Depends on what game you think you are playing
The same one as you
I actually just loaded up the psykhanium because someone brought it up and it doesn't seem to affect melee block efficiency. A mauler's horizontal swing was 29% on both no deflector and deflector 4
If you think of darktide as a DPS puzzle, you would have to evaluate how bubble contributes to that
No one here is more valid than anyone else, despite what you act like.
Are you using kinetic deflection?
There's a weird interaction there
its less "preventing" and more allowing you to not be forced to learn the fundamentals, which honestly just harms you in the long run imo
That's only true of the blessing is just suddenly gone one day
Kinetic deflection reduces peril based on total stam, block efficiency only reduces the stamina loss it doesn't change the peril
avoiding ranged damage by dodge sliding and getting better positioning helps you on al lthe clases that dont have deflector too#
yes
EP surge 
Or that the individual is just incapable of improving later on lol
Yeah, block efficiency does nothing for peril blocking, total stam augments that
I wouldn't say incapable, but by using crutches they will be unwilling to move away from it
there is three classes that dont have deflector, you'd learn it for them
But that's no one else's problem
I play all the classes myself, I see the value of blocking ranged attacks on this character and it isn't making me bad at melee
It's legit no one's business but the player
Maybe the argument going on here is more about Illisi idk, I never felt like I'm missing headshot breakpoints on the deimos that I otherwise wouldn't if I brought something in place of Deflector.
I rarely take out my deimos more than ~3 seconds at a time unless I'm trying to get out of a horde, and I don't know how much that 20% from Unstable Power is realistically impactful in a real game. That being said I didn't have any memorable moments where Deflector could save me that dodge slide spamming wouldn't.
who said it does?
Deflector has its merits for sure
I wouldn't say deflector is a crutch either, it doesn't save you from gunner patrols
I think most people would grab slaughterer first, then as a second the argument is for uncanny
Which is fine when it is ramped up into flak and carapace, but how often are you using that weapon into those armor types?
Vs, how much use can you make from blocking range and getting 30% block efficiency
Always...?
Ye
Carapace is the biggest reason to have uncanny
Slaughterer + Shred Illisi is super sick, my go-to melee horde clear option
You wouldn't catch me using an illisi 
Yeah I still don't have shred on my ilisi I don't think
But it's lit all the same
It's super quick with or without shred
Oh no I'm wrong. I do
yeah but the added crit helps with mixed hordes a lot
The other perk is exorcist
I haven't found the block efficiency to be much useful, I run a stam curio and I could already kite demonhosts and melee elites with it and kinetic deflection. If Deflector had something else than the block eff then people would probably consider it more than just slapping on more damage blessings
has anyone actually done the 'power up' penance
I dumped KD to grab more damage talents
And run stam instead
i did most psyker penances on accident tbh
which one is this? I have all of the psyker penances
kill 100 specialist/elite enemies while at max warp stacks with brain burst
(on malice or higher)
I can't imagine doing it on malice or lower
Brain burst is a good blitz and I will fight anyone that says otherwise
it doesn't even spawn any specialists there
saving this comment next time someone says nobody uses bb
Most builds already path towards KD to get the +5% crit, idk how much more damage you could get from the tree over a single point, seems like a missed opportunity at that point
i fight with you
so yeah, I kill plenty of elites and specialists with brain burst at max stacks even after having done the penance
It's two points
I freed points to grab Regen on crit and 3% damage stacking 5 times
its really not that hard, kill things before your team even encounters them/are preoccupied with hordes
BR is good
how is it two? so you don't grab the crit node in your build? what are you running?
on higher threats theres more than enough elites to kill
Two shots bulwarks for far
oh wait it counts shotgunners
okay this is gonna be easy
the game throws about 200 shotgunners directly at me every match
I don't grab the crit node, 5% crit chance is whatever imo.
If crit 2x your damage, 5% crit is = to 2.5% damage on average, not amazing
take emp with bb to make it even easier
I feel like every game picks 3 flavours of elites and throw those at you
Do you want me to PM you my build?
