psyker-class

[olive ember]

If you have two specials next to each other and kill both of em relatively quickly that’s everything around them dead

[glossy ember]

so

[short lodge]

PC saves you from the absolute worst situations where you have to melee a bunch of fat armoured specials

[olive ember]

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1yMHLPVTGKuVoq/d1337Qb7VBFa?invite=cr-MSxQODYsMTU3ODYzOTYwLA

[glossy ember]

either way it's always a damage increase

[olive ember]

Clip from crab, This was back when it was 4 stacks iirc

[radiant sleet]

I prefer flak/carapace on void

Surge and nexus yes

That's coming from an assail user though, maulers/crushers are my enemy so I need the extra damage vs them

[olive ember]

But basically pc is pretty much a must pick

[strange nova]

Man... i need to get better at psyker

[olive ember]

Cuz it’s free damage whenever you kill a elite/special

[ocean cipher]

oh wow just had what might be my worst experience so far

[olive ember]

And in the current state of the game where specialist and elite spam is difficulty that steams a lot

[ocean cipher]

had a chaos spawn throw me into a daemonhost, survived, and had a poxburster prematurely explode and kill me

[olive ember]

Oof

[strange nova]

I can Damn run on anything that isnt my psyker, because i'm bad XD

Any advice my fellow siblings can give me?

Should i be looking into certain newb-psyker friendly builds/playstyles?

[radiant sleet]

What kind of setup are you currently running on Psyker?

[plucky flax]

What surge bug does to a mf.

Solo w/ bots using bugged surge.

[olive ember]

No more million damage

Fucking trash

[olive ember]

You want meta or just wte people are running

[plucky flax]

[strange nova]

I was running purg staff with duelling sword

[olive ember]

Cuz I may or may not be running some cursed ass blazing spirit + rending shock Scriers gaze trauma rn for testing

[strange nova]

but honestly i think i just need to... like, find something that works, and stick with it

[radiant sleet]

I meant that message as a reply for Krugg, oops

[spice veldt]

purg + duelling sword sounds solid

what are you dying to

overwhelmed by specials I guess?

[strange nova]

what blitz should i be running?

I'm genuinely not sure

like since the new talents i've struggled with psyker

[glossy ember]

https://tenor.com/view/chiquichico-gif-26004262

[spice veldt]

i like my assail

brainburst makes me sad and I do not enjoy using smite

[strange nova]

My issue with Assail, is that i dont know where/when to use it, and what to use it on

[plucky flax]

66k monster damage. Surge bug is a blessing in disguise.

[olive ember]

Purge you should run BB generally

[radiant sleet]

I can't really help with Purg/duel sword advice. But for general advice, I would say try everything out using grey rolled items and see what feels good

[olive ember]

For anti armor and range

It also gives you access to wildfire

[spice veldt]

spam it if enemies are at a distance/spread out

assail staggers specials in addition to dinking their health, unless it's the mutant

[olive ember]

And conveniently lines you up with force shriek and warp charges

[radiant sleet]

Same feeling

[spice veldt]

so you could just spam it into specials to kill them or get a reliable stagger on them to move closer and melee them

assail still has 10 max shards, so you can be fairly lenient with just spamming it

[olive ember]

I wouldn’t rly recommend assail with purge tbh, no anti armor unless you start messing with uncanny n stuff which is def on the advanced side

Imo atleast

[spice veldt]

if you're moderately comfortable with melee and spam dodges against melee elites, it'll be fine

[radiant sleet]

Try assail with empowered psionics. But as other said, if you want purgatus staff maybe BB is the way

[strange nova]

I could use another staff

I have a decent surge, and a decent trauma

i have the silly shockwave trauma

im just not great at placing it

[olive ember]

@strange nova this is what I run for purge btw

#psyker-class message

[lethal lagoon]

Surge spam with flaming shriek is pretty straight forward. Focus on killing ranged mobs if you are running pubs.

[olive ember]

Just swap the aura for CDR over damage now

Run the same thing for flame trauma

[wheat quartz]

I use surge/smite/shriek and it works reliably

For auric damnation pubs

[olive ember]

Surge staff

In terms of ease of use surge and purge are the easiest

Not that any of the staves are particularly hard

[lethal lagoon]

I recently got Void with surge blessing, and it's great and all, but I'm still on ranged mob duty, so it's like.... operating at 30% potential.

Might as well surge unless my friends come back to the game

[wheat quartz]

I found that if I don't kill the ranged guys in pubs, I can't rely on them being dead, so I have to do it myself anyway

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve been trying out empowered smite and wow, so much more shit than warp charge

The UX is terrible with it

Push a burster with left click? Burn a charge

[lethal lagoon]

Sometimes I just let the stray ones go and watch my teammates get shot in the back and go down.

[olive ember]

Why would you use empowered smite kekw

[lethal lagoon]

Just to feel something.

[zinc phoenix]

Spend a charge starting and ending

[wheat quartz]

Lmao

[zinc phoenix]

Smite is good, I wanted to see if it was more gooder with empower

[wheat quartz]

Now if only I could stop switching between Dueling 4 and Illisi every game

[zinc phoenix]

Turns out it’s better to feed shriek warp charges

[strange nova]

I'll try see if someone has a surge build post 15

[zinc phoenix]

Yep it’s incredibly easy to play and super effective

[olive ember]

Well uh… you got your answer

[lethal lagoon]

It's the same, just add true aim if you want.

