ideally, you want hand-cannon and the one where crit chance increases as you aim
surgical handcannon
surgical, that's it
i was running laspistol on my gun psyker buil but didnt like the feel
hopefully this does better
hadron just gave me the exact same fucking revolver
nah
but slightly worse
just put surgical and handcannon on it
how's this? upgraded a blue i had lying around
perks good, pen and crit too low
hrm true
right just threw t3 surgical and hc on it
yep
lets give that a spin,.,
try to find t4 surgical at some point
anniversary update
why a pig mask again...
Pig mask? 
Shark hat!
i wish there was a talent for Smite that reduced the CC but gave it more damage
finally i've manged to get a good grasp on blaze trauma

When you get or if you have hand cannon, put that in place of gloryhunter
I want takeout
Get a kebab meat pizza w a tub of garlic sauce, cos I can't 😦
just won my first auric damn lol
i want asian food
but that''s a g pick
Has marked by Destiny been fixed so it wont just turn off for half a mission?
Another clutch to add to the meme compilation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G4_cXz19XM
This Scipio guy went off. What did he and you use?
Grats
Bruh I upgraded from green and got 3 crappy perks. 
Sry for bad quality, but it faster then loading to and from cloud. Did I just won the game?
kinda yeah
quick question: what the fuck happened to the surge stuff? It cant even kill regular enemys (even with 25% damage against unarmoured and flak armoured)
if you had EP on before patch 15 it boosted the damage a lot
it randomly targets arms and does half damage, they're aware of it
wasn't it fixed already ?
Hey guys, I'm making a psyker and need to know what origin options to choose to get that one psyker that has that long diabolical laugh.
they half fixed it
wow
Partially. Limbs have different armor. And they did not take it into account
yeah exactly drop this shit staff and use voidstrike
Surge staff is immesurably complex for fatshark for sure 🙂
wanna gonna change SoulBlaze to Warp Flurry, the question is which Perk to switch to Crit Chance
sure you dont want surge to pair with T4 warp nexus?
then you could just drop crit damage for chance and get the meta staff
i was gonna use it with assail, i can't spread it with Wildfire (oh, you said surge)
It's not half damage anymore it's more like 85%.
Still sucks though.
this one
i'll have to get the blessing
well yeah you can swap blazing spirit for whatever else until you do get it
so you're sure it's better to drop the crit dmg for chance instead of the carapace?
but yeah that crit damage is pretty much worthless so its either maniacs or crit chance in its place
until you get surge you wont oneshot crushers in the head either way
but extra damage helps
kk
Crit damage is a big no, change that
man i'm tired of carrying every freakin game. There needs to be some sort of ranking system that stops non-sibling fish signing up to auric malestroms
play privates?
then it's awkward when you ahve to leave because fish also found their way into privates
I hate fish
i hate it when piranhas are eating my balls
that happen a lot to you
😔

Cowboy pensive




it doesnt need to happen much for u to hate it
wtf "suspensiverailway"
Sry just got back to my pC, he was purg/smite I was surg/smite
purg/smite seems fun, provided you have competent ranged on your team
you become a walking area denial weapon
I will send you an invite to a discord server

yeah it eats
suggestions on what to change? obvious at least one of the perks
personally i love deflector, makes me feel really cool when i'm blocking bullets with my mind
so i'd swap riposte for deflector and sprint for flak damage
I agree with deflector, i do love it
lemme test and see how close i am to one shotting mutants if i put manic on it
Repost for slaughter, Sprint for Manic.
slaughter would pair real well with the crit hit damage fs
with the rending as well it'd eat
trying to get warp battery and i'm probably gonna rip my hair out
Alternatively: don’t get hit 
5% crit + manic is nice, because you can just spam left click and kill a mutant pretty fast with a couple of crits, no special needed.
I just take slaughterer shred for maximum horde clear on illisi
shred for horde clear?
Shred only stacks on one target. It will fall off if you hit anything else at any point, or miss.
refer to previous statement
Right... but if they are in hordes, you are only hitting them reliably?
decent horde clear is just spamming voidstrike charged shots
does this sword, crit mroe than usual?
feels like almsot every other hit or so is a crit
id prefer a sword when things are in breathing distance
well, you do have riposte
right but thats only if i dodge
are you not dodging?
ah lol
is it like in vermintdie where individual swings can have differetn crit chances?
Just put blazing spirt on it, and I promise it'll feel like it never crits 🙂
dueling sword for sure feels like it crits more than usual tho lmao
tax evasion is illega sibling youc an't keep this up
maybe just a mental thing
One message removed from a suspended account.
its just super rare
One message removed from a suspended account.
only exists as t4
dont say that
Illy has 8% base crit, nothing special.
what should I do to this?
I've given up on voidstrike surge.
Change the perks to unarmored, flak.