Sometimes its rager bulwark
Maybe it's based on your team comp
brain burst does just fine when you need to pick off key elites that no one else is or when you're anticipating threats during safe moments. It also has just a bit more flexibility than assail when dealing with armored units or guaranteeing kills against enemies behind cover or that are retreating/otherwise obstructing LoS
The node under it for peril blocking plus 5 weakspot for guarenteed crit make up for it
I feel like psykers just want to use their blitz as their primary weapon and that's just not what brain burst is for
Depending on your weapon
Blitz and melee can stack it, so free crit on any staff or gun
Always worth
Brain burst's biggest strengths are being the only blitz that can kill carapace enemies well and being able to kill snipers and gunners while in cover, its lovely
Not always
Not with surge specifically
That's 5% more chance to proc your other nodes that depends on crit, and 5% more chance to proc blessings like blazing spirit, so not just damage. Based off what you said, you should be already running Mettle and Perfect Timing in a crit build, not dump the only crit node in Psyker's skill tree for it imo lol
Surge needs crits, and it can hit weakspots now, and it has a crit damage modifier
Not counting the aura i guess
Do the math though, it doesn't always hit weakspots for one, and surge staves with Nexus have between 30-40% already
alright, I read what you said as "I'll fight with you" as in you meant you were taking me up on my offer to fight about it
Which means there's a 30-40% chance it would have been a crit anyways
lmao
Nice
nah i been using bb since the dawn of time
I thought this challenge would be hard but it's actually pretty easy
my fav build rn is purgatus with emp bb
I run DD on surge anyway, so I’m already getting it
DD is really good
If you do the math on what your total average damage is, those 4 points are better spent elsewhere
Warp siphon surge with creeping flames is where it's at imo
Biggest cool down, biggest passive damage boost, huge peril reduction for efficiency, faster quell
As I was stuck with warp charges, brain burst and shriek for a year, I’d rather not use warp charges
They are pretty great now
Meh they are the same
BB/Vent/Warp Siphon? Sign me up for some of that
But, like I said, do the math on true aim on a surge staff
It's not a big boost in total crits
As Surge is the worst staff right now, it’s probably not worth using
BB or smite, smite is good for a quick fuck off to make space or push a burster and not accidently crit and kill it before shoving back
Warp siphon gives a huge damage boost as well as cool down reduction, in addition to massive peril generation reduction, so you have the best possible staff uptime and fastest quelling
Vent, spam staff, and boom. Charges can be right back to 6. That and the perfect timing ability with the 5% vs elites gets the surge up to a total of +44% into everything right there, then there's the warp rider on top of that
Tap quell at 100% and you can be cycling surge without losing warp flurry procs from around 20+30% peril
Warp siphon and the skills on the way cut quell time in half, which is more DPS, in addition to getting up to 45% cool down reduction, which means more venting, which means more damage and more free peril quell
It just works
Do that on all staves
Also Surge is worst staff, you could use a voidstrike the same way and kill everything faster
No it’s not bad, everything else is better
Surge bad, deflector bad.
This channel is incredible
worse =/= bad
It’s the worst staff, I never said it’s bad
Deflector is amazing
The surge creeping flames warp siphon build is wildly powerful
What's even going on with surge right now? Is it still bugged in one way or another?
Void, trauma or Purga do it better
Void 2taps crushers and cleaves 8 enemies
Sure, it can do that
Surge can blah blah whatever too
Id say if Voidstrike and Trauma are S tier, Purgatus and Surge sit in a weird spot in between A and B tier, with people arguing which is better
I feel like you need to be really proactive with void. Surge can be really responsive because of the flexible aiming and stun
Void doesn't lend itself as well to the vent build, which is in itself incredibly good
Like the straight line of damage really limits the ways void can deal damage
tbf you need line of sight to do the most dmg with surge
Void can drop crushers fast, but surge is really good at deleting specialists like trappers, flamers etc, it's really nice in that regard.
It has a habit of wrapping around edges and cover
Or do you mean, with surge blessing on the void?
yeah but the chains (unfortunately) dont do meaningful enough dmg methinks
Yeah but line of sight is a lot more flexible than multiple enemies being in a perfect line
The main surge attack when ramped up is pretty gnarly. The secondary is whatever. Free damage and cc
It does like minimal damage, pretty sure it was 25% of main damage
I do think surge is a bit outclassed by voidstrike role-wise, the only thing realistically surge has over void is cc
I'll take my surge into he grinder real quick and get charge and crit procs one sec
It’s like 1k damage at most
It’s 3 or 4 shot on a crusher
Void is better at crushers
They're guaranteed stunned after the first hit though, and you can get it off fast. That reliability is important, imo
My surge crits up to 1600 on a flak rager
thats another big thing surge has over void, much much faster
1300 on a crusher
I can one shot all the specialists barring the mutant
Without stacking the buffs or a crit, it's a two tap for specialists
That part right there is a bad thing, 1 tapping most specialists is the most important part for ranged weapons
Yeah, but I can one tap them extremely fast, and it stuns them if I dont
The first hit stuns though, so I'm not sure that applies
Unless your void has perfect accuracy, it's hard to say void is going to deal with specialists better
And if they are stun immune? If they are stunned by somthing else just before you hit them, then they don’t get stunned by you
With surge, it's so easy to get a dog mid air, or an unseen trapper
do dogs not get knocked off by flames anymore? i swear a dog will pounce me and be getting hit by soulblaze for 10 minutes and he doesnt get off
There's some benefits to the weapon that aren't strictly DPS, but the DPS is great if you stack the buffs
Only hits
if the bomber is stunned before you hit them, you're going to be able to kill it before it throws a grenade
What do you mean by stun immune, exactly? Like a plague ogryn? Or how enemies resist stuns if they're still recovering from one
To pump the damage I grab "perfect timing", 6 warp charges, the damage and peril reduction, "kinetic presence" and warp rider. As well +25% flaniac
It ends up being surprisingly good into just about everything
Crushers take longer, crushers are a small portion of the enemies you see in a mission
three 3 stamina curios
If things get stunned, they get temp immunity to other stuns for a second or 2, it’s how poxbursters ignore knock backs
Yeah, so that's not going to last long enough to stop you from either re-stunning them or just killing them before they do anything dangerous anyway
i still find the craziest interaction being kinetic deflector let you parry with peril
It seems like a short amount of time, I feel like stuff gets chain stunned a lot
Yeah, charge on the surge is super snappy, especially with flurry procced, which is just about always maxed
does surge still benefit from smite talents?
