almost as interesting as the fix

[glossy ember]

uncanny strike knife with bleed op

[plucky flax]

Its just fartshart spaghetti code

[upbeat parcel]

welp, switching back to voidstrike

[primal blade]

Like I wish companies gave code snippets on big bugs

[woeful patio]

I ride or die with surge

My beloved

[primal blade]

Something like

"we accidentally forgot to change this 0 to a 1" causing something to not work

[upbeat parcel]

voidstrike has a blessing called surge gg

[plucky flax]

They killed my handcannon assail but at least they didn't touch my blaze trauma.

[strong gulch]

yip. You can even kill things and not explode.

[primal blade]

Cuz that really do be how it is sometimes

Especially if you got it in a loop

[strong gulch]

100% peril to kill 1 crusher with surge

[fierce crest]

how much for with purg

[eager mantle]

Daemonhosts crystal girls confirmed

[strong gulch]

They got handcannon too ??

[plucky flax]

Aye handcannon no longer buff blitz or melee.

[eager mantle]

Join us in holy lead

[upbeat parcel]

it's so over handcannon bros...

[plucky flax]

Assail cd nerf + handcannon bug fix. My busted build is over.

[tame venture]

wait what happen to revolverer?

[eager mantle]

Haven't played today but will try out my gunpsyker on the new map

[strong gulch]

I mean soulblaze continues to be peepee poopoo on carapace. Lightening THING™️ has been anti-armor.

[broken carbon]

fixed the bug where hand cannon would apply to melee as well

[upbeat parcel]

Was it the CRIT chance blessing on revolver applying to everything?

[primal blade]

I'll probably wait for part 2 ngl

Since mods are gonna take a bit to fully update

[fierce crest]

how much for smite :)

[strong gulch]

No. that was fixed ages ago.

Handcannon is 80% rending on crit.

[azure bridge]

rending is?

[fierce crest]

armor pen

[primal blade]

And darktide at least for me is one of those games where I always have mods

Even if it's something small

[fierce crest]

chat block my beloved

[strong gulch]

I forgot ppl were using smite as damage. LOL

[summer prairie]

oubliette has some new enemy spawn points too it looks like

well at least one

[azure bridge]

can smite even do damage even with EP?

125% is nice, but small number is small number

[fierce crest]

define damage

[summer prairie]

if you are hitting 50 targets for 90 dps it's damage

[azure bridge]

fair

i guess the better answer is which does it better, warp charges or ep

[static needle]

Which blessing should i yoink from this one?

[wanton sandal]

buh...

[upbeat parcel]

smite with soulblaze I remember being a little spicy for horde clear

but that's too much set up just use assail

[wanton sandal]

prolly blazing spirit idk

im a dueling sword main now

[static needle]

wym bruh

[azure bridge]

warp charges seem easier to get, what with the talent that gives 4% chance for basically anyone's kill to generate a stack

[fierce crest]

id just be grabbing higher level blessing until you have all the good ones

[upbeat parcel]

I legit think dueling sword is one of the best melee in the game

and psykers have it

[wanton sandal]

idk, i dont use any of those blessings on my illisi

prolly yoink blazing spirit

and pair it with shred

fire sword

[bright mica]

are pubs extra annoying today or what

[bright mica]

oh yeah I agree

ds4 can do everything adequately, big fan

if deimos didn't have exorcist i wouldn't ever use it over ds4

[upbeat parcel]

pubs have been miserable for a while

[ornate hamlet]

Nooooo, they double nerfed my favourite class, it was so fun to play it... 😟

[upbeat parcel]

I think when the game came to console they got so much worse

[static needle]

terrifying barrage bad on all staffs? including purgatus?

[wanton sandal]

things that have learnt to walk ought to drip, damn the leather psyker jacket is sick

[upbeat parcel]

I'll be honest I never notice terrifying barrage

[bright mica]

can be quite good on surge

[ornate hamlet]

Don't forget reflector

[wanton sandal]

so far my games have been alright tho

[tame venture]

Why suppress enemies when they could be dead?

[bright mica]

lets you focus on special killing ignoring all enemies around you

[static needle]

is terrifying bad on purgatus?

