I am willing to make this trade if both our classes can have both these weapons, yes

#

(or at least one variant of them)

zinc phoenix
#

I cannot consent as I cannot implement

GO! IPPO!

I find two headshots from ole reliable and crusher is down

#

Then just gotta run for five minutes to reload

#

why is 'Complete [X amount] missions without blowing yourself up' not part of the Psyker's penances? 🙈

#

not that I'd ever be able to achieve those, but.. just an idea 😆

feral verge
#

you'll learn someday

#

takes time

#

i have 1.5k hours and i still blow up every once and awhile

zinc phoenix
#

I think it’s inevitable. I was playing sienna on release vt1 and I still blow up 😂

feral verge
#

no argument

maiden wolf
#

Does anyone know if rolling a curio from purple to orange has a higher chance of giving you a T4 perk?

half iron
#

last time i blew up was surging one time too much

zinc phoenix
#

I got frisky with trauma after not playing it for a while

#

And was using shield instead of shriek

ornate hamlet
#

ngl

#

Part of why I started gun psyker was because of the game eating my inputs and making me do that extra staff LMB when trying to swap to melee and attack

#

Eventually I was like "okay, go fuck yourself with a pine tree, I'm getting a gun because at least that one blows up forward"

maiden wolf
ornate hamlet
#

I need to make one

#

Last I played it was several patches ago and it left me severely scarred

#

Like, it was so shit

lunar hollow
#

the team collectively shits the bed

#

every time

potent echo
#

yes or yesn't

maiden wolf
lunar hollow
#

those fkin ogryns DISAPPEARED

ornate hamlet
#

But then the shredder now sucks, so anything can happen

#

I remember it 1) needing the full auto mod and 2) kicking like a mule at max fire rate to no real damage gain over the MG12

maiden wolf

I'm glad it changed a bit

maiden wolf
#

The green and blue one have the same dps at least

#

IIRC the brown one has slightly lower DPS.

i wish i recorded my gameplay just has the most intense clutch of my life

maiden wolf

#

we died after a bit but i saved the run twice

#

i also finally got evasive been trying to get that for ages

maiden wolf
#

With ranged dodge on critical hit you can play like a pre-patch veteran.

#

Honestly, Scrier's gaze would be better if it just highlighted enemies.

#

90% of its usefulness is just highlighting enemies through walls.

spice veldt
#

maybe like banshee's ability from Warframe to give an additional random spot that counts as a weakspot

#

a general highlight enemies through walls would prob be more thematic of the name though

maiden wolf
#

But yeah, being aple to sense enemies through walls is literally a Psyker thing.

spice veldt
#

I like it as a dive this one particular enemy, though the economy is reliant on not having teammates that can kill things and having patrol spawns

maiden wolf
spice veldt
#

I'm a fan of the current system, so I'd make the stacks be cut in half every time the timer decays

#

instead of just setting it to 0 each time

#

and reducing the 30 stack node to 25 or whatever to balance this change out if need be

maiden wolf
#

I think it would be way more popular if it also highlighted enemies for your teammates, and gave you the stack no matter who killed them.

lunar hollow
#

tbh i dont really have a problem keeping stacks up

#

unless im fuckin off to grab plasteel

#

cuz itll highlight random bruisers/shooters all the time and thats just easy

spice veldt
#

I like the more personal aspect of having to get the kills yourself

lyric burrow
#

yeah i can just poke them

#

esp since im flying around with it anyway

spice veldt
#

just to keep the economy stuff and as an incentive

#

I don't like "...on ally kills" stuff

lunar hollow
#

i hate the "when your teammate does this u get the reward" stuff

#

like elite kill cdr

#

should not be happenin when an ally kills smth

long wharf
#

It'd be a lot less useful if it only proc'd on your kills

lunar hollow
#

yeah

long wharf
#

Competing for kills leads to players using their mechanics less

lunar hollow
#

its not like an active thing, ur killin stuff either way

#

ult cooldown reduction is way too prevalent in this game

spice veldt
#

rewarding individual players is nice nevertheless

lunar hollow
#

it heavily limits what you can do with ult cooldowns as a balancing tool

#

and DD would be so fuckin easy to stack if allies could get the stacks for you

spice veldt
#

Psyker aura having to be shot in the knees from 15% to 5%

lunar hollow
#

it'd literally just remove the point of it

#

because warp charges already has the upgrade for 4% chance on any kill from allies