It’s amazing, especially if you run a defensive Illisi with Deflector and Block efficiency, can block bullets and tank a Crusher slam
You can ramp up, quell and keep going with surge and not drop the flurry procs
No
how do you parry with illisi
fuc
I believe crusher overhead is unlockable even with deflector
Actual heresy
I think only the Dclaw can actually block that, and that is with parry
I'll test it rn
I’ve lived with a sliver of life from a crusher slam that i blocked
on a different note im glad people argue about what staffs are better than others this much because in reality theyre all really good
Yeah you cannot block the crusher overhead with deflector
👍
I've always liked that about psyker
Well, With 8 stam and KD and 60% block efficiency it goes through
With 200 health you still get downed, so I dunno how you survived but uh, I wouldn't rely on that in game
Is it just me or is nobody running Voidstrike lately?
Haven't seen one in pubs in a while
Voidstrike low-key ass without surge.
And even with 100k plasteel and max gold there's no guarentee you'll get surge blessing.
It doesn't require aim and deals damage so
Surge is fast, fun, kills shooter mobs really easily(which are always a pain) and doesn't require aim.
trauma my beloved
surge must be easy to play on a controller
then becomes god tier with it
I see about as many people use smite as a primary weapon as I see people run surge
like assail and plasma
kinda wish it was better without

My estimate is that they wouldn't be helping the team much anyways, so might as well stun shit 
I mean they could just run surgez, do exactly the same thing but also some damage
800k damage and 25k melee
Uncanny strike could have gotten you an extra 3,k damage tho
If only you had that!!!!
Surge also pairs perfectly with flaming smite.
I did on my dueling sword, I just didn't pull it out enough :(
Yeah, it's peanut butter and jelly
Which is why I have a sword that runs stam and block efficiency
There's like, no need to kit for elites if you have a tool that kills them better than the sword
Illy is probably better for surge than dueling sword.
They're all good, I put my deimos down and tried illisi and it was nice for hordes when they get on you
And if you pop 5% crit and manaic on Illy, it shreds mutants easy enough.
Quick charged lights or a H1L1 sweep was really solid
I like Illisi
Illy should have been 2 handed with a bigger cleave
The dueling sword was mostly there for monstrosity duty
Except the hammerbro killed the only monstrosity so it didn't get much use
I do enjoy the deimos tho, good dodges, really good uncharged attacks chains. Shreds chaff with light spam and slaughterer no problem
I wish every single deimos attack was a stab
it's pattern annoys me so I never use it.
Surge does OK into monstrosities, tho really you should be clearing the wave around the boss
Every attack can be
Just block cancel
waves? what are those?
what youre describing is dueling 4 heavies
Waves of enemies
Yes, which is why I like it lmao
nuh uh. myth.
If you have a boss fight there is always hordes and specialists
You are great at removing those threats, enabling the team to drop the boss safely
Surge is kind great at dealing with the slug though, cause where you hit doesn't matter.
Surge itself does some decent damage too, and from a safe distance. I solo'd a beast of nurgle with it today
I've found myself 1 or 2 on boss damage recently.
Surge has no ammo, and is easy to spam and aim, it's not just about pure DPS on bosses.
Yeah, I end up middling on boss damage just laying on surge spam while looking around for specialists running in
I wish the surge weakspot thingy could hit the slug weakspot though.
Unless there's someone kitted specifically for bosses, I get just as much as everyone else focusing the boss, and while I clean up the agro from spawns
I wonder how the slug is coded cause that weakspot is definitely different from every other enemy in the game.
You get surprisingly nice empathic evasion uptime spamming the surge staff with minimum charge too, which isn't really minimum with warp flurry
It's not Purgatus "I am immune to arbitrary gunfire" but it's neat
It's ok, seems to be up around a third of the time
I was considering grabbing it, but the opportunity cost is real
Just playing around with this block efficiency deimos in the grinder, it makes dealing with ragers packs a dream
Just push them around, H2 stab
Block push into h2 is so damn good
Block push is so good, even better since they buffed the range
I didn't even know it got buff so far
I was just practicing with a block efficiency stam deimos
The range is like 8 meters it feels like on the force sword
Deimos goes into the H2, which is like the best single target attack next to the duely
You can push back and knock down ragers from well of of their range
I might give Deimos another try, I usually bring DS4 or Illisi
So spawn in 6 rangers and dodge back and start knocking them down
I'm practicing against packs of 6 rn
Without kinetic deflection
constant kd like you had a trauma?
Constant KD?
Do you spam the force push to mostly have them in a constant knocked down state?
