Need to get level 4 warp nexus, but this’ll work for blaze trauma yeah?
I thought it was seaweed?
anesthetic, yes, very real
yes
would say stat is bricked, 78-80 on charge and radius
Ask Yoda
it is also legitimately used in conjunction with therapy to treat depression as well
same
Same
same
yeah it'll work fine until you get a better one
The only drug I take is the warp... with my Beloved 
don't forget the the constant voices at 100% peril
no
Good thing we've liberated a bunch of them in the Carnival map
With any luck, we'll be able to use drugs in-game
Just boring stims
omg thats true
Not even coke
Is there some big breakpoint at 78, or is that your way of saying "having very high is important"? E.g. what would a 77 be missing?
according to the datamined stuff, yes
pharma stims are not boring
I do NOT need to see zealot hopped on experimental chaos drugs
Breaking in to steal a bunch of heretics illicit caffeine supplements
there is hints to an stim to pick up and use, assuming that will be a thing on part 2, maybe the bois managed to analyze the nurgle stims and do something for us
yeah but then they're going to give crushers 400% more hp
Orange slices ult so the vet can stay standing longer than 30 seconds
well, saying they are nurgle stims is an assumption, could be a Imperium thing that got a case of Strategically Transfer Equipments to Alternative Locations 
If it’s gonna be anything like Vermintide then-
Heal Stim, Attack Speed Stim, Ability Regen Stim, and +Power Stim(?)
Darktide version of chaos wastes would reeeallly boost the playercount
I haven’t played VT2 in a whiiiiile though so I could be wrong about the Draught buffs
(Can someone fact check me?)
no no, you're right.
So uh…
what perks do you guys like on purgatus
Attack Speed Stim + Scrier’s Gaze with a Columnus IAG (if it works with guns)
Crit and

Crit or Unyielding + Flak
there was that datamined info a really long time ago for a buff system to buy a buff for the following mission and one of the things I recall was an extra wound for the next mission. don't remember what else. not sure if this will be their version of that system or not
smite seems kinda weak. Wat do? (.-.)
cosmectic change that ended up not being cosmetic
fix is in the works
oof, rip electric psyker powers
this is what I was thinking of - https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/zwr4zw/looks_like_theres_a_boon_system_coming/
there is a build that you can look up that uses the current smite status as a plus
surge staff RMB tho... still usable but is borked and require planning
Can has link?
I don't have it, don't know if is on pins
when in doubt, shout for @near wyvern 3 times and he will appear with a build
unless he is offline, thus breaking this bad joke 
Dx
I dunno, sounds like some chaos heresy.
Instructions unclear, summoned spawn of nurgle by chanting Pygex 3 times. Wat do?
Frolick in the Grandfather's Garden obviously
Can't Grandfather's Garden is closed for maintenance after Big E used Rupert Girlyman set it on fire.
sounds like me when i try to help out 😔
honestly, taking on a mission to go into the garden to recover the lingering flames of the emperor sounds dope
can you toast a marshmallow on said lingering flame? what would the result be?
a nice snack