[bright mica]

yes

because m1 does it better

[digital narwhal]

Yes

It’s already got an AOE of Suppression so

[upbeat parcel]

purgatus is very blessing dependant too imo terrifying feels like a waste of a slot

[bright mica]

i would only ever consider it on surge

every other staff is too blessing dependent and has enough CC

[digital narwhal]

Terrifying should only be considered on weapons like Surge and other such “Elite deleters”, yeah

Things that kill with the snap of a finger

[bright mica]

yeah idk if I'd put it on Voidstrike but I can see the appeal

its just too blessing dependent

compared to Surge that honestly isn't that blessing dependent at all

[upbeat parcel]

just tested surge on the meat grinder

it's so over...

[wanton sandal]

is it true that it targets limbs

[bright mica]

Eh me and my buddy tried it on Maelstrom together

it's still usable

I think its more aim dependent rn

[upbeat parcel]

it's a gacha weapon now

use it if ur lucky

[azure bridge]

is smite's enfeeble talent worth the point or should i ignore it for like +15 toughness?

[bright mica]

Is it all RNG or is there any aim involved?

I'd excuse it if the closer you aim your reticle to the target the higher the headshot rate

[upbeat parcel]

I'm not sure, let me test it a little more

[fading iris]

LMB on surge already does aoe supression, even if you miss the target

[wanton sandal]

i'd say it's worth

[bright mica]

thing you replied to the wrong person

[fading iris]

you can legit look like a crazy person and start blasting the floor

[fringe garden]

This is true drip, btw

[azure bridge]

how get?

[strong gulch]

Just took 4 full surge charges to kill a scab flamer.

[fading iris]

right person, wrong message, was this one

[upbeat parcel]

yeah seems like aim doesn't matter

[bright mica]

Thing is Surge doesn't have that many good blessings in the first place

[fading iris]

warp flurry and nexus

[bright mica]

Warp Nexus isn't that crucial on it compared to Purgatus, Trauma, Voidstrike

[upbeat parcel]

6 surges to kill a crusher is so rough

[fading iris]

no but helps, even more now

[bright mica]

Purgatus doubles fire DOT, Trauma warp fire build, Voidstrike surge

[fading iris]

what breaks poor surge legs for non-belivers is the extra humf that the other staffs have

and I'm not even talk about damage

[bright mica]

I do think the body aiming shouldnt be RNG tho

[upbeat parcel]

my voidstrike still 2 - 3 taps crushers and goes through for targets behind so it might truly be joever for surge for now

[plucky flax]

I found my dad's gun.

[tame venture]

i would like to put together a brain burst build for the last few pennances i got, what exactly would i do for it? warp siphon and venting shriek?

[upbeat parcel]

what's your goal with BB? to spam it? warp chargers?

[strong gulch]

Mk 2 and 5 dueling heavies still haven't been buffed like fatshark said they would.

[tame venture]

uh, just be usable enough to get the free swag lol

[upbeat parcel]

honestly left - left or middle - middle

it's how I would use BB

[tame venture]

what's the cutoff for the left-left then?
like if i say had a left-middle build around where does it split?

[tawny raptor]

how affected is psyker by the new update?

[soft notch]

BB without EP feels like poopoo to me

[upbeat parcel]

just saying u can pick between shriek or shield

I like shield cause gunners are spooky

and always go psionics cause otherwise bb feels bad

[hearty oak]

Some say bad. Some say nothing really changed

[soft notch]

having shield makes you feel not useless either

[tawny raptor]

i gave up trying to build my vet 💀

[lethal delta]

I miss shield, I have been spamming shriek to get the penance done but I want to go back

[soft notch]

BB soulblaze with purg staff was my go to for penances

[upbeat parcel]

welcome back sibling

also surge got nerfed

that's about it honestly

[hearty oak]

Scrier gunker is still really strong

Which makes me wonder. If mk 5 colum is good in any classes hands, makes me wonder if the devs are going to "balance it"

[glossy ember]

one of my mods makes the game instantly crash after title screen

no idea which

[soft notch]

iag? it rips

[hearty oak]

Wcm sadly.

