psyker-class

[uneven compass]

how much damage is that blazing adding? I ran outta plasteel just now tryna get it

[lethal lagoon]

At 30? Practice on 3s until you don't get dogged or trapped and then do normal t5s

Don't worry, most of us don't mind "drags" as long as they aren't queueing for auric maels lmao

[bleak tulip]

probably 1/4 or 1/3 of your damage can be blaze depending

its a lot

[wheat quartz]

a lot, but I'm using it as a soulblaze applicator rather than direct damage

[burnt mulch]

my friends and i do 4s and they're nicely challenging for us (we wipe on 5s)

[lethal lagoon]

Oh, you aren't pubbing?

[wheat quartz]

because the soulblaze on crit hits the entire radius equally

[lethal lagoon]

Then do normal t5s, try some low ints

[burnt mulch]

i'm gonna do some pubbing in a bit

[uneven compass]

damn, if i could roll a blazing id have a near perfect rolled trauma staff to apply it to but getting plasteel is rough

[burnt mulch]

my friends are mostly EU so they're asleep xD

[lethal lagoon]

t5 low ints aren't bad.

You can run t3s untill you see one

but t4 pubs are brutal, don't do those lmao

[bleak tulip]

I should be asleep

[wheat quartz]

pub auric damnation is alright

[static needle]

best blessings on Purge staff for hordes?

[wheat quartz]

generally win more than lose

[cerulean lily]

@static needle didn’t see anything come through

[static needle]

what

well i sent everything

and added u

[cerulean lily]

Didn’t see any dm

[burnt mulch]

i'll try a 2 i think, thanks

[cerulean lily]

Dang

[uneven compass]

ya auric damnation tends to have some decent players who stick together. Def feels the best to play once youre at that level of skill to carry your own weight there

[static needle]

ill post here

[potent echo]

Nexus flurry on purg, all day everyday

[lethal lagoon]

Do not do a 2 you'll be so bored, at least do 3.

[wheat quartz]

because crits apply 2 stacks of soulblaze

nexus flurry is the best purgatus

[burnt mulch]

my sibling of the imperium, i dont think you understand how bad i am 😂

[lethal lagoon]

Run assail, no ones that bad 😆

[burnt mulch]

LOL

didn't it just get nerfed?

[static needle]

Surge blessing is fuggin:

[lethal lagoon]

Barely

[static needle]

@cerulean lily

[cerulean lily]

Thanks a ton

[static needle]

np

[potent echo]

Surge is so unusable this patch don't do it to yourself

[long wharf]

not right now it isn't

[lethal lagoon]

He meant surge blessing I assume

[static needle]

what

wym

heresy

[uneven compass]

2 is like omega easy unless youre very new to the game, 3 is imo gives you the best feel for how the game actually plays in terms of density and stuff, from there it just gets better and better

[static needle]

stahp it

surge is amazing

[lethal lagoon]

They broke surge staff again lmao

[static needle]

bro i mean surge blessing

blud

[potent echo]

Oh voidstrike is fine then

But I rather take flurry / transfer anyday

[long wharf]

yep, nevermind, surge blessing is still meta for void damage

[uneven compass]

whats surge blessing do?

2 shots of what

[static needle]

transfer is cringe, so situational

[static needle]

any critical strike

[potent echo]

Surge is cringe

[static needle]

double crit

[potent echo]

So situational

[cerulean lily]

@static needle how do you like the surge blessing over flurry ?

[bleak tulip]

this is the weirdest take I ever heard

[uneven compass]

so when it crits it just hits twice?

[static needle]

i havent got flurry yet, all i know is surge is amazing

[static needle]

but like when u get rushed my maulers and crushers, u wont have time to pull your melee out and then do some critting

it takes entirely too long

[potent echo]

Problem with surge is that you can't determine when it works, only when you have true aim up, but you don't really get to determine when you get true aim up

[static needle]

surge + nexus is far easier to set up

[keen slate]

This is the gayest vet I've seen

[static needle]

my chances are amazing tho, 33% at best

[bleak tulip]

no but transfer literally isnt situational at all?

[static needle]

yes it is?

u need a horde

[keen slate]

https://tenor.com/view/5446-dancing-dixie-danger-blue-gif-13524701

[potent echo]

Yea 33% of maybe killing the rager, but no crit then he doesn't die

[bleak tulip]

im not talking its better I am just flabbergasted by your weird ass take

[static needle]

or very good aim

[potent echo]

Then you crit when shooting 3 poxwalkers and the other ball goes sailing off

[bleak tulip]

bro just click on their MASSIVE heads with your big fat blue ball

[static needle]

thats why u only charge it to 2/3, u dont need full charge to kill ragert

[bleak tulip]

you dont even have to aim with void like 90% of the time

[potent echo]

Huh

[burnt mulch]

how do you get rank 58?

[bleak tulip]

mod

[burnt mulch]

oh

[potent echo]

Damnation?

[static needle]

yes, cause double crit is that good @potent echo

[burnt mulch]

do you get 28 extra talent points?

[bleak tulip]

just shows your total level nah

no talent points

[burnt mulch]

oh alright

[vagrant frigate]

I think I'ma vet player now

[bleak tulip]

its just a way to tell ohw much someone palyed

[potent echo]

I don't think you can kill rager with 2/3 charge with surge

[keen slate]

The fucking who?

[burnt mulch]

a small part of me regrets not giving my char a silly name

[bleak tulip]

someone didnt look into the lore

[static needle]

the lady in the veeery start of the game

[burnt mulch]

but i'm a lore/RP nerd 😔

[potent echo]

Granny

[static needle]

in the cutscene

[bleak tulip]

she owns the ship

[static needle]

idfk what she do

[bleak tulip]

its literally her ship

[vagrant frigate]

I made a vet build that's even more ADHD than my melee psyker build

[keen slate]

I've seen her only in old ass trailer

[bleak tulip]

thats what she do

[static needle]

persuaded slightly?

[potent echo]

I mean Im pretty sure I have more play time with void, considering I used both builds extensively

You should try flurry transfer first

[static needle]

im sure you do

okidoke

i just dont really like the playstyle of needing to spam before big chunky charge shot

[bleak tulip]

flurry transfer is the comfy build to get you used to the stick

[potent echo]

Also make sure your void has unarmored so you can 1 shot dreg gunner head

[static needle]

say what

im running flak

[static needle]

one shot using what?

