psyker-class

[deft osprey]

with 3.2k crits lol

[obtuse moth]

grats! what was your strat

a lot of newbies come rolling in asking how to do it and the old strats are outdated

[deft osprey]

just play the carnival map, high intensity shock gauntlet

the end area there is where i got this penance done

[obtuse moth]

ah nice

ty, did you camp at the entrance or run around?

[plush jacinth]

yall reckon best aura for fire psyker is crit?

[deft osprey]

camp & just purge them

[sand path]

do you have a hard time brain bursting anything successfully when on a party with experienced players?

I feel like the time it takes is too long

[obtuse moth]

depends on build, support builds dont need the crit

[obtuse moth]

yes

[deft osprey]

I'm running crit aura for my purge build

[obtuse moth]

also depends on what other talents you take, because sometimes the cheaper path gets you what you need in your build

[azure bridge]

oof just had a heresy run go bad at the last moment thanks to 3 trappers

we were doing really well too

[late yew]

I thnik overall cooldown considered to be the best

[azure bridge]

I use elite aura myself

[obtuse moth]

play damnation, its easier than heresy because the players are better

heresy is difficulty purgatory

[late yew]

heresy is fuckn impossible to win

[azure bridge]

really?

I'm kidna worried I'm not good enough for damnation, don't wana waste peoples time

[obtuse moth]

you're fine for damnation if you can stomach heresy

most damnation players aren't good enough to carry heresy

[azure bridge]

that is so weird lol

[obtuse moth]

theyre more understanding too

[toxic forge]

Most people who play below auric damn are hard af to carry rn

[obtuse moth]

damnation players know things can go to shit at the drop of a hat

[late yew]

Yeah, it is weird

[obtuse moth]

they tend to rage and blame other players less than heresy ones

[late yew]

I play only auric, but i don't think i can carry heresy lol

on characters below 30 that is

[toxic forge]

I can carry normal heresy and damn pretty easy on veteran

[late yew]

on 30, not sure

[azure bridge]

well i ahve learned something new then

[toxic forge]

Vet's just broken right now though

again

lol

[late yew]

Eh, let him be

[obtuse moth]

the harder the content, the more likely we're to say gt or nt and queue right back in

[late yew]

Vet needs to be broken

[upbeat parcel]

the best carry build for psyker is propably crit assail+voidstrike

[late yew]

since vet mains have 0 mental capacity

If you don't make their class broken, they won't be able to play

[toxic forge]

I mean they nerfed tf out of exe stance for w/e reason

[obtuse moth]

idk, i think assail trauma might be more carry

[toxic forge]

So everyone has to use the braindead ass command shout

[azure bridge]

is this gear good enough for damnation?

[obtuse moth]

it makes a much safer zone

[upbeat parcel]

trauma and voidstrike can fit a similar function depending on how u build it

[obtuse moth]

that or smite void

[upbeat parcel]

I don't trust smite with pubs tbh

[toxic forge]

Void smite is hilariously op but not op to carry shit players, op to carry good players

[late yew]

not sure about void with smite

[obtuse moth]

ah true

[late yew]

It makes smite kinda irreleveant, no?

[toxic forge]

All gear is good for damnation, the question is if you can beat damnation

[late yew]

actually, void makes any blitz irrelevant

[toxic forge]

No, smite is good when you get surrounded by elites

[obtuse moth]

smite is great for revives and locking down every special + the entire horde

[toxic forge]

You just flick your mouse around while doing the right click and watch all the elites get stunned

Void's better in chokes

[azure bridge]

well guess I'm gonna try damnation then

[obtuse moth]

you can pause everything, void can't do that

[upbeat parcel]

smite is like that zealot sun grenade but on demand, the problem is that bad teams won't make use of it

[late yew]

btw, i disagree that EP does nothing for smite @near wyvern . With EP it is a good hhorce clearer, so you can safely take bubble. With battery, you do need flame shriek for horde clearing

[late yew]

They will

it is impossible to not make use of it

you need to stand AFK to do that

if you do anything, you are using it

may be not as well as they could use it

but still

[toxic forge]

Aka everyone who plays below auric

absolutely dont have thumbs

[obtuse moth]

its very possible, they ignore everyone whos downed, and dont attack any high priority targets, then run off and die

[ornate hamlet]

With trauma you don't need smite to carry, it knocks everything bar monstros on their ass.
Works really well with a soulblaze build with soulblaze on crit + warp flurry blessings.

[upbeat parcel]

I've seen stealth vets might as well be doing nothing

[obtuse moth]

eg. they were worse off than before the smite. theyre now in a spot unressable (and dead)

[toxic forge]

Yeah but I was talking about void

[upbeat parcel]

everyone gangsta until the stealth vet runs ahead, aggros mobs, goes invis so now you, the psyker has all the aggro

[granite mauve]

more things to blow up with trauma

[upbeat parcel]

Psyker can handle itself yeah but it still performs better when u have a meat shield

I fuck with Ogryns with taunt fr

[ornate hamlet]

Only thing it doesn't stop is mutants, but you are better off just killing the mutant with your melee.

[obtuse moth]

oops didnt mean to delete that

[upbeat parcel]

dueling sword is enough for mutties yeah

[obtuse moth]

doesn't stop bursters, mutants, trappers, flamers, bombers, hounds and mutants attacking all at once from every direction. is it necessary? no but smite does have a valid use over trauma cc

[ornate hamlet]

It actually kills them too if you blow them up, removing the threat altogether.

[obtuse moth]

you can only blow up a small area

you cant cover your feet and every attack angle and choke

[ornate hamlet]

You actually can blow it up on your feet

[obtuse moth]

yes

[late yew]

btw, void can stun ogryns and i think spawn too

[ornate hamlet]

Yea if you can hit their heads

[obtuse moth]

but you can't hit everything outside of that range... trauma circle aoe is much smaller than smite

[ornate hamlet]

Smite is useful in certain scenarios but having a staff that prevents said scenarios is better

[upbeat parcel]

I do think smite could use a slight duration buff

[obtuse moth]

it doesnt prevent them lol

[upbeat parcel]

doesn't have to be infinite but still

[plush jacinth]

wizards w/ trauma staff experience, is this an L staff?

[ornate hamlet]

Then you aren't using it properly lol

[obtuse moth]

the pushback is very good on smite

[plush jacinth]

dont know whether to spec fire or rend

on it

[whole oxide]

why would you take a marginal improvement over something you already do very well, versus covering a total gap at long range?

[obtuse moth]

have you tried it with peril resist? and its even crazier with venting shriek

[upbeat parcel]

I've used it before it's pretty good yeah

maybe I just miss infinite smite

[obtuse moth]

false argument, already said that its not necessary, just that it does something trauma doesn't.