Just practicing with the sword, I am running stam and block efficiency to free up points for damage instead of taking Kinetic deflectoon
Force push them down, once you can get a strike safely get the H2, it knocks them down
Then you can line up more h2s or block push into an H2 again
not elite, maniac
Yes you can weave in pushes with H2 and maybe some specials if you are feeling funky
@severe folio Ive come to the conclusion that... ||I can not tell a difference with everything dying so quickly with or without fire. It looks good with the cotton candy flame on them||
Block push goes directly into H2
Yea
It's pretty slick, I was just playing around against crusher packs, absolutely man handled them
Weapons with combos are always fun
flipped a whole brick into an empire
After seeing how the deimos handles elites, I'm gonna stick with this, it's wild
the pinned guide for surge staff says to ignore crit bonus as a stat, but everywhere else im seeing that crit is essential for it, help me understand
Ignore crit bonus as a perk is correct
As a stat, crit bonus is very good
It gets crit chance to 20%, combined with Nexus you can get a 40% critrate
Surge with flak and maniac, flurry and Nexus with high
Damage,crit,quell,resist is ideal
cool thanks
the guide says that because crit damage only applies to the the amount of damage by which the crit increased the initial hit's damage by
and not the entire critical hit
do i ignore crit damage, or crit chance as a perk
so crit damage is fairly weak as a stat itself, but crit chance is really good
The stat "crit bonus" increase crit chance and the bonus damage
It is a very important stat
5% crit chance is a wasted perk though. You want flak and maniac
is that too low of damage to keep?
You are 5% total damage short of a literal god roll
No
You want to kill specialists, hence the need for maniac
extended weapon custization plugin is something else
praise the omnisiah I got warp flurry t4 on first blessing
Amazing
that must have a godroll
You just need Nexus 4 and it's perfect
And flack/maniac for perks
Unarmored is OK if you get stuck with it, as a lot of enemies have unarmored heads
And a lot of chaff that you will fire it at is unarmored, but personally I value maniac for dropping specialists
The perk damage modifier will also augment the soul fire damage, which is helpful for specialists on fire and ragers
65% might not be enough to kill shotgunners
Not like you can kill shotgunners anyway without flak/unarmored 
I think if a high enough roll and maniac 25 you might be able to oneshot flamers without crit
With perfect timing and warpcharges
what legs are those btw?
i have a clip
hold on, what exactly do you mean ?
not my character, but its a premium
I mean that things die so quickly that the only things that die from fire are the one or two elites that it didnt really matter
Never really had a huge impact on whether we made it through a mission or not
its just there. Letting me know they burned alive
That just means you are playing too close to your team
I get a lot of kills and spelites damage with soulblaze
Or your team is too good
Like a lot
Purg doesn't do super well if your team is actually competent
But team usually isn't competent
voidstrike*
Voidstrike has travel time and charge time too yea
You charge and the revolver/plasma has already deleted the entire patrol
Void doesn't take that long
You can maybe get 1 or 2 balls in to get a certificate of participation
There's always lots to kill on aurics
Yeah it doesnt. And if the plasma or revolver didnt delete the specials then it has good horde clearing so
its whatever
That's why when you play purg you gotta dive solo
Go alt paths to get plasteel
Dive gunner patrols
I try to ask them to.
They never listen
Be a madman, because purg gives you so much survivability
Purge you can be aggressive with as you can just primary fire and stagger stuff
I always played that staff pretty agro
You can fight 10 maulers and be perfectly fine
I like splosions
Surge is sweaty
Trauma lmao, lol even
trauma is called trauma because it gives the heretics ptsd
I don't know why you are having no kills with purge tho
an endless hel of getting knocked over
I want a trauma staff. But if it needs a specific setup to be good, then im not interested
Like, I'm not going to steel man it as I don't like it a ton. But I found it killed the hell out of everything sans crushers
it does need a specific setup if you want the better version (fire trauma) but it's SO good
You need perilous and wildfire to really get it going and warp charge + mettle to get the damage up
just had the worst psyker i've ever seen on auric diff
did they have five wounds
they were a 30 +14, and they popped over 6 times
Maybe not wildfire with the purge staff, I dunno if that's necessary but for sure perolous
Did they just use smite as a primary weapon the whole time?
no they had assail and surge staff
they were probably just copying a youtuber's meta
There are far worse psykers out there then
trauma is epic (like the games launcher) because it knocks heretics off their feet
That's not even a good build tho
i had a roughly 90 toughness/150 hp psyker with 5 wounds in auric once
Assail is ass with surge
worst psyker ive ever seen
they were using assail as a primary basically
not five wounds
wounds more like not epic
3 wounds sure
not 5
it was to a point where we were in the final boss (assasination mission), and they were just shooting assail while both of the other team members were down (they were good)
If you can't hold your own, you're gonna drop in melee anyways
i was using smite to create breathing room
must activate perils raaaagh!
does uncanny strike iv and iii make all that difference
and they just spammed assail
assail spammers when the game needs them to clutch
killing crushers in two hits is funny
i hate assail users for the life of me
but between 3 and 4 there is barely any difference
They are fine when hey swap between staff and assail
that's fine, but for every decent assail user, you have 100+ who don't know assail was nerfed
assail more like ass fail aye yo gottem
Just using assail as it regen is bot worthy
______ users but in reality it's the users thats the problem 
the problem is that assail is being used
I don't like assail myself but I have seen people do well with it
Before the nerf mainly
and i can just smite a horde and rush forwards with my sword to cleave through the staggered horde
Assail still does stupid amounts of damage
I don't think it's good on a surge buuld
it's great at refilling toughness
You lock yourself out of shriek, which is what makes surge builds do so well
But you need true aim
You don't though?