New Look in the Shop for the icon that Zealots wave around. Marshmallow on a Stick, lit with the emperors flames.
warp mallow
whatre ideal deimos blessings, do you just light attack with it or is it just the l1 stab?
a psyker sword that does soulblaze damage instead of warp damage!
goes well with emprah crackers
Uncanny strike is a must imo, the charge hit on a weakspot gives 4 out of 5 charges with the one hit. I use deflector as my other because I'm scared of bullets
does anyone know the ratio for finesse damage buffs? like is this 110% headshot damage when fully stacked?
or is it 110% to the bonus in the finesse stat
or something else
Is there a particular reason why some non-melee psyker builds have a Dueling Sword instead of a force sword?
Like if the build doesn't really use melee anyway
i use it for crushers/maulers/bosses
The Dueling sword can stun lock even crushers by comboing the special + Heavy poke
with purge staff
Oh that I didn't know
Thanks!
Just gotta be aiming for the head obviously but the poke + special will stun and actually put out some good damage against them too
Ash wastes
oh shit wrong hive
ok so.. its feels like everytime i dont take bubble, my team gets shredded by ranged enemies/snipers
is it just mandatory for pubs?
No I use shriek only.
thats what im using rn
shriek should solve all your shooter issues
if nothing else, I stack toughness so I can often just trade with shooters very well
esp if you spam dodges
against ranged enemies, just feather your spacebar
HRM
you get the same amount of ranged i-frames even if the cooldown between them is longer and the distance you go is shorter
Dodge on space bar??
whats the dump stat on a Trauma staff?
No real dump stat but warp resistance can be lowest at around 60 something.
dodge and crouch on spacebar. Slide with one button
gotta take jump somewhere else though
dodge and crouch?
and grox juice
yessss
depend on what trauma staff are you making
Jesus, the height isn't a joke, had to recreate one of my characters because I put low height to be hehe so quirky, but the camera is weird lol
What get changed here and to what? Pregog or block eff?
I made my psyker big because pyskers are cannonically swole on warp power
there is this mod if you're on pc https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/206
there's a good sweet spot height for easy voidstrike thunderclaps
slightly short of max
On PC, but I don't use mods
thanks anyway
haven't bothered because height in melee is fantastic
it actually changes your height it's not local or something you need to keep. so you can just use it and ditch it if you wanted to. sure thing
some people love deflector, but i dont play with it anymore
you would want uncanny for all forcesword
I personally love deflector. It just clutched me a game, too
IIRC consensus was that you didn't need Deflector if you were good prior to patch 13, but I don't know how that's shifted since
I have one where it's locked and I quite enjoy it
but it doesn't really save you from any number of gunners, you just die slower
I also don't want to burn it off this one because it's the only iv I've gotten
been trying to pick up Uncanny IV for a while and Hardon keeps saying nope
making NNN real easy
you can keep it on, maybe extract it in the future
a zealot killed a poxburster by meleeing it, and somehow thought it was my fault
he then proceeded to shoot two red barrels at my feet while I was trying to manage a horde lol
I was just raging about teammates and poxbursters
even illisi mkv blaze?
there's a lot more shitbirds around recently, idk why
I'm like top 1% and I still need my deflector crutch. 
Also on that note, I have this, which also apparently has my only uncanny. Might give this a go. I'm assuming maniac/carapace for perks
don't think it has to be crutch, having it lets you play differently but I'm not top 1% 
People who use crutches, need crutches. I've never known anyone to just want to use them because they are armpit destroyers.
I don't feel the need for uncanny on my illisi at all.
I use it against horde and ragers, maulers and the special activation is more than adequate.
Noted. I have this in the oven, so I was curious
hadron pls. lets trade pls. hadron pls. How is this efeciency
hows the MK2dueling sword?
ok, pales vs the 4
It's good but Mk 4 outshines it.
mildly better horde clear but more annoying to use as a boar spear against muties
I like the Mk 2. The lights make hordes easier to manage but the the heavies are not quite as strong.
You have to chain heavies and specials to keep the stabs going because one of the heavy 2 is vangaurd.
but ill have to try it
ahhh
The mk 4 stabs are easier to do for sure. It's a trade of.
Totally work leveling
If you like the move set.
Or just want an mk 2
what exactly is Anticipation doing with +50% dodge "duration", is it travel distance? the i-frames?
Mk 2 looks way snazzier than Mk 4 thouhg
Mk 4 looks like it was ripped from a lego set
agree to disagree
I like the mk4's engravings
Idk if it's been fixed this patch or not, but it's been bugged / not working.
o fr
the only reason I don't use the default mk4 skin for those nice engravings is because the mk5 model looks like it hurts a lot more when you pull it out of a heretic
the explanation from what I remember is that there's three parts to a dodge and anticipation is basically doing nothing
I swapped the blade for an Illisi blade with weapon customization mod, makes it feels like a backsword
basically nothing against melee and very very little for ranged
rip i been usin it like a fool
+1 dodge grindset
is Empathic Evasion worth running on anything besides Purgatus?
the hilarity is that psyker absolutely doesn't need an extra dodge when all of our meta melees have at least 5 dodges 
i mean really yeah that is why i love it lol, that extra dodge is so nice when ur using voidstrike staff
its obscurus so, im not sure
I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine it's good for anything that shoots quickly and crits a lot.
Laspistol, assail, and maybe columnus might with with empathic evasion.
Feel like trauma is too slow. Maybe void?
if stacked for crit. Void is still slow even with flurry stacks tho.
block efficiency
you already have +efficiency from Deflector, and presumably are running Kinetic Deflection anyway
5 more to go! 
I feel sorry for your wallet
its almost always been my goto melee on non melee builds, as you can whip it out and 1-2 shot most enemies, namely mutants and carapace enemies
all those dockets and all that plasteel, to the wind
T_T
If you're looking for t3 blessing only go to blue.
May blazing spirit find you. 🙏
Just so you know, blazing spirit is only T3 on staves.
surge staff
FS give t4 blazing spirit 
you need...
instant BIS
Oh RIGHT. I must be so upset by what happened to surge that I deleted it from my memory as an option. Lol

this is how we ended up with two Zolas
The Surge Rage 
purgatus LMB needs to be a fireball
you can get like 39% base crit on surge with max crit stat iirc
Return to gun psyker
I usually run burst with flame staff, burst really helps with long range.
Something like that. Xd
ngl, on only have two modes for dodge: using everything at once or forgot it exists
also venomous
I thought reddit was unhinged until I checked the steam discussion boards
blaze void definitely better than blaze trauma 
That's tru pls buff trauma. 
why waste time arguing when you can use that time to farm for plasteel
they're farming alright, just not ingame
gotta get them steam points lul
farm clown takes

What do I swap it for then? Carapce?
Hello hello siblings
Vet is an L class for useless player
flak
Tf do steam points do again?
obscurus bad? working on a blaze lol
you can buy like, profile items I guess
Ah yes the "look how stupid I am!" Badge. True value. Much wow.
as an example, my profile picture border
My Illisi has 20% Maniacs, and I run Blaze/BB so I usually use that on Carapace and Flak enemies. I have 1 blessing changed to lvl 4 slaughter and the other is lvl4 Precognition( i kinda like it cuz i dodge heavies and muties and get that bonus dmg) my 2nd Perk is 8% Melee crit dmg. Debating on changing that Melee crit to unarmoured, unyielding or elites. Thoughts?
Okay that'd give me a Chuckle.
you can also buy wallpapers and the like
this is mine, it's animated 
i run unyielding + maniacs on my illisi
and yes, there is years that I use this profile picture, and the effect was my best steam purchase ever
very nice
I have a Deimos with Uncanny 3, Executor 4. Is that cool? Can I just give myself perks?
now let's see Paul Alan'`s
it's fine although i think precog aint all that good but if you like it go for it
what blessings do you have on yours?
oh my god...the 15 year badge with an rgb profile picture border...and an immaculate Hatsune Miku background.