[glossy ember]

between this and the surge fuck up

[glossy ember]

ah yeah fair

[hearty oak]

I know. I said it does it well in any classes hands

[lethal delta]

I just came back from almost a year break and the surge staff feel awful

[hearty oak]

even the ogryns

[soft notch]

ah the "if" threw me off 😆

[lethal delta]

Next to the voidstrike, it feels like a handicap

[digital narwhal]

IAGs are super strong, but fairly balanced imo

[strong gulch]

I liked no eyebrows.

[hearty oak]

super strong but fairly balanced

[glossy ember]

no eyebrow yeah sure fine why not

no hair

[strong gulch]

You missed the surge EP bug.

[strong gulch]

Gotta maintain a good seal.

[hoary charm]

Smite EP was better

[strong gulch]

ok

[hoary charm]

Funny limitless lighting

[lethal delta]

I heard about it and intentionally stayed away from it because it was so annoying to play with

[upbeat parcel]

limitless smite was fun but I don't mind that it's gone

[hoary charm]

Its one of those “im glad it happened” bugs

[digital narwhal]

Columnus has the highest DPS and best synergy with crit builds, but it's super ammo intensive and loses a lot of damage at range along with being a bit more difficult to handle than the other two.
Graia is the easiest to handle by far and has about the same DPS as the Agripinaa, but doesn't quite have the range of the Agri.
Agri has the best damage at range and has the best zoom iirc, but it's slow firerate makes it less synergistic with crit builds as the other two.

They're all strong in their own right, but they're not too strong.

[strong gulch]

Don't have to stay away anymore tho.

[unborn flicker]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/0uCuCAdgCJ

[plucky flax]

The mission ready inspect option is hurting my soul.

These guys and their weapons man. 😦

[digital narwhal]

What are they running?

[lethal delta]

Yeah but the surge staff doesn't have enough cc

[plucky flax]

Man running a purple voidstrike without changing anything.

He can run and gun I guess.

[hearty oak]

Think the ammo hunger is steeply offset by survivalist working with it. obviously not the definitive answer to it but helps majorly

[digital narwhal]

Well that's just Survivalist being dumb

[hearty oak]

How so

[digital narwhal]

It completely offsets weapon weaknesses

and inflates their total damage across a mission with weapons that rely on ammo shortages as a weakness

such as Revolver, Plasma, and the likes

[strong gulch]

I might actually consider surge LMB build for real now.

[hearty oak]

So that's why I'm saying I wonder if it's in ball park range of getting hit with a nerf bat

[glossy ember]

just play voidstrike at this point

same lmb no?

[digital narwhal]

If anything, Survivalist should be removed

We shouldn't nerf weapons based on Survivalist existing

[strong gulch]

But I don't like it.

[primal blade]

did they fix the eyebrows but break the hair now ?

[limber tartan]

Is this about surge getting that fix which nerfed it

[strong gulch]

Rebroke hair.

[hearty oak]

Or just change the way it works. Give people around you a fixed amount half to what you get from picking it up

[primal blade]

good thing i don't use those helmets xp

[strong gulch]

yee

[primal blade]

who needs hair or eyebrows when you are letting the emperor guide you

[digital narwhal]

Survivalist should be changed to old Demolition Team

imo

Sure it'd still be strong, but it wouldn't affect weapon balancing

Either that, or give them an Aura that increases weak spot damage by 10%

[limber tartan]

Survivalist just outshines all other current auras that vet can get

[digital narwhal]

oop

I spoke in the wrong chat

:^)

There's an ongoing convo about Survivalist in Oggy chat

[limber tartan]

It would be be better to just get the other 2 up to pair

[hearty oak]

That could just replace one of the other garbage auras vet has

[glossy ember]

Yeah that's gotta be the saddest crit in history, what the hell.

[digital narwhal]

Survivalist is still extremely game warping

I mean

look at Revolver

[primal blade]

the psychic bunch welcomes deliberation with open arms xp i think most psykers if not all have talked more about other classes than their own especially on release

[digital narwhal]

it's key weakness is ammo

but Survivalist ignores that

[limber tartan]

Yea it allows you to shoot more

I see no issue with that

The issue is that it is the only realistic choice of aura for vet

[digital narwhal]

The issue is that some weapons can actually have near infinite uptime thanks to it.

It makes the game so easy if you have a Survivalist Vet feeding ammo to everyone.