[late yew]

same

[ornate hamlet]

Trauma has a longer range than you give it credit, outside of the longest hallways and most open areas you can basically blow anything up anywhere and you can slot a blitz that can cover your long range like BB or Assail.

[obtuse moth]

i specifically said circle aoe and not range

not the same thing

[whole oxide]

so you're taking Smite and a 2nd Blitz? reread my comment

[obtuse moth]

lmb on force staves is pretty usable now fwiw

[spice veldt]

in terms of the epicentre, it's not that large

[ornate hamlet]

Not the epicenter but the range in which you can actually put said epicenter

A full charged blast can cover an entire hallway

[spice veldt]

sure, it's range is pretty adequate at 20m on level ground

but in terms of coverage with regards to the AoE when comparing smite and trauma, trauma is losing

[ornate hamlet]

You give up coverage for damage

Which is better when you take into account of not having to rely on teammates who might or might not be eating glue

[whole oxide]

you also have to consider the type of CC, a stun that ends half a second after you stop channeling, is not the same as a knockdown which will take 3-4s to get back up

[near wyvern]

And then you loose the utility to catch specialists with a quick LMB if you need without dropping a charge. You can live without bubble if you just have good positioning. Removing the threats is a lot more efficient.

[upbeat parcel]

I'm a bubble enjoyer because gunners are too spooky

[whole oxide]

main benefit of bubble is its the only thing in the universe which can make pugs group up

[late yew]

You can live without quick LMB if you have good positioning as wlel, what is that point

not even mentuioning that bubble nulfies threat of every special but dogs and mutants

[plush jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-monke-neuron-activation-neuron-activation-gif-20850506

[obtuse moth]

gunners arent spooky with ranged immunity from crit

[ornate hamlet]

Take the Laspistol + ghost pill with empathic evasion

[late yew]

And you don't los equick LMB

it is not like you HAVE to preserve stacks

they are easy enough to get

[obtuse moth]

how does it nullify bursters?

[late yew]

Ah, them too

[ornate hamlet]

Wall > Bubble for negating specials

[late yew]

so this

[potent echo]

bubble is fine and good but you definitely are sacrificing alot of damage and control

[late yew]

Bubble to comfy

[obtuse moth]

i prefer bubble over wall for specials

it prevents them from far more angles of attack, including over your shield

[late yew]

if you taek bubble, you also take EP, with which smite becomes anti-horde tool

[potent echo]

if you want to solo clutch situations venting will help you alot more

[ornate hamlet]

I prefer ||smoke grenade|| for specials

[potent echo]

bubble is good if your team is alive

[plucky flax]

Any gazers?

[potent echo]

if you go down first in games just take bubble i guess

[late yew]

i gaze into your mom

[ornate hamlet]

Hell yes, melee psyker go brr

[obtuse moth]

bubble is pretty good for ressing

nullfies trappers/bombers/flamers and ranged from stopping your res

[plucky flax]

Give psyker melee attack speed

[late yew]

no

[potent echo]

it definitely can stabilise situations where your team is wildly out of position

[late yew]

zealot should stay as only true melee class

Giving psyker better melee would reduce differences between classes

[ornate hamlet]

I wish, don't worry sibling. Two handed force sword soon to make zealots and vets seethe.

[late yew]

Tihs is why i liked the ltalent rework

It really gave each class its own strength and weaknesses

Before they were way more similar

and psyker had best melee in the game

[potent echo]

two handed forcesword and gaze please

[late yew]

i would not mind that

[plucky flax]

I'd take grail knight 2h sword as a starting point.

That thing was swaggy.

[spice veldt]

eh it's not like zealot is pure melee either

[potent echo]

bret sword

[ornate hamlet]

Longsword moveset is Chef's Kiss

[spice veldt]

Psyker has very few melee talents which is quite sad

[obtuse moth]

does it? they usually run out of the bubble or stand on the outside edge then get hit by a sniper in my experience (the second one includes my greed friends)

[potent echo]

triple overheads? heavy with block frames? block cancel combos? too good

[spice veldt]

gib more warp melee or melee talents

warp melee with an offensive push-attack preferably

[late yew]

I don't like how combos were done in VT

[ornate hamlet]

All the damage buffs in the feats that isn't warp damage buffs your melee. Scrier also turns Illisi into a blender.

[late yew]

Every single weapon had unobvious combos

that sometimes you have no way of knowing without frame hunting

[obtuse moth]

i can't give up the melee+ movement speed psyker crack

[spice veldt]

they buff melee but I prefer to see a talent more dedicated towards melee

[potent echo]

but also buffs guns

[uneven compass]

Siblings...somethings not right

[late yew]

you want to focus on melee, play fuckn zealot

i want classes to be different

[spice veldt]

no

[late yew]

not fuckn same thing with different flavor

[spice veldt]

they have their differences here and there

[plucky flax]

3 high level guys + some dude.

[ornate hamlet]

Only thing missing is attack speed.
If psyker had that it'd be op.

[obtuse moth]

frame hunting? that sounds pretty unachievable to reliably perform in combat

[potent echo]

gunker talents are balanced around the fact they affect guns

[whole oxide]

class identity doesn't mean that zealot gets a total monopoly on all things melee, there can still be different approaches to melee

[spice veldt]

I don't care if they're different flavors

[glossy ember]

technically you're all lv30

:^)

[plucky flax]

Lvl 33 guy will carry.

[limber tartan]

What are these silly numbers

[potent echo]

if they only affect melee they would be much stronger to compensate (probably)

[ornate hamlet]

Mortis cosmetic people I encounter have always been shit

[obtuse moth]

i feel like gunker talents are balanced around weakspot hits and peril

[potent echo]

yea but imagine if DD gave attack speed too

one can dream

[spice veldt]

we'll get a precision staff one day

[obtuse moth]

gotta start somewhere, hf!

[obtuse moth]

mortis?

[near wyvern]

You don't use quick LMB to save yourself. You use it to prevent that poxie or dog to get your team mate.

[ornate hamlet]

Gunk Booster for Psyker when

[near wyvern]

@late yew smite already eliminates all threats, if it doesn't, that's bad positioning.

[near wyvern]

Had some helarious lobby quits when I boosted my friend for his lvl 20 alt at Auric Damnation

[late yew]

You can use your stave to do that

[late yew]

... which is my point, no one figured optimal combos for most weapons in actual combat, it was separate tests using different mods

[near wyvern]

With Creeping Flames + Smite you can bring anything you want for your ranged weapon

It works with all of them

Purge and Trauma obviously overlap but still

[obtuse moth]

im fine with alts on auric damnation, i've always regretted not leaving when i see an underlevel on auric maelstrom

[late yew]

Just kick them

[obtuse moth]

can you even do that, they were brought in by a friend

you need all votes dont you

[late yew]

yeah

[azure bridge]

soooo yall were right

just did my first damnation

was easier than heresy lol

[obtuse moth]

grats! one of us

[azure bridge]

saw someone using voidstaff to great effect vs plauge ogryn too

and had a vet clutch save our run when I got punted off the side of a ledge causing my teammates to get trapped

i might be turning into a masochist, I had way too much fun

What are maelstrom missions?