I did it guys the funny keystone-less build

Only 194 toughness, not 200, smh
Somehow looks even worse?
194 is accidental weakness, 195 is blatent weakness. 200 is supreme.

Does anyone know what the gold ! means in the corner of the picture?
that escalated quickly, from "ops I have 194" to "I'm a failure for having 195"
I don't want to give up 90% toughness regen.
It just means you deleted a weapon that was previously used in that loadout, just equip a different weapon then the same one again and it usually fixes it.
224-225 should be maximum psyker toughness, it's hnng to look at.
Ahhh thats what it means, Thanks brother
gotchu fam
Don't let burster near you if you run triple toughness curios. 
good for bloodletter at least i guess
I fear no evil.
I really enjoy that penetration.
im on nearly my 20th PS trying for cycler 4 if that makes you feel any better
Power cycler is exceptionally difficult to get though.
I accidentally yeeted sunder some time ago
i also dont have surge, but i havent tried much with voidstrikes
Tier 3 power cycler just reminds me of what I could be but am not...
me with this patch: 
Bear witness
Such psyker beauty, I should lower one 5% to 4% and see if it hits 200 exactly.
That's op
Everyone running Numeric UI gonna Hnng.
Tbh psyker have the best push in game, it should never even touch
Horrifying
Also, marking a pox burster with the new vet ability, right next to a teammate. Definitely isn't friendly fire... 🙂
instigation
what to do to this?
Shred 4 and uncanny 3
I use shred to keep PT up tho
and get more mettle procs
so depends on ur build
any rtx 4060 users here? i'd like to ask what video settings do you guys have to prevent stuttering?
I encounter massive amounts of stuttering when there's a flamer 😦
but overlay is stating that its 70fps but in-game I'm experiencing some latency in frames
like it'll be stuck at one frame and then everything will be moving so fast as to catch up
I had onload stuttering on my media center but it faded after that. The latest patch is unstable. We have a lot of players reporting "out of memory" and stuff.
the other two sword are better
It loads the new on burn textures and stuff.
Is it still happening after a match or two?
im still in a match so I'll check after again
current match is stuttering like crazy
like my game would be "stuck" when the hounds in a hound horde spawns
then the next frame will be me getting my ass eaten
hahaha
Blaze trauma vs no blaze 
i hate how effective blaze trauma is bc now I can't use warp flurry and spam out fully loaded blasts 🥹
1.3s vs 2 picoseconds with warp flurry on 80%
but yeah fire trauma is really good for some reason
I have been summoned!
For smite to work properly you want to invest at least in the following:
- Perilous Combustion
- Battle Meditaion
- Smite
- Wildfire
- Creeping Flames
- Warp siphon with Inner Tranquility and Warp Battery
Bonus points if you can afford Enfeeble and Warp Rider as well. The choice between In Fire Reborn and Psychic Vampire is a matter of personal taste.
The key is to smite until 85 peril (default UI) and then ult as many enemies you can. This often triggers a chain reaction with the above talents and keeps you going until all but the strongest enemies are gone, unless there are a lot of elites in which case you probs clear the whole room.
In case you don't get the chain reaction going and hit 100 peril, quell to 50 and smite again. After you get to 100 the second time you should be ready to ult again.
Remember, Smite will auto quell upon hitting 100 peril so no risk of blowing up unless you start the cast at 100. Just keep on holding to your RMB and believe in Emperor.
The more enemies you have, the merrier it gets. Auric Damnation Maelstrom sample:
https://youtu.be/yrOmLUfNMw4
This was done on Auric Maelstrom, the more elites you have the merrier this build gets. You can view this build among other things in The Psyker Atheneum:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959
if it's your 1st match after patch just play it out, shaders are caching
I literally had a 3 second freeze the first time i ulted as zealot, lmao. Then it was smooth
I have a trauma staff with 79% charge rate. At 3 stacks of flurry it's kinda fast. 
Somehow I'm doing more warpfire than range damage lately with blaze trauma.
Am I just missing my full charge blasts? 
Duelling Swords trade a tiny bit of knife mobility in favour of more DPS and a special capable of staggering everything else than bosses.
Compared to force swords, they provide a bit less horde clear than Illisi and a bit less single target burst than Deimos. However the Mk 4 Duelling Sword variant has better single target sustained DPS than a Deimos.
Mk 4 Duelling Sword is basically the better Obscurus and acts as a mobility stick as well
Honestly it's hard to not mark 4 dueling sword always.
I wish they'd uptune the rest of the weapons.
is there a link to full build?
See? You can summon Pygex if needed 
could be
As I vet main I do this whenever I can.
Especially near ledges.
but as long as you use it to cc and keep your team unburdened by the hordes and elites, it's all good
gets the job done
Trauma buff pls 
I can't give up Illisi horde clear.
tbh witch bolt needs a rework or something
Pretty nice!... here take this 3 nerfs and 4 bugs -ChonkySeatuna(maybe) 
trauma staff now hits random bodyparts!