Unarmored is better cause of limb hits atm.
bug was fixed iirc
Yep, just tested, still hits weakspots, so it definitely hits limbs. Had to doublecheck I didn't miss a hotfix lmao.
How many surge staves have you upgraded from white to yellow
No way, being able to hit weakspots is great.
Plus lightning is a lil random in reality 🤷♂️
Well not "random", but you get what I mean.
Behold siblings, blessings of the Omnissiah
https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1G3TlRfNIU26Hv/d1337i0kR0yG?invite=cr-MSxIRGMsNzE1NTk5Mjgs also double checked this is wrong, shred stays stacked even if you hit multiple enemies
Watch Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Trimmed Clip 1 and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
Does shred vary per weapon?
pretty sure no
yes, some have higher percents or durations or something
but yeah shred and the like drop when you swing and hit nothing
or they have the same percentages and i'm just misremembering because i have them unlocked at different levels for different weapons
Shred falls off if you miss or wait too long
And nothing else
"on Chained Hit" means if you miss it drops
-7.5% charge time on chained heavy attacks for the voidstrike let's me fend off hordes really well
tldr: slaughterer shred is based on illisi
can I please get players who know what the dodge key is?
Well poo, I screwed up a good weapon. I wonder how I tested it that it got messed up.
Bruh moment.
He got slammed
Really thought he had enough dmg to get him
dude plays mid keystone zealot hes a masochist
It's the strongest zealot keystone.
ik, im saying he likes the pain
Why is the guy hitting the ground with hes gun and damageing the enemy???
It's so linear
lag prob
spectate is slightly bugged
He's one of those feet guys, but in reverse.
it doesn't show the visual recoil, at all, only that's he's aiming down (to control said recoil)
Sororitas feet
Just did purg assail and it felt alright. Though, I favored assail a lot.
I thought it was his recoil, cause he's hitting his shots
tbf purgatus and assail have a lot of overlap
both horde clear efficiently against mixed hordes with elites
one just has more range
Assail was too boring for me ngl
When it first dropped, I was playing assail like it required aim, it was super fun until I realized how the ability worked.
is there really much of a difference between T3 and T4 flurry? not sure if it's worth grinding to get a t4 just to rip it off and put it here
Yeah t3 and t4 flurry not too big.
Two perk slots is way more valuable, esp for surge, than t4 flurry.
nah not worth
t3 is all you need
That 19% warp resist is a concern though.
realistically surge charge is so fast already it hardly makes a difference
Yes and no. I was thankful to have assail when there were scattered shooters across the way and past turning stair cases and shotgunners that don't get staggered with purg RMB.
purg m1 staggers basically everything short of an ogryn or boss
If you can get to them.
unironically I find it feels better to use
And bring back LMB stagger on crushers please
You'll have to pause to quell way too often no?
I like creeping flames too much
But that flaming shriek stack onto a full purg hnng
yes, but I'm already in the habit of doing that anyway from playing pre-launch trauma lmfao
Creeping flames also my crutch. Can't play any other ability.
plus this offsets the otherwise low peril gen of smite so I can more readily use ascendant blaze creeeping flames, fuck I'm old
😔
what 47% peril gen per cast does to the mind of a player
guys it's still good I swear
i was a quietitude trauma user back then so I would unironically argue that
Trauma's the first staff you get too, I wonder how many psykers quit thinking "magic sucks, guns are better, might as well play vet".
flat shield does stop nets fyi
ikr
its so much better than bubble
bubble also stops nets
trauma being the first staff available is legitimately criminal
and not in the good sense
trauma is good tho
I wanna see how much peril this thing actually generates, one sec
(been playing without the funny numbers)
trauma has one of the widest stat scalings
oh yea I agree
Endgame, sorry
still not even half as bad as old trauma
and a good portion of people don't like to aim trauma
Stairs are specifically put in the game to nerf trauma as well
so it's the learning curve + wide stat scaling that makes trauma a horrible first staff
thats the fun part, also knowing how long to charge
Smite peril gen is really slow if you rely only on it to keep peril up.
On my smite revolver warp siphon, I don't take inner tranquility and smite still takes forever to build peril. (except when trying to lock things down with smite, then it feels faster.)
Because garbage human preception of time
"time"
fecking constructs
Oh and unlike what some people think, you don't need ten thousand toughness nodes to do good in damnation, dunno why some people here think that
Smite has the fastest peril build up when you can literally tell that the moment it comes off, those crushers are gonna one-shot your dummy teammates.
fr. people have been spoiled by the ability to have more than one toughness generator
i see a lot of people complaining about ranged enemies even though they don't pressure you at all, and I suspect that not taking toughness is playing into that
where my Essence Harvest gang at
lowkey the people who preach that just get hit too much lol
Maybe its cuz I run flat shield on all my builds lol
or not taking enough toughness regen feats
like toughness regenerates even if it's a lower buffer
current build, please rate 1 (Masochist) to 10 (Sadist)
Me not taking soulstealer on crit builds. 
my void, surge and trauma builds are all crit based, this is all I need
Based on what
Based on Lil B, the based god
Does the crit give toughness based on the amount of enemies hit?