[shadow quail]

nerf ogyns

fixed

[digital narwhal]

You don't have to worry about expending resources.

They just regenerate.

:^)

[fading iris]

tell that to my agry revy guy having 5 bullets for a time because the whole team loooooves to take ammo

I had to spam need ammo for the blockheads to realize that my ammo icon was red like Khorne

Watch FatShark nerfing Psyker not needing ammo, can't wait for the update where assail uses ammo

[wanton sandal]

staves now require ammo pickups

[fading iris]

"After today, you can only vent if you have grenade charges"

[limber tartan]

Ay im fine with fully stacked warp rider for the entirety of the game

[sturdy dagger]

they not only took out the only thing making surge good they also somehow nerfed it even further

im in awe

[glossy ember]

very much unintentional with the nerf part but yea

[limber tartan]

That's surge crit ?

[glossy ember]

yes.

rmb

[limber tartan]

Here is a gun

[fringe garden]

Voidstriks is the dopeness anyway. Voidstrike for life.

[glossy ember]

at this point

might as well

i'll just use my voidstrike

no way i'm playing this version of surge

[fringe garden]

Being able to stunlock bosses with it is too good anyway

[glossy ember]

cant give up the VS

anyone have server issues atm?

Been in love with voidstrike from the start

[hearty oak]

all 4 of you go down at the same time. Daemons look at each other.

"This is the part we all laugh at you now"

[glossy ember]

voidstrike charge feels kinda slow to me

[near wyvern]

Trauma with blazing spirit + rending shockwave, using that smite for true aim procs & Warp Siphon up to battery, I mean, it works but it's clunky AF, better of with just normal sprit nexus as trauma is better and more consistent CC and damage at the same time

[sturdy dagger]

it feels so godamm clunky

[round summit]

did they fix surge bug?

[fringe garden]

If you suck, I guess

[sturdy dagger]

what do yall even run on it? nexus/flurry? maybe the double hit on crit blessing

[fringe garden]

surge nexus

[hearty oak]

Yes. Time to use other staffs

[round summit]

what other staffs

[sturdy dagger]

and they also broke surge staff so its worse than it was before the bug teehee

[hearty oak]

The 55-round staff

[sturdy dagger]

flurry is so tempting though this thing is so fucking slow

[desert mirage]

Ooh is this worth grabbing for psyker?

[glossy ember]

i'll be running surge nexus once i get those

[sturdy dagger]

wounds

[strong gulch]

They fixed surge benefitting from smite buffs. You can't get the +1 targets anymore too.

Surge was also nerfed. Not because of the bug fix; because surge RMB hits random parts of an enemy. So the dmage is a lot less and also random af.

[white hemlock]

This has b een my baby for quite awhile now

[sturdy dagger]

[desert mirage]

Oh shit hold on

[sturdy dagger]

bricked

[strong gulch]

Not unless you need something for grim hunting.

[desert mirage]

bricked? i thought unstable power was good

[sturdy dagger]

its okay, executor seems kinda bad 2 me since slaughter exists

melee dmg to specialists is weird

56% dmg>

bin

[desert mirage]

ah yea. fug

damage too low

not worth milk mats especially

going for this fun surge staff build currently

uh

whos gonna tell em

[brave fiber]

Lmao

[desert mirage]

was doing fine for me earlier today

unless it JUST got fixed

[brave fiber]

yessir

[desert mirage]

NO NO NO

PSYKER BROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

[sturdy dagger]

it got fixed AND surge got a new bug absolutely butchering its already bad damage

[strong gulch]

Not completely brick. Unstable is better on illisi than deimos imo. Bewteen the lower damage on only T3s, I don't think it's work your melk money unless it's a massive upgrade to you.

[desert mirage]

FFFFFFFFF

[sturdy dagger]

total brick by milk mat standards

[desert mirage]

brb perils of the warping myself next to Hadron

[brave fiber]

I’d say the contrary, the bug actually put me off of using surge smite ep (which was my fav before the bug)

[desert mirage]

now I need to find another strong build

[limber tartan]

I never even liked surge

[strong gulch]

100%

[desert mirage]

before I was doing a purgatus assail build

[strong gulch]

When you walk up to hadron and completely forget why tf you went over there.