[potent echo]

Dreg gunner head is unarmored

[static needle]

low charge or normal spam shot

[potent echo]

1 fully charged ball

[static needle]

wtf

[potent echo]

You line up dreg gunners

Release

[static needle]

who needs a fully charged ball to kill dregs? not me, only need to spam 2/3 charge at high peril

[burnt mulch]

me

[bleak tulip]

you wanna fully charge because you want that shit to murder the whole gunner ball

[potent echo]

When you are at long range and they are behind cover

You hit them and then fall down behind cover

[static needle]

hmmm

maybe so

[bleak tulip]

a lot of the time when you "kill" special with a 60% shot you just knock em over tbh

[potent echo]

Also if you can the jump on a patrol you can wipe most of them out, then PC kicks in

[static needle]

idk man

[bleak tulip]

on damnation you kinda need to charge to like 80+ to kill gunners reliably

[static needle]

i felt like instead of changing blessing to transfer i would rather just change perk to flak dmg

so at least im not missing out on flak dmg

[potent echo]

Flak unarmored

[static needle]

no what

never

ever

waste of perk imo

[wanton sandal]

what's the schtick with blazing trauma? i don't feel like it does anything different than my flurry trauma other than not having rending

[bleak tulip]

I mean that covers like 90% of breeds' heads

I dont run that but its not awful by any means

[royal ibex]

'try the new mission out on damnation, get to final stand, suddenly normandy beach landing levels of gunners'

[static needle]

"breeds"`?

[bleak tulip]

enemies

enemy types

[static needle]

my aim isnt that good

[bleak tulip]

doesnt have to be, void projectile is big

[static needle]

hmmm

ok

[bleak tulip]

you can literally shoot between two dudes and headshot em both lol

fuck around with it in psykh

[proud hinge]

hello! what is the go-to purgatus build? thanks 😄

[violet flax]

just tried the base version of the white flame staff thing, okay this thing shreds and it's not even upgraded lol

[royal ibex]

nexus/flurry, and take your pick. some people like flak unyielding for boss dps, others go maniac instead of unyield

[static needle]

well shit too late now i changed perk to flak and now i cant change to transfer peril

[proud hinge]

thank you! i was actually wondering what the talents should be!

[potent echo]

Flurry nexus is fine too I guess

Oh yea the hottest news off the press

Smite and true aim

[royal ibex]

heres mine

[proud hinge]

sorry ❤️ im looking for talent tree!!

[royal ibex]

oooooh

[potent echo]

I rather go flak maniac

Unyielding you should put on your melee

[royal ibex]

then idfk, whatever soul blaze talents you can get and warp cahrges with 10% chance on soulblaze kills for charges

[royal ibex]

hey i asked a bunch of people here when i got it, and they all said its pretty 'pick whatever you want lmao'

[bleak tulip]

something like this is what I run on purg, you can switch out quietude for more assail bounces if you like

[royal ibex]

flak maniac is a decent all rounder this was just another option i got given

[potent echo]

They don't main purg like me

Thing about soulblaze is it works off whatever weapon you currently have equipped

[static needle]

but like... when there's a bunch of crushers/maulers running toward you in close quarters, will u really have time to be able to set up the surge shot with transfer peril and true aim? @potent echo

[royal ibex]

true that

[potent echo]

So usually for bosses/reapers you would max their burn stacks then which to melee

[royal ibex]

i like this one so im sticking with it

[potent echo]

Apply uncanny

And watch that fire rip through their hp

[potent echo]

Transfer peril just works whenever, you don't need setup

[static needle]

how?

[potent echo]

Flurry makes you shoot faster so it does help

[keen slate]

Mommy

[potent echo]

You hit a head you get some peril quelled

[frank moat]

[potent echo]

Adds up over time

[burnt mulch]

i get peril quelled from very very soft gentle hits on the head

[static needle]

so would u say that my build with surge + nexus is worse than using nexus + flurry? @potent echo

[frank moat]

Can't wait until AdMech reject drops and I can ditch you freaks

[potent echo]

Flurry just gives me more control of how to use the staff

With nexus surge, since it charges so slow I'm incentised to just throw out half charged shots

[onyx sentinel]

Pretty much every staff can better fill a specific role than spamming assail, I would recommend voidstaff and you’ll see how much better it kills specials if you’re remotely good at headshots

[potent echo]

Esp in high pressure situations

[static needle]

true, thats what ive been doing lol

[keen slate]

I just heard the best voice line from loner psyker

"AHA! STAIRS!"

[violet flax]

see, im a big stoner man, and homing ice shards were bae , the orb staff, not my thing so much i prefer the energy pistol at that point lol

[potent echo]

And they have a 33% chance of accomplishing something good

[static needle]

ye but if they do then its amazing

[burnt mulch]

is there a wiki or webpage or anything with the ingame dialogue/chat snippets?

[potent echo]

But also not 33% because you aren't at max nexus all the time

[static needle]

whats the crit bonus for voidstrike staff?

ye true

[bleak tulip]

idk probably the base

[static needle]

which is?

[strong gulch]

@plucky flax The new map felt really good with fire trauma.

[bleak tulip]

7.5

[royal ibex]

new map is pain ont he final stretch lmao. i dont like seeing 10 gunners opposite a massive sightline with barely any cover

[bleak tulip]

go into the funny funnel

[royal ibex]

'still cleared it, did have both vets die though lmao;'

[north cradle]

I thought Purgatus/Brain Burst worked fine for the new map, though I was only playing on vanilla Damnation. Top of the leaderboard for most of the kills and damage taken. The Veteran had me beat for melee Elites

The way the map is constructed definitely lends itself well to fire

[potent echo]

Yea it really rewards charging in and suppressing all the shooters

[uneven compass]

having bubble on that new map auric damnation really felt suuuuuper good

[royal ibex]

my issue was i went laspistol scryers/assail so my range was limited, and when iu went for one gunner i had 2 others firing at me, the crit = dodge ranged saved me a lot

[potent echo]

Finale someone pinged the entrance to the event, we just camped there, so easy

[north cradle]

Telekine Shield on this map sounds like a good idea actually

Lots of enemy sightlines on the start and the end of the map

[severe folio]

how is it broken again

[potent echo]

Yea shield would be very good for the map

[north cradle]

Surge Staff has a chance to target limbs instead of torso, hence dealing reduced damage

[severe folio]

oh

[royal ibex]

shield seems like itd make it a joke

[severe folio]

does that mean surge staff can be used with DD now

[potent echo]

On the flip side, the hottest new build

[royal ibex]

same time i need to mainline that scryers fentynal so

[severe folio]

since it has a chance to target the head

[uneven compass]

surge in my last match felt really, really bad unfortunately. Took me 7....7 full charges to take out an ogryn

[potent echo]

Since smite can also headshot, smite true aim is real

[severe folio]

lets

goooo

scrier finess surge staff here i come

[north cradle]

That's awful

[potent echo]

Smite true aim > blaze trauma/void surge

[severe folio]

wait

how does smite headshot

smite has a chance to target separate limb too ?

[potent echo]

Smite also randomly targets bodyparts

[severe folio]

thats craazy

[potent echo]

Yea and since it hits soany things so many times

You get true aim really fast

[severe folio]

does this actually mean we are actually gonna use DD with this

[uneven compass]

the poor knife zealot i was trying to help that was corned by him i swear i could feel how dissapointed he was in me

[potent echo]

Nothing

You use it with blaze trauma

[static needle]

Is it also better for aggressive playstyles?