true, but i love me crits
Or you mean the crit aura
Or is it wildfire you are locked out of
my current surge build uses ass fail and shriek hehe
it's wildfire
wildfire it is
You can still path to shriek
but yeah wildfire
Wildfire with shriek and perolous is really good
You don't need CDR with warp charges
But assail is kind of weak without true aim and empowered psionics
Which don't benefit surge nearly as much as paying left
I just take DD surge/assail
disrupt destiny 
I mean, there's a lot of reasons why not
Like?
Vent and charges make you deal way more damage
Not having warpsiphon? Yea I guess but you don't have so many talent points
And kill everything assail would kill, but instead of costing peril, it reduces peril
I take full siphon, mettle, wild fire, shriek
But that means you don't have assail
And the 5% elite damage arua
That's the opportunity cost
BB NAMBA WAN
There is nothing assail is good at killing that venting and surging doesn't already slaughter
hehe vent
sus amogus sus!!!!

True but you can have venting and assail too
omg so true!
Assail is great with like, a void strike that has problems dealing with a horde right in top of you
📮
which is the better revolver?
Or when running a gun
having to path through mind in motion 🥲
lol
Right
Left by a mile
The real loss
But tbh both are good
Assail costs peril to kill stuff you could already kill
left has hand cannon 4 and a higher pen stat but right has decent perks
It doesn't synergize with surge. Void strike or a gun, yeah sure
Infested damage is kinda useless on revolver tho
i have both haha
yeah, the purgatus's own flame is very fast and it crit a lot, the flame tick sole damagebecome more prevalent on bigger units like monstrosity, or when you are burning them down, because even when you are burning them down their health goes down faster the more stack of flame you have on them
I’d take both and strip the blessing off the left
you could probably scoop the hand cannon4 off of left and put it and surgical on the right one
so reroll both perks?
Uh no
ah ok
ah ok so replace both blessings
Yes
yea
eat left for HC4
put surgical 4 and HC4 on right
Flakiac is traditional revolver perks
Uncanny + soulblaze vs bosses is so stupid strong
ty
I always get 1st or 2nd boss dps
better than all 3 of my revolvers smadge
my friend has a godlike 550 revolver and it pisses me off
might replace fast reload then for now with hand cannon
my zealot keeps getting cute stuff. one day i’ll get a cuter revolver for my cute little wizard
speedload is so bad now that it doesnt work on your melee kills
revolver most fun gun imo
cute
the old version was actually usable
Crushers
huge damage boost against armor
with enough bonuses and revolver you can 2-shot critheadshot a crusher
and for damage falloff
crit and headshot basically guaranteed if you have time to line up a surgical shot
because damage falloff with range uses armour damage modifiers for some reason
lmao
yes
Empowered psyonics make it usable
its the same as it always was, with a little extra damage
its still far to slow
vets don’t have brain power or melee weapons.
fuck faster, i want big bazinga charge that i kamehameha for 10 seconds to one-shot a daemonhost
sibling, half of psyker player base is stuck with assail and lacks melee as well
not this hoolipsyker. this hoolipsyker got the stub as his staff and the melee as his melee
always out here ready to go for some trust 30 gyatts

finally rolled a gd blaze trauma staff
not the best, level 3 warp nexus but it'll do
actually, I don't think they changed it a lot
They fucked up with Surge and that's mostly it
it's still the hipster choice, haven't even had the chance to try it out because crafting system
My body is a machine built to knock crushers on their feet
Trauma is like the best anti-melee elite solution rn
Especially given that game started to spawn hordes of ragers with last patch
The damage buff is significant though, as it moves several special classes into being killed with one BB charge.
Isn't it every special minus mutant?
it already 1 taps the important specials, except mutie
I recall that it used to need two for flamers and hounds.
I finally had that match where it did matter. always with the torrent start for that one assassination mission where it starts in the sewers
||We didnt make it||
it got a sweet +50% bump to its maniac adm to dunk on flamers
and hounds had their hp nerfed down to 1.4k
maybe more useful if you make sure to QQ to skip some of the animation
otherwise, the speed bonus from EP is minor if resonance is active, so the damage buff (which has diminishing returns because of how +damage% is factored into Brain Rupture) is the main thing
Well, whatever the reasons, it will now stop most specials in one, which is a big help.
ep make bb 2 tap ogryn mauler rager, 1 tap all gunners and specials
huge from having to 3 tap and 2 tap some of those
- no peril generation and faster cast time so you can go back to doing other stuff
most of the time the result should be like this
the soulblaze burn when you are quelling
Left, change roulete to surgical and stamina to whatever you want. If you prefer roulette over surgical, change both perks.
ah too late i pulled hand cannon and put on right
Hand cannon + crit blessing is the "meta". Those two perks aren't bad, so that works too.