it's a cosmetic change
FS coding.
all trauma needs is an option to put the crosshair at the epicenter
...that causes PTSD and Vietnam flashbacks
I really miss playing surge actually.
Now that the ep bug is gone I want to play it but this damage bug is what we got instead.
Surge without the EP bug is very nice
this bodyparts thing tho, worst time to happen
transfer peril trauma maybe
1/7 chance to quell 10% peril 🥲
thanks! yeah it looks like it's now ok
Actually now that the +1 chain is not applying to surge anymore it frees me up a point in my surge build.
I liked it though. 3 targets vs 2.
I hope that the intern that did the cosmetic change got big sitdown talk
Starting with "Hi Jimmy... hey... what the fuck"
once surge is unbugged i'll have to hope i get a vet with fire team aura or the tagging keystone so i can always one shot yellow gunners 
I can 1 shot dreg gunner with warp charges and crit.
i meant without crit
so it's consistant
without it always has like 50-100 hp left
really annoying
Aye
this bug is so urgh that everytime I do a one shot kill with RMB, I don't believe it unless I realized that I was buffed so then made sense 
for some reason i can't dodge enemies from behind
i hear the sound, oddge, but never get it in time...
am i dodging too fast?
maybe
I think give it a slight damage boost wouldn't hurt too. Maybe 700 damage at 80%.
That'll let it kill dreg gunner I think.
Also to differentiate it from trauma which also does 660 damage at 80%.
ever since I discovered how to use trauma staff, surge has felt a bit underwhelming to me
especially with the crazy roll I got on mine which brittles armor in an 8 meter radius and soulblazes on crit and I'm running a crit psyker build
Which is why surge should be buffed to the state roughly 50-75% of what it was when EP was bugged
surge feels like it lacks a niche now
I hope that one of the squares on part 2 are new weapons
I switch to surge when I see we lack specials killing at mission ready screen.
Grinding a new staff sounds like hell.
All the blessings then gamba with brunt for a good base.
you did it because of a bug, do it for her