[severe folio]

why not DD

[potent echo]

And take blaze/rending

[severe folio]

its gonna buff weakspot damage

NO

I WANT SURGE

[potent echo]

Yea but true aim for trauma sounds so much better

[fading iris]

he gets what he deserves for not using a glorious hammer

[severe folio]

yeah but fundamentally its kinda weird to use both smite and trauma

[potent echo]

Yea you with proper breakpoints knowledge you would know how much charge to kill a certain target

[primal plume]

Purgatus user

Theyre the first to die

[potent echo]

No need to just roll a 33% chance

[primal plume]

nice fart cloud, loser

[severe folio]

did you die with purgatus

[potent echo]

Purgatus is a movement test

[severe folio]

yeah dying with the best staff is kind of embarrassing

[primal plume]

The best

maybe in sedition

[potent echo]

It is though

[bold maple]

your momma

maybe in my bed

[feral seal]

Best staff

[severe folio]

is that the highest difficulty you play

i mean im not omega auric damnation

but i have been consistently damnating with purg

[static needle]

[clear heath]

wow the current maelstrom condition looks fun

nurgles blessing monstrious specials

[feral seal]

Purg feels annoying when constantly being slapped with specials in stuff like shock gauntlet

[primal plume]

"N-NO U!"

[feral seal]

I always just swap to smite

[severe folio]

i still think its a bit odd to have both smite and purg

[north cradle]

Purgatus is what you use in between bursting Specialists' brains

[severe folio]

you have a cc tool but your weapon also cc

[north cradle]

It works out pretty well for me

[severe folio]

your purg is suppose to be the cc and boss tools

or the tool to wittle down specials

[feral seal]

Well smite and assail are the only two obvious choices, and assail got slapped a bit more this patch

[primal plume]

Im actually playing the game

[severe folio]

ok

[north cradle]

I hesitate to refer to DoT as CC, but that could just be my Warframe brain talking. I always thought of CC as ways to slow down the enemy, whereas Purgatus just lights them on fire. Granted, a lot of mob enemies get Suppressed when flames are being shot near them, so I suppose it doubles as CC

[severe folio]

im actually at work

[fading iris]

So much plasteel

[feral seal]

Brain rupture is a meme

[severe folio]

you know im not talking about the dot when im saying purg cc right, im talking about the massive flame torrent blowing out from your hands

[north cradle]

Oh yeah I forgot there's an LMB for Purgatus

[severe folio]

no not the lmb

the rmb

well the lmb has another use

[foggy thorn]

Man, is there a cheese or anything that could let me solo malleus monstronum cuz i have no friends to help me do it now that its priv match only..

[potent echo]

That's like the best part of purg

[feral seal]

I wanna justify trauma and purg but rupture feels so WEAK, it feels much stronger to rely on smite for cc and use surge(rip) or void

[primal plume]

We just started

[keen slate]

Yeaa, pyro psyker is cracked

[potent echo]

Solo 20 maulers easy

[severe folio]

hea still only at the dot step

[primal plume]

Smite and Purge

Brain damaged

[potent echo]

10 ragers run at you, just lmb spam

Better than smite confirmed

[uneven compass]

the only thing i hate about using purg is you cant see shit half the time lol

[severe folio]

your opinion is a bit shortened

[potent echo]

Also purg lmb vs bulwarks

[feral seal]

Smite makes it easier for your team to kill everything by keeping it still and visible instead of rping as a kf2 firebug and stumbling everything

[fading iris]

so much plasteel and then you get one staff... and it's all gone.

[potent echo]

Opens them up immediately if you dont hit the shield

[severe folio]

im pretty sure the lmb dont stagger bulwark or crusher anymore

[potent echo]

What

[orchid shadow]

Jeez, need to chain 4 crits to kill a crusher now with Surge. Those Crusher packs are going to be a nightmare now

[north cradle]

That's okay, you know there used to be something in front of you

[potent echo]

Bulwarks forsure

Crusher no

[severe folio]

what is a kfp2 firebug

[feral seal]

Different game

[potent echo]

Lmb doesn't really blind if that concerns you

[severe folio]

yeah this why i need health bar mod

[upbeat parcel]

for crowd control melee should I go illisi or devil's claw

[primal plume]

IRL Brain Bursted

[potent echo]

And lmb will kill the ragers regardless if the team is there or not, unlike smite

[north cradle]

Firebugs in Killing Floor 2 have a perk at level 20 that let you stagger enemies at point-blank when you use fire-based attacks

[fading iris]

hours before a patch that broke some psyker knees went live, coincidence? I THINK NOT

[feral seal]

In kf2 firebugs stumble enemies with flame weapons which makes it harder for your team to hit headshots and makes the fight more chaotic, which can be annoying

[north cradle]

Also there's another perk that gives enemies a 30% chance to explode when they die by fire

[severe folio]

hope you have medical fee

[severe folio]

i dont think the purg does the same thing here

i mean, enemies def do not stumble but are taken back, stand still

[potent echo]

That's a totally different game though

[feral seal]

It's a different game yeah

Dark tide is meant to be chaotic

[severe folio]

well theyre using a different game for a referance of what happen to flamed enemies

but see here

thats just not what the purg do

[feral seal]

Also purg staff by itself is better than firebug in it's entirety

[analog agate]

New map is awesome. And unoptimized as fuck. Lost at the finale because of the lag snd stutters

[severe folio]

excellent

[bold maple]

kid about to kill us all through cringe with his > usage

[severe folio]

shatfark still have their sense

[severe folio]

about to brain rupture

[feral seal]

Purg just always felt kinda mid to me, but I'm just not the right person for it I guess

[bold maple]

dont you mean >brain rupture

[severe folio]

urgh

[feral seal]

I'm going to RUPTURE

[severe folio]

what kind of demon do you think is waiting for us at the end of peril

[stuck bridge]

bleh im not havin fun this patch

[severe folio]

i hope its slaanesh

[feral seal]

[bold maple]

slaanesh is busy with the elves

rejects too ugly for their taste

[stuck bridge]

map is cool but i wish theyd test their shit before release

[potent echo]

The AI director buff alot

[spice veldt]

is gr8

i like it

[severe folio]

thats def not the essence of slaanesh and def more of the imperium talking

only the imperium have the essence of discrimination

[feral seal]

Final boss will be hadron with all the weapons she bricked that you sold

[severe folio]

that would be not okay

against a heretik

[potent echo]

I haven't tried other maps, only played carnival yesterday

[onyx sentinel]

going through that work to get 3 stacks of soulblaze from trauma is kinda mid

[feral seal]

I'm gonna have to make a decent void staff to replace my really good surge when I get home until it's fixed

[onyx sentinel]

You want to spam trauma to kill things so it procs perilous combustion and wildfire

[potent echo]

I'll need to try it, we only thought of it after I logged off

[feral seal]

Well blaze trauma is good because the burn radius even on uncharged attacks is wide

As long as we have dueling sword, we will all be okay..