[zinc phoenix]

Never know if you don’t try things 🤷‍♀️

But as a warning to the herd: empower is straight ass

[strange nova]

anyone have a zappy build?

[strong gulch]

Between the masks and face tattoos, I haven't noticed the smugness. I am going to pay attention more. 👀

[olive ember]

Empower is good for anything that isn’t smite

Which is ironic considering it’s the keystone directly below it

[zinc phoenix]

Take any perk that gives you fire and then grab all the smite goodies, shriek and warp charges

You should also grab the usual suspects

[wheat quartz]

I actually dropped lightning storm and enfeeble

[zinc phoenix]

Right side warp charges

[strange nova]

I dont really like SMITE smite, i meant like... surgey surge

[lethal lagoon]

"Smite goodies" are terrible lmao

complete waste of points on an already sterteched tree, esp if you are getting true aim.

[zinc phoenix]

Meh, I think the left one is good but the right one is poo

[wheat quartz]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9abd783c-ed9f-491f-b714-745fa55cd5de
This is what I'm currently using

[short lodge]

the secret is to never actually smite

[lethal lagoon]

I never use left click

So pointless for me

[short lodge]

and just Surge everything to death while shrieking

[zinc phoenix]

Guess you don’t know about shoving bursters

[olive ember]

Smite augments are kinda mid since EP bug got fixed

[wheat quartz]

I might honestly trade the point in smite out for BB

[lethal lagoon]

Surge already shoves bursters lmao

[wheat quartz]

I barely use it

[short lodge]

you take the +1 chain for True Aim

[lethal lagoon]

It doesn't work for non left clicks.

[short lodge]

that's Enfeeble

[zinc phoenix]

Take the damage warp charge perk over the peril reduction imo

[wheat quartz]

I have plenty of toughness gen already

[lethal lagoon]

There's literally no difference on right click if you take the +1 jump or not 🤷‍♂️

[zinc phoenix]

BB is very solid but imo better with trauma than surge stick

Or void

Or a gun even

🤷‍♀️

[strange nova]

Im not quite understanding these builds

one of them is warp charges

[zinc phoenix]

IMO surge stick only good if you want to peril up for shriek

[strange nova]

another is EP

[cloud heron]

I honestly don't know how people play without BB when using anything but the void staff

[strange nova]

another is DD

[cloud heron]

and I guess guns

[strange nova]

:/

[lethal lagoon]

left click goes brr

[olive ember]

Surge ideally would run assail

To deal with gunner spam n shit from range

[cloud heron]

Yeah that's fair

[zinc phoenix]

I’m shrieking fire on things constantly and smiting them to make em fall over

[wheat quartz]

can't if you also want psykinetic aura

[olive ember]

Yeah that’s the rip

[zinc phoenix]

Problem is surge stick is ass still so you would have zero value from it if you’re not looking for fast peril gen

[wheat quartz]

eh it kills with reasonable proficiency

it's not ass

[tame venture]

thoughts on which is preferable? i'm pairing this with a purge staff

[zinc phoenix]

A S S

[wheat quartz]

it's not the best, but ass is

pre-hotfix when it had 50% limb damage

that's ass

[zinc phoenix]

It’d be nice if it was less ass

[quasi junco]

Not void. Just shoot the bastards

[zinc phoenix]

Gun is rlly good but sometimes maybe not gun?

[tame venture]

i'm thinking of going with the one on the right for now

[quasi junco]

I like smite with void

[lethal lagoon]

I really wanna see the gameplay of people who say surge is ass, it's ridiculous, you one shot ranged mobs with an insta charge. You can literally charge straight at shotgunner and gunner groups.

[quasi junco]

For when ragers want to kiss me

[olive ember]

Uh have you tried dueling sword

[wheat quartz]

like it helped me do this on a pub auric carnival so it's not too bad, you know

[strange nova]

what melee do you pair with surge?

[zinc phoenix]

The damage output is meh compared to a Columbus IAG or a void stick with surge blessing

[olive ember]

I think surge staff is p trash but

[quasi junco]

Go Deimos

[olive ember]

It’s useable

I guess

[tame venture]

i have a great one atm, just expanding options

[olive ember]

Horde clear, so illisi or claw

[strange nova]

Illisi it is!

[quasi junco]

Yep

[olive ember]

Technically the caxes work too

[zinc phoenix]

Why

[lethal lagoon]

DPS on a target dummy? 100% agree. DPS in an actual game?

[olive ember]

Caxes are horde clear as well

[quasi junco]

Caxes kinda better for zealot. Even with BM/head taker

[olive ember]

BM antax or BM rashad

Well it’s another option is what I’m saying

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah but psyker has better options that fit more

[olive ember]

But yeah illisi or claw are the go to options rn

For horde clear melee

[tame venture]

speaking of deimos, i just realized i got this purple off a mission drop. that's the optimal stat spread, no?

[zinc phoenix]

In any actual game the Columbus IAG is gonna blow out the surge stick

[strong gulch]

If you have other horde options that you are running with surge, like smite + creeping flames, you have more "freedom" in your melee options.