I'd hate to crit a crowd and get 5%
Do i wanna run extra crit chance?
Check your BPs
Is crit surge is must have on purgatus?
I don't think purgatus has surge
purgatus has so few blessings T-T
At least it makes it easy to roll for good Purgatus staffs
Trauma just isnt it
Tried running it in a maelstrom
for how long it takes to charge
its only good for deleting trash mobs

Does next to nothing to most other enemies
Clearly bad staff need buffs.
Surge is 3-5x better
That is so tru
Just not enought damage or not a fast enough charge
I am trauma and surge main and I think both need buffs.
the charge speed is fine
no idea. haven't tried editing it
as long as you have a well-statted trauma staff
did you manage to figure it out?
what is the charge rate of the trauma staff you're using
i'm going to strangle you if it's less than 70%
It better. Scoreboard has had me at 1k plus crits before. So that should be counted individually?
then I don't understand the complaints about the charge rate
I’ll test in spawner mod later
stop the cycle of violence arcotash
it's 1.3 seconds which is in the middle of things currently
it's an AoE staff that has damage and stagger
No I reported my problem on modder discord. The author said he'd have a look. Other people don't have that problem only me it seems.
players when weapons are balanced between the attributes they have 😔
...
if you like your staff, sure, go for other weapons
but that doesn't make the staff bad
Surge is great
You have 2 interesting blessings though.
Trauma is not
what an absolute opinion to hold
well I'm not interested in arguing this since you're set in stone, so I'll just swing the weight of my 2k hours and say that you're wrong
Trauma's only use case is when pox walkers come at you in hoards
all other cases it doesnt do it intended purpose well enough to keep you alive
I had to keep switching to smite
to actually keep things from overrunning me

I’ll explain Trauma like I’m Hardron.
Enemies fall on butt.
Teammates kill enemies.
That is good.
Varlet
Need both damage and charge rate buff. Maybe make radius bigger too.
Smite does that infinitely better though
This is false, that’s purg
He used the weight of his 2k hours
Bro you don’t understand the design behind trauma, that’s ok just do t use it
If u cant beat that then ur argument loses automatically
Yeah Purg does it even better, negating trauma even more as a good staff
And you should GTFO from the discord
Me when the
No one takes trauma to delete hordes
Truueee buff trauma.
i do unironically believe that people with shit opinions should just get out
Mass ae stagger
such as shitters who believe that purg is only for hordes
Trauma is one of the most versatile staves I can recall
No it's bad.
Then list some of its use cases
that cant be done better or faster with smite and surge?
mixed hordes
you use it in case bad guys are in front of you
This
Funny LMB for long ranges and more precise hits, stagger and damage on RMB
and it's a mix of damage and stagger
241 is less than 2k
It makes ragers, maulers, crushers, bulwarks etc sit down and eventually die
Looks like you lose
infinite cleave spammable hard cc
innately decent carapace damage
innate ability to hit whatever you want through an arbitrary number of mobs in front of your target out to its max range
soulblaze
Sorry buddy
Although I saw this guy on YouTube he is really good with trauma (even though bad staff)
You do a lot decently
it really just sounds like you didn't adapt your playstyle to use the trauma staff well
John 40K
Trauma is one of the best weapons that invalidates ragers. Mass walls of them
as much as i love my voidstrike
That too
ragers eat my ass
Trauma is the meta staff behind Void lmao
hours equating to relevancy or validity of opinion is the biggest reddit nerd take Ive ever seen someone give

Nerf void buff trauma
No, im just showing ive spend a weeks worth of time in game
that should be enough of an experience base
So yes, only your time matters lmao
i do think it's relevant because the perspective you have on the trauma staff and the problems you have with it just sound like you're not using it particularly well
like even if you just blast your own feet, you're not going to get owned
and you can just swap to your melee while stuff like maulers/crushers are too spread out to trauma so you can just poke them
had a psyker join mid-game and just trauma spam a whole wave of ragers away
Ok lets see your total level on psyker then
it was like divine intervention
The only staff I don't like is Surge and that is just because Fatshark can't go one update without breaking it
Or is that irrelevant as well
the whole patrol of 8-12 crushers/bulwarks just spends their entire lifespan pathetically sitting on the ground
No opinion is irrelevant
and bringing smite with trauma and making the trauma's stagger redundant
Thats wrong lol
Some ppls opinions are absolutely irrelevant
Its called an opinion for a reason dude
I prefer bb with trauma
too bad your opinion is shit
and evidently based on using a shit build and not using the weapon properly
Could use some buffs

Update to my blaze trauma build with taking perfect timing. I went crazy this game and did the big damage.