potent echo
spice veldt
#

DD would seem a lot better if we had more force staffs that could take better advantage of the buff it gives

lunar hollow
spice veldt
#

sooo true!!!!

lunar hollow
lyric burrow
#

i dont hate the CDR in this game but its probably a little strong

#

however FS seems to have wanted to make CDR strong

long wharf
#

The aura radius node needs to do more, like double the aura effect as well

lyric burrow
#

but yeah at least 2 of my classes are built around being able to spam F

spice veldt
#

coherency benefits being whatever also plays into that

lunar hollow
#

the problem with aura radius is coherency gets turned off in any intensity spike

#

coherency could do with some changes but at the same time we're not exactly hurting for player power rn

lyric burrow
#

yeah i dont think its really needs to be better unless other stuff gets changed

#

like being together with the current player power is inherently strong

lunar hollow
#

if u have 2 players who know what theyre doing u clear hishocks with a super high WR

olive ember
#

If we didn’t need more player power than explain why the fuck the randoms are wiping two rooms in

lyric burrow
#

they are bad

lunar hollow
#

because pub players are bad

spice veldt
#

don't be a random

lunar hollow
#

and if ur constantly losing ur games

#

there is 1 common factor

lyric burrow
#

or something didnt make the proper sound cue and they died

lunar hollow
#

and it aint the randos

spice veldt
#

be the one good player in your team

lunar hollow
#

u can carry hi5-

#

consistently

#

because the game doesnt throw enough disablers to meme you

lyric burrow
#

which is probably good

olive ember
#

I’m fine until I have to deal with boss with hounds and horde and I look over and my 3 rando teammates just went down to a few gunners

#

Fun time

lyric burrow
#

i didnt mind disablers still trappers got fucked

lunar hollow
#

the answer is just be better at preventing death spirals

#

u have to know when someone is showing signs of buckling under the pressure of a single gunner catching them w/o toughness

#

because this happens to anyone

untold widget
olive ember
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

Just annoying when I should be the one getting relieved

untold widget
#

I'm also a big fan of getting netted through a pillar

olive ember
#

Cuz you know specials + horde + boss

lyric burrow
#

i wouldnt trust randos to have target prio

olive ember
#

And the chuckles die to random gunners they can just avoid by walking behind cover

lunar hollow
#

u just play close to ur teammates

#

so that if these things happen

#

you are there to stop it

lyric burrow
#

cause there target prio is whatever is on them since they cant deal with it well

spice veldt
#

the hitbox for the net sure is lenient when it passes by obstacles but not so much as it grazes you

lunar hollow
#

because a handful of gunners is something 1 guy can kill

lyric burrow
#

some people also just bring wack loadouts

lunar hollow
#

in pubs ur just trying to find whoever is the most competent and gluing yourself to them

lyric burrow
#

that cant deal with random common scenarios

lunar hollow
#

sliding around a corner

#

but the net touches my hair

#

and i am suddenly encased in wires

lyric burrow
#

also the reason you cant dodge them point blank i think

#

the nets are large

lunar hollow
#

trappers should never have stagger res

#

its so stupid

lyric burrow
#

idk if its that or they track too hard

lunar hollow
#

if i push this motherfucker

spice veldt
#

I've had multiple instances where I'm around a corner and the net seems like it'll be blocked by the corner or that "oh hey I'm behind the corner surely I'll be safe 🙂 "