[zinc phoenix]

Void sucks in habs or other twisty corridor shit

[olive ember]

In any actual game you’ll have a zealot running 40 meters in front of you killing shit as they spawn

[zinc phoenix]

Not if I’m sg/dd, that bitch will be chasing me

Zoomker

[quasi junco]

lol where, most zealots in my games eat dirt

[olive ember]

Eh I tend not to thing about pug players tbh

The pug psyker blows themself up, the pug vet can’t melee

[spice veldt]

it's a gun so as long as you're moderately aggressive, it prob be in your sightline

[olive ember]

Pug ogryn only rp’s and plants his shield doing nothing

[strong gulch]

Damage and finesse then first target are your most important stats for deimos.

[tame venture]

how's it compare to the one i already have then?

[olive ember]

I’d play with you guys to show how skillful I am with my braindead zealot build but I never find the time to uh

[wheat quartz]

I wish surge staff had the surge blessing

[onyx sentinel]

did they just drop the bomb in the teaser that ||zola’s a big meanie??||

[olive ember]

The more I play zealot the dumber I become tbh

[quasi junco]

I hope so

[olive ember]

Like @spice veldt talks about bullet magnetism

[wheat quartz]

||g e n e s t e a l e r||

[strong gulch]

What you already have is better. You can change blessings and make it even better.

[olive ember]

He clearly has not seen me miss 4 shots in a row on a gunner with the revolver

[spice veldt]

🙂

[onyx sentinel]

I didn’t think they’d do it in the teaser of all things lmao

[proven stirrup]

Ayyy we're gettin our potions back lads

[spice veldt]

woooo

[quasi junco]

Give us ammo lockers too

[proven stirrup]

Excited to see what kinda effects the stimms have

[spice veldt]

hopefully there will be a good amount of them

[proven stirrup]

I also find it funny they were hinting at such a thing with the very character interactions

[spice veldt]

spread throughout a mission

finally, I shall rid myself of the "save everything until the last moment" habit

[proven stirrup]

Here's the thing, I dont think they're gonna be mission-based

[olive ember]

Actually

Isn’t the whole lore for this mission segment about how the stims are being used to spread the plague

[quasi junco]

FS told us what the stims do

[proven stirrup]

The teaser image says "equip". What's more, hallowette has gotten involved saying she's "Laid claim to anything fit for consumption".

[olive ember]

So why the fuck are we just popping em

[proven stirrup]

Because they're not all tainted

Stimms are a normal thing in this universe.

[idle aurora]

Steal the formula, clean it up from poopoo, bingo

[quasi junco]

Too get high. We are rejects tasked with killing chaos spawns

Speaking of chaos spawns. If you edge peril, you can stunlock one with critstrike build

Feels good man

[tame venture]

this is about as perfect of a perk/blessing roll as you can get, no?

i bought a melk item for the uncanny strike, but aside from that i didn't have to grind much for this

[bold maple]

not 370+ = sell for dockets

[tame venture]

saves time and recources for other more important shit

[tame venture]

those are a myth

also i don't play auric so idgaf

[olive ember]

Being a min max meta slave isn’t just about playing auric

A true gamer is a min max meta slave

EVEN IF HE ONLY PLAYS SEDITION

[static needle]

narrow minded take but ok

[bold maple]

stupid opinion but ok

only thing left for end game in this game is gear crafting and min maxing

[strong gulch]

Min max

[digital narwhal]

Fuckin' A

[spice veldt]

brings a tear to my eyes

[strong gulch]

😂

[digital narwhal]

Low Blast Radius meta

[quasi junco]

With dump stats a 350 can be great

[plucky flax]

[strong gulch]

It's so bad. It's incredible.

Can't even quell cancel to stay alive.

[spice veldt]

you just need some faith and hope and belief in your heart to use a staff like that

[strong gulch]

LMB spam has better horde clear. 😭

[zinc phoenix]

Ogryn is so brain dead rn

You literally regen infinite toughness it’s wild

Idk how that slipped thru

[hollow jolt]

Ogryn weak

need another buff

infinite ammo rippers when?

[silent socket]

Yo can someone send me a picture of what’s for sale in the Commodores this rotation

For Psyker specifically

I wanna see this rotations

Drip

[tame venture]

this seems like a decent roll, but i regret not having many blessings for Fords

[obtuse walrus]

A true gamer is someone who realises the absurdity of gaming. But enjoys it regardless

[tame venture]

i just got slaughterer 4, should i just replace superiority with it?

[lethal lagoon]

So you sell 369s?

[bold maple]

yes

[lethal lagoon]

Heresy

[rare storm]

Shee crackhead gameplay continues

[obtuse walrus]

I pity the one who do not let their weapons blossom into true potentials

What worth be a good grey role, when the perks themselves reject it

[plucky flax]

Wait why did I get pinged for this? What am I watching?

[rare storm]

His scrier surge ani cancelling bs

[potent echo]

Update????

[rare storm]

Oh damn we getting stims

Bout to be drugged up

[potent echo]

New weapon marks, better have forcestaff marks copium

[spice veldt]

i love drugs

[rare storm]

I think we’re getting a new force sword

Based off the trailer

[spice veldt]

i sure hope so

[potent echo]

Wait I haven't watched the video

[spice veldt]

woo new psyker melee before psyker force staff

[rare storm]

Hoping a 2 handed force longsword

Would go hard breh

[spice veldt]

new 2h anims :D

[rare storm]

Yeeebwoiii

[potent echo]

Which trailer

[rare storm]

In part 1

[potent echo]

Oh

[rare storm]

You can see the hooded weirdo with a new sword

[potent echo]

You mean the heretics?