Patch 1.2.2
Magistrati Oubliette TM8-707 · Assassination · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet (Melee Scab Enemies Only)
Loadout: MK IV Duelling Sword / Blazing Spirits Trauma
good talk guys
you don't have to like trauma, but that doesn't mean it's bad
it's not pre-patch 13 where weapons were so unbelievably garbage
people like you absolutely love to overstate how terrible weapons are out of nowhere
lets chat real quick about revolvers
Gamers, please
We can all talk about how bad the Tactical Axe is instead
on the topic of trauma staves, flak or unarmored for blazing?
flak and crit
revolver psyker/zealot/vet enters game
runs off on their own
rest of team wipes
fumbles the save trying to pick up the team that died because they ran off
Revolver hit many breakpoints. But not always the breakpoint to get through certain players thick skull.
It is ok.
yeah crit is assumed, it's the other one I'm thinking about
9/10 times if someone runs in with a combat blade and a revolver i know some goofy shit is about to go down
I'm the 10%
Flak is a must have.
maybe they're great, maybe they're awful
I'm a sigmar male
I could never run dagger in vermintide and I'm not about to do it now
Sigmar nuts
I do it because push attacks are FUNNY
Still thinking about the 4 knife Damnation lobby where it was like a swarm of bees striking when an elite appeared
That one pox walker dying and ruining the run
thank god on thursday that carnival map is off perma rotation
Dogs can kill themselves without interference
Just dodge them and let them hit a wall
What-
Is that
An actual
Feature?
Ya ive done a pasficist run before.
ACTUAL VERIFIABLE FACTOIDS
A dog killed itself and counted as my kill.
THIS POST FACT CHECKED BY REAL SANCTIONED PSYKERS
Sanction deez nuts
Is warp nexus any good on purgatus?
Yes, Purg only has like 5 available blessings
It basically stacks dot faster, but cap is still the same
So both of the Warp ones are all that is really usable
Terrifying Barrage and Run,n.Gun are ass and Focus Channeling exists
Ya crits applies two stacks of soulblaze on a burn trigger instead of one
My purg got flurry 4 and barrage 4 cc is insane
I do not currently know how well terrifying barrage works
I fucking hate trauma 😹
I made the build and deleted it like 8 times
And i made like 5 good trauma staves
It was run and gun before warp flurry
you can optionally do unyileding to crit chance. crits give double stacks. also, the best blessings are nexus and then flurry
My set up is Crit/Flak Warp Flurry/Nexus 4
Again with so little blessings you don't exactly got a lot of options
Surge staff my beloved
aw damn I missed someone having a bad opinion again
y'all were assholes
Holy screenshot.
is there a mechanical reason u jump a lot?
Moar range
I assume
Or just the zoomies
more vertical height extends trauma range a bit yeah
or at least it lets you see better because of the goofy ass angle that the aoe gets placed at
Do i wanna run extra crit chance on this? Im doing a scrier's build with disrupt destiny
that why i do it
here I'll be more constructive, transfer peril doesnt work on right click which makes it pretty bad for trauma, should probably try getting something else on there
Any tips for doing cliffhanger in pubs?
how in the fuck does Sustained Fire work on a weapon that doesnt use ammunition?
you just left click
Starting from 0 peril?
aiui it triggers on >50% charge too
force sword push attack probably
Smelter, that big hole in the middle of the ending area. Or the end of hab dreyko, on that pipe towards the ship.
i am very confused, so it counts the attacks even though there is no ammo?
any push works, ideally use vent on high peril
they only have to die to fall damage
there is probably still youtube guides from henceforth
a "salvo" isn't based on ammo, it's based on how many shots you fire within a certain window
the blessing still sucks
That makes sense, would be pretty bad on weapons with high rate of fire otherwise
When the recoil resets is when you get a salvo
they brought an obviously redundant build with trauma + smite, fell back to smite which they were more comfortable with, and decided to label trauma as a shit staff where surge was 3-5x better
they certainly weren't looking for a conversation in the first place, so I wasn't going to give one either
I don't run weapons that don't fit my playstyle and call them shit when they don't fit with my established playstyle and build
re: sustained fire: #psyker-class message
it works on right clicks at least on void
when they remove surge it might be the thing to get 
Tbh he was super mild as far as "weapon bad" goes
I think the ragging was unwarranted
The only staff I haven’t enjoyed so far is purgatus tbh
and i think it was because I don't care for people who just label weapons as shit out of nowhere
it's not patch 12 anymore
people need to get that era out of their heads
every weapon is
It’s just a flamer which I already don’t like but for psyker
good
I don't know much about darktide but I've played FFXIV for 5 years and been teaching people how to get better at playing healers in that game for 3 of those years
some people are genuinely utterly clueless for a whole variety of reasons and come to their own conclusions from that
that previous situation could've been much better handled but it takes a fucking saint to have that patience
I get that you get a bit tense about it after a while
I do too in many games and sometimes come out guns blazing
Honestly when I started out as a Psyker (Currently a Psyker main). I hated the Trauma staff since I would just get interrupted everytime I charged the secondary fire so I dogged on it and recommended it to my bud to never use it but after I got to Level 30 and my staffs werent shit in stats and I played better I understood that I was wrong and it's pretty good
the number of people I've seen mald out at clueless new players because they have to deal with hordes of said players is high
It needs that retail patience
it grinds away at your sanity yeah lmfao
Exactly
yeah I don't mind it if they were a new player or used a staff with bad stats
It might be their first X question, but to you it can be the 50th
and they showed the staff that they used and that they had 240 hours, so I just blasted them
I get annoyed at new players misinforming other new players
Yeah he blasted me
So Last night people were saying wildfire does nothing.