[potent echo]

Part2, uncanny nerfed to 5%

[feral seal]

[strong gulch]

Since surge nerf, I do a lot less overkill damage.

[sour bison]

now everything is mid

trauma nerfed, void nerfed, surge nerfed

we are glass cannon without cannon again

[viscid matrix]

Void is still a monster

Can still knock everything on its ass

[near wyvern]

Psylot is still not mid

[sour bison]

so vet coudnt oneshot them because everyone are on their asees

[viscid matrix]

Void can still 1shot everything that’s not a crusher or monstrosity

[near wyvern]

that's assuming crit and surge blessing?

[viscid matrix]

Didn’t see any changes in patch notes so yes

[potent echo]

With assail right?

[near wyvern]

assail and creeping flames yes

I just need to update the combo guides

I found the peril building comb

o

you do 3-4 LMB always when you start and then one RMB to finish it off

if you need to build more you do that combo again

then once you get to high perils

you weave 2 shards between your knife / columnus fire to keep it up

[viscid matrix]

Assail is still powerful, just only use it 70% of the map instead of 100%

[near wyvern]

I never used it 100% the problem with the new update was I used LMB to build peril and you can't do that anymore cause you will run out of shards

LMB is faster than RMB in building peril

[spice veldt]

trauma got nerfed?

[viscid matrix]

Fair, that is what force swords are for now
Charge special repetedly

[sour bison]

with void

[potent echo]

Void nerfed?

[sour bison]

its the same effect for FS code

[near wyvern]

so it's opitmal to use the least amount of RMB when building but still the right amount that you don't run out of shards

[viscid matrix]

Not from what I could see

[spice veldt]

what effect

[sour bison]

was nerfed before

[potent echo]

Lol

[spice veldt]

alright

what got nerfed

[potent echo]

Also by process of elimination

[near wyvern]

I use combat blade

[potent echo]

You know what's the strongest staff

[near wyvern]

gotta get mid-short range and keep moving

all the damage of the build is there

[sour bison]

purg

[potent echo]

Exactly

[spice veldt]

which effect?

they share the special, bolt, and presumably the outer explosion on the RMB

[sour bison]

explosion

[spice veldt]

but I doubt that any nerfs to either of that will impact the trauma

[near wyvern]

I don't see any nerfs here

[sour bison]

last time i tried trauma it sucked

[spice veldt]

damage seems to be the same, and same goes for the blast radius

[sour bison]

idk

[feral seal]

Alright I'll need to make a purg later, what do y'all recommend for it so I can experience PEAK purg?

[spice veldt]

bruh

so you're just making shit up?

[feral seal]

[sour bison]

maybe

its 8 am and i sitting at work

[potent echo]

Very simple, nexus/flurry
Flak/maniac with highest burn/cloudradius

[near wyvern]

@spice veldt I tried smite + blaze rending trauma for the luls now that you can farm true aim with smite, it works but it's not as smooth and safe than just traditional spirit nexus spam

[fading iris]

Ofc the Necron is trolling

[spice veldt]

shame

[strong gulch]

Charge rate. 🥲

[near wyvern]

on the other hand, smite with creeping flames and revolver works really well

[feral seal]

Cool cool, I'll give it a shot

[near wyvern]

you zap targets, notice something dangerous, give it a guaranteed crit headshot and back to zapping

[potent echo]

Also you need the staff tech

[feral seal]

What's the tech?

[sour bison]

did they fix smite LMB effect or tooltip btw?

[near wyvern]

we talking abut blitz cancel here again?

[potent echo]

Go into psyk, hold rmb, sprint forward and crouch

[near wyvern]

yes

[sour bison]

which one?

[potent echo]

You can slide forward while charging purg

That's how you fight shooters

[near wyvern]

you can slide forward while channeling anything

or charging anything

more so

[potent echo]

Yea trauma or void too

[strong gulch]

I wish I could blitz cancel. I don't have the needed sort of brains for it.

[near wyvern]

BB hands as well

smite as well

[potent echo]

But most useful on purg, really makes a difference

[near wyvern]

Trauma it's vital

[potent echo]

Trauma against shooters too yea

[feral seal]

So how does purg handle like 10 gunners across a room

[strong gulch]

Remember when only some staves could do that??

[near wyvern]

you can just skate within a horde and not give a dime

[viscid matrix]

@near wyvern any idea what that obscuros change is?

[potent echo]

Or just mobility in general

[potent echo]

Creeping flames, close in

[sour bison]

so lmb is useless still

[near wyvern]

what obscuros change?

[near wyvern]

it's not useless, I use it often on dogs or mutants who went on a drive by

[potent echo]

Find a flanking route, sprint slide, etc

[near wyvern]

but lighting storm (+1 LMB targets) is a waste of a point

[potent echo]

It's mainly a movement puzzle, since the actual killing part is just rmb lmb

[feral seal]

I can give it a shot

[severe folio]

learning that i could slide around with purg has made it much more flexible for me

[potent echo]

You can also play backline purg, just kill anything trying to backstab the team, though you would mainly rely on lmb stagger > switch to melee

[heady garnet]

Does the "fuck you in particular" talent that regens toughness when an ally gets cc'ed work on assassination boss knockback?

[near wyvern]

light spam damage seems better now but the moveset is still absoulte ass

takes 3-4 special heavies to kill a crusher

[feral seal]

How does purg fare against the classic 5 crusher 10 rager wave as well as 10 gunners in the back

[near wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/cringe-eeee-gif-24636179

[sour bison]

also how many charges does it takes for surge to kill a crusher?

[near wyvern]

even BB is faster

[sour bison]

now

[potent echo]

Use the crushers as cover, burn the ragers, lmb if they are close while dodging crushers

[feral seal]

Random

[near wyvern]

were crushers always 2 shot with EP buff (BB)

?

[onyx sentinel]

I feel like bringing both trauma and smite is redundant though, and I doubt swapping between them is better than just spamming trauma. Also you’d be missing out on bb with empowered psionics is really good for flamers and bombers

[potent echo]

After roasting the crushers, switch to uncanny melee, rending plus soulblaze on crushers do real damage

[viscid matrix]

Surge is back to its 4 shot to kill crusher

[sour bison]

damn

[feral seal]

Fire trauma takes br or assail, smite isn't useful for it

[potent echo]

4-9

[strong gulch]

Before patch 15 on my build they were. IDK about extra adding to it

[near wyvern]

incorrect, it's 6 now

because the fucking limb roulette

[near wyvern]

ok then no changes there

now you know how much I have used BB since P13 xD

[feral seal]

But what about... You just stunlock the whole horde with smite and they all die with no risk

[sour bison]

is there any reason at all to use surge now?