[obtuse moth]

theyre 2+ difficulty levels higher than regular damnation

[near wyvern]

The easiest missions you can do
https://youtu.be/yrOmLUfNMw4

[obtuse moth]

they dont just have a preset modifier

they stack multiple modifiers on top of each other

i recommend getting comfortable with regular auric damnation missions before jumping into auric maelstrom

[azure bridge]

10-4

[obtuse moth]

you could try the non-auric maelstrom if you want

its usually malice or heresy

[azure bridge]

that's actually what prompted the question

[obtuse moth]

ah ok, i forgot they existed for a second

i have a mod that defaults to auric

[azure bridge]

I always take smite now, can't live without it

So many times I've saved the team from horrors beyond comprehension with it

[obtuse moth]

its very strong but i find it less fun sometimes XD

[late yew]

this is most awful music

please nevert use it

[real wadi]

hey anybody want me to help with the pennace maleus monstronum ?

[limber tartan]

@late yew
This is what i listen to when i play AM with random
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUZsHDB8o2Q

[late yew]

I liked Dishonored v ersion

[toxic forge]

jfc the spawns today man

[limber tartan]

Sight only clouds his mind

[visual adder]

This is the truth

[azure bridge]

so... i think i just ran into a glitch and I have no idea how to replicate it, my demios sword has deflector on it, and last mission whenver i tried to block incoming laser fire, i just took damage instead of it lowering my stamina

unles i'm very blind, i don't see a channel for bugs

[rigid rune]

Forum

[azure bridge]

gotcha

[idle bay]

Deflector fail to block under certain angles, like form above.

[desert mirage]

made a new psyker for shits and giggles on my free slot, and im level 5, everyone else is around level 20, and they all seemingly have no clue what to do

like at all

its so frustrating

[idle bay]

Influx of new players... we just need to live through it, then they will burn out on crafting and mass quit...

[proven belfry]

does supressing enemies with purgatus staff right click work? or is it only left click?

[obtuse moth]

suppresion comes from killing, lmb has more push impact

[potent echo]

right click

suppresion in general, not need to be from kills

[proven belfry]

ohh okay so it works both ways as long as I get a close range kill?

[potent echo]

left click also suppresses if you spam it enough

if you shoot the fire stream, they will cower

except shotgunners

[proven belfry]

so elites cant be supressed?

[halcyon creek]

I was today years old when I figured out that the aimed Assail is the Psyker going "I'm crushing your head" with his left hand

[fluid wren]

this is a good roll right?

[obtuse moth]

yea

[halcyon creek]

Seems pretty good. Perks to flakiac, I want a bit more cleave damage but that's like 97% perfect

[fluid wren]

i find that flak damage is pretty unnecessary but ye

[halcyon creek]

I'd believe it, what would you put on instead?

[fluid wren]

carapace is the real issue, which i think it handles well

maybe raw elite damage

but unarmored is good for hordes

[azure bridge]

ever accidentally pulled a daemonhost on regular damnation? cause that was me just now I felt soo bad for my team

thank the emperor we managed to kill it

[quasi junco]

I’ve done it before lol

[azure bridge]

I have never once been more thankful for understanding players and the kinetic deflection talent

[limber tartan]

Yea i have, i didn't see him i shot and he raised just in time to catch a bullet

[upbeat parcel]

Which shriek should I use with smite

Soul blaze or base damage

[azure bridge]

soul blaze the base damage has very poor scaling in higher dificulties

to give an idea, weakest enemy hp in damnation is 300

[upbeat parcel]

Oh

[azure bridge]

yeah doesn't even one shot em

soulblaze however is great

6 stacks is a good dot and shriek will spread it to a LOT of enemies,

[warm ledge]

Lvl 24 tried out Heresy difficulty. Is it just nearly impossible with randoms? I'm a Psyker with the Purgatory staff, Brain Rupture and Stun sheild. I'm not sure if it's just what I'm running but my team gets wiped 10 mins in, I'm usually the 3rd to go down and that's just because I get surrounded.

[prime elk]

damnation was easier because you tend to get people that at least know which way is forward

[quasi junco]

Heresy is harder cuz some noobs know better than to queue for damnation.

Hit 30 on Maluce than queue for damn

[fluid wren]

try running bubble instead of stun? ik the toughness regen has saved me many times before

[prime elk]

they're both good in their own ways, but i feel like the higher the difficulty, the more stun shield is helpful

[warm ledge]

Idk how I would handle the elites if not stun cause I'd be getting slammed

How do you get the Psyker hammer? Got suggested that but they didn't say how I should get it

[quasi junco]

Psykers don’t have a hammer

Or a shovel

[prime elk]

dodge them like any other class

psykers might be space wizard nerds, but they still have two good feet

[quasi junco]

Best defensive melee weapons are Illisi with deflector and that talent that builds quell on block.

Or the Dclaw Mk1.

I run Illisi. Love absorbing gunner rounds

[plucky flax]

So many specials.

[quasi junco]

Nice! What build you running?

[plucky flax]

Oh I cheated for this maelstrom and ran vet plasma.

It was extra snipers extra bursters.

But there were just too many specials of everything.

[quasi junco]

I wonder how my trauma/blaze build would fare there.

[plucky flax]

Full scoreboard.

Hrm snipers very far away might be an issue.

I picked plasma specifically because it 1 taps sniper and it penetrates walls.

Odd that we were struggling with specials even though 3 vets.

[late yew]

you could get shot from another angle

or may be you had equipped different deimos

[untold widget]

I wish I could run the Demon claw sword, but it's just so ass at killing anything other than horde trash, as soon as anything has any sort of armor it's useless

[quasi junco]

wtf it penetrates walls?

I never knew this

[plucky flax]

As well as having incredible cleave right now.

Voidstrike wishes it was plasma gun.

[quasi junco]

Three of the 4 staves blow up armor easily

[late yew]

Just use BB or your staff to deal with that

YOu could say exactly same about Illi

but it is still one of the best melees

[late yew]

also penetrates your mom bulwark's shield

[quasi junco]

lol I did know that

[late yew]

plasma requires ammo and has heat mechanic that damages you

so staves should be a bit weaker

[late yew]

but did you know it also penetrates your dad

[limber tartan]

YES

Finally got that Infernus

Now im just gonna scrape if of that piece of metal and slap it onto my gun

[plucky flax]

[azure bridge]

is the rending shockwave blessing any good?