lunar hollow
#

it should STOp the netting

olive ember
#

I should play auric more but I feel myself tilt from like 2 games if auric

lunar hollow
#

legit just like

olive ember
#

So I just play Damnation now kekw

lunar hollow
#

if theres a pillar in between

lyric burrow
untold widget
#

the nets are also no-clip on anything except players

lunar hollow
#

you NEVER assume the pillar works

#

because it does until it causes you to lose a match and then

spice veldt
#

infrastructure on tertium sucks

lunar hollow
olive ember
#

I dodge based in sound queue tbh

#

As in even if I don’t see the trapper or know where it is

#

I dodge if I hear the net

lunar hollow
#

my number 1 prio for trapper is putting it on its ass

lyric burrow
#

i do as well although sometimes its a 50/50

lunar hollow
#

because nothing else prevents stupid bullshit

lyric burrow
#

on which side its on

#

side of me or behind me

#

cause i cant always tell

candid mesa
#

I'm content

lyric burrow
#

esp since stuff like scriers actually deafens you

olive ember
#

also randoms have this really cool ability to fling me off bridges with barrels

#

It’s like uncanny

spice veldt
#

I've done some no-look dodges and gotten owned

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

Most of my deaths recently have been to barrels

spice veldt
#

I lost a cool clutch because I got cocky with a no-look trapper dodge

lyric burrow
#

anything thats a railing or fence will never stop a net

#

stairs too

spice veldt
#

fuckin did some nice kiting and everything and just got owned

lyric burrow
#

i pretty much only trust walls

zinc phoenix
#

Trust nothing but dodge

lunar hollow
#

i dont trust anything at this point

#

ive tilted so hard when you get rubberbanded out of a dodge

#

into an instakill

spice veldt
#

josho internet moment

lunar hollow
#

dude

olive ember
#

I mean I no look dodge more for safety just cuz when there’s specials all over the place with a horde

lyric burrow
lunar hollow
#

i was fucking MELTING

#

steam out of my ears

#

when i got rubberbanded out of a sniper dodge

olive ember
#

It’s better to dodge imo than to stand there

lunar hollow
#

into a silent crusher overhead

maiden wolf
# maiden wolf I think it would be way more popular if it also highlighted enemies for your tea...
lunar hollow
clever cedar
#

8 maulers not attacking in sync

lyric burrow
#

trappers also really like to come up on me the second ive used most of my dodges fighting something else which is like my bad but also annoying

olive ember
#

Are crushers supposed to be silent even

lyric burrow
#

because trappers tilt me for some reason

lyric burrow
lunar hollow
#

like why the FUCK are you getting in my face

#

to throw a net i can't dodge

zinc phoenix
spice veldt
#

elite patrols suddenly becoming more quiet the moment they're aggrod

lunar hollow
#

because you're IN MY FACE

#

this isn't fun

spice veldt
#

like, elite patrols have these heavy footsteps when they're roaming around, and they'll no longer have this once they're aggrod

lunar hollow
#

elites need to like

#

fuckin scream

#

just make em go nuts

maiden wolf
lunar hollow
#

lights out sucks when you get the 4-5 ragers who don't make any noise until their attack animations begin

lyric burrow
lunar hollow
#

like OH OKAY YOU'RE IN MY ASS

#

COOL

lyric burrow
#

like i should just kill it

lunar hollow
#

THAT'S A THING NOW

lyric burrow
#

but sometimes im busy

spice veldt
#

owo

zinc phoenix
#

Of course I also play gunker like I’m a zealot

lunar hollow
#

between shit like that

#

and certain weapons having attacks you can't block cancel

maiden wolf
lunar hollow
#

like slab shield

#

so if ur doing a heavy at a doorway

#

and a burster that sounds 30meters away turns the corner

ornate hamlet

Trapper stagger is so fucking annoying

trust no one, not even block cancels

#

trust in the qq swap

ornate hamlet
#

Actually I know exactly how the trapper stagger feels

lyric burrow
#

yeah i QQ swap ngl

lunar hollow
#

like 75% of gun bashes don't fkin push bursters in a safe direction

spice veldt
#

some attacks not being block-cancellable is so god damn annoying

maiden wolf
lunar hollow
#

and honestly my reflexes

spice veldt
#

not even intuitive

lunar hollow
#

are not lettin me qq swap

lyric burrow
#

or if i see a burster coming i think i think i might clip it ill flick my mouse down to swing at the floor and then push it