just spend 100-200k on it
ez
I want to kill it
ugliest haircut in the world
Don't let the intrusive thoughts win.
Actually, haircuts on their wigs on of the main reasons why i don't like SoBs probably
even though i like flamethrowers
the classic Sister of Battle helmet
you can blame the Emperor for that
If could draw, i would say "too late" and posted drawing of her dismembered
BY THE EMPEROR
The perfect psyker
my game is still lagging hard
fuk em kids
All things considered, talent tree isn't that bad for those stats
Can get 4 warp stacks with 4% base damage
Plus you get the smite true aim bug
lmao, i literally just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3p_VuPIS2c
aaaaaah
pls don't fuck kids
I think it's some maps and events really kill the fps
Ngl, if we get a 2 handed force sword i kinda hope it'll be an Illisi for the sake of nuking hordes
But at the same time, can you imagine a Deimos greatsword?
Literally just the psyker equivalent of "Fuck this guy in particular"
psyker beyblade
Probably not the most effective weapon, but it would be fucking hilarious
screw effective, among my fave weapons are chain axe and ironhelm xD but tbh I don't use chain axe a lot because of how meh it is
Honestly, with a Deimos greatsword there would also probably be a lot of half-swording which would be cool
Though hear me out
what is half-swording?
Force greatsword, alt fire isn't eviscerate, it switches to half-swording for stabs and heavy attack is always warp-empowered
Basically, you grab your sword around the middle so you can use it as a sort of spear
Or you do it for better control of your sword in a 1v1 for shit like counters
Though a force baton would also be a cool thing to have
After all, we already have Psyker Cop
hell all melee weapons quell when
but my scrier's gaze though :V
some 2h weapons would be neat in terms of animations
since the majority of melee weapons are 1h
Yeah
Coward.
It's not about making your gaze last longer.
It's about killing them all within that time period.
what part of running exclusively force weapons with scrier's gaze is coward xD
I subsist on critical peril
Honestly i love the high peril playstyle
But i hate how it drowns out the soundtrack
that part is true yes, but it's so much fun :D
LET ME HEAR THE OST WHILE THE WARP IS OVERTAKING ME FATSHARK
especially with like warp nexus on staff
IT IS A GOOD PAIN
You can lower the high peril sound
can you do that without lowering the audio of other vital things?
settings / options i forget where
gee thanks xD
let's fucking goo
omfg what the hell
fuck you melk, too bad this is bricked
does surge work only on the droplets or also on the blast?
good question, but blaze and that other crit related blessing are too good to pass up
surge doesn't work on trauma's secondary, sadly
if only we could do True Aim + Surge + Blazing Spirit
it works for both voidstrike's LMB and RMB
I would love to get a new quality with a third blessing, even if that meant 10x longer finding that perfect one xD
my ideal trauma staff if it could get 3 blessings would either be terrifying barrage, blazing spirit and rending shockwave, or more likely warp nexus, blazing spirit and rending shockwave :3
nothing like setting the whole room on fire with the staff that also strips armor from said room
Hello all, there is this thing that is really lowering my enjoyment of the game, that is not using any f abilities because i need to do that Warp Battery penance. Who has done it, how has done it? Because i have this damn problem that i have to complete everything before starting to enjoying a game as i want 😦
give up 
take a break, return to it later
no point if it's not fun
veteran's challenges almost did my head in, but just having some dumb fun regularly playing the game for a bit did wonders
warp battery more like lame battery
do something cooler
i do cooler things on accident
Talk to a therapist about this problem.
the sad thing is that i am actually a therapist 😦
i want to do malleus monstrotum for the cosmetic but dont feel like going through the effort to find a group and do it 
which was your build?
time to talk to yourself
I hear people completing it at the end of the carnival map and taking purg staff with soulblaze talents including In Fire Reborn. Iirc, you need the warp battery node that gives you 6 warp charges. People saying that they couldn't get progress where their warp charge cap was 4.
then you should have tools to be able to deal with this, I'm not saying this in a demeaning sense I mean you need to do some self-care 💙
Talk to yourself in the mirror about this problem until you a) have a psychotic break and believe you are a real life psyker b) resolve the problem and become one with the Emperor.
games are supposed to be enjoyable
i did the penance by accident when using a voidstrike staff because i refused to use my ability
ahahahah thank you, i've exagerated a little bit about the problem, probably at some point i will just give up and ignore that pants, it was a way to ask for advice about the penance
i'll do that
I haven't done it since I only really bother with penances I want the reward for, but I guess you could try go for some high intensity madness and hug your teammates the entire time and ride that 4% chance in coherency to get a warp charge?
Carnival would be a bad map to do it because there's that lull near the end where you have to kill the stragglers
u could probably do high intensity shock troop gauntlet private game and hard carry the bots solo if ur good enough
since they absolutely suck at stealing kills
that uhh.. the one map where you need to place those servo-skull things on consoles at the end and then the middle console area opens up and you have to defend tiny bridges in 4 directions, I think that mission could be pretty good for warp battery
honestly dude i stopped caring about penance
i take them in mind but i dont grind them
bring like purgatus or fire trauma with soulblaze charges
i used to have severe mmo brainrot
grinding for arbitrary stuff is not worth it
ty all for your suggestion!
it was 69 blast radius anyway
hehe he said the funny number
its a nice blast radius
Siblings, is this decent Blessings and Perk wise?
u probably wanna run maniac instead of unarmored
alright
This sounds like hell for final event.
Bursters train and snipers shooting while no one do the objectives.
There is that funny veteran build around the perk that regenerates 30% total stamina on range attacks dodged with a gun and a perk that makes it soo as long as you're over 60% stamina you automatically dodge ranged attacks which i think is pretty funny
I want to do something similar on psyker
And couple it with my crack speed monkey buiild
Yea but its on crits
I can guarantee weakspot hits, but i cannot guarantee critical hits unless i take that one funny perk in the dd branch
And even then its 1 in 5
I already run scrier's but that's for damage and movement speed it still not guarantees me what i want
i mean true
And besides empathic evasion counts as dodging which means that those shots can still hit you, the enemies just loose tracking of you
no
but 20% crit rate is 20% crit rate
nah i dodged sniper shots without moving
iirc
yeah that first shot went through me
Oh yea i just tested it
Check Atheneum 📌 for build examples
Yea soo i can just slap ghost IV on my gun and have a better version of that perk
Which i can now change my build around
better in some situations sure
Im pretty sure that a guaranteed 1.2 second immunity to ranged attacks on weakspot hits which i can easily guarantee is better in majority of situations rather than a chance to be immune to ranged attacks
Im gonna need to conduct some actually games with it to determine it
Oh my.. Melk wrapped a gift for me. I'm using flamers but...
Not best cloud and Burn though..
Yea but can't you like, move your mouse around more while shooting
cloud radius also affects the range of the flames
Oh
if you're pathing down from the right side and taking either prescience or seer's presence, then empathic evasion is a fairly cheap node to get anyways
only 79% dmg. unplayable
i've had empathic evasion be really consistant
I don't see how that's an issue
but I play surge staff + scrier's gaze so I kinda have big crit to begin with
Oh my god the weapon literally does not blow me and wipe my ass, its bad
Yea its a chance for a crit, you can have crits exactly when you need and be invurnerable to ranged exactly when you need it the most but it is still a chance
ghost rewards good aim while emphatic evasion rewards luck i guess, scrier's only increases the chances
well my base crit is 38%
- scrier is 58
so i'm already above 1 chance out of 2
add nexus into the mix and now I'm at 63~78%
Ooooh, you're using stafs
surge staff specifically
Well there is the difference
Yea
But throwing snowballs with rocks inside them does not do alot of damage
It can stagger but at the same time why not just charge it
Either way its gonna be some time untill i can properly test it with decent guns becaues, i need a decent gun for it
for one, I think you are underestimating the crit damage multiplier on the LMB
its base damage isn't particularly impressive, but its crit damage multiplier is above average
Yea sure if i was running stafs then i would go for it, but im running guns i don't have the access to that high crit chance since they don't have nexus or an equivelant of that
and you can fire staff bolts faster nowadays without mandatory quell cancelling
Im in the process of weighing what is better, either go with ghost on the gun and sacrafice a blessing for it BUT i can change around my perk points because emphatic evasion becomes obselete or stay with emphatic evasion and have a freedom of choice of a blessing for my gun
how many voidstrikes until surge shows up
ik there rare on blues but what am i gonna do level multiple up to gold and pray? my poor fucking mats
probably more efficient to do up to gold
how do you have your inventory layed out like that?
Most likely a mod
I heard mods will get you banned.