Tried without them with it.
Soul blaze went from 20% of my damage to 30%
He traumatized
Youtubers are the worst in this game
you know, being correct is a not a prerequisite to being nice to them.
y'all were assholes
bro's staff was bricked lol
just but a smile emoji and say hey i think you'll enjoy it later -
That video showed me I was playing trauma wrong. Trauma isnt a support build
I was running shield and smite
doing some pre-reasoning as to why you had a poor performance with a weapon is what I'd expect before you just say that it's a bad staff in a public space
Misinformation is something I take seriously, but someone having a bad take on their own is fine
yea that's an asshole statement, though.
this isn't a court of law
Like if someone wants to run lacerate because they want to
it's a chatfeed
I don't disagree that I'm being an asshole
lovely
But if they tell someone else to run lacerate, I'm pulling the stop sign
but I certainly want people to think about why they were performing bad with a weapon
I don't think it's fair to expect Arco to have the patience of a Buddha when man children come in here argueing
I have no idea what’s happening I just started using this chat, help
Cock
I run builds that people run and don't get the same performance, and my first conclusion isn't that the build is bad
This isn't a church, if people act stupid they can told to shut it
yeah I see this a lot too, people with their own misconceptions telling them to others and i have to step in LMFAO
Because I didnt run shriek and have two ogryns running crowd control on my team
siblings, How could I improve this?
I dont even bother trying to explain knife blessings by now
I more asking if flak armor is the best
if you wanted to
To confusing
Homie got a goated purgatus
ah gotcha
doesnt get much better than what you have
Ngl this noon I spent like half an hour browsing the Darktide sub and telling people off on shit takes
rolling for a "Perfect" weapon is a waste of sanity and time
oh god
i never touch subreddit or official forums
if they want help they can come to the channels i frequent
Im mostly just disturbed by the amount of critical hit damage i see ingame.
Stuff like "muh stealth players", "muh knife players", "I'm spamming smite and doing nothing else, why is my team dying"
I see people
i see people too. all part of my dream
Say shit like "I'm stunning a special and my team walks by"
FUCKING HIT IT YOURSELF
YOU'RE A PSYKER, NOT MOTHER TERESA
I dont think smite users realize that they often get carried
I dont have the energy anyways to tell them
One day they will probably realize.
it's very easy to feel useful when you see the lightning chaining everywhere and CCing stuff while you sit in bubble, i get it
Smite, like assail, is a great tool people rely too much on
but boy oh boy does it build bad habits
Stunning enemies isn’t as useful as killing them
more like ass fail aye yo gottem
I guess here is my new take, if you are required to run certain tree talents in order to make a god roll staff usable then the staff needs looking at balancing wise
to be fair, evan- isn't that the whole point of making a specific build?
Well, on that I can agree sort of
you center your performance around a specific aspect of your build and maximize its potential
Specifc builds should marginally improve on a already decent weapon
Though I think a problem is how trees are connected
not make a weapon decent in the first place
1/3 of the psykers playing Darktide rn just spam smite and don't realize they are less useful than a bot
For example, you can't get peril toughness DR if you get crit aura
The tree is made so
I have a build with a blazing spirit trauma staff, creeping flames venting shriek, warp charges with the fire thing, and I can carry a lot of my games with it
Why? Idk
I don’t see smite nearly as much as assail or head pop
especially on HISTG-5, the performance is fucking incredible
smite has saved many an auric maelstrom for me
Honestly though im usally happy to see psykers despite whatever they are running
You can't use uhhhh warp damage on non warp kill without assail I think
I dont trust zealots
Some pathing is just stupid
i don’t trust vets
I think they do it intentionally
If you are shoehorned into wildfire, you need a way out of it too
vets do not have a melee weapon. it’s propaganda
the design of the trees is a separate matter yeah lol
cough cough the bottom part of vet tree
Smite has a god-tier swap LMB
Quick zap, instant stun on most enemies
Like revolver fast
Laspistol fast if it doesn't eat your fucking input
Smite is a game changer, I will die on this hill
two pyskers running and swapping smite can take down most threats
I love smite, I don't love RMB spamming 
Hello. Don't mind us.