[near wyvern]

for style points

[sour bison]

great

[near wyvern]

you can build for it, it just takes quite a lot of effort and then you will ask yourself, why didn't I just go with a void and be a lot more flexible with my build

It's usable, sure

but not in a great spot at the moment

it went from broken to below purgatus xD

[potent echo]

You need a team

Purg lets you dive into any situation and still get out of it alive

[near wyvern]

You got it all wrong. The team needs you.
https://youtu.be/yrOmLUfNMw4

[feral seal]

Purg the solo clutcher??

[potent echo]

Yea for sure

[onyx sentinel]

Yeah I know, but the dude in the discussion before was recommending smite+trauma for true aim stacks

[potent echo]

Yea but 10 crushers tho

[near wyvern]

not recommending

I said it works

but it's not smooth

it's quite clunky to switch between smite and trauma

[onyx sentinel]

Not you another guy even before lol

[near wyvern]

and then try to watch when you have those 5 stacks

[feral seal]

I mean if would work but if you wanna do damage with smite psionics is just better

[near wyvern]

watch this 30 second clip and do you still think that psionics is the way? #psyker-class message

[feral seal]

I'm a crusher enjoyer

[potent echo]

The zealot weapon?

You can still run psionics, just no more cdr

[burnt granite]

Is it so over for surge staff users? I hear that the lightning randomly chooses a part to zap

[feral seal]

Both the weapon and the enemy

[sour bison]

yeah, did the same

rip surge

[feral seal]

Looks cool, but vent is massively boosting damage too

Does purg work without vent?

[potent echo]

You would want vent to deal with gunners and shooters

[near wyvern]

yes, it has enough horde damage on its own

if you take assail you have a way of dealing with gunners

then just uncanny strike melee and you are good to go

[sour bison]

mb will use purg with purg + vent + smite now

[potent echo]

Or you can take assail

Purg and smite have zero synergy

[feral seal]

I'm a bubble enjoyer

[near wyvern]

yeah I would not go smite with purg, too much overlap

[sour bison]

maybe

[near wyvern]

assail or br

[primal plume]

Can this be salvaged?

[potent echo]

I prefer br because of the nodes

[primal plume]

Charge to increase spread rate and damage.

What?

[sour bison]

its RMB

now tooltip doesnt lie

[primal plume]

I know that. But did it always do more damage?

[near wyvern]

and guess what the damage is

[sour bison]

its shit

[near wyvern]

around 35 DPS for LMB and 40DPS for RMB per target

[tame venture]

Change infested and sustained fire and it would be workable, no?

[sour bison]

w8 wat

[azure bridge]

complete meta slave question here, but which is technically more useful for an aura, the cooldown reduction one or the crit chance one?

[primal plume]

what about this one

[near wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/the-nutty-professor-eddie-murphy-granny-klump-gif-4730484

[sour bison]

oh u talking about purg

[near wyvern]

no I was talking about smite

[sour bison]

???

[near wyvern]

purg deals a lot more DPS cause soulblaze

[tame venture]

But who's on first?

[sour bison]

but 400?

[tame venture]

https://tenor.com/view/what-story-confused-whoseline-gif-7414153

[feral seal]

Is purg really dependent on crit to make the damage work?

[long wharf]

is it me or did they reduce void damage again?

seems like it charges more slowly, but I'm not 100% sure on that

[fading iris]

there was a bug on warp rider, so you could be feeling that

[sour bison]

soulblaze doesnt crit, only purg itself

[mortal breach]

Cooldown reduction, generally. If you (or your group) synergizes well with Crit chance then that one

[sour bison]

but other blessings are worse

[azure bridge]

tyvm

[feral seal]

Well yeah but you apply more if you crit right?

[sour bison]

are you?

[tame venture]

Crits apply 2 burns iirc

[potent echo]

Yea

But don't go crit aura

Or crit chance

Nexus is enough

[tame venture]

You'd really like to have them, but iirc you aren't desperate for them

[potent echo]

The 5% in the tree and nexus is already really good

[fading iris]

dmg to elits aura gang

[potent echo]

No use the cdr

More creeping flames more fire

[sour bison]

huh

[potent echo]

Also creeping flames stacks on top of purg stacks

[tame venture]

🤔 unironically is there a time/place/use for it?

[potent echo]

Purg stacks up to 15-16, creeping flames up to 21-22

[sour bison]

guess its purging time

[potent echo]

Then cdr and warpsiphon more creeping flames

More purging

[tame venture]

Dumb question, how big of an area does shriek effect anyway? I always feel like I need to be in breathing distance

[potent echo]

Unironically I roll with a low warp res purg because you can't build up peril fast enough otherwise

[potent echo]

Might be up to 30m

I need to check again

Through walls and cover too

[tame venture]

30 meters???

[potent echo]

It's really far yea

[sour bison]

with 85 of peril

[potent echo]

Definitely longer than surge staff

[sour bison]

its long yeah

[tame venture]

That's important to know

[potent echo]

Yea you always want to use it at max peril

Or > 85/86

[sour bison]

i have almost perfect surge

and it suck

[potent echo]

So all the gunners and shooters in cover, press shriek, they will die

[feral seal]

Bubble protects me from da shooters

[tame venture]

Does it apply the blaze too?

[azure bridge]

does this game have friendly fire?

[tame venture]

No

[sour bison]

its buble or shriek

[north cradle]

Sort of

[feral seal]

I like playing a more team support psyker, that's why I usually play bubble and smite

[potent echo]

Shriek does if you take creeping flames, which you always should

[feral seal]

Surge is my pick for special and elite sniping the lazy way and void if I'm feeling sweaty

[long wharf]

I'm definitely feeling the reduced damage from Warp Rider

[north cradle]

There is 'collision' on hitscan weapons but it doesn't hurt your teammates. The only way to hurt your teammates is by planting breaching charges on walls

[long wharf]

void still seems to be charging more slowly

[north cradle]

Projectiles phase through teammates, though it's not like there are many of them.

[potent echo]

some bullets get stopped by teammates

Like autoguns

[surreal eagle]

burn % is also important for applying more

[potent echo]

Or autopistol

[north cradle]

I thought those were hitscan

[potent echo]

Yea hitscan bullets

Not saying you wrong just adding on

[north cradle]

Ah alright. In the biz, projectiles refer to a ray that moves some engine's distance per tick, as I understand it. Hitscan is just a ray that registers a hit between the origin and whatever stops it

[feral seal]

Yeah isn't the cutoff like 76 or something?