[primal radish]

What did they add to revolver, can you save reloads now so you don't stay from the beginning animation?

[fading iris]

Don't worry siblings, voidstrike is next

[desert mirage]

someone drop a fun psyker build and ill just go for that

as long as it uses Deimos IV

[sturdy dagger]

wh-

why

[plucky flax]

As expected this guy sucked real bad.

[desert mirage]

fun

[limber tartan]

Both purgator and assail do literally the same thing

[spice oar]

I can see it

[hearty oak]

Gunker and casts bullets with a chance of BB auto casting

[limber tartan]

Except purgator does it better

i just spent 400k duckets and didnt get a single voidstrike staff above 360

For anyone struggling with the new map, bubble helps A LOT

[hearty oak]

Bubble helps anywhere, what's your point?

[upbeat parcel]

my team got shredded by snipers and gunners at the roof part

[bright mica]

What Ollie said

[upbeat parcel]

I had bubble even

it's so rough

[desert mirage]

Bro Im mad that the build i was going for got patched, its not fair

[limber tartan]

Just don't die

[bright mica]

Bubble helps sm on the Roof part, plus there's a lot of areas with many ranged enemies with little to no cover

First time I did it without bubble it was hellish, tried with bubble and it went way smoother, no downs

Smite* helped a lot too ofc

[desert mirage]

its over psyker bros

[sturdy dagger]

dw we have our

[bright mica]

Not rlly, Surge got an undeserved nerf thats abt it for anything major

[desert mirage]

but they patched the bug

so its nowhere near as potent

[sturdy dagger]

nerfed assail, nerfed voidstrike, nerfed surge, our.. guns? for some reason

[fading iris]

the 1s on assail is nothingburger, just learn the new timming

[upbeat parcel]

assail still does it's job u just gotta switch off it more frequently

[limber tartan]

I always ran gun psyker the only thing that hurt me is that warp rider was slightly nerfed

[sturdy dagger]

im legit running out of fun builds all i got left is purge

[desert mirage]

gunker seems pointless tbh

[limber tartan]

And even that is kind of non existant

[desert mirage]

why play a wizard at all

if you use gun

[limber tartan]

Because then i can use a gun and shoot magic

[fading iris]

if nothing else, 3s on assail combat th trigger happy psykers

[limber tartan]

Duh

[sturdy dagger]

zealot psyker was fun but i used assail in that build and it kinda feels useless now in damnation

takes like 4 shards to kill a gunner lmao kek

and takes longer 2 get them back

[limber tartan]

I did play the new map today first time on auric damnation and first tried it on that build with randoms

[sturdy dagger]

even if its a small nerf i feel like were just catching nerf after nerf

[upbeat parcel]

what do you run with assail?

[fading iris]

the new map is hella fun, btw

[desert mirage]

is gunner resistance a good perk to have for psyker?

like 20% dam res

[limber tartan]

Oh i don't run gunner resistance i just shoot them before they shoot me

[fading iris]

[upbeat parcel]

I run 60% gun resist

cause otherwise you insta die

[gloomy magnet]

snipper highlight moment

[limber tartan]

there are 2 extremes

On all my curios i run stamina regen and sprint efficiency

It helps with the whole not getting hit

[unborn flicker]

Do the fatshark devs actually look at suggestions?

[gloomy magnet]

looked, but not accepted

[frail sand]

the key to final arena section is to not stand where the fking button area is

go to the entrance where u entered

that has a good choke and lots of cover

[limber tartan]

You mean the button that opens the roof ?

[frail sand]

yes

[upbeat parcel]

I run toughness regen, gunner resist and stamina regen

[frail sand]

do not stand there

[upbeat parcel]

yeah I insta died when I was there

[limber tartan]

Oh i first timed it on damnation by sitting there

[upbeat parcel]

shield broke in 2 seconds

so many gunners

[frail sand]

there's like 5 spawn doors, no cover, stairs on either side

[desert mirage]

https://youtu.be/QibVVpAOE-U guessing this is another build using that bug right?