[plucky flax]

Speaking of which I should try to make a laspistol for my zealot.

[ornate hamlet]

Yes

[ornate hamlet]

Damn tier 4 to

I'm stuck on tier 3

[near wyvern]

Yes but 1% of brittleness is worth 0.5% of rending

[limber tartan]

Yea, i've been told that you can get the baseline crit chance of laspistol to 45% which i currently have no clue how would i get it that high

I can push it to 38% soo i have no idea from where that 7% would come from

[desert mirage]

perkwise what should I go for

[thorn cedar]

20% base on Laspistol
5% from Crit Chance node
5% from Aura
20% from Scrier's Activation
5% as Laspistol perk

[desert mirage]

also I know surge is pants right now but

[midnight mesa]

i just had a thought after going down one too many times in damnation

do i take more damage by equipping warp rider?

[plucky rune]

why can this exist

[quasi junco]

Does Bone breaker aura work on staffs? Or just melee?

[blissful token]

I love playing support psyker rn. Things are so fucking chaotic and dangerous now that being able to take the pressure off the team with shields and stunlocks feels more valuable than ever.

[near wyvern]

Smite + Soulblaze talents + Warp Siphon to Warp Battery with Revolver is best support Psyker build, change my mind.

[idle bay]

We became ultimate clutch that prevents stealth vets and stealth zealots record thier clutch videos.

[blissful token]

I'll have to try that after work. I somehow got a near godroll revolver on my psyker from a gift lmao

[idle bay]

I also find it ironic how team instantly dies when runs ahead of me if i stop by to collect mats 🙂

That was probably a a ragers drop or crushers wave

[azure bridge]

tyvm

[midnight mesa]

fr does warp rider increase damage taken or just damage dealt i cant tell?

[blissful token]

Oh I despise speedrunners in quickplay. Like, bruh, thanks for leaving everyone to die and speeding to the last defense segment so fucking fast that you pull two bosses and 6 patrols with you

[near wyvern]

Make sure it has hand cannon and surgical, allows you to 3 tap crushers from far. Bonus points for +flak +Unarmoured to easily one shot all gunner elites and specials except mutants even at further ranges on a crit.

[blissful token]

Tbh, I'm getting great milage out of my Voidstrike staff. And mine has shit blessings lmao.

[idle bay]

And i'm still using Surge staff ....

[near wyvern]

Void is strong because it can literally deal with all enemies with reasonable efficiency

The only thing it struggles with is if you get overwhelmed by elites

But if you have smite as blitz

There goes that weakness

[blissful token]

Surge still does decent work from what I've seen weirdly. Someone was running it last night and it cleaned up for him

But idk what his build was

[near wyvern]

This one works with +Unarmoured +Flak and Warp Nexus on Surge staff. Never ult and have a horde clear melee.

Or don't since you can just smite

Illisi is one I recommend with this tho

[blissful token]

I got a hood Illisi last night and I'm falling in love with it

Good*

[idle bay]

Accidential Weakspot hits on Surge proc True Aim stacks and it extra crits 🙂

[ornate hamlet]

Hood illisi

[blissful token]

It's an Illisi but it lowers Tertium's property value

[near wyvern]

We need someone to Photoshop this one

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/hood-rat-stuff-gif-14886301

[idle bay]

still better than Illsi from Wish

[near wyvern]

Ali Express Illisi

Also known as Dclaw

[blissful token]

But anyway, I'm currently running full middle tree with an Illisi and a Voidstrike and it's done very well on Heresy and Damnation.

[near wyvern]

[proud hinge]

Okay thank you!

[ornate hamlet]

Anyway, what shapes do you change into?

[idle bay]

I'm secretly working on my Devil's claw to atually use...

[spice oar]

Yo druid class????

[blissful token]

Yes

Anyway, time for work. Have a good one all

[coarse bane]

Anyone have a really solid purg staff build?

[rigid rune]

yeah assail creeping flames and warp siphon works p well

[near wyvern]

You are a bit late my friend. It was amazing in Patch 13.

[idle bay]

I still want to tray those crazy parry boss-killings on it

[ornate hamlet]

He shapeshifted into a worker

[digital narwhal]

Stats could be better, but

it'll do.

[near wyvern]

Pretty much any build works with purgatus but it's on a bit weaker spot at the moment, mainly because it lost the ability to stagger scab ragers and crushers.

[night crater]

When?

[limber tartan]

Would be nice if fatshark did something with the Stability stat on laspistol since it does not do anything

Laspistol already has pinpoint accuracy and no recoil

[digital narwhal]

No, let's leave it as is.
One more dump stat means it's easier to get a good one.

[limber tartan]

Stability has no effect on it no matter how bad, the gun effectively comes with only 4 stats instead of 5

[static needle]

Did they fix surge staff?

[digital narwhal]

No

[rigid rune]

the EP or limb hit bug?

though I'm not sure surge hitting limbs is a bug it might be intended? it's not unusable in it's current state still viable for auric

[spice oar]

Idk it feels icky for me

[clear heath]

they said they would fix it

[spice oar]

Especially with the gibbing splosuons not being guaranteed

[coarse bane]

Got ya.

[coarse bane]

Thanks.

[desert mirage]

Minus the sprint bit this looks good

[spiral crater]

всем привет есть русские ?

[ornate hamlet]

Flaws aside, it's flawless

[spice oar]

Man I hope we get new weapons

[plucky flax]

Hrm assail recharges so slow now I'm struggling to build peril without a staff.

[prime elk]

use rmb

[summer prairie]

it's ok if it's not an enhanced blitz maelstorm

[plucky flax]

Tru I'm too used to left click spam.

[prime elk]

yeah they've been mainly nerfing left click spam

[idle bay]

Awkward. I found godrolled DClaw in my stash (just re-roll perks - blessings are great)
Buuuuuuut it's MK I

[azure bridge]

Damnation is a rush

this a good trauma staff?

I havn't changed anything on it yet

[rigid rune]

rending is ok but you want to swap sustained fire for flurry

replace carapace with maniacs maybe?

[cursive solar]

hello my brothers how are we on this glorious day?

did anything changed on this last patch for us?

[hardy stump]

Help my friend dosnt know how to vent assail and goes down all the time

[rigid rune]

surge staff has a 3/5? to do less damage now

[rigid rune]

if peril is above 90% don't use assail ✅

the audio cue for hitting 90% is loud too so that should help

[azure bridge]

would i be remiss to replace both blessings? I was thinking blazing spirit and warp nexus

[rigid rune]

you could I don't have blazing spirit though so I don't want you to either

[ornate hamlet]

Critical peril should be 97%

[azure bridge]

I see, I shall keep quiet on the five staves i've found it on

[unique sand]

should i replace terrifying with warp nexus

[rigid rune]

yes

purg has only two blessings

[unique sand]

which perk should i change then

[rigid rune]

barrage

the only two blessings are flurry and nexus

[unique sand]

then perk wise

replace unyielding with something?