Also fanning revolver mark, somehow we saw it coming

[vapid lichen]

hmm
this is in my melk shop

[potent echo]

That's pretty good

[static needle]

beat this hehehe

btw should i change deflector to executor?

[potent echo]

Executor is super janky

[vapid lichen]

i'd change both perks instead

[static needle]

huh

[vapid lichen]

deflector is pretty good at least

[static needle]

ya thats wat im doing

[static needle]

executor too right?

[vapid lichen]

not really

uncanny is different because it gives an absurd amount of rending

but executor isn't nearly as close in power level

[static needle]

what should I change the perks to? maniac and flak? or maybe carapace?

my main weapon will be voidstrike/surge

[potent echo]

#psyker-class message

[vapid lichen]

i usually see maniac and unyielding

[potent echo]

Uncanny unstable is fine enough

[vapid lichen]

since deimos is best at stabbing large men

[potent echo]

Yea maniac to get mutant 1 shot

You don't need flak because most elites die 1 shot anyway

Probably except ragers

[static needle]

yes but then carapace?

[potent echo]

Unyielding helps against bosses

Carapace not needed because they die fast enough either way

[vapid lichen]

stabbing large men

h2 also has the insane knockdown

[potent echo]

And they aren't really a priority target

But it's an alternative, maniac/carapace/unyielding

Maybe you can find your own combo vs crushers with +cara

[spice oar]

Guys I'ma be real we are probably not getting shit in terms of staffs

[spice veldt]

kill him

[spice oar]

I already set my expectations too high by expecting new weapons and not just marks.

I'm just trying not to disappoint myself

[rose gazelle]

the voice change with the new head piece for the weekly cosmetic goes so hard

it's going to be the only thing i wear for melee psyker

[frank moat]

Are there any clips of the voice modulator on any of the female Psykers?

[potent echo]

Ne - - - REDACTED: Expl - - - ola - - - disp - - - at - - - orr - - -

I believe this says new forcestaff on the way

[fluid knot]

[spice oar]

[acoustic path]

100%

[static needle]

Is obscurus ever worth running?

[potent echo]

If you are bored of Deimos yea

[harsh urchin]

Which one?

[rose gazelle]

this one

@harsh urchin

[lethal lagoon]

Should be an easter egg to randomly fire your staff shot from your head when using that.

[spice oar]

Fun fact, your staff projectiles already do fire from your head.same with your guns

[primal blade]

Yea it is really visible

Especially with psyker

[silent socket]

Man oh man am I so glad that item on Steam just sold so I can buy this-

[tame venture]

so i got this knife, and i love how zoomy it makes me, but i feel like i only half get the way to use it properly, any pointers?

[static needle]

what is the base crit chance of a voidstrike staff?

[lethal lagoon]

I always forget how different the game actually is until I use third person.

[vapid lichen]

you can spam push attack really easily thanks to how fast we start regerating stamina as psyker so you can use that to get out of sticky situations or stagger enemies that are attacking you

the punch is okay, it seems to give you a fast h1 without needing to hold the button (but you did have to punch)

also heavy attacks can lunge you forwards for extra mobility

[tame venture]

just chain heavies for mobility, or one of them?

[vapid lichen]

always aim for the head, especially with uncanny

lemme check rq

it might apply to H2 to but i honestly can't tell

it definitely applies to H1 though

[quasi junco]

5% I believe

[vapid lichen]

im not the best player but i do use knife fairly often
at least what it seems like to me is that h1 gives the best lunge but it also slows you down at the end of the lunge

so what i usually do is lunge, wait for the animation to almost finish, then slide to cancel the slow

saves stamina too

[lethal lagoon]

Psyker is 7.5% base crit, so that.

[vapid lichen]

but if someone else here has more actual technical knowledge of exactly how it works, listen to them instead

[lethal lagoon]

0, technically. Psyker is at 7.5.

[potent echo]

Psyker has innate 7.5% crit

[fresh reef]

I'm back to running Warp Charges
Disrupt Destiny just makes me throw games for some reason lol

[static needle]

so with a voidstrike with nexus and 5% crit chance perk I think the maximum crit chance i can reach is around 40?

[potent echo]

If you don't manually reset your targets sometimes you overextend yourself

[potent echo]

Don't forget 5% node

[vapid lichen]

wait how do you manually reset the DD target

[static needle]

yes i included that

[fresh reef]

I think it's largely because they're a big visual distraction

[potent echo]

Look away for 5 seconds

[vapid lichen]

oh you just look away?

that's really useful

[potent echo]

It's really dumb but yea

It also makes me do stupid things like throwing a full voidstrike into a bruiser instead of the 3 maulers coming for me

[fresh reef]

the multiple specialists in a horde: threat factor 0.1
the single bruiser somewhere in the middle: 1.0

[static needle]

For this build, should I go with perfect timing talent or mettle? also, pls lmk if you have any other suggestions to the talent tree

[zinc tartan]

Is First Target the dumpstat for Illisi?