lunar hollow
#

and then push

ornate hamlet
#

This is trapper stagger

lunar hollow
lyric burrow
#

yeah sound is really annoying

zinc phoenix
#

Sometimes I feel like my teammates are auditioning for the role of Skyrim npc with how little they react to specials

ornate hamlet
#

also I might be going crazy

lyric burrow
#

people are simply unaware

zinc phoenix
#

Like you can clearly hear a burster is coming and they’re all like “must have been the wind”

and i couldnt do anything except back away

Do i need perfect timing?

not needed imo

untold niche

okeh tenks
what you feel about the build in general

lyric burrow
#

seems fine although i personally like the last node of scriers

spice veldt
#

with ds4 and vstrike, you might opt for DD instead

#

especially for point efficiency

lyric burrow
#

yeah DD would work well

spice veldt
#

since warp siphon is fairly expensive to go down

lyric burrow
#

as well

untold niche
#

can i still one tap crushers with DD :o

zinc phoenix
lyric burrow
#

they also arent super needed for void i mostly just use them on blazing trauma

lunar hollow
lyric burrow
#

but they are fine anyway

lunar hollow
#

they have to set the values

spice veldt

so you have certain spots on certain maps that just fucking DIE

ornate hamlet

I'mma say

lunar hollow

but others work mostly fine

zinc phoenix

thats an impressive amount of work

unless you start scrier's at 100% peril

scrier has what bugs

spice veldt
#

I think the CD interaction with warp charges is the only one

but it needs a mild buff imo

1000%+ crit chance

spice veldt
#

and being able to exit out of scrier's gaze at will

spice veldt
# untold niche how come

the bonus you get is relatively specific to certain weapons, and the peril cost increases at a rate that makes it impractical to use anything but non-force weapons

#

you have to go very much out of your way to get 30 stacks

untold niche
harsh urchin
#

I would rather see it completely reworked

#

I dislike the current design

potent echo
#

+2% melee attack speed perstack whatthefuck_heresy

untold niche
spice veldt
#

you can prob do that with transfer peril and whatnot

quell 10% peril on headshot blessing for vstrike

untold niche
#

I thought vstrike has like only two good blessings :v

harsh urchin
#

No lol

#

The old school flurry+transfer build is out of meta

#

But still quite good

untold niche
#

So for my build what blessings are suggested good sir

#

( I was reading athenumbumbumb and seems only like 2/3 good picks)

harsh urchin
#

I recommend either nexus surge for crit VS, or flurry transfer for noncrit VS

#

You can alao try something like surge flurry; itll feel good to play but i doubt itll be as effective as fully building into or out of crit

olive ember
#

Surge flurry is basically trying to abuse true aim procs

untold niche
#

And I don't have true aim ;-;

#

With nexus surge can I still use SG and shoot my staff
Cause arco said I need transfer peril blessing

olive ember
#

Ehh yes but I wouldn’t recommend it

#

It’s anti synergy because nexus you want to try and stay above 80 peril to maximize crit chance

#

But Scriers is generally all about trying to delay hitting 100 peril as long as possible imo

untold niche
#

Ye

#

So I go surge and the blessing arco suggested?

olive ember
#

You mainly use Scriers for stuff like guns, or if you are using like niche setups like a blazing spirit + rending shockwave trauma

#

If you go surge with transfer peril you could prob take Scriers for some effect

#

I’ve never tried it so idk

untold niche
#

Wait so scrier and voidstaff no work tgt? ;-;