[rigid rune]

that's fine

[ornate hamlet]

Flak

[unique sand]

or would infested be better

[hardy stump]

should you use assail or force staff vs crushers / bosses? afaik assail dosnt do dmg against those

[digital narwhal]

Use Scrier's

Nah but fr

Scrier's is great for keeping Peril high with Assail

[sudden panther]

Does anyone know if the trauma staff or purg staff can hit weak spots?

[lone yarrow]

staff

well

staff for crushers (not purg tho)

and melee or staff for bosses depending on what does better dps in your kit

idk how well assail does into monstros and assassination bosses

[near wyvern]

I believe this was around patch 13, completely unnecessary nerf if you ask me

[clear heath]

was it ever actually able to stagger crushers?

never used purg staff that much but i don't remember it having that much stagger

[glossy ember]

bwoohhhhhhhh

big wooshing sound

it's even worse when you get that sound multiple times in a row cuz of scrier

BWOO BWOO BWOO yes i get it chaos in my head

[stuck bridge]

im disappointed that this left staff didnt throw me a bone here with blessings or perks

[glossy ember]

how big is the crit rate diff between those two

[rugged hare]

ey I gots a question

[sudden trellis]

consider the following: peril is stored in the balls.

[rugged hare]

do the refinements on the surge force staff apply to the secondery charge action?

or just the primary action?

Like if I put +25% dmg against flak on it, would that count for the charge attack

[sudden trellis]

all damage, including the cool bo-staff special

[rugged hare]

aight thanks mate

[sudden panther]

Does anyone know if the trauma staff or purg staff can hit weak spots?

[plucky flax]

Can't decide if I like agri or columbus infantry autogun more.

[primal plume]

I'll be honest, I'm really glad I picked female savant as my psykers voice. The other voices are..... yeah...

[azure bridge]

so out of curiosity, how important is a health boost curio on a psyker? Would I be better served wtih two toughness, one stamina? Or one stamina, toughtness and health?

[stuck bridge]

i should test

im gonna have to leave the perks as is right

[digital narwhal]

I like Columnus 'cause it's got higher DPS and better movement speed.
Simple as.

[sudden trellis]

cop-out answer: whatever feels best for your playstyle / actual answer: toughnessmaxing seems like a very easy ticket to success

[digital narwhal]

Even if Agri is better at range, that's what I have Assail or BB for.

[glossy ember]

you can just check the stats

[plucky flax]

I did 2 histg game and got like identical damage dealt pretty much.

So they seem to be kinda neck and neck.

[azure bridge]

gotcha

[digital narwhal]

Oh, also, I've done this with Columnus IAG + Assail.
I haven't been able to come close with Agri IAG + Assail yet.

[plucky flax]

Columbus: 736k in 30 mins
Agri: 732k in 33 mins

[plush jacinth]

L

[plucky flax]

[azure bridge]

behold

[glossy ember]

i run 2x health 1x stamina but i'm not sure it truly matters

[plucky flax]

How long was this game? 😮

[steel flame]

Finally, a cause I can get behind

[digital narwhal]

iirc, somewhere around 35 minutes.
Give or take a few.

[plucky flax]

Big damage.

[digital narwhal]

I didn't see the exact time, but it was between 30 to 40

Also, it was on the Carnival.

And that map has fuckin' mega spawns

so that probably caused me to be able to go as high as I did.

[plucky flax]

Ever since I switched to this overproof scoreboard addon the damage is sorta low compared to the default one.

[digital narwhal]

So far, I've gotten three 1+ million damage games with Columnus IAG on Carnival.

[plucky flax]

[steel flame]

I've done it lads, after 900 hours I finally leveled a second class to 30

[plucky flax]

What class?

[rigid rune]

damn highest I've ever gotten was about 700k what was the rest of the team doing lol?

[digital narwhal]

Catching up.

[steel flame]

Knife, laspistol weapon specialist stealth vet

[near wyvern]

I have all 4, veteran is the only one I am missing the 100 matches penance. Have all the rest of the penances.

[digital narwhal]

Columnus IAG + Combat Knife with a Gun Psyker build gives you nutty fast movement speed, and so I was absolutely zooming and sweeping up enemies as fast as I could.

[plucky flax]

Not zealot D:

[near wyvern]

And one point in DD!

[digital narwhal]

I was using Empowered Psionics actually.

[steel flame]

I hate leveling, it's painful being locked out of auric and forced to play with..... savages

[near wyvern]

That one point in DD makes you go wroom and is so funny to dive into a gunner pack

[digital narwhal]

They should let IAGs get Run N Gun

[near wyvern]

It's fine, just carry and when you get to level 20 queue up with a friend to auric damnation and play a CC or utility build

[digital narwhal]

I want a Run N Gun + DumDum Columnus IAG

[near wyvern]

No point, cause you still want to sprint slide non stop and you can fire during the slides

[steel flame]

It's really funny though, stealth vet with knife triggers the fuck out of heresy players

[near wyvern]

Just constantly holding down LMB will deplete your ammo

[digital narwhal]

Yeah but running full speed without needing to slide is funny

Just run around, constantly shooting and triggering Empathic Evasion

[mortal marsh]

Got my current Purgatus Staff off Melk a few days back and he has an upgrade on it now, should I upgrade or wait for one with max burn?

[rigid rune]

you need at least 76% burn to get maxium stacks

[mortal marsh]

Ah ok, rip then

[glossy ember]

i'd get it just to get warp flurry 4 since you don't have either nexus or flurry in your blessing library

nexus you can get from your current staff once you get a better one

[cursive solar]

as assail what do I use against armored elites?

[rigid rune]

A staff or melee weapon

[mortal marsh]

Also what build pairs best for Purgatus? Warp Charges for max damage output?

[rigid rune]

creeping flames on venting shriek + warp siphon works well for me

[cursive solar]

any specific ones? or all are good?

[plucky flax]

Wake me up when surge is fixed

[glossy ember]

next week

for sure

as in next month

[rigid rune]

Dueling sword Mark 4, Force sword Deimos, Trauma staff, Surge staff etc

[near wyvern]

Any melee with uncanny strike is good, for staves trauma and void are good options, surge is currently bugged but probs viable against armour again once the next hotfix comes through

[rigid rune]

don't listen to them surge is viable it just doesn't oneshot gunners/flamers consistently

[cursive solar]

so when armored elite, I pull surge and spam the charged attack

[near wyvern]

Viable against armour

[rigid rune]

Don't sleep on pskyer melee deimos and DS mk4 both hit mutie oneshot breakpoints

[mortal marsh]

Staff or Surge Blitz?