[potent echo]

Perfect timing is great always

[vapid lichen]

idk if i'd ever run a crit build without both perfect timing and mettle

switch off of warp expenditure instead

[static needle]

mettle could be great if im spamming left click attacks on staff tho right?

[static needle]

ye i guess

[potent echo]

Mettle gives some speed

I really never noticed the toughness Regen from mettle

[vapid lichen]

warp expenditure is 25% toughness for generating an entire bar of peril
which is... really poor

[potent echo]

Warp expenditure even less so because it doesn't even give speed

[static needle]

i mostly want it for the toughness so then it synergizes with the crit evasion talent so i can keep shooting, regain toughness, kill the enemy

[quasi junco]

Trauma blaze will fill your toughness right up

It adds up per enemy that was crit

[potent echo]

With void, you just want soul stealer

[vapid lichen]

i'm pretty sure mettle also triggers twice from surge blessing procs

[potent echo]

It does?

[quasi junco]

I tested in meat grinder

[potent echo]

I see, but needing to test in grinder means it isn't super obvious

[quasi junco]

Spawned 20 gonks with no talents period. No amount of crits gave me toughness

[static needle]

altho, couldnt soulstealer be better since i am using a voidstrike? idk tho not sure

[quasi junco]

Added only mettle and filled me right up when I crit

[potent echo]

I see, but you would get that from soulstealer

[vapid lichen]

warp expenditure is just not great in general

[potent echo]

I'd you edge at 80 peril, it means you are getting 5% per cycle

Might as well not have it

[static needle]

meant to type soulstealr

[quasi junco]

True lol

[vapid lichen]

soulstealer is insane

[static needle]

sooo maybe i should use soulstealer instead of mettle for this voidstrike

dunno

[potent echo]

You want perfect timing

[vapid lichen]

if you drop mettle, you can't take perfect timing

[potent echo]

So mettle is just tax

[static needle]

ah tru

[lethal lagoon]

For void, I like expend more than mettle, since I need one of them. Sometimes having that constant little toughness gen staves off the ranged toughness drain.

[static needle]

but still better than warp expenditure i suppose

[potent echo]

For sure just for the speedboost

Works in melee too

Expenditure doesnt

[lethal lagoon]

Mathematically, expenditure sucks, but in practice it feels different to me. Probably just crazy.

[vapid lichen]

mettle also works with a gun

[potent echo]

Maybe it's the vet with their weird toughness talents

[lethal lagoon]

I remember an old game had it's beta testers complain about how one weapon was better than other by a lot. The weapons were identical in performance, just had different sound and design.

And the "better" weapon had such higher K/D ratios and stuff

[potent echo]

Sounds like beta testers alright ayo gottem

[quasi junco]

Mettle gives speed tho yes?

[lethal lagoon]

So what I'm saying is, if you run surge staff without thunder hammer on it, you'll probably think it's not that good.

But with thunder hammer, it's OP

[vapid lichen]

mettle does give speed

and it's tangibly noticeable

stacking mettle, scrier's speed, and DD speed is really funny

[lethal lagoon]

Oh mettle is great, but on void....

It's practically gone by the time you are moving.

[potent echo]

You get the boosted sprint slide channel

It's funky

[vapid lichen]

there's also a really big difference if you're strafing and doing left clicks

[potent echo]

Also works for melee too

[zinc tartan]

Feeling pretty good about this one.

[static needle]

good staff!

[static needle]

not when u spamfire with warp nexus on the staff

[zinc tartan]

Thanks! I am thinking of putting unyielding on it so I dont feel so useless against monstrosities.

[thick jacinth]

So, I got a surge staff. What use is it build wise?

Like you shoot lighting and that's cool
but beyond that, it crits a lot?

[lethal lagoon]

4s is a very short buff on such a slow staff 🤷‍♂️

Neither options are great anyways.

[static needle]

by spamfire i mean left click

left click spamfire is good with surge blessing

2x crit dmg

[static needle]

i think all staffs have the same crit values. But yes, you do want to build it to crit

are u a new player btw?

[thick jacinth]

nah, but most of my hours are either in vet/Zel or before the new skill revamp

[static needle]

ok, if youre not lvl 30 then i wouldnt worry about it. If you are, best perks are flak dmg and crit chance

and best blessings are warp flurry and warp nexus

[lethal lagoon]

Flak, unarmored is meta atm.

[zinc tartan]

A couple of things!

1. It does great single target damage and can crit a lot.
2. It stuns a single target and 1 additional enemy. They secondary enemy takes a fraction of the damage, but it is stunned. This is a great method for minor control.
3. Warp Nexus and Warp Flurry on a high "Damage, Charge Rate, and Critical Bonus" roll mean you can spam it every second. This synergies with Empathic Evasion ( A critical hit makes you dodge against ranged for 1 second.)
4. It requires no aiming and the lightning bolt homes in on targets as you wave it across the screen. This is GREAT for killing hounds and trappers that surprise you.

[lethal lagoon]

5% Crit chance doesn't do much given the crit chance is already so high.

[thick jacinth]

few things changed from back then then for the staff meta blessings then

[lethal lagoon]

Yes, cause of limb targeting, you want unarmored, flak, so you still one shot shotgunners for example.

Me personally, I prefer carpace.