#

I was told it's doable just that you have to quell

harsh urchin
#

Scrier kinda very mid lol

#

The other two are much better

placid crypt
#

It's just a dangerous build, make a mistake in the heat of the moment and scriers works against you

thorn cedar
#

Scriers only gives you 10% damage and 20% crit chance while its active. It's not much. Everything else it does is based on stacks.

placid crypt
#

Shriek and shield both provide much more defensive attributes, either via removing peril or just plain protection

thorn cedar
#

If you can't reliably hit 20 stacks with whatever you're using, other options are probably better.

placid crypt
#

And Psyker is already a glass cannon

untold niche
thorn cedar
#

If you take that node yeah

untold widget
thorn cedar
#

Otherwise no

#

Only Voidstrike does headshots.

harsh urchin
#

Which is like the least threatening thing in the game

#

Compared to shout which can be used to vent quickly, stagger a pox, stagger a crusher/rager; or shield which basically completely neutralizes gunners/bombers/snipers

spice veldt
#

for finesse weapons

olive ember
#

It works

zinc phoenix
spice veldt
#

death

#

being unable to exit at will is one of my biggest gripes with it

zinc phoenix
#

But to compensate you go super fast

#

It would be nice if second f ended it tho

#

I love getting the speed boost up and then zipping between teammates obliterating stuff

harsh urchin
#

I would like the finesse synergy reworked into more of a generic thing, and i would like the heat thing reworked into something that could work with both staves and guns

zinc phoenix
#

I like having a gunker line

harsh urchin
#

I dislike that the forced finesse synergy and heat shit means that only guns work for it

zinc phoenix
#

There are already two staff trees

harsh urchin
#

I mean

zinc phoenix
#

Leave gunker alone 😭

harsh urchin
#

I want it to be generic and work for everything

cosmic sigil
harsh urchin
#

Thats better design than "this only works for guns"

olive ember
#

Fucking vets can have infinite exe stance

harsh urchin
#

Ye

#

They reverted the vet shit so fast

zinc phoenix
harsh urchin
#

And sg is stuck with the shit

zinc phoenix
#

It balances out

weak widget
#

so enemies can't get more than 6 stacks of soulblaze from blazing spirit? you have to use different sources of soulblaze to stack over 6?

#

I feel like even with 10 stacks it's not enough to finish off horde enemies

olive ember
#

6 is enough to kill everything shooters and below

weak widget
#

when I could get more critical hits instead and instagib everything instead of playing some dots waiting game

olive ember
#

Pretty sure it kills bruisers too but I’d have to check

#

What staff first of all

weak widget
#

I kind of wish there was specific sfx for soulblaze deaths

#

trauma

olive ember
#

yeah blazing spirit is decent on trauma

#

there is no reason to run crit on trauma otherwise

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

unless they changed the crit modifier which to my knowledge they didn't touch at all, trauma crit does like 50 extra damage

weak widget
olive ember
#

i mean there's three ways to build trauma rn, the third option i'm not sure how good

#

you can run warp flurry + rending shockwave/focused channeling

unborn flicker
#

trauma is still pain

olive ember
#

which is just much explosions, armor strip, etc.

#

the 2nd way to build it is to run warp nexus + blazing spirit

unborn flicker
#

I cant find a reason to use it over surge

olive ember
#

lmao

#

surge is trash

#

what?