[near wyvern]

I wouldn't call 4-6 HTK very viable in dealing with a crusher pack

[plucky flax]

Staff. The blitz is called smite.

[rigid rune]

surge still staggers crushers

[near wyvern]

That blitz is called smite

[glossy ember]

viable sure

but it feels awful needing two shots when you needed 1 prepatch

[near wyvern]

Two of them. Hooray..

[mortal marsh]

3Head moment

What's wrong with the Surge Staff currently?

[glossy ember]

randomly targets limbs

[mortal marsh]

I'm assuming that makes it do far less damage?

[glossy ember]

like half

if you hit a limb

[rigid rune]

like 70% less damage on leg/arm

[near wyvern]

Crit on a crusher leg is less than normal hit on the body

[glossy ember]

one rmb

[rigid rune]

don't worry about it :)))))))))))))))))

[glossy ember]

[near wyvern]

Do you have +flak on it?

[glossy ember]

that was +flak, but I don't remember if it was also +unarmoured

[near wyvern]

Time to stack some malefic momentum

[glossy ember]

"yeah surge staff is fine bro just need 6ws 5pt 5mm "

[glossy ember]

pretty sure i couldn't one shot shotgunners with unarmoured

[rigid rune]

just shoot them again 5head

[glossy ember]

but my ttk......

[ornate hamlet]

sus

[near wyvern]

Don't worry, it still stuns that one and his friend but not the 6 others next to you

So you have time

[glossy ember]

fun fact: blitz cancel removes the CC aspect

[near wyvern]

Tru

[warm ledge]

Best Psyker Staff? Void?

[near wyvern]

But more than halves the TTK

[near wyvern]

Define best

[rigid rune]

big number staff is trauma,

[near wyvern]

We should get an auto mod bot to do this for me

[rigid rune]

or just link the pskyer guide

[near wyvern]

It's like you go into a car shop and say "I want the best car you have"

[glossy ember]

limb randomizer: doubles ttk
blitz cancel: halves ttk

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

[near wyvern]

Are you looking for a sports car? Off road? Transport logistics?

[warm ledge]

For handling hords/weak boys. I have the Brain Rupture for dmg

[rigid rune]

trauma/purg/void

[near wyvern]

I guess I should since I wrote it so don't have to repeat myself all the time

[glossy ember]

have you considered changing your name to "check the pins"

or "pingex"

[near wyvern]

With brain rupture you definitely want to go with trauma

[rigid rune]

oh you did? it's been very helpful for me thanks

[near wyvern]

Ping-Ex might send the wrong impression

And @warm ledge let's be honest here, Brain Rupture is shitty DPS only use it if you can't reach with your Trauma

[warm ledge]

Whaaa

I take chunks of health

[near wyvern]

But with EP it makes really good and safe gunner clear

[warm ledge]

Elites aren't getting anywhere near me

[near wyvern]

And you are playing at what difficulty?

[warm ledge]

Malice as a default, just getting into Heresy but I'm told to just skip Heresy, play Malice til Lvl 30 and go Damnation

Lvl 25

[near wyvern]

Siblings, who is gonna tell our fresh sibling what's gonna happen to BR at Damnation?

[fading iris]

Hello fellow step-siblings, how things going on this giant washing machine called "waiting for bug fixes"?

[near wyvern]

@warm ledge while it works, enjoy it, but just know that on higher difficulties, it's gonna fall off hard

[warm ledge]

So go shock and keep the stun sheild?

Shock ability not shock staff

Didn't really like shock staff

[cursive solar]

revolver seem good against elites

[near wyvern]

You can keep BR if you use Trauma, it's really good for rooms where you get pinned down by gunners if you take the EP keystone.

[near wyvern]

Surge staff ("shock staff") is bugged right now so don't form your final opinion on it yet

Smite and Assail both work and should be taken to compliment your melee and ranged options.

Psykers have the rare ability of making many builds where you have no weaknesses so that's the way to go, pick your Blitz to compliment your melee and ranged.

For the Ult, all of them work, it all depends what kind of build you want to go with. Gaze is a bit of clunky to use but it can be used successfully, just less easier to do so than the others.

[cursive solar]

what is DS?

[near wyvern]

Brain Rupture is currently in a very weak spot because it has hard time hitting one shots on the higher difficulties, but with Trauma it can be made to work, against elite gunners.

[fluid knot]

Duelling Sword

[stuck bridge]

hm i thought crit was the dump stat on the surge staff

[near wyvern]

It is as long as it's not super low

Surge enjoys more flatter stats tbh

[stuck bridge]

^ like that low?

56% vs 80%

[warm ledge]

I'll go Smite, Assail just felt like it always made me lose attention to my warp meter, whatever it's called

[near wyvern]

That's still fine

[stuck bridge]

it's only a 46 damage difference

[near wyvern]

Just as a reference, on a MG Ia lasgun, +10% crit damage is less than +2% damage increase... Crit damage bonuses are ass unless they are like +100% (deadly accurate).

[stuck bridge]

ah

understood

[near wyvern]

Excellent choice

https://youtu.be/yrOmLUfNMw4

[stuck bridge]

im gonna have to swap the blessings

[warm ledge]

Mistype

Smite with what staff*

[graceful grotto]

If BR is weak atm what do you suggest? I haven't played in a bit, is shield a good choice now?

[near wyvern]

Void or guns.

And surge once it's fixed

[warm ledge]

I hate fighting over ammo so I'll go staff

Also guns didn't really appeal to me

[near wyvern]

Assail and Smite are both perfectly good options.

Fur ult, Fire Shout for damage, Stun shield if your team likes to camp in corners with no escape, bubble if your team likes to stand in the middle of hallways for no reason, gaze if you want to go on a melee rampage or play goofy transfer peril void.

[near wyvern]

If you have an ammo vet on your team and use Columnus IAG or a revolver you never need any ammo pick ups (on higher difficulties where elite & specials are common).

@warm ledge in case you want to see what gun Psyker looks like at high level here is a Patch 14 example. The build still works after the Assail nerf but the peril build up combo is 3 LMB throws and one RMB throw to avoid going short of shards.

https://youtu.be/WSoZl63Gxi4

That is quick play by the way so no pre-made just pure randoms

I don't need many ammo pick ups

[glossy ember]

battle royale

[fierce crest]

Do you use the spreading flames talent

[near wyvern]

For smite, totally

[fierce crest]

Or just the shriek and WnR

[near wyvern]

Perilous combustion, Wildfire, Creeping Flames

Inner Tranquility and Warp Battery as Well

[fierce crest]

Yeah wildfire

That's what it's called

[near wyvern]

Uhh and Battle Meditation

[graceful grotto]

Is Melee Psyker actually that viable? I noticed the Aetheneum as well, going to dive into it, thanks for the info and taking the time to write such a detailed guide ^^

[sour bison]

need help with talents on revolver smite build

can somebody link it?