I've been traumatized by people smiting poxwalkers and 3/4 of them just getting back up
Holy shit
and i'm loading into a match
I did that yesterday
In Spanish?
That hat makes him look like he has a giant mustache.
I can confirm this perk does apply for each individual crit
Just tested in the meat grinder
spawning 30 poxwalkers and criting them filled up my toughness bar
with no talents I gained nothing
this is with trauma
So for someone who's uh, finally biting the bullet and trying Psyker. Anyone got any suggestions / tips. >_>
Try everything our, don't be disappointed by weapins in the begging, psyker really need good synergy of weapons and talents.
cast spells
Don't explode. That kills the psyker.
Some blessings drastically change staffs
If you want something that is easy to get into you can try critstrike
You have 3 weapons
I muted voice chat a long time ago
The other classes have 2
You are squish, dont forget to get out melee and block
skibidi perils of the warp
Ah okay that definitely is what was getting me in trouble earlier.
I usually main Zealot so urge to rush in and cleave, was there.
As I learned. 🤣
was trying out the surge voidstrike with the smite i say its alright
You can play psyker as zealot, it just needs a little incentive
If you have ever play League, you are the ADC/support
You can see stats after a mission? 👀
192 toughness, a force sword and a dream
Psylot is a true monster
Here is my critstrike build, get a good voidstrike staff with warp nexus and surge, perks are flak and crit %
I need to put uncanny on my non-crit sword
Excellent this is most helpful. 😄
Mods if you're on PC.
Oooo it's a mod gotcha.
Commit and use knife.
I do play on Pc, not right now though.
Gotta go do D&D in a bit but wanted to pop in for after to try stuff.
knife is for masochist
Knife psyker is wack, but still interesting
Holy shit I could make a knife shield build
Rush in and pop dome
The thunderdome build
Teach people dome is not used at the spawn
So is there anything special about gun psyker? Or is it kinda just a weird thing people do.
It's powder magic
youll be a decent replacement for a vet
laspistol and revolver are best guns for psyker
I wonder if the autopistol would be a good psyker weapon, use with smite
smite hordes and then pewpew
the stub is my favorite staff
shit's an infinite feedback loop of dopamine
the whaty what?
especially with the brain burst triggering for normal attacks
the stub.
oh the revolver
if only we could smite and shoot laspistol at same time
im slow
So with gun psykers does the "attacks might brain burst target" thing work for gun psyker?
If so I can kinda see the appeal
gun.
Doesn't quite answer my question so I'll test it
It does but it doesnt have a whole ton of synergy with the guns currently
gun psyker is the closest to a veteran i can trust
It was very strong in autopistol era
But with since patch 13, its pretty out of favor due to not meshing well with gunpsyker weapons and also forcibly being attached to BB
Ah, so it's kinda a meme build. I think I get the gist.
the random brain burst thing is cool but triggers against trash mobs too often for my tastes
i'd rather save the point and use it elsewhere
if it only triggered on important enemies it'd be cool
Ammo is a limited resource and pyskers are geared towards warp based attacks
I like random brain burst tbh, then again I use flame force staffs.
For the funny little free warp stacks, though I dont remember if I use warp stacks anymore for my psyker
Random brainburst used to generate warp charges, so you didn't need to pick psychic communion, also the CD was shorter
Kinda limited with peril being so quick to recharge nowadays, but in ye olde days I think I can get the appeal.
That or if you're using a deflector build
Damn , FS nerfs everything
it's a good thing that it's not a free global damage bonus anymore
I’m struggling to remember the old trees
It’s good to know I only need that top right perk for toughness on my crit builds tho
Is psyker supposed to be a bad class?
It's probably the worst out of the 4 currently
But definitely not a bad class
And has some very enjoyable builds and playstyles
hm interesting I think this is the most fun I've had leveling a class
Psyker, I think, is a class that has been misunderstood by many since I started playing
Psyker is as strong as any of the classes
more or less
Ogryn is probably the only class that is overtuned™️ atm
“at least it’s not a veteran” -random passerby
and ofc vet is a little sad on point economy but vet is still strong so lol lmao
Some believe it's a support class because it doesn't deal as much boss damage or something, and some believe it's a mage because "their unique weapon is staves and if you don't use them you're not a #realpsyker"
But psyker's strength is versatility
You won't find another class with infinite blitz or a magical shield
guh
You have no other class that can play off of having 3 weapons because the closest is zealot knives and you can't spam them like psyker blitzes
You can actually make a build with, say, dueling sword, revolver and assail
@spice veldt What perks do you have on your rending + blazing spirit trauma?