[frail sand]

awful place

[limber tartan]

Granted my teamof randoms was good

[frail sand]

you can hold there, but going to the entrance just makes it 100x easier

don't even need bubble at all

[eternal pike]

I love not being able to use my surge staff :^)

[orchid shadow]

Any Surge build video is going to be outdated and won't be representative of the current Surge, especially after the bug fix and the nerf from Surge hitting limbs now.

[desert mirage]

nooo

[near wyvern]

Smite average DPS per target is 40 now xD

[blissful glade]

50% Assail cooldown nerf. Are we still eating good Psyker mains?

[desert mirage]

thats kinda taken the wind out of my sails for psyker, damn man

[eternal pike]

The ryken build was going down warp anyways it didn't abuse ep bug

Most builds on youtube never touched ep bug

[near wyvern]

yeah I just wish LMB would generate more peril now

[gleaming plover]

Anyone have advice for a new player using the purge staff? It looks fun but I'm worried my damage will suffer into beefier targets.

[frail sand]

im glad i didnt rely on assail or bugged surge before this patch

[near wyvern]

they removed the flat +10% from warp rider so it's all +20% by peril scaling now so hard to keep that up with so few shards

[limber tartan]

I always used a gun

[harsh urchin]

Recommend you test the weapon inside the meat grinder first to see how it does against different enemy types

[frail sand]

so psyker feels identical to me

[desert mirage]

so the Ryken build I posted would still be fine?

[eternal pike]

To be fair nonep bug surge was still pretty good

Super braindead and chill to run

[glossy ember]

yea

[frail sand]

i used warp surge only

[eternal pike]

This new limb thing though is nuts

[orchid shadow]

It's still going to feel worse now with Surge hitting limbs.

[eternal pike]

Kills any fun I had

[silk hawk]

Purge can kill anything excluding carapace, for those u can use ds4 or deimos or BB

[eternal pike]

Back to voidstrike we go

Smh

[desert mirage]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a8941e3-ad8e-42e8-8b96-f402ba131261/the-storm-witch I was gonna go for this but with bubble shield instead, otherwise exact same skill point locations

[brave fiber]

work around the weaknesses, take dueling mk4 or Deimos or BB for things purg can’t kill

[fading iris]

I'm glad that I just lost surge smite as opener, since I was playing without the EP bug, I only feel the Warp Runner free 10%

[eternal pike]

Did they mean to do this whole limb thing with surge? Or is it actually just a new bug

[foggy breach]

It might have been supposed to be for smite

And then it affected both

[eternal pike]

It's crazy they would nerf it by this much

[glossy ember]

very much unintended afaik

[foggy breach]

What's Mk4 do that mk5 dont

[limber tartan]

Damn i really need to check the current surge staff becaues people act like the whole world has been set on fire

[static needle]

what is commodore's vestures?

[near wyvern]

it's a journey all right

[glossy ember]

well the ttk being cut in half on the weakest elite feels like balls

[silk hawk]

What is wrong with surge now? Someone inform me pls

[eternal pike]

Enjoy the tilt in meatgrinder

[foggy breach]

Hallowette

[static needle]

who?

[brave fiber]

It has only thrust heavies, very good for hitting weak spots and dealing a lot of dmg

[near wyvern]

they changed smite and surge to target a random body part instead of always body

[rare bridge]

the premium shop

[near wyvern]

so if that last hit crits and lands on a leg it deals less damage than a normal hit on a body

[limber tartan]

I don't use surge i just didn't like it soo i didn't use it

[foggy breach]

Now hits random body parts instead of always the torso, meaning that it has a high chance of hitting a limb and doing reduced ranged damage (since arms and legs take less ranged damage)

[static needle]

microtransaction?

[foggy breach]

Yes

[silk hawk]

How much less dmg is that?

[fading iris]

There is a chance that yeah, the limb was just a smite thing, but like the other bug, ended up getting on surge RMB too

[sturdy dagger]

is that up or down? i never payed attention 2 its dmg

[humble pewter]

So, how bad did Psyker get hit

[foggy breach]

You can occasionally hit a weak point instead and do bonus damage but most of the time it's gonna be a limb since there's 4 limbs, 1 torso, and 1 head

[fading iris]

because search thing on the site sucks because is blocking the browser one, I don't think there is talking about that for surge staff

[foggy breach]

Most limbs take like half damage from ranged attacks