[vapid lichen]

surge aimlock is so gas

[lethal lagoon]

Shotgunners and gunners are just so low threat

to me

[vapid lichen]

u just do a 360 and hit the trapper coming from ur blind spot

[static needle]

uh dont you already one shot all the unarmored enemies with surge?

[lethal lagoon]

It's so if you hit the limb of a shotgunner and get an unarmored proc. Is my understanding.

[static needle]

yes and if u dont, u reap the rewards of the flak dmg perk. So why unarmored dmg?

[lethal lagoon]

🤷‍♂️ I'm just saying what the meta is around here and in the pin I believe. I don't run flak/unarmoared like I said.

It's to hedge your bets

to make sure you one shot em

[static needle]

hm

ok

[lethal lagoon]

As for 5% crit, that's never really good. Crit is additive with itself. So if you already have like 30% crit, 5% more is marginal in this scenario.

[potent echo]

If your last surge hits arm, you don't kill

So you need unarmored

Or don't need but it would be good for consistency

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, but then you just target another shotgunner, and the offshot finishs him off, combustion starts chaining, boom 10 dead shotgunners.

[zinc tartan]

Overall, its a fantastic staff and can be used in a lot of different builds. Personally, I like to lean into the crowd control more and play a Smite build.
I run a Duel IV with Maniacs so I can shred Mutants as they are the only thing that really gives me trouble.

[static needle]

eh idk bout that

[lethal lagoon]

It's just mathz

[lethal lagoon]

No perfect timing on surge is a pass for me.

[static needle]

i dont feel like 5% is marginal cause when ur getting attacked by several crushers you wanna make use of your crits to kill em

[untold widget]

augmenting smite is pointless, you can save a point there

battle meditation just makes it more difficult tog et to max peril for shriek flame

[vapid lichen]

i just tested it, you also hit the shotgunner unarmored breakpoint with 6 warp charges at high peril

but that's kinda risky lol

[untold widget]

another point there, that gives you mettle/expenditure and perfect timing

[vapid lichen]

uh oh stinky!

[static needle]

how so

[vapid lichen]

need both full warp charges and high peril to get the 1shot without unarmored

[static needle]

how high peril we talkin

[untold widget]

oh no, high peril. whatever will I do

86+

[lethal lagoon]

Personally I don't think it is, just target the shotgunner next to him and surge offshoot will kill him.

[vapid lichen]

not always gonna meet both reqs
but yeah just fire another shot lol

[lethal lagoon]

Or insta surge

I just find carpace so nice on surge.

[static needle]

no problem when ur running -6% peril generation per warp charge

[untold widget]

nope

[static needle]

will keep than generation nice and low

personally i wouldnt spend 2 points on vent when running surge staff

[untold widget]

I've been running a true aim surgestrike smite build that absolutely dumpsters auric damnation

[static needle]

you want to keep those warp charges

[vapid lichen]

share share

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, that's what I run.

[static needle]

if anything, run crit aura and shield so u can help out your team in sticky situations

[lethal lagoon]

Smite flaming shriek is just dumb. And surge just pairs so well with it.

[potent echo]

I take brain burst instead of smite, might change idk

I just hate standing

[static needle]

yes, share pls 🤓

[static needle]

dodge

[lethal lagoon]

Crouch

[potent echo]

I meant smite

Hmmm crouch smiting

[lethal lagoon]

Just a little gremlin, squatting in the corner, shooting lots of lightning.

[strong gulch]

gremlin

[static needle]

why do u want to pair smite with flaming shriek? isnt that reduntant? smite is all the horde control u need so why even use the vent at all? you just lose ur warp charges

[vapid lichen]

fire vent kills everything you're smiting

[untold widget]

current. I could likely give up PC and get the 6th warp charge but the tactile feedback of watching soulfire come up when I hit a special is giving dopamine currently

[static needle]

my friends do that lol

[potent echo]

Venting kills an entire entrenched position of shooters

[zinc tartan]

Thanks for the suggestions! I take the Smite augment cause I maximizing smite uptime and potency. I rarely Shriek because I am wanting to keep my warp siphons at 6 at all times. I use it only when necessary to prolong Smite, clear a massive horde with Creeping Flames, or save my butt if I am exploding. Battle Meditation lets me hold Smite on a horde for DAYS at Warp Siphon 6.

[lethal lagoon]

Flaming Shriek smite is for when you need to delete the entire map. It also extends your current smite cast.

[potent echo]

There's no competing with that in the whole game

[static needle]

huh

[lethal lagoon]

To be clear, you should be using surge like 90% of the time. Smite is a oh shit "Mapus Deletus" button.

You'll also get back all your warp charges almost certainly.

[static needle]

hmmmm

[lethal lagoon]

Assuming you aren't just smiting a pure poxwalker horde like a dunce.

[zinc tartan]

Shriek goes through walls. You can literally melt through the map.

[static needle]

wait are u running the 10% warp charge regen node ?

[static needle]

i dont gamer like that

[untold widget]

The extra chain only happens on left click. charged smites don't benefit from it. You'll have your charges back before hte last enemy is done dying from shriekfire so no worries there either. Smite also shouldn't be held for too long, just enough to get them on their ass when you let go

[lethal lagoon]

Sometimes, but usually no.

[untold widget]

just for some optimization tips

[vapid lichen]

a lot of stuff doesn't check for LOS for some reason

[static needle]

no shooting thru walls shite, i play propah

[lethal lagoon]

Wait

No

[vapid lichen]

but i'm not complaining

[lethal lagoon]

I got confused, I never run that.