#

anyways i digress

olive ember
#

so literally like 50 extra damage

weak widget
#

why would you ever get focused channeling

olive ember
#

uhhh @spice veldt is the one who likes it

#

but its basically stun resist

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

so you cant get stunned out of blast, etc.

weak widget
olive ember
olive ember
weak widget
#

I don't know

olive ember
#

lemme get on and check screw it

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

yes which is why its trash rn, I'd argue its mediocre even when its not bugged but

#

thats another discussion thats not worth getting into

#

until its fixed

#

again

zinc phoenix
#

For the 500th time

#

(But not really)

compact bluff
# weak widget why would you ever get focused channeling

because stuns are a remarkably bad design decision and focused channeling is the only way for a psyker to avoid stuns from hits. aside from you know... avoiding the hit
its not an optimal blessing but its very nice qol at least

unborn flicker
#

I like it simply because of the cc it gives

weak widget
#

can trauma even hit weakspot?

olive ember
#

nope

unborn flicker
#

Its faster than the other staffs too

olive ember
#

well

#

its lmb can

zinc phoenix
#

Fire trauma so good

strong gulch
#

LMB can 🙃

weak widget
#

yeah but with right click no

zinc phoenix
#

Get some fire shriek in there oh man 🔥

strong gulch
#

correct

olive ember
#

Anyways besides warp flurry + rending shock/focused channeling, blazing spirit + warp nexus

waxen abyss
#

Trauma with surge blessing+nexus lulkas

weak widget
#

I wish they would do a pass over all the useless shit, surge blessing on trauma being a huge bait

olive ember
#

the 3rd way to run trauma is blazing spirit + rending shockwave

#

the idea is that you spread fire and then with armor strip that fire can actually hurt crushers n shit

#

but you have to supplement this staff with scriers gaze

zinc phoenix
olive ember
#

you are basically running full right side tree for like 15% crit and then slap on scriers for another 20%

#

I've ran it once, it works, but honestly I couldn't tell how good it was

waxen abyss
#

Honesty a trauma surge blessing build isn’t too bad. You delete anything smaller than Ogryn for no ammo relatively fast

unborn flicker
waxen abyss

#

what happens if enemies have dot debuffs and i switch to melee weapon with +carapace damage

olive ember
#

pretty sure it boosts but I'm not too certain on that

weak widget
#

bruh

zinc phoenix
#

Don’t stare too deeply into the void

waxen abyss
#

Damage modifiers are applied at moment of hit not moment of cast, but idk if it snapshots DoT at moment of hit or keeps altering the dps based on modifiers

weak widget
#

wonder if anyone knows at fatshark

#

but they probably wouldn't risk answering

olive ember
#

they've changed it a bit so im not sure

#

but Ik a tech people used to do was apply fire

#

and then stroke illisi to build peril

#

and warp unleashed buff would get applied to the dot

#

same thing with slaughterer stacks from the force sword

#

they changed it a bit so I'm not particularly sure how it works anymore but some of the interactions are still there

#

this is actually the entire justification for bringing ascendant blaze wildfire instead of ascendant blaze warp battery with autopistol gun psyker build pre class rework

zinc phoenix
#

Guess they initially figured the memory overhead of persisting the weapon mod state with the dot wasn’t worth it over just calling the active weapon for cpu but then players gonna player so

olive ember
#

because both pinning fire as well as illisi slaughterer stacks etc. could buff dot damage and allow 4 stacks to kill shit

weak widget
#

sustained fire blessing on trauma would increase power on my third and fourth consecutive charge cast?

olive ember
#

@weak widget can confirm that crits have been changed

#

its like 200 extra damage now

olive ember
#

don't think that changes any breakpoints on any of the tougher enemies tho

weak widget

I mean I didn't play the game from beta until the skill tree update

unborn flicker
#

idg the hype with trauma

olive ember
#

it really isn't you are comparing single target TTK in a hordeshooter game that spams 20 ragers at you

also surge staff TTK isn't even consistent now that it can hit limbs

well causing the squad of 10 ragers to trip does help keep everyone alive

#

how many will you kill with surge before the leftover kill your team?

unborn flicker
#

thats when I pull out smite 😉

weak widget
#

I guess

#

trauma can stun everyone and do damage at the same time

olive ember
#

Trauma is literally meta along with voidstrike rn

#

saying surge is better than trauma is

#

a take

#

The real answer is that if you really value the single target damage of the Surge so much