Then you nuke elites, you nuke specialists and assail everything that looks at you wrong
And fail at none
Can the flamer zealot get better horde clear? Yeah, sure
Can the plasma vet kill the crushers better? Yeah, sure
the monstrosity in question:
Shield is goated on higher difficulties. Watching a BoNs vomit disappear is great
Can they idfk delete a boss with grenades and ranged? Yeah, totally
But psyker can do respectably well at everything without making sacrifices
Cup over slug is funny.
fucking wheeze
You fall short nowhere if you build the class well, and that's considering many builds that make good use of generalist stuff, like PS6+plasma+shout vet being utterly stupid at carrying
I play Psyker so I can ignore almost all pickups. Feels great
Spam open chests and not worry.
When any class that isn't using the zealot knives and maybe ogryn rocks reloads, that's it
i play psyker to get ammo pickups before the vets
Psyker just pulls out the magic self-reloading blitz and keeps going
I dump the 5 shots on revolver and just pull out assail to make a point
If I need to interrupt my revolver reload, I still can use assail
The same goes for brain burst and smite
Smite is a ranged interrupt you can always use when your gun is empty
yeah being separate from the ammo and grenade pickup economy is great because that means more for the people who are stuck in that economy to go ham
Brain burst allows you to run a close-range weapon like shredder (ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww) and still have tools for any range
It was part of what made autopistol psyker so good outside of the gun itself being busted
When you're mad at someone and pretend to squish their head but psyker actually squishes their head.
i play psyker to any% speedrun perils
Ask a vet with a shredder to kill the sniper across the map
See what he fucking does
is shredder even still ew status?
didn't they nerf it into oblivion?
To me, yeah
Even with BA3, PF4 and flak I still take two years to kill a fucking mauler
iirc yeah the shredder's not geat right now
Doesn’t shredder have highest stagger on all guns period?
The gun is ridiculously underpowered for pretty much anything that isn't maniac and maybe unarmored, I think
just. not enough damage for how fast it burns through it's ammo and not enough ammo in a mag to like really down enough before a reload
oh I thought that ew was at it being overpowered like it was for about 2 weeks
It still does the funny on ragers because of its high modifier, but the rest is oof
my mistake
Columunus autogun or whatever is the rage now
Anyway, and like
I was expecting them to nerf it to 40 (8) rather than to 25(5)
i just picked some random seemingly-good perks since I don't know about the breakpoints and haven't bothered with breakpoints in a while
shredder's great as a stagger interruptor but it does not feel good at any other metric
Cuz obviously 100(20) is too much
You can build an infinite range machine of death on psyker
But 75% nerf is brutal
With no reload downtime
God forbid you take a force sword with deflector and just walk to the gunner pinning your team down
valid. Also thanks for answering always.
maybe maniac if you can hit a one-shot on trappers
I could see using it on zealot if you are using a melee weapon that sucks vs ragers
i think I'm running +carapace +elite for the moment but that's prob not the best
Or take dueling sword and each dodge you do takes you to Portugal
None of zealots melee weapons sucks against ragers lol
😔 Could have been great.
Kid called chainaxe:
Ragers plural plural of plurals. Sea of ragers
So how does one get Cliffhanger achievement with these new abilities. Am I missing something?
If we made a Tactical Chainaxe would it become the ultimate giga ass weapon
Brunt is trolling.
lol
It has all the volts of a prank handbuzzer
Precog to uncanny
Precog to uncanny strikes. Specials to maniac.
I think
The sheer factor of luck in the weapon grind
Just like FS used to have a bugged built-in deflector
From 300 shotguns and 7 bricks
yee
2 swords and an apparently very nice roll
It reduces the modifier further until you start healing the enemy
It melds into their armor to make it thicker
Neat. A matching pair.
Would flak be a better choice then maniac?
Feel like there's more flak boys than maniac boys
It already stabs flak well. Maniac is for those really unruly enemies; mostly mutants.
Helps with the others too.
Alternatively, you could go unyielding.
Unyielding is Ogryns and Bosses right?
No because you're only hitting heads
yip. Dueling sword does decent boss / monster damage
And there's not many flak heads
yip
You mainly care about maniac heads and carapace heads
wtf is this special attack for
Stagger
Try it on various heads.
You can stop anything that isn't a monster. Stop crushers, ragers, maulers, push burster, etc
You can also throw it in for basically free with each heavy stab
If you like the MK 2 dueling sword, the special lets you chain the heavy 1 too.
The special comes out very quickly.
Does anyone know a good high damage build for Psyker by any chance
👁️👁️
I think this is a win for you
Trauma blaze probably
The Atheneum has some builds.
Creeping flames is a great damage boost, but playing aggressively is going to net you more damage.
I tend to be more slow and metered, so my damage is usually lower.