u tryna frighten the new players? arent there literal fartshark devs in the modding server
stahp
Sorry I am veri pro I don't need mods to cheat. 😤
Trauma is all about disruption imo, but damage and ability to kill when you want to is great. Feels sometimes like a better smite in some regards

Imo trauma is all about killing everything (apart from monsters).
Boom boom boom.
The price for such power though is it's incredibly hard to craft a good one.
trauma can kill everything while making a safe space
im planning on finally making the trauma blaze build in about 20 mins when i hop on
peril gen is fine, i can spam trauma all game and never touch melee
though even now im question why go blaze when can jsut do faster or more dmg
blaze greatly increases the radius of the staff
the burning radius is wayyyy larger than the circle
Blaze has much more spread damage than rending.

Rending doesn't actually increase your own damage that much.
minimum effective radius goes through the roof
it is crazy how my psyker that has 500h playtime doesn't carry a single 550 weapon, but my 50h zealot alreaedy has two 550s, of the exact same type I wanted
And team won't take advantage of your rending.
you basically have a rng 6 stack venting shriek spam
im pretty sure the first one i made was only missing blazing and i have that now
which you can combo with venting shriek btw and perilous combustion
but i scrapped the first one cause it was also the first time i got tier 4 nexus so yknow what i had 2 do 
means you'll have 12 stacks of soublaze + 3 more for each tagged enemy killed
its helpful to have the debuff mod for it though for visualisation of stacks
dis one?
ye, requires customisation
and color coded and filter out the other classes
i dont think i can get use to voidstrike
perhaps its because im not used to aiming with it
having projectile speed and charging
why can this even roll that blessing
it shoots like the primary on trauma right? Just bigger alt fire charge and detonation plus piercing shot?
primary fire
yeah it shoot shots

Good question. Why do developers keep designing useless trap stats?
Speaking of, can somebody enlighten me about shredder pistol?
what ya talkin about? there new patch notes?
It's the worse Columnus
No, it's just that you can farm true aim stacks with smite to use with the revolver
And that may or may not go away with the surge staff fix
Which one is better? Guessing the higher score one
Use it for a while and you'll get used to it
Shoot into hordes a lot first, then you'll get a feel for it
maybe
What are your builds for single target damage? On higher difficulties I have a feeling like I'm not doing much damage to elites and monstrosities
Doing aurics for days with this single target build
Can anyone link me the scoreboard plugin that lets you see your Soulblaze and Bleed damage?
I've seen a few people around with it
So
Is damage dump stat for purge staff?
Thanks, will try it out
how do i improve this
Can anyone confirm if run n gun on staves boost close range damage 
But you can change crit change to flak and it'll be great
Yes.
Is it usable with other plugins btw?
It will be quite buggy
man hi intensity auric is just not very fun
It will overflow above and below
who though shoving a horde of special into a 4 man squad is a good idea
Team needs to kill fast
Smite:
i like that there are 2 opinions to that
one is to kill things faster
the other is to stall it
Stalling works to kill faster
guess i have no choice but to submit to the smite then
It just allows the other 3 members to prioritize threats, if they choose to, if they know to
Or you can kill it all yourself and don't worry 
yeah that would be much more preferrable
I.e. gun psyker time 
yes thats what i been doing
Either that or purg, literally just destroys horde so the team has nth to do but kill specials
i want to play with the columnus but when i have to start shooting gunner from far away
it start to feel
painful
what exactly am i shooting with the columnus, the horde ?
Stop movin, crouch and ADS
its not a lot better
Don't shoot horde
The recoil dampens down quick
It has no cleave so it's actually quite inefficient
Kill specials and elites mainly
ah
Aim for heads and accept your ammos gonna tank or melee
i guess ill try that then
though i feel like the creeping smite is a very selective circumstance
i.e not every horde going to produce the same result
If your pubbing you do need to spec quite wide in case matchmaking screws you.
yeah i need a versatile approach
i guess im picking columnus and smite
what kind of melee recommend ?
Caxe w/ BM for carapace
Hrm my columbus build is assail, creeping flame and ep. Using mk4 duelling for melee.
man, i know surge staff was broken with smite pre patch, but holy shit does it feel awful now lmao
EP*
Caxe doesn't have anywhere the killing potential against carapace as an uncanny stick, although it can have better horde clear
Horde clear isn't much of an issue in this game imo
Should be the last thing to be considered
i think the new AI director directive should put horde clear in a rather higher priority
i mean, the new horde is just really obnoxious
rampage still bugged ? lol
i need pub teammates to not scatter around everywhere
maybe they scatter around your smoke grenade
it turns out if u leave the dome, you get sniper'd 
im already playing support with dome / smite / voidstrike
please at least stay close to me 
the patriot
Absolute perfection
what should i switch on this one?
I'd probably change out the 20% to unarmored to flak enemies since it seems like your blessing already works well with hordes
Ah
aight thanks
I really need to start testing out more weps
Theres a bug with ram?
yeah
old rampage effect stack on top of new rampage adjustment
forgot how much damage it stack up now but def way higher than what it currently show
Ohhh boy here I go cheesing again
Oi any of you Psykers trying to play Auric Maelstrom?
I am goin to try when I'm home from work
No it's too hard. 
I removed my other plugins from my load order and it looks like this.