[north cradle]

Mind bullets, flamer plumes, Rumbler grenades, Blastoom grenades, Voidstrike balls, these all pass through teammates

Autogun bullets, bolter bolts, and lasgun shots get stopped by teammates

[sinful peak]

So I just swapped from assail to smite and I’m having trouble figuring out how to use it, if there’s a horde I pull out illisi, if there’s a lot of elites I mow them down with voidstrike, I don't ever find myself in a situation where I'd want to use smite over my other options. Am I missing something

[north cradle]

You ideally want to use Smite if there are a bunch of melee Elites you can't handle by yourself

Or to halt Disablers

[feral seal]

Smite is for the 5 crusher and 10 rager wave when there's also a huge trash hoard and 3 flamers mixed in

[north cradle]

True, I forgot about Flamers

[sinful peak]

That doesn’t really happen often, most times I handles hordes like that with voidstrike

[north cradle]

I think of it this way for all three Blitz options:

Assail: To use against shooters, most Elites, and most Specialists
Surge: To use against melee Elites, Crushers, and Flamers```

[fading iris]

Just LMB everything

[north cradle]

Hell yeah

[fading iris]

more time to spam cheers

[north cradle]

To defend my dream

[strong gulch]

I mean valid. How long did we suffer only BB??

[north cradle]

Honestly though, Brain Burst got shafted in Patch 13. The fact I can't one-shot Scab Ragers without Empowered Psionics feels really bad

[fading iris]

++ For my Beloved! ++

[north cradle]

I do need to adjust some of my builds now that Surge Staff is broken in the bad way now

Voidstrike hasn't been touched, right?

[mortal breach]

I don't think I've ever seen the voidstrike Crit staff blessing yet so I might look for that to replace my surge

[north cradle]

Warp Nexus or Surge?

[mortal breach]

The two shot one

Surge I guess

Confusing name

[north cradle]

There are two Veteran talents called Always Prepared

[fading iris]

put your best aluminum paper hat, are you ready?

[north cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/alexjones-alex-jones-tinfoil-hat-gif-19186951

[supple skiff]

oo we breaking out the tin foil

[north cradle]

Lay it on me sir

[fading iris]

that is stuff indicating that changes to the body parts system were made and those changes got f up

if that is true, voidstrike could be affected too

you aim that big ball of fun... ding hand damage, get rekt nerd

[north cradle]

In that an enemy who gets struck in the arm first, because they're a shooter, will take reduced damage?

[viscid matrix]

its fine as is, still 2 tapping crushers

[fading iris]

psykers in general where eating good with the warp rider bug, that being fixed + the possible body parts system change that is something that affects everything

[north cradle]

Warp Rider was a bug? It worked that way before Patch 13 where it gave you a damage buff

[viscid matrix]

as someone who edged my peril, that change doesnt affect me

[viscid matrix]

the 10% at 0% peril was a "bug" and now its 0% at 0% peril

[north cradle]

Oh gae

[fading iris]

but first, if you are feeling something weird with the damage and was using warp driver, is probably the fix

[north cradle]

I remember that the old talent tree at level 10 gave you a damage bonus even at 0% Peril

[fading iris]

funny enough I play with surge without bug, only thing that really changed for me was that surge smite can't be a opener anymore

[supple skiff]

they decide when things become bugs I suppose lol

curious to see how th elimb damage plays out

[fading iris]

besides that, same ol' thing, same thing with assail, I'm not a assail spammer, I shoot in moderation, so 3s is just more happy thoughts before murdering heretics for my beloved

[primal plume]

Whats the meta for trauma staff?

[harsh urchin]

Do you want chill and easy or sweaty and hard (but more dmg)

[north cradle]

I use Assail for dealing with shooters, and during Hunting Grounds missions, the Pox Hounds. It really takes the edge off that modifier

[viscid matrix]

check the guide

[north cradle]

Also if the Veteran is running Survivalist, easy ammo

[fading iris]

I like to use a lot the LMB from the surge, the limb thing even helps me on that front

but I would prefer that in case of a bug, fix it

if is a feature why and then hope is because of some new weapon that requires the change

[orchid shadow]

That kind of change should have been rolled out with the new weapon then, if it was intended for future proof then it needed an explanation. I don't think it's even in the patch notes. When you make the changes for future features, you still have got ask yourself, "Is this fun, NOW?" If it's not, the changes a month from now are useless to the player.

[lethal lagoon]

3 patchs of wanting to play EP smite surge, time to wait for number 4

[fading iris]

It isn't, that's why so far is a bug

[feral seal]

Gw2 player detected

[fading iris]

shhhhh don't tell them

[orchid shadow]

I'm still using EP surge smite. I'm treating it like pre-patch 13 now, where I just CC everything now and get my zaps in. Swapped to Bio-Lodestone over Overpowering Souls as it's is effectively useless as you'll never get your kill in time to get ep charges before a Vet takes your Elite kill. At least now I'll have charges to power up Smite

[lethal lagoon]

I don't like bugged builds, good or bad.

[feral seal]

Mukluk enjoyer!!!

[lethal lagoon]

Surge randomly doing less damage cause it hits a limb is infurating.

[fading iris]

[lethal lagoon]

Especially when you were excepting it to one shot a shooter mob or something.

It still works, but the point of a game is having fun

[rare arrow]

was there a change to warp rider?

[fading iris]

there was a bug that was giving 10%+ always, now is the correct thing

[lethal lagoon]

EP smite with flaming shierk is really fun though, I'll probably just roll a revolver or something

[fading iris]

and I don't know if was 10% always + 10% of the first threshold + 10% of the second (total 30) or always 10 then 20% when more peril

[spice veldt]

it was 10%-20%

it was just old warp unleashed but with 20% as the upper bound

[orchid shadow]

Oh definitely. But I'm no good at the other staves, so this is my only real option. =/

[fading iris]

30% would've been maximum funny

[lethal lagoon]

Gunker is calling you, join the dark side.

[fading iris]

when weakspot is on the head, you can aim a little more above and almost 100% there

the ideal was not get the muscle memory on that to after a fix end up missing

[harsh urchin]

Psyker nerfs 🙀

[orchid shadow]

I might try again, I had my fun with the shredder before. I certainly have the money to fish for a decent Columnus. But it feels like quitting if I give up on Surge as it's the only staff I've ever used since Day1

[harsh urchin]

Psyker has it rough rn lol

[fading iris]

Hadron will be pleased

[harsh urchin]

I think only trauma and vs feel strong rn

[orchid shadow]

Hadron will have many bricks in their new wall by the time I'm done. 😦

[frank chasm]

#psyker-class message

Try this

With max health curios (3 x 20%)

Sorry wrong build

That build but with a las pistol and missing the warp damage talents

I would send you a build link but I don’t have one for it yet

Dumdum and ghost on the las pistol too with +5% crit Chance

You’re functionally immune and faster than a zealot

[ripe yacht]

Good lord what do you do to have 143k plasteel?