Blaze trauma + creeping flames and revolver + assail + creeping flames are both high damage builds
Thank you friend I have already copied this down c:
Farewell
@plucky flax 's youtube has various builds in action here too. https://www.youtube.com/@swaggarinoblackarino7347
Oh hold up
Copy that down too
Oh right. The Antheneum is in the pinned messages.
we've found him
I've seen a screenshot of a scoreboard that includes soulblaze damage. Does anyone know what i'm talking about and how to get it?
what like this?
yeah
thank you kindly
You can choose what you want to see too.
Yeah I do like that scoreboard for its clean format
the damage breakdown really helps
hard to judge the impact of soulblaze talents and so on without it
lvl 22 lf lvling grp
that's a pretty good purgatus
put +flak/+crit and you're basically done with purgatus lol
its funny my newly lvled psyker has a better weapon then my ogryn who i played awhile
Missing 5 possible stat points. Bricked
those 5 points in cloud radius are critical to a proper purge staff
joke
Max cloud radius IS important, but don't worry about it unless you are really trying to min max.
Good enough will keep you from going bonkers.
you're going to go the rest of your life without seeing a better staff than that
perhaps we'll get red tiers and a 5th character class at some point. there's gotta be a reason for the 5 slots and (currently) 80% max rating on stuff, right?
What they prob shouldve done was make it 100/100 the max; and once reds come out and they want to raise it, let stuff go to 120/100 or 125/100 by interacting with whatever end game system
That way it doesnt confuse the fuck outta everyone
Lol. Just got beat up. No toughness with a sliver of health. The bonk from a bomber's bomb took me out.
And you still have room to raise the cap later on
feel you on that one. played Ogryn for a long time (after getting stuck on my Veteran due to me being a legit noob to the "tide" type game when I started), and Psyker is so squishy 🙈
when that
crusher overhead jumpscare
hits
To be fair, it was dark and I had no idea what was hitting me, cleared the things, then bonk. 😂
Silent crushers sneaking up on their tip toes.
yup. got splatted more than once that way 🙈
yeah silent crushers and maulers showing up and oneshotting you from behind
they jumpscare me like in five night freddy
do soulblaze talents get affected by my staffs burn effect?
ong this is probably usable LMFAO
it’s like a stealth zealot with a maul
not exactly god-tier rolls, but F me, Transfer Peril is so good on even just a halfway decent corridor - can almost clear out a horde by myself 🔥
soulblaze is soulblaze for the purposes of wildfire
creeping flames and perilous will stack fire on top of your staff's stack cap
so are they set on their own dmg?
no the total stack number is what controls dmg per tick
eg, Purgatus stacks to 15, you F with creeping flames, now there are 21 stacks and you do a lot more dps
i see what does the burn% mean then?
controls max number of stacks the staff can apply
15 is only with a 76%+ burn stat staff
80 means 15 im guessing?
nah we have a little leeway
doesn't have to be a perfect 80
but since you have an 80, it will be 15
so 80 is just overkill then
as long as you have 15, yeah you don't really care if it's 76 or 80
just got this from the emperor, how good is this?
Potato 🥔
💯 potato moment
Ok so, I fucking HATED getting my Psyker to level 30. Nothing against you Psyker mains, but the class was just not for me. Then my friend convinced me to play GunPsyker and now I’m having a fantastic time and actively wanting to play Psyker. What witchery is this
Cant read. Thought this said toilet paper.

speaking of guns just got this from emperor's gift is this bricked from a blessing perspective?
Autopistol not good
do veterans have melee weapons?
Super useful really totally wanted this
I can safely say shield is not for me
I mean, I use it well, it just doesn't have that fast-paced oomph shriek does
The gunners were piss-easy the whole match
I'm also seeing what some guy was talking about KD being nearly useless against gunners
I could barely stand with my deflector in front of one before it was filled
Maybe I need deflector 4, but I'm wondering if the difference would be that big
Using 2 now
I run deflector 3 with block efficiency curios and I can tank them while moving from cover to cover, but not indefinitely
It’s good for being a panic button to get into actual cover, you can’t “tank” any gunners ever
Fair
yeah so using deflector with KD is more a thing of protecting yourself from 1 (one) gunner.
you cannot handle more than one for an instant
One actual gunner, several of the dreg/scab shooters
you cannot handle getting flanked by one because the bullet block arc is like 90degrees forward
so it's used for advancing on one gunner or several shooters. or being able to dodgeslide your way to another position while blocking at that one gunner or several shooters
and in those conditions, it's great
yeah i'm just pointing out the use cases/inherent issues with it. you get cocky with it you die for it.
Oh yeah
You can roleplay Darth vader on malice tho
It’s fun from time to time 😂
Walk around just ignoring the shooters
Zealot has based heavy sword
Every time I try to use other stuff on zealot I go back to my precious boy the hsword
yes but I also want duelling sword
Yes give psyker hsword
It would be based
Do it