Any bigger and you'd need an ogryn to use it.
you gotta disable just about everything in the base scoreboard mod for it to not be this bloated
fuk em orgyn
Those stats are a plugin?
Ahhh
especially scores take up a lot of space
Cheers
the first smite run did not go well
carnival
first dead room
too much
gunners
no one shoot them
not every auric is filled with good people
all im receiving is extra sweat and stress
seeing everyone with a columnus dum dum frenzy fire makes me jealous
the shoulder breaker 9000
bro
ive extracted 7 scrips
fatshark you sons of bitches
gimme my melk tokens
smite isnt enough
idk how is everyone getting this smite creeping flame
but im not seeing things dead fast enough
I always reroll that one. I don't have time to read!
I literally only once did that one and reroll em since, that shit sucks
youre not gonna get grimmoire
you have a week
700 token bounty aint doing much when you cant finish it
well its not my fault i cant finish it
im doing the objective
fatshark is just bad at making games
i already rerolled a low reward one
well theres a t1 with grims
maybe the text is wrong
I just get plasteel diamantine and two kill missions every time but you do you
especially so close to reset
well i didnt realize the missions i did yesterday didnt count
When there's 2/3 grimoires nobody is looking for the last one as hard as you
guys
dont go to vigil oblivium
its high intensity shock trooper right now
i dont know how people do that but im not getting through that shit
actually fuk it thats enough darktide for tonight
sticking needle in my tongue is more entertaining than this
https://discord.gg/KpCC8Mw4 goin for redacted penences
Want a hand?
i guess so
2457548401
Thats my friend code btw
ok
grims dont count either 
This is probably a dumb question, but did they add a whole bunch of new cosmetics via minor penances at some point? I keep getting bombarded with unlocks at mission completion screens. Or did they just fix a bunch of penances that weren't working?
new ones when they moved the old ones to redacted ,
Oh I see. So I'm basically just fulfilling the new ones. That explains why I'm getting like name (3), name (4), name (5) all at once
I was confused what was going on
Is Quell the dump stat on Trauma?
trauma doesnt really have a clear dump
Max Damage and Blast Radius and keep everything as high as possible?
Cool thanks
sad its for psyker but
Then you consecrate it and get bad perk and blessings