Change the right to have handcannon and surgical. Maniac and flak are good perks.
ah thast a relief i thought i had made a mistake then
is this worth the 1800 melk bucks? I have 9k + can still do other 3 characters
I wouldn't buy it.
I wonder should I keep Empathic Evasion with my assail columnus scriers build or drop it? hmm. it does get some use sometimes so probably not...
sounds good. thanks 
Do you have true aim? If you do you crit a lot with assail so it's very nice against range elites pack.
I personally run it with all my assail builds.
Yeah I run destiny with that build too
so i got true aim
the talent build for the mk4 sword columnus build i have
i kind of want one of the +15 toughness or scrier endurance but i don't know... and i also wonder about getting reality anchor
Too many points up top imo.
Drop that one that gives toughness on peril gain.
And change the toughness on quell to soulstealer.
You will regain toughness much faster when using assail.
Is this good for the smite/voidstrike build?
So drop the quell toughness and peril gain toughness. Or if you really want meditation then 1 of the 2.
Peril gain toughness is our worst toughness gain talent.
Yeah I agree, i forgot i had a point in that to be honest
i'm glad you pointed it out lol
I would also drop quell toughness for combustion.
I never see the builds and see the horde wipes
mostly just console noobs and knife zoomers
the build is every purgatus build
If they clump up like that 1 trauma blast and instant death on all of them. 
at least with purgatus you don't have to worry about spreading the horde 
How do you gain stacks of warp flurry? It doesn’t tell you how, just says that it stacks 3 times
Charge up a staff with right click.
It'll make subsequent right click faster up to 3 stacks.
drop the dodge duration talent, it doesnt work as it says, all you get is 1 extra dodge, which is meh and not worth the point
Yeah I just did after i discord searched it u.u
starting to get paranoid about talents and blessings lol
😄 yeh its abig problem for FS and tooltips
they are wizard
space wizard you degen
something something "what if the freak is a danger to us"
Or is there a faster way
can you actually do warp l1->normal h2
No i have to light then h2
i always just do l1->h2 to knock down the enemy in question so i can safely kill them
Im pretty sure
Watched old clips of deimos builds
Idk if current auric can let u channel that long
test in meat grinder ig
if anything doing l1->h2 headshot->warp heavy might be best since they're already on the ground
Do u run uncanny slaughterer still
or just another l1->h2 idk lol
Or is it uncanny + whatever u want really
I dont have a deimos w uncanny and slaughterer :( just uncanny unstable
unstable is kinda nice though since i tend to pull out the sword while at high peril
mkiv?
Oh
people usually go uncanny and shred or uncanny and rampage
idk, just check pinned guide ig lol 🫡
it shares blessings with deimos and obscurus tho
so probably similar?
Apparently its the same uncanny slaughterer or deflector
Also cool smite can headshot
So guaranteed critting
headshot isnt guarenteed crit, its a weakspot hit, you can crit on top of that
damnation ready
so that psyker wants to be dead weight then
Deimos is good, that low of a voidstrike will not be.
Charge rate needs to be high on staffs.
undergeared damnation enjoyer
voidstrike scaling isn't that much
it's 1.9s to 1.6s for the vstrike
and it's just damnation
my friend and i played damnation earlier with lvls 25 and 26 lmfao
not even hi or hishock
but we were dual ogryn with slab shield so it's kinda different
and missions on the normal board don't have the 50% tension modifier that auric missions have
If it is just Damnation
It's fine
Like... just take Smite and you will be useful in a way
so what kind of talent trees do void staves want?
depends on what blitz, aura, ability, and keystone you want, check the pins for the guide for basic builds
You want Perfect Timing, True Aim, Warp Rider, and that's about it
level 19 w worse gear . did fine :)

what's tension modifier
basically shorter intervals between spawn waves, as far as I understand
oh
definitely feels like it
i just thought that was part of the high intensity thing though lol
patch 12 and before, missions with the same modifiers on either the normal or auric board were the same, but they apparently added a 50% tension modifier to missions on the auric board with patch 13
histg is so fun
beep beep this is tertium amazon
we are delivering more large men to your front doorstep
men😳
U promise?
i want to be surrounded by crushers🥴
they will have big cannons and heavy hammers and run very quickly and manhandle you very strongly
sometimes there are large men on your team and they perform very well in brawling with the other large men
Imagine getting five consecutive overheads
that's when it's a very good thing that your large men are girthier and burlier than theirs
it happens everyday in this dream😢
so glad it’s not real
one of my friend asks me why i talk like this when referring to large enemies
i dont know
Maybe you'll be granted your wish this christmas!
keep going. it will scare the spies looking into psyker chat.
i also have terms for a large gathering of enemies such as "a multitude of men are attacking us" or "a bunch of bros" or "a gaggle of guys"
a plethora of hooligans, even
of course
bros were just hanging out outside the gym when you lot came and ruined it
a small group of friends (the largest swarm you've ever seen in your life)
my favorite collar for my favorite cosplay
you may only thirst for big E, not heretics
if i was lifting with my bros and pumping iron and some tiny screeching freaks ran at me with shivs i would also overhead them with my training gear
A commissar can take me out back anytime he wants. I can take back shots like no other, promise
disregard the fact that i am neither a bro nor do i pump iron
the only thing i pump is more bullets into my stub revolver
that's called IMAGINATION 
ranged backstabs against a bulwark
call that getting backshots on large men
ez game
nothing else good on purg iirc
how you can see score board?
mods
it's a mod
cool
one of my friends is a bro that says i should pump iron though
ong i should probably do it
Accatran MG Mk II Heavy Laspistol can this pistol deal with unyielding?