I thought you meant battle meditation for some reason.

[ornate hamlet]

Fellas:

[lethal lagoon]

To be clear, when I say smite flaming shriek deletes the whole map, I mean literally everything but crushers.

with combustion of course

[drowsy scaffold]

[zinc tartan]

Oh! I didn't know it only affected the Left Click. You are right, that is pointless.

What stats on your Surge Staff do you prioritize?

[ornate hamlet]

I dump warp resist personally

Some do quell speed

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly, surge is kind of balanced, I wouldn't upgrade anything below 370 for a surge.

[untold widget]

Flak/unarmored and warp flurry and nexus blessings

[ornate hamlet]

I prefer reaching warp rider and warp nexus faster

[lethal lagoon]

Trying out a low warp resist isn't a bad idea though, just to see if you like it.

[untold widget]

priority is damage and crit bonus

to me

[zinc tartan]

I did that for my first good Surge roll. I don't recommend it. Things felt so much better when I rolled one with high WR.

[vapid lichen]

hmm i havent used my surge in a while
should probably change off crit chance on it

[lethal lagoon]

Another way to think about it, because smite and flaming shriek are constantly ticking, you are more likely to get the elite kill from your team and therefore set off a periolous combustion chain.

[untold widget]

mines at 80 damage/crit bonus, 76 quell and 68 charge/resist

[silent socket]

The grind for the perfect Purge staff is real

[untold widget]

its good enough for Auric mael

[lethal lagoon]

Agreed, but it's worth a try if you have the staff.

[silent socket]

I JUST WANT 80% ON ALL STATS BRUNT

[vapid lichen]

this is mine rn
i am a big fan of it

[untold widget]

dang

[ivory wharf]

Question do you psykers have a god complex?

[untold widget]

yes

[silent socket]

Yes

[vapid lichen]

yes

[static needle]

this is your surgestrike build right?

[static needle]

yes

[lethal lagoon]

Thurge Staff is the best psyker staff.

[untold widget]

@henks this is my surgestrike build

[silent socket]

If I can fire flames of destruction out of my finger tips I think I’m entitled to god-hood

[radiant sleet]

yes

[vapid lichen]

i played a game like 20 minutes ago where as soon as we extracted, two of my teammates started yelling slurs at each other and saying that they each carried the mission

[untold widget]

when you know it was you

all along

[vapid lichen]

yeah

[lethal lagoon]

Were they both in 3rd and 4th place?

[ripe yacht]

Yes.

[vapid lichen]

that's why i have a god complex

[half iron]

i have a hooligan hoolicomplex

[static needle]

what is soulfire?

[vapid lichen]

these two were the ones yelling slurs at each other

[untold widget]

when I'm reviving a vet in the middle of 19 ragers and tanking everything with KD, I feel unstoppable

[silent socket]

I love killing one guy with a shotgun and watching the chain reaction of everyone lighting on fire after everyone begins dying

[untold widget]

blue flames

[static needle]

what is more useful for your team, seer's precense or kinetic precense?

[untold widget]

from perilous combustion

Seers

kinetic is bad imo

[vapid lichen]

i heard some slurs i havent heard in years it was WILD

[spice veldt]

oh so you were the other Psyker I met in a consignment yard game yesterday night

West Coast?

[vapid lichen]

yeah west coast

[spice veldt]

damn I need to meet these people

[severe folio]

NEW REVOLVER VARIANT GUYS LETS GOOOO

WE EATING GOOD BREAD CRUMB THIS TIME

[vapid lichen]

oh were you the gunker

[spice veldt]

ye

[vapid lichen]

i was playing traum and i made a gunker build after that game lmao

[zinc tartan]

Seer's is one of the best Aura's in the game.

[severe folio]

who asked for braced revolver

[half iron]

please be for realsies i live under an ogryn rock🥺

[vapid lichen]

oh i found it in my match history

Mussat?

[spice veldt]

das me

[vapid lichen]

hahaha that's pretty funny

[static needle]

@untold widget Why dont u run quitetude for surgestrike build? the vent will be super useful for regening it

[vapid lichen]

that team was really good

[potent echo]

Most of us I think

It's high noon

[vapid lichen]

probably mostly you though lol

[spice veldt]

yeah nice game

no bad situations and we moved at a good pace

[vapid lichen]

true!

[severe folio]

5 shot bracer lets gooo

[untold widget]

because the next void that goes out murders 2500 things at 7.5% per

[potent echo]

I hope the reload is better..

[severe folio]

why would it be

[potent echo]

[severe folio]

haha

it would never

same reload

[spice veldt]

I wonder how bad the inaccuracy will be

[severe folio]

same clip size

[severe folio]

imagine the worse, now think that it cant be worse, but it can

[static needle]

yeah but in a panic situation or when ur overwhelmed u cant murder that many things. I think if u have time to set up those shots then u probably dont need toughness in that moment

[severe folio]

but ey if it comes with unique blessing

[silent socket]

Is there gonna be a two-handed Chain-axe?