Stamina (while active), 20% Damage to carapace armored enemies, speedloader 4 and punishing salvo 4
calling it now
its pretty fun tbh
This is what I've found. Plus I have guns on everyone else, on Psyker I want cool wizard powers
I mean scriers gaze on a columnus is something to behold, as far as cool wizard powers go.
I may have to give that a go then
also this on Psyker too, lol
I have a bunch of trauma staffs saved up but I haven't use one since like January. What do you guys think? Should I bother dumping resources into a profane or stick with one of the oranges I have
Upgrade the blue one to yellow and see. Good potential for a blaze trauma.
Isn't transfer peril a wasted blessing though?
You're banking on getting blazing spirit or warp nexus t4 as 2nd blessing.
Yeah, but depending on plasteel availability I'd stop at purple if the 2nd perk is bad
What makes it better? High CR?
No because you already have one good perk (flak damage).
So go to yellow and hope the 2nd blessing is good.
Or if you get lucky and get both good perks then you can change both blessings.
Yes charge rate is very important.
does disrupt destiny work for allies?
is emp psi still best even if u dont go surge staff anymore? (for smite)
it depends what you want but i dont really like ep for smite since the damage isnt worth boosting
the peril resist would help maintain it yea
The blue 375 is in the best spot. Upgrade that to see what you get.
Unarmoured to Flak, and Rampage to Precognition iirc
hmm, thanks
keep rampage, it's decent now that you can activate it with the lights
but i would keep uncanny 3 and maniacs so you can play with the other slots
rampage/shred/precog/riposte are all good and subject to personal taste
Yeah, I really looking for something to serve as an anti-armour solution since I'm running a lasgun with it
uncanny 3 to 4 isnt worth it
Uncanny 3 and 4 do the same thing. Keep uncanny as is, 2nd blessing is up to you. On my sword I run maniac and carapace for crusher killing power.
you could try changing unarmoured to carapace
I do have rampage on my sword as well fyi.
Crit is nice but with 5 stacks of uncanny you kill a crusher in 3 hits anyway.
Rampage allows you to horde clear pretty good in a pinch.
i present to you, how plorgyn are born
It's better than deimos for me.
is there a point to puttin blazing spirit ona voidstaff?
4 is the popular one
what about dueling sword?
also 4
4 is the popular one
i mean is it good?
yeah
maybe i try
why
Running fire is fun
scriers and dd
and assail
and empathetic evasion
and some of the best toughness regen talents in the game
i just need 10 min to figure out what any of those are sec
But vet still can get more raw dmg out that's for sure
vet i think can put out more damage with guns using left tree but the survivability is rough
Only really rough if you're not good with positioning
it's rough relative to every other class
Especially with the tweaks yeah maybe but I'm going to hold my statement until Iv tested them out
im sure itll improve a lot once exhilarating takedown is fixed
they're missing a huge portion of their potential survivability rn
True
Try rampage on the MKII sword, it seems to work really well for me (granted, mine has horde and infested damage on it)
Running with shovel is still hella fun in my opinion
oh yeah i have one, i do like it
yeah shovel vet is great, especially with the buffs to the heavy swing speed
The special especially for keeping poxs away at a longer distance
so whats the general consensus on Revolver psykers
Imo scriers laspistol is superior
Great for taking out specials and can run really well if used right
i prefer high rpm guns on psyker because the synergy with empathetic evasion is just too good
not using scriers, but i have been having a blast with this revolver, brain rupture build i been doing
revolver was awesome back when handcannon was bugged and applied to your melee and assail
and then i use scream to make breathing room and stack the increased cast speed
what do you guys think the best psyker ability is?(new player)
Kinetic Deflection
but i mean revolver is just a good weapon in general that itll work even if youre not leveraging empathetic evasion or abusing bugs
i really hope that one of the six new weapons coming in update part 2 is a variant of the revolver that you can fan from the hip
I run Columnus mkv with gun psyker lots of ammo go brr
like the green ability
the blitz? up to what build you're wanting to do
everythings useful somehow
except the dodge one
that's not worth
Anticipation
i kinda wanna be like a single target powerhouse but not sure what route to go, i'm lvl 11 rn
i use revolver to get stacks of enhanced psionics, i use the last Blaze sword you unlock for crowd control and brain burst for literally anything that isnt a generic enemy. infinite brain rupture go brrrr
my only issue is since i am not generating any peril i have barely any ways to regain toughness
Oh yeah? Well I take big poops
is warp rider good?
Yes very
i think the most i used in a row was like 20 Brain ruptures, cuz the director is going alittle nutty with gunners and ragers rn
those weapons confirmed?
I want a whip, and I don't really know why
idk, i watch some vid where some guy tried to enhanced the blurred image as much as possible and it was like 6 thin segments and some big segments, etc, the 6 thin segments most likely being weapons, but not confirmed
Cause then u get a cool whip
I just want to whip crushers and bulwarks
im sure theyll add whips to complement the theme they have going on with the zealot masks
imagine how sick it would be to get a whip crack on a jumping dog
For all
kk
as a psyker do i want more toughness or more health on curios?
Hp pool is low u get more value from toughness %wise
its the 4th character ive made and while im having a blast with the build i made, idk what much else im doin
ideas on what to swap out?
infested -> carapace
precog -> shred/uncanny?
Inf to maniac rampage to uncanny prob
Is there a use case for surge? My staff zaps for like 2 seconds and builds peril like its going out of style even with 80 warp res. my purgatus charges a little slower but thats the only 'downside'
Surge is bugged atm
Wait for fix
Surge went from best to garbage this patch, it's bugged to hell
From bugged to bugged
im lvl 21 atm, but this is the build im aiming for basically, its handling itself in heresy atm, but obvs itll really make or break when i start running damnation, been a damn lot of fun so far tho
ah shoot, bugged according to devs?
yeah
Change sup for slaught inf to flak glory to rending elite to maniac
Ur regen on crits work better with assail than bb
Assail ep is my fav to run and what i find the most success with just gota run anti big boi/armor weaponry
ive got it on elites because you get enhanced psionics on elite kill, and arent most of the maniacs specialists?, and ik the regen crits would work better with assail but i gotta put the points somewhere lol
and i have glory cuz i dont have any other way to generate toughness basically XD
Well rending on crit is what makes rev so strong since u can shoot into armor and still do amazing dmg
Maniacs are mutants, flamers, ragers
Flak maniac is way higher dmg and covers most of everything
ahh gotcha, maybe i will switch it then, but im only using the revolver to start the psionic stacks and then infinite BR go brrrr
Yeah hand-cannon and surgical blessings on revolver are incredible
i use sword for hordes, revolver to get elites if i accidentally use all my stacks but for the most part im just burstin brains all match
yea, allows zealots and vets to 1 tap a crusher (in ideal circumstances)
unsure for psykers
Might get more survivability if you drop Unlucky for Some for One with the Warp. I also like Inspiring Presence node above the aura's
Is devil's claw mk vii worth?
also dw the revolver one taps all elites pre much
I tend to prefer anti armor on my melee's, which devils claw swords aren't super great at