Perks for chainsword?
With Infernus? Probably. Take a look at its damage values on Crit/WS hits on Unyielding armour type, though
and raking fire, shoot them from behind
how does VS stagger bosses?
on weakspots crits it does a brief stagger
from pinned guide
ty!
although zealot chat has a pin that recommends rampage/savage sweep and flak/maniac for chainsword
up to you ig
depends what you want out of it
since the psyker recc is using it as a mobility tool alongside it being a melee weapon
Using it for hoarde clear
zealot recc might be better then
i dunno, i only use deimos/illisi, ds4, and knife on psyker lol
The reason why I want to use it, when I first started playing back in the beta 490 was the highest power points
also chain saws are fucking cool
does recon lasgun perks like dumdum transfer to my revolver
pondering the limited store cos i need t4 dumdum
the highest now is 550
no, blessings stay within the weapon family
yeah rampage and savage sweep is best for horde clearing
does it transfer to my laspistol?
so like, headhunter autoguns share with each other but not with infantry autoguns
are the las a family
recon las share with each other but not with any other las
thx
What kind of absolute fuckn moron you should be to use medkit literally at the place of full medicae
revolver only shares w itself since theres only one revolver
the different staff types dont share either
be cool if they did but nah
does charging smite do anything btw
left click is fast at least
Does the QQ cancel still work on surge staff btw
are the smite extra perks good
+1 jump is needed
stagger dmg + the split
other one is decent
ok
yea but not good enough to forego other better talents
Still does
For purg, the way you deal with mixed horde is to purg till soulblaze stack is 6 then shriek to add 6 more soulblaze stacks right?
But it's not as needed because they shortened the surge duration
Depends on what you value, stagger or damage
If you can reach 15 stacks then shout, you will reach 21 stacks
But not if you do in reverse
aite that makes sense to me
sometimes the enemies are right in your face and you have no choice but to shout
Yea if you have your build setup correctly you will have so much cdr that it wouldn't really matter when you shout
i stole my build from purg apprentice, it should be aite
Yea should be fine
#psyker-class message literally this one XD, same perks and blessings on the staff as well
Sometimes vs shotgunners I just preshout to stagger and precook them, then a stream of fire later they die
Oh he took assail
lolll "precooking" them, ima start calling my shout that now
yeah its actually pretty good
i tried BB before going back to assail
assail is mainly for snipers, gunners, basically all the normal shooty guys that the purg staff can't reach
Assail you are forced to take mind in motion
To me I don't need assail so I rather get the cdr
After you kill a pack of elites you just get shout again
That's why I say it doesn't really matter when you shout 
I've tried BR build in a few missions and it doesn't have the same versatility as Assail
Waiting 8 seconds is still aite for me
thanks to warp siphon
Definitely it doesn't have the damage assail has, but I don't like assail mainly because it makes me not want to use purg as much
I def see the value in taking BR and CDR talent though, its real good in messy horde situations
i only pull assail out when there's ranged enemies. I didn't take any upgrades on assail so its hard to only use it
- 3 second cooldown now 😦
Oh yea the build doesn't really have any points to spend on blitz
yeppp
Tbh I run brainburst to fill squad gaps
Im curious @potent echo how do you deal with ranged units without assail?
Auric being as rough with specials as it is sometimes assail right click doesnt cut it if I need to kill some distant elite and my vet is tied down
Movement
I have skill issue then XD
Still, it can only get you so far
No one really has a guide to darktide movement, even though it's like the most important part 
Purg has 15m range, that's plenty for most maps
If it's still too far you run to the flanking routes
Then flank with the purg
Carnival:
when that
dodge slide with extra tertium rizz
hits
Carnival is actually really good for purg
Ya know what ima try purg with your BR build
There's enough cover for you to flank major positions
gona jump into a mission n see how id do
Mainly you have to get comfortable playing alone
Because flanking you might encounter elite clumps, or specials will chase you
Thankfully purge lets you solo almost anything
Totally out of topic but ive heard that Trauma is basically a better version of Purg T_T
aint a pysker main, is that true?
trauma is just a leg remover.
purg is cooler
Trauma doesn't actually kill faster
purg shoots fire from your hands like the epic cutie a psyker is
It's range is shorter, and it doesn't suppress as well as purg
Purg I'm a lot more confident running alone
Trauma is more for sticking with the team
surge is purge like a man
Because trauma flanking doesn't work that well and you definitely have gaps in-between traumas
surge is also cute, but it’s not a flamethrower
its a lightning flamethrower
On carnival hishock/gauntlet in a pub, I can get 1 million damage pretty consistently
With purga
That's what I did to get the 1 million kill penance finally
i like how the surge and purge builds are indentical
you play purg for the damage
i play purg to farm “oh wow jeez john psyker you are killing so much bottom emoji” voice lines
I need to steal your scoreboard format
Ovenproof is good but it doesn't cover somethings like weapon loadout etc
Where is general chat?