[frank chasm]

Game

[frank chasm]

This with dumdum instead of infernus

[harsh urchin]

You don't really need ghost on laspistol psyker

[frank chasm]

You don’t but it’s fun

[harsh urchin]

Cuz you can just take the node

That gives you ranged immunity

[potent echo]

Ghost is more consistent imo

[frank chasm]

and lasts longer

[potent echo]

Infernus is poopoo

[frank chasm]

Gives just about as much time for a reload

Infernus sucks

[potent echo]

Is even more poopoo without dumdum

[frank chasm]

But I had nothing better when I took the screenshot

I have Dum dum 4 on it now

[potent echo]

I see, yea I dont get why people love infernus

Maybe you get faster ttk on reapers and bosses

[brittle cargo]

Anybody think one of these is much better than the other? I’m leaning towards the left, putting warp flurry and change a perk. The difference in charge time is only 0.3 seconds so I feel like charge rate is not very important

[frank chasm]

I liked it while I was getting used to the build to get in the practice of critting and knowing when I was

[potent echo]

There's a sound for crits

[potent echo]

I wouldn't go crit chance unless you go fishing with trauma blaze

Warp resist you can get around it if you run warpsiphon + shriek

[frank chasm]

I play loud classical music while playing psyker because it feels right blasting Mozart and ignoring everything except the loudest enemy noises while playing a cackling madman

not optimal I know

But fun

[potent echo]

Understandable

[severe folio]

how does that surge work on trauma

[lethal lagoon]

only for left click

[severe folio]

very unfortunate

[severe folio]

i think the right staff is not good at all, and charge rate do work wonder

[harsh urchin]

0.3 seconds is a lot

Especially if you're adding 0.3 seconds to every right click

How much time is that over a game

[potent echo]

It adds up alot over time

Like 3 blasts you already have 1 extra second of doing nothing

[severe folio]

combine with flurry

[primal plume]

Is this even worth the point?

[brittle cargo]

Putting flurry on the left staff and changing one of the perks would be a significant upgrade though right? Or is it not worth it?

[harsh urchin]

I wouldnt use a staff without a highroll charge rate personally

Stuff like dmg, etc 70-80 is ideal

But stuff that affects how the weapon feels

Like charge rate or attackspeed i would aim for 77-80

[brittle cargo]

So what’s the dump stat on trauma staff then?

Quell speed?

[potent echo]

Yea

Quell speed or warp resist

Ideally split

Lose abit of damage is okay too, but charge rate 80 yea

[bitter escarp]

doesn't matter for blaze trauma though, does it?

[potent echo]

Damage just needs to be there for breakpoints, mainly one shot bruisers

[bitter escarp]

it's a stick for spreading soulblaze

[potent echo]

You still want to at least be able to oneshot bruisers

[fading iris]

you're a psyker, just yeet your teammates into the mobs

[severe folio]

yeet the mob into your teammates

make a crusher crash into the team

[fading iris]

that could work too

[potent echo]

You can do that with Deimos too

Still not fixed btw

Maybe it's intended

[severe folio]

they always fall to the right

[potent echo]

It even stops mutants

Amazing

If it doesn't die

Which it won't because warp rider nerf

[severe folio]

oh yeah they nerf that

[harsh urchin]

this has been a rough patch for psyker tbh

[severe folio]

well im always at max peril so no different for me

[fading iris]

I mean... it wasn't nerfed, was fixed

[frail sand]

need a mod to rename peril to pearls

[harsh urchin]

surge bug removed, unbugged surge gutted, handcannon assail bug removed, unbugged assail gutted, warp rider nerfed

[analog agate]

You can one shot bruisers with no warp charges and 57% dmg (what I have). Dmg doesnt matter much on blaze trauma

[fading iris]

I really like how the RMB on surge and the charge speeds are, if I change staffs, would probably change to smite blitz then using voidstrike or trauma...

and after that the one I choose would probably get a weird bug or nerf

[potent echo]

You have +flak?

[analog agate]

Yes. +25% flak and +5% crit

56%

[potent echo]

Does it oneshot the shirtless ones

[analog agate]

Yes

[potent echo]

Alright then around that is probably enough

[analog agate]

I have no clue what the actual breakpoint is anymore on it. Dmg probably matters if you don't fully charge

But I always do

[small hornet]

What does Surge do

What the hell is that description lmao

[analog agate]

doubles your shot. bis for that

[fading iris]

"I always give 100% for the team"

don't need to worry about power if you always slap the heretic with all your might

[potent echo]

44% though ouch

Extract

[burnt mulch]

can someone quickly explain to me how to use the Purgatus staff?

[potent echo]

What are you having issues with?

[burnt mulch]

I'm not doing damage

[plush basalt]

is there a reason venting shriek is always taken on purgatus builds?

[potent echo]

How so

[burnt mulch]

all i've done is blind my friend LOL

uhhh, i wave my hand, white clouds come out

[potent echo]

Do the rmb charge

Unleash, repeat

Apply on hordes

Apply on elites

Apply on bosses

[burnt mulch]

oh is it like "charge up duration, shoot fire for duration you charged?"

[potent echo]

Yea

You shoot for longer

[plush basalt]

can I take bubble shield on a purgatus build instead of venting shriek, or is there something with venting shriek applying to purgatus?

[potent echo]

Than you charge

[charred edge]

except its white fire so it looks cooler

[potent echo]

So it's valuable to charge longer

[small hornet]

Purg staff is bad, just use surge staff

[plush basalt]

surge staff is way worse now

[potent echo]

Venting creeping flames stack

So your purgatus applies max 15

Creeping adds it to 21

[plush basalt]

ahh

[potent echo]

Also it vents

And deals with shooters

[frail sand]

more sustain

[potent echo]

Stagger gunners to let you close in

[small hornet]

Surge Staff is still good enough to 2-3 shot most elites, so it's still decent

better than purg imo

[burnt mulch]

wait what? i heard the reverse of this

[edgy wyvern]

purge for groups and heavys

[potent echo]

I've never seen this guy in psyker chat ever

[edgy wyvern]

surge for single trgt dmg

[small hornet]

Well they're fundamentally used for 2 different purposes

But imo Purg just feels bad

at least to me

[potent echo]

Purg is a movement puzzle

[jolly vale]

I'm really trying, but surge is just not putting out that on paper damage

[burnt mulch]

i basically have no idea if anything i do is effective, or doing any damage 😎

[potent echo]

By itself it has unparralleled damage and control, you just need to get close

[small hornet]

Holdup, you're telling me Surge is bad single target damage?

[edgy wyvern]

purge does good against everything cept carapace i think

[small hornet]

If you're using surge for hordes, you're insane

just use shards

[potent echo]

Also suppresses

[jolly vale]

Oops nope I meant rupture

[edgy wyvern]

i mean surge not purge

[jolly vale]

Istg I'm dyslexic or something

[small hornet]

Surge is goated at killing Carapace tho

[edgy wyvern]

compared to othe defenses

[jolly vale]

rupture is really making me 🧐 at the damage numbers

[tawny pebble]

it took so long to get one

[small hornet]

Kills crushers in 3 full charges

[tawny pebble]

it took me this long to get a +1 wound curio

[edgy wyvern]

yes surge is really strong

[burnt mulch]

im just a confused little space wizard 😦

[orchid shadow]

Not any more. Takes 4 crit chains, and now takes around 5.