[near wyvern]

Melee psyker is less DPS for more risk than a staff psyker because of how our talents are built.

You are welcome, sibling!

Doesn't make it unviable but just a not as optimal option

[near wyvern]

Be careful of your positioning as you have little toughness regen. It is also ok to exchange that Inner Tranquility for Essence Harvest to gain more toughness regen, especially when not playing Auric Maelstrom missions

[warm ledge]

Is the shout able to stagger elites like the ragers?

[wise sundial]

Look at this beauty. Just need to replace Terrifying Barrage with Blazing Spirit

[near wyvern]

Yes, also opens up Bulwark shields at high perils. The stagger strength scales based on how much peril you have.

[sour bison]

thx

[fierce crest]

Even without the extra talents?

[near wyvern]

Yes, the stagger is from the base ult (even with no talents at all)

[warm ledge]

I might go revolver cause I remembered I hate the primary fire for the majority of staffs

[near wyvern]

The LMB is great for staves, especially when quell cancelled

[plucky flax]

The most op talent.

[near wyvern]

Bugged to hell but still just enough to send smite to the moon

[plucky flax]

Me when I steal the other psyker's warpfire and got more soulblaze damage than range damage with blaze trauma.

[fierce crest]

I tested it and couldn't even get it to spread consistently. Do you know what it actually does?

[limber tartan]

Oh yea wait

How many stacks of soulblaze can an enemy have

[fierce crest]

Depends on the source

[near wyvern]

It's because whoever makes the first stack will get the ownership (damage and buffs calculated based on them and for them)

Since blaze trauma reaches longer than purge you get much and they left overs.

[plucky flax]

Depend on the application but can be up to 31.

[near wyvern]

Yes, check Atheneum 📌

[warm ledge]

Does smite stagger elites as well?

[fierce crest]

Aye, captain

[limber tartan]

But would the stacks be counted seperately if they came from different players or would they be in the same pile

[plucky flax]

Other guy was playing smite voidstrike and he was casting creeping flame early to boost his damage using me actually.

[near wyvern]

Staggers all except bosses. For Ogryn sized enemies you have to smite for a couple seconds before it kicks in.

[plucky flax]

I notice cos he started casting shriek instantly and only apply like 3 or 4 soulblaze stacks.

Man didn't wait til high peril.

[near wyvern]

But scoreboard!

[warm ledge]

The heavily armored guys it works on?

[clear heath]

shrieking to steal soulblaze credit from purg staff users

[warm ledge]

They just run melee I forget their name

It was veri sad.

#psyker-class message

[hot zephyr]

What are the "best" cuiro perks these days? I have this but trying to decide what to refine. I'm thinking keep the block eff and change the resistances

[limber tartan]

Stamina

FUll stamina

Perks are mostly just personal preferance

[near wyvern]

The hero they needed but didn't deserve

[fluid knot]

I think Gunner resist has gone back up the roster of late given they increased the knockback again

[plucky flax]

I know. When it's multiple creeping flame psykers in a team you know they gonna trip over each others for the scoreboard.

[fading iris]

You just need 3 of these

[limber tartan]

Wait

THere are bonuses for specific resources ?

[near wyvern]

Yeah might bump it to B tier I guess

[glossy ember]

75 base rating will be 2 stamina btw

[near wyvern]

Altho nah

[warm ledge]

Real, I get irritated being left behind cause nobody picks up Plastasteels or the other rare material

[fading iris]

only ordos but I will meme the plasteel one into existence ++ SPREAD THE WORD ++

[clear heath]

ngl i get a thrill out of stealing soulblaze credit too
although i'll at least try to use it in a reasonable way, and wait till i get 6 stack

[near wyvern]

Even if it you have gunner resist

[warm ledge]

Also secondary objs

[near wyvern]

You still gonna get stun locked to death

[fierce crest]

An extra second to drop a shield

[near wyvern]

If you can through the stagger

[hot zephyr]

I'm thinking I go +5% toughness and +30% toughness regen speed

[fluid knot]

You can do certainly, but it gives you more time so that you might kill/someone else might kill them

[near wyvern]

Fine I will bump it to B to make you guys happy

[plucky flax]

If people cast it when it's high peril for 6 stacks then fair game. But when they prematurely cast it to apply 1 - 2 stacks just for the scoreboard damage it's

[plucky flax]

Me every game

It's hard out here.

[warm ledge]

[plucky flax]

It's a Jojo's reference.

[shadow onyx]

[spice oar]

ik ik but it mentions peril, meaning this should be an action on a force weapon?

and ik it is

but im just wondering if its shown

[fluid knot]

I am still none the wiser

[plucky flax]

It's manga/anime.

[clear heath]

well it wouldn't be listed under special action for psyker weapons. dunno if it shows up anywhere else

[fluid knot]

Ahhhh gotcha

Guess you're not into that.

[clear heath]

what did you have in mind for hammer?

[clear heath]

oh

[warm ledge]

Never heard of it

[limber tartan]

Its nice, but its like less than 20 fps

There are moments where its unironically painfull to watch

[shy warren]

Pariah Nexus is good too, Hammer and Bolter has the animation "style choice" of an animation with less animation.

The name of my Ogryn is Thiccnatius-Maxis

[sour bison]

[mortal marsh]

What should I dump on Dueling Sword? Cleave?

[ornate hamlet]

The uhhhh

[rigid rune]

how could you do this to me brunt

[ornate hamlet]

What were the stats again?

[plucky flax]

Cleave is not too important. If you want to horde clear with it you'd take rampage blessing and that'll offset any low cleave modifier.

[mortal marsh]

Damage, Mobility, Cleave, Finesse and Penetration

Mk IV specifically

[ornate hamlet]

Mobility, then

The cleave stat is a bit odd

[mortal marsh]

Thought you'd want Mobility for the big dodges

Or is it already good enough by base

[ornate hamlet]

Try to get a balanced one anyway because dueling swords have funny dodges

One of the problems with cleave is that the mk5 has equivalent cleave damage and doesn't use a stat

I don't know if I missed something or Fatshark did an oopsie

[whole oxide]

the difference between 60 and 70 mobility, you'd need a microscope to discern the difference

[idle bay]

@plucky flax for some reason algorythm started to recommend me your video and not just in general section but in alerts

[plucky flax]

[idle bay]

Translation: Notifications. For you.

[plucky flax]

[idle bay]

It knows!

Abominable Google AI

Also i do run similar keystone-less plasma build.

[plucky flax]

I hope they make the tree better.

So expensive to go down to keystone.