#

voidstrike does what surge does

#

but better

#

with more CC

#

and less peril

#

and more range

unborn flicker
#

voidstrike requires too much time to charge

hasty ether
#

purgatus is solid too

olive ember
#

What

#

voidstrike is literally one extra second to charge

weak widget
#

btw the damage table in game doesn't take into account the equipped perks right? only the base weapon stats?

hasty breach
#

if i want to gunpsyker? is the kantrael mk 12 a decent starting place?

olive ember
#

Purge is decent too but its limit range hurts it

hasty ether
#

thats why you take brainburst with purg

olive ember
#

yes

olive ember
#

gun psyker builds around crit, so you want guns which can utilize said crit

olive ember
#

yes

#

pretty sure atleast tbh I don't look at damage tables all that much XD

weak widget
#

this game could be so much better, god

olive ember
#

there is a damage calculator out there which factors in perks n stuff

weak widget
#

the crafting system is so odd, the interactions are all so enigmatic

#

blessings being not shared between staves is odd when most are the same, I can't imagine what it must be like for a casual player

olive ember
weak widget
#

oh voidstrike penetrates?

olive ember
#

its 12 cleave iirc

#

so iirc it will pen everything besides maulers and ogryns

weak widget
#

need to get me one

olive ember
#

I mean its 12 cleave is actually one of its weaknesses

#

better now that its 12, as opposed to 6 pre rework

#

but 12 pales in comparison to trauma and purge which both have infinite cleave

#

and better than the surge staff with a whopping TARGET LIMIT of 2

#

There was a funny thing pre rework where the surge staff was actually better against crushers than teh voidstrike solely because it had a target limit of 5, which meant it could hit 5 crushers, where as the voidstrike could only hit a cleave limit of 6, which was literally one crusher

#

but now that surge staff is a 2 target weapon even that difference is less noticeable

untold widget
#

Pretty sure fully charged voidstrike still penetrates crushers, maybe even bulwarks

olive ember
#

it doesn't

#

voidstrike can ignore shield of bulwarks however

untold widget
#

I mean it does for me I guess I'm saying

#

because I shoot through the ogryns to kill the gunners like.. all the time

#

what blessing on voidstrike again

#

transfer peril + flurry right?

#

if you've got surge, I recommend it

I'm running transfer peril and surge just because the locked blessing is transfer peril

I'd suggest warp nexus + surge

surge blessing

transfer peril on surge is unreliable and you are fishing for crits

tho some people think its worth to bring

but surge have no aoe for horde and short range tho

I get to watch them hit a gunner and not kill it because funny inconsistencies

dont have surge perk so ig ill just sub it in with flurry

above 50% peril all gunners get 1 shot with surge staff and warp rider

lethal lagoon
#

Also yes, just crying in general.

olive ember
#

thats cute

untold widget
#

adorable. also true

lethal lagoon
untold widget
#

they fixed the limb targetting thing so its not inconsistent anymore, other than crit fishing

unborn flicker
#

surge staff isnt as good as it was last patch, but its damage and cc are top notch

olive ember
#

it still is inconsistent

#

because they didn't factor in armor values

#

see that funny dreg gunner which has a flak chest? too bad you hit its arms or legs and those are unarmoured

#

so you don't one shot it, even if you took +flak

lethal lagoon
#

They absolutely did not fix the limb targetting thing. They just gave it a flat damage boost to hold over in the meantime when it targets limbs.

olive ember
#

they made it so targeting limbs don't automatically nerf its damage in half

bold maple
#

before class rework transfer peril and flurry let you spam voidstrike staff pretty much forever with no quelling needed

olive ember
#

but if you have perks targeting specific armors

#

like flak

#

and you hit their limbs and their limbs aren't flak

bold maple
#

I feel like it's got more dps on surge + nexus but not as much burst

olive ember
#

well too bad you don't get the damage boost

lethal lagoon
#

Surge staff also seems to do more boss damage, esp nurgle, for.... reasons?