[jolly vale]

Wait what is surge, I'm not seeing it

[burnt mulch]

is assail + revolver a decent combo?

[tawny pebble]

the nomanus staff

[jolly vale]

Assail is a good combo ues

[small hornet]

Ehhhh, yea, makes sense, usually the team does some damage as well

[jolly vale]

Yes*

[small hornet]

so I average it to 3

[edgy wyvern]

lightning staff

[burnt mulch]

i haaaate smite >.<

[tawny pebble]

each has their own playstyle

[edgy wyvern]

i like smite for hordes

[tawny pebble]

i like smite but also really love running trauma

but my teams don't like it

[edgy wyvern]

but BB is my fav blits

[tawny pebble]

so i opt for smite lol

[jolly vale]

Oh im so lost oh dear
What is surge, and what is the nomanus staff

[tawny pebble]

i

accidentally went into a Blitz conversation

thinking about staves

ignore me

[orchid shadow]

Plus it now targets limbs so you get reduced damage making those crits quite small

[edgy wyvern]

surge staff= lightning staff

[supple skiff]

so the finale for the new mission

[tawny pebble]

when people talk about surge staff, they refer to Nomanus

[jolly vale]

Oh so we aren't using the fire staff anymore

[tawny pebble]

Surge as an ability is a blitz

[small hornet]

Is there any way to force it to not target limbs

[supple skiff]

last group I was in, someonw was under the impression you can close gates to stem enemy reinforcements, any truth to that

[small hornet]

via aiming

[jolly vale]

??????

[white egret]

what perks are best for surge staff?

[edgy wyvern]

smite is the blits

[frail sand]

flak/crit chance imo

[white egret]

in the new map? that's true

[supple skiff]

well shit

[burnt mulch]

if i have fun with the revolver, i have zero horde clear v_v

[jolly vale]

Oh dear maybe we should all get our reading glasses for this shit 🫠

[edgy wyvern]

smite or asail can help with horde

[frail sand]

primary melee weapon?

[burnt mulch]

uhhh

fat blocky sword

I can't spell its name

[frail sand]

deimos?

catachan?

[burnt mulch]

the D sword

[edgy wyvern]

Illus is my fav force sword no animation lock

[orchid shadow]

Consistently in the epileptic chaos? 😛

[small hornet]

I can dedicate 2 brain cells to aim I suppose

[potent echo]

Devil claw

[burnt mulch]

no, it's a force sword

they're the biggest ones i could find

[potent echo]

Illisi

Probably

[burnt mulch]

i think it's a deimos

i tried illisi and was struggling

[supple skiff]

do the gates reopen at all or is it a close it once and done type thing

[white egret]

think they can reopen

they did for me when I played it this morning

[supple skiff]

hmm

think Id sooner just post up in a choke point versus trying to run around

granted I use void so im biased lol

[long wharf]

well, Assail can still be used full-time, but you have to be a bit more conservative with it

[burnt mulch]

jkhgkjfhkjfhgjghfkj I just revived a zealot and he was like "REMOVE THY HANDS >:("

lol

depending on the personality you choose you can be a real dick to other players

[burnt mulch]

i have the wholesome psyker voice

[potent echo]

Dreamer psyker the best

[tawny pebble]

i liked the high pitched german voice but he ends up being so spiteful and condescending

[edgy wyvern]

Loner over here im so mean sometimes

[burnt mulch]

i have Savant

[tawny pebble]

same lol

[supple skiff]

I like loners lines but not so much the voice

[jolly vale]

I think we should all start using ogryn talk here from now on
Don't tell me about how you love the purgalitus mk VX tell me about the shooty-zappy

[feral seal]

THE TRAPPER IS DEEeeaaAaaEeAAAEEED

[burnt mulch]

and idk why but my guy is always napping in the dropship loading screen

he's just a sleepy lil dude :c

[tawny pebble]

approved

[orchid shadow]

As far as I understand, it's random. The lightning visually goes to the center mass, so I don't think there's a way aim it specifically to not hit limbs

[small hornet]

Tragic

[celest hedge]

i'm having trouble building EP stacks as a smite player

[celest hedge]

is that my surge staff feels worst now? smite EP bug aside

[small hornet]

Ahhh I see

I only played 1 match with the staff so far

It felt SLIGHTLY weaker

[edgy wyvern]

didnt know this about Surge staff

[orchid shadow]

Most likely yes. Warp Rider was fixed too, but you're only going to feel that at 0% peril.

[edgy wyvern]

havent played it in a while because purge staff helps me against hordes

[celest hedge]

warp rider is fine, it should be 0% at 0% peril, since I think other talents like that are similar

[small hornet]

New patch, new "feature"

[edgy wyvern]

Ah "Feature"

[orchid shadow]

Are you using Overpowering souls or Bio Lodestone?

Also, what's your main weapon?

[burnt mulch]

is brain burst + revolver not the best combo to use?

[bitter escarp]

nah old warp unleashed

[lethal lagoon]

Bet's on next patch "fixing" it so Surge hits all limbs and body, increasing it's damage 3x.

[static needle]

Do i need 3 extra stamina for voidstrike warp nexus/warp flurry build and mk iv duelling sword

[flint pawn]

It's not as insane as others' achievements but I finally hit +100 on my Psyker 🙂

[burnt mulch]

do i need the Wildfire talent if i'm messing about with Perilous Combustion? (assail/revolver build)

[velvet spear]

wow they really did surge bois dirty eh

[potent echo]

No

Read atheneum if you want the nitty gritty details

[smoky fractal]

so the pinned guide said crit is bad on surge is this... too low?

[jolly vale]

Wait this is surge at a nerf?!

[potent echo]

Stealth nerf

Tbh there should be a thread on it but

[jolly vale]

O_O

[potent echo]

The info only lives in psyker chat

[smoky fractal]

is really a nerf though if they fixed the bug?

[wanton sandal]

im pretty certain its just a bug

[jolly vale]

I just picked up surge, and it's working better than my purgatus

[plush basalt]

surge is terribad

especially with the limb bug on top of just trash dps now

[potent echo]

#psyker-class message

Yea just read around there

[smoky fractal]

it just doesnt do unyeilding that well

just take a demios with you

[jolly vale]

Oh yeah, is there a good ad clear sword

[burnt mulch]

i would be so happy if i could wield sword + revolver at the same time

[robust kayak]

did yall get to test assail? is it still the best blitz?

[jolly vale]

It's a bit closer in line, but the other two still need massive buffs to bring them up to par