[idle bay]

They will do meta-shake-up every couple of months. Deliberately turning a fuctional skill tree of chosen class in nurgl's poop. And fixing one they broke before.

[near wyvern]

I have them max level and a couple loadouts each but not to the extent I do Psyker

[wanton sandal]

666.6k

[clear heath]

Do you run true level mod pygex? wondering what your level is on psyker

[stuck bridge]

https://i.imgur.com/QtYjJGL.png sorry to keep askin about this staff but, should I swap WF 3 -> WF 4 + TB 3 -> WN 4, or ignore WF 3 -> WF 4 and do 8% Ranged damage -> 25% maniac instead

[rigid rune]

get nexus and 25% maniac

[clear heath]

i'd change terrifying barrage to nexus

[wanton sandal]

flurry 4 and replace barrage with wn

or yeah nexus and maniac

[stuck bridge]

TB will go to nexus no matter what

[wanton sandal]

idk if +10 elite has any breakpoints

[stuck bridge]

this is my other staff btw

https://i.imgur.com/7qgoxBS.png

i wonder if i should just stick with this one

[clear heath]

hard to test breakpoints right now with how it's currently bugged lol

that's a nice staff

[wanton sandal]

better stats on this one tbh, tho might consider running solidity for the extra quell speed

[stuck bridge]

oke

took me a long time to get two surges that i honestly have had a hard time deciding between

i was hoping they pushed hotfix 2 yesterday but ig not

[wanton sandal]

i've been running this once since forever, but MAN i hate that poxwalker damage

gonna go back to maining surge once the hotfix is pushed

rn im running trauma

[clear heath]

no flak perk? man i would just make a new one

[quasi junco]

these are the only mods worth a damn right ?

[clear heath]

wait you mained surge

and you didn't make a better staff?

[wanton sandal]

trust me i've been rolling but i've had bad luck in finding a new one

[clear heath]

true peril is really nice for psyker

[wanton sandal]

next year fs needs to push an update that lets you tinker with the base stats of a weapon tbh

[quasi junco]

Isn't that just showing it in decimal form?

[wanton sandal]

dont forget the weapon attachment mod

[clear heath]

it makes it show how it actually ticks

[wanton sandal]

having freedom to tinker with my weapon's appearance is VERY cool

[clear heath]

because it ticks in chunks

[clear heath]

not gradually

so you can see the actual moment your peril loses a chunk during a quell

the display actually lies to you normally

[quasi junco]

oh thats neat, I'll have to give that a try

[wanton sandal]

how bad is it

[fading iris]

classic grimdark

[wanton sandal]

bc so far i've been running without it

also, rate this surge

[clear heath]

lemme see if i have footage of it

[wanton sandal]

saddens me that the damage is 71% but 377 is a nice roll

[clear heath]

Look at how it just jumps down when i quell.
Thanks to the mod, i can time my cast after i do 2 ticks of quelling instead of having to wait for the number to settle

[wanton sandal]

interesting

[clear heath]

also if you like the peril gauge mod, it has the same functionality as true peril so you don't need both

[wanton sandal]

yeah i saw true peril was deprecated and it was redirecting to peril gauge

gonna try out peril gauge

[tawny pebble]

ooohohoooo finally upgraded my Trauma staff and I see the appeal now

[quasi junco]

something odd going on here

[fading iris]

get hacked!

[quasi junco]

lol im so fucking stupid

[clear heath]

Oh yeah, another mod that's really good is crosshair remap. Lets you change crosshairs to any existing crosshair in the game.
More revelant for gun users though. A lot of guns have really bad crosshairs. Some don't even have one when you aim down sights

Like for some unholy reason, this is plasma gun's crosshair

and you can swap it to a psyker staff crosshair and the charge bars actually work

[quasi junco]

Oh I like this, I play zealot and vet occasionally

[clear heath]

plasma default crosshair is so dogshit it's insane

the thing is pinpoint accurate

but has no dot in the middle

[wanton sandal]

@clear heath yeah, trying out the peril gauge mod, it feels a lot better than the vanilla peril interp

modders making the game better again

[quasi junco]

wtf this ogyrn has a welding helmet, never seen that one before

[wanton sandal]

not the best of cosmetics for him, especially considering it's flipped up and therefore 50% less cool

[idle aurora]

dogshit cosmetic, like actually one of the worst, lol

[wanton sandal]

ogryn kind of gets shafted when it comes to good cosmetics

[idle aurora]

It just looks like metal plate sticking from his 4 head

[desert mirage]

yet again my level 5 psyker does better than 15 to 19's on a squad..

[wanton sandal]

psyker is pretty powerful when played correctly

[idle aurora]

I liked the black trench coat and krieg torso

[wanton sandal]

yeah i dig the krieg cosmetics for ogryn and the recon battlegear

[idle aurora]

waiting for this one, will never change it

[wanton sandal]

although he's finally gonna get the splash screen cosmetics in an upcoming update

[wanton sandal]

fatshark sanctioned no shirt cosmetic?

darktide stocks rise by 100%

[idle aurora]

Ye, lol, I can't wait to see all oggs just run around like this

[grand shoal]

hows rending shockwave?

[rigid rune]

No idea if it does anything tbh

[grand shoal]

is that an actual skin?

[fading iris]

https://tenor.com/view/bambam-aquiébodybuilder-porra-bodybuilder-porra-gif-18139979

[idle aurora]

Yes, sits in the files

There is so much cosmetic stuff just ready to go

[fading iris]

I hope the next class is a buffer/healer or an Dreadnought

[tender terrace]

uncanny to unstable power and specialist to flak? or slaughter 4

[ornate hamlet]

Do not remove uncanny from this most holy weapon

[tender terrace]

o really

[ornate hamlet]

I says switch the specialist to maniac

[quasi junco]

I'm liking the scoreboard

attacks blocked should not count towards a team score

what the?

[glossy ember]

could keep both blessings or keep carapace and upgrade slaughterer

[quasi junco]

why isn't downs and deaths part of the scoreboard?

kinda important yes?

[sharp spruce]

The only reason I want a scoreboard and it isn't on it.

[prime elk]

scoreboard stats are pretty whack

rescued three dudes, rezzed 9 times

but some guy had a way higher team score than me because he picked up some plasteel

[sharp spruce]

Maybe they made the scoreboard whack on purpose just to mess with everyone

[azure bridge]

Hey, is the psyker chainsword any good?

[dense zinc]

Anyone need help with the psyker private match penance?

[prime elk]

it's not psyker-specific, but yeah, it's good

does everything

[azure bridge]

I have a deimos for serious stuff, and I was thinking of trying out the chanisword for the memes

[vagrant cedar]

damnnnn, hard map that carnival on damnation

[late yew]

ok, i underestimated how bad surge now is