It's still there
Hm
appreciate ya
The build is slightly different now, since these screens were taken. I have kinetic deflection
I don't remember what I got rid of, to get it
I'm boutta leave for work so I can't check
Np, thanks for taking the time to post
Yw homie
my fucking god what is happening 2 this games community i just wanted a casual quickplay and i was forced 2 basically solo
only thing i dont get is not taking psykinetic aura instead of wildfire
Slightly wild 
wildfire is trash
don't take it
yes thats basically what im saying
Ah, i read it wrong

It does have an effect but also CDR is kinda really good but also not really 
someone remind me what that single node does after the warp dmg increase on crit
Toughness?
what's the trauma dump stat
the fuck
Quell speed, peril resist, damage*
isnt the dump basically the same on every staff, warp resist, quell speed yadda yadda
Yeah
I already have a short cooldwon on ult
ALso damage on purgatus
It depends on your playstyle and how the situation is
With warp siphon
? so make it even shorter also inst that talent team wide?
no, it does ont
Since purg and blaze has a delayed kill effect, you might alr have the CD back by the time the cdr effect kicks in
I'm just playing devil's advocate I will never take wildfire over cdr
"for you and your allies"
like
ik the randoms we get arent human but the value is still there
Pretty sure it works
i also like
Cdr for allies
Nah you really don't need it
idk i get so much value out of it when the game likes 2 spawn 30 gunners across a large distance
I just charge and burn them
shriek the horde and it dies from burn while i BB
BB is great for chain killing bunch of elites
You just cross that distance and burn
need EP though
Ye
It takes liek 20 seconds to die from burn
BB is quite reliant on EP

But taking EP means no WC
Who cares
Shriek also staggers, so you can preshriek then close in if you are having issue
preshrek
Like that corridor in manufactorium
I'm building Voidstrike(Surge) + Smite + True Aim but I can't decide the key stone between Warp Siphon and Empower 🤔
go DD
Disrupt Destiny
interesting, i will give it a try
Smite is also granting True Aim stacks due to a bug currently
You can farm Crit Voidstrike shots
its not a bug
its a feature that smite can target limbs/weakspots
the 30 stack option feels a bit like a trap VS the 30 second duration option
Oh yeah I forgot.
It’s a feature, mb.
(Don’t tell FatShark)
30 sec or 30 stacks thou
30 seconds imo
understandable 😂
Since all stacks fall off at once, being able to keep them up is important
30 seconds gets you a lot more uptime because the stacks fall off all at once rather than 1 by one
gfdi one brain cell
depends if you can get 30 stacks often, otherwise 15 for 30s is fine too
its up to you if you can get max stacks, the buff is amazing when you are a voidstrike weapon
15 damage, 30 crit damage, and 37.5 weakspot damage with 15
30 damage, 60 crit damage. 55 weakspot damage with 30
yeah, if you find yourself being able to maintain the 30 stacks it's bloody amazing
30 seconds is great for keeping stacks during moments of downtime though
And I appreciate that
its almost impossible to maintain 30 all the time, but during some rooms you can reach 30 pretty easy if you weakspot kill the marked target often
I find that bar the director having a fit, it's hard to keep the stacks maxed out
got used to the highlighting bug before it got fixed, so the way I played DD was to ignore it
and suddenly my Dueling Sword was lopping off heads on light attacks
luckily psyker can swap keystone so easy 😂

And it's so good with melee. Just cleave for the highlighted target and you keep getting these speed burst that make you so hard to hit.
sends virtual pats
Guys what would you put in that spot?
Flak
flak or maniacs
Rare case of 3 siblings and big guy. I miss such teams... they are valued treasure 🙂
Who is the artist ? 😍
Artist: Cristian García
(Madbabylon)
Easily found by googling source of picture 🙂
4 siblings run can be extremely painful.
So the damage increase blessings. Is vs flak armor the only common thing to put? I also see maniac but other than mutants and ragers, im not sure why else would use maniacs?
manics is used generarly agains ragers, specials you might say they are bonus
but yes flack and manicas are the most common perks to put
we’re all united under my beloved
Any advice what would be the best perk to replace the infested enemies damage bonus with?
Here’s possibly a better idea: replace the CDMG perk, because it’s arguably worse than Infested
Is beloved Big E or some fantasy lover?
Beloved is me. Soucre: I am top 1%.
Beloved is indeed supposed to be the Being sElfish in war
lol

But Big E eats psykers
That one every 90 seconds or so
lol
Cats
Dogs very anti psyker
Psykers are loners
So psykers should have cats
Dogs are for dumb social people
I prefer cats
They go great with Jasmine rice and a good gravy
This mine. Named Freddy
I wonder if get a summoner kind of psyker in analogy with Sienna - Necromancer in VT2....
how you even imagine that
What psyker could even summon lmao