#

Mind you it's still mid-tier for boss damage

olive ember
severe folio
#

gotta have to learn to delegate duties into your many tools that you can carry

lethal lagoon
#

But I ocassionally get 1st or 2nd for boss damage just spamming surge and it's a bit weird.

olive ember
#

but now its does full damage against bosses

severe folio
#

cant just put all the roles onto a single weapon

olive ember
#

so its actually "better"

#

and you don't have to care about the jankiness that is different body parts have different armor values with bosses

severe folio
#

its apparently a bug that surge couldnt do well on monst before, and now it has been remedied

lethal lagoon
#

It sucks the jankiness can't target the nurgle weakspot though

#

kind of weird it only doesn't work on nurgle

severe folio
#

now its dealing the damage it suppose to deal

#

on monst

#

well because nurg weakspot is unique compare to other monst\

#

other monst have a designated head

olive ember
#

Surge staff can't hit weakspots with rmb anyways

lethal lagoon
#

Yes it can

severe folio
#

it can now

olive ember
#

oh right

#

it does that now

lethal lagoon
#

Spec into true aim and watch the stacks

#

or just look for the orange in the psych

severe folio
#

but does it receive the extra weakspot damage

lethal lagoon
#

Yes

severe folio
#

or can it only register weakspot hit

#

very crazy

#

just like a lightning bolt

lethal lagoon
#

Lightning bolts are actually pretty consistent

#

But in fantasy it's usually not

#

So let's go with that

lethal lagoon
#

Is that real or is he just drunk?

this is real

Lmao

its not even real lightning

because if a bomber pulls a grenade and you electrocute him, he drops it

lethal lagoon

#

which is impossible

severe folio
#

true

should have rip his body apart

untold widget
#

so I think it's just plasma that deals burn damage

lethal lagoon
#

Also, back when it did no damage to unarmored and stuff but more damage to carpace and flak

#

That's the opposite of how lightning works

severe folio
#

well its warp shit so

lethal lagoon

Warp lightning does whatever it wants

severe folio

warp lightning does whatever it want

it's just concentrated soulfire

that may be a possibility

but then why does it freeze other enemies up

too much burning to use legs

severe folio

sensory overload ?

burning can do that ?

probably

severe folio

doubt that

its why you can only stop drop and roll

well that doesnt sound like a result of sensory overload

they only get as far as stop before dying

that doesnt seem to be the same as freezing up

what's really fucking me up is how my name plus fs number is exactly as long as your name without

Oh fuck, you know how surge does those little ticks of damage? Those can weakspot for true aim.

severe folio
#

well they blow up after they die, before they die

lethal lagoon

I never noticed.

Thats... pretty wild.

severe folio

yeah

seeing that i can customize these hammer and sword head on my staffs

we could have had some degree of greatness

also you're right. I don't always 1 shot with surge on gunners, except if it crits

I used the staff melee recently

which I run true aim on, so it just feels like it does

I really dislike how the game punishes you for using your ability with warp charges

i think that exists to stop you from having an (effectively) permanant buff throughout the entirety of a mission

they could do half stacks

or only 1 left

but it's a badly designed buff then

not really

lethal lagoon

From a different perspective, it's kind of hard to choose anything over a 24% BASE damage buff and a 30% peril reduction buff.

it should empower the next ability if anything and getting the charges should require more attention

brave fiber

i dont find it too hard to build up stacks after spending them

Ayo, add warp charges back to BB, and give a different third keystone, would finally make BB viable.

brave fiber

whats the issue then

compact bluff
# severe folio hmm

it also has no cleave damage falloff so its measly 84 damage still applies to 22 groaners which actually makes it bizarrely okay?
plus its cleave is so massive you can hit and stun 2 crushers with it per swing. which is almost useless but unique and funny

it's just stupid that you have to discharge them when using an ability that you use when you need that damage