[untold widget]

I'm not overwhelmed lol. I control everything with smite and then nuke

[severe folio]

maybe headshot refund bullet

[untold widget]

smite. nuke. smite. nuke.

nothing can move

[vapid lichen]

chain greataxe 👀

[static needle]

hmmm

[severe folio]

people rave that but unlikely, and even more unlikely that its for psyker

[potent echo]

If same mark means same blessing

[static needle]

[severe folio]

thats true, then they wont add a new blessing

also they gonna add a new shovel

[untold widget]

If smite is stacking up too much, its smite vent nuke

[severe folio]

yay

[silent socket]

Watch us get like a fucking big ass hammer for some reason

[potent echo]

Shovel for psyker

[half iron]

psyker needs a force boulder on a piece of rebar

[severe folio]

is this shovel gonna be accessable for everyone

[severe folio]

like the spacewolf librarian

[potent echo]

Force shovel

[severe folio]

fukin stormbreaker

[static needle]

isnt lacking battle meditation kinda yikes tho?

[untold widget]

smite builds true aim, true aim proc's surge. its a positive feedback loop of violence

[severe folio]

if they give us a force shovel i want its special attack to be a boomerang throw

[lethal lagoon]

I play surge/smite completely differently. Smite spam doesn't do that much in my opinion. Use for only insanely high density. Some games I might not even use it in more than 5 encounters.

[static needle]

idk i just always see it recommended

[untold widget]

well I also have Transfer peril on the staff

[half iron]

peak!

[untold widget]

so

[static needle]

dark souls gamer spottet

[untold widget]

not

really

[static needle]

what

not nexus?

[untold widget]

I don't need it

[static needle]

where are u getting your crits from then

[untold widget]

true aim guarantees crits

[static needle]

huh

[severe folio]

but on an actual note

[untold widget]

smite guarantees true aim

guarantees crits

[severe folio]

are we gonna be able to use this shovel

[static needle]

oh shit

[severe folio]

or is this still vet specific shovel

[static needle]

smite does that?

[untold widget]

its actually stupid

[static needle]

how fast does smite do that?

does it always hit head?

[untold widget]

half a second on a full horde

[static needle]

dang

[vapid lichen]

comically oversized spoon

[untold widget]

might not work as well on non-HISTG aurics due to lower enemy density

to be fair

but yeah I evaporate rooms at a time at full tilt

[static needle]

is transfer peril a must for this build?

[untold widget]

no

[kind jay]

my ogryn shovelstaff slaps the heresy right out of them

[untold widget]

its just locked in on my staff and I haven't made another

[static needle]

what would u run if you could choose anything else

[untold widget]

you vent so often for room clear that peril is an afterthought

hmmm

[static needle]

nexus?

cause if u have nexus then u can make us of the crit evasion talent

[untold widget]

flurry probably

for faster full charges

[static needle]

just spam fire and u evade ranged enemies while killing them faster

crit chance is good for fast firing things like left click spam

[untold widget]

I had a version of this with empathic evasion but I just full peril shriek gunners now

[light latch]

The shovel will cost 40 dollars

[untold widget]

nothing can shoot me if everything is dead

like at 4 warp charges and 85% peril, a true aimed full charge one shots crushers if you hit the weakspot

I've cleared a line of them in a hallway once or twice

with one fucking go

talk about god complex

if they patch out smite procs true aim then I'm fucked though lol

[ornate hamlet]

Anyway, recon sucks

Also fuck the input eating this game does

[untold widget]

let go of your buttons first

😛

[static needle]

what is PC?

[untold widget]

perilous combustion

[static needle]

ah

[untold widget]

killing taggables give fire

[static needle]

how would u do that

[untold widget]

fire make brain happy

[static needle]

and why would u give that up?

[untold widget]

in the build?

[static needle]

ye

[untold widget]

for the extra 2 warp charges

[static needle]

oh so you mean that you go left side instead

[untold widget]

drop PC and take the 15 toughness after perfect timing instead

[static needle]

right side i mean

jesus

3 am

[untold widget]

then drop left side 15 toughness and take warp 6

[static needle]

ye ye imma do that

dont need no gay ahh fire hehehe

[untold widget]

like I said

when you dump a voidstrike into a mixed horde and then they light on fire, you know that the elite inside is dead

[fresh reef]

I love surge

[static needle]

exactly, therefore no need perilous combust

[untold widget]

then they don't light on fire

and you're left wondering

are they dead?

[static needle]

yes they do? from the vent

[untold widget]

oh, yeah I guess

idk, PC is just free damage

i just like it

[static needle]

warp charges is also free dmg

[untold widget]

but its less noticable

no visual feedback that it's working

less dopamine

but go for it, get that extra 8% damage

[ornate hamlet]

I shouldn't need to

[static needle]

yeah cause if i have that i can be at a lower peril to kill big dudes

and need to charge staff less

therefore faster shooting

[untold widget]

yeah

I feel oyu

[static needle]

prefer that tbh

and also less peril generation

and faster vent again

i think the tradeoff is worth it personally

[untold widget]

its actually like maybe a second faster

[static needle]

but i havent tried it yet, we'll see

[static needle]

ill take every second i can get, and plus, less peril gen

less time spent quellihng

more time spent killing

[untold widget]

might be worth if you dont take transfer peril on the staff

[static needle]

ye i dont

the only possible hole im seeing in this build is that you are more vulnurable to ranged enemies

we dont have emphatic evasion, nor quietude to get toughness back when getting shot up

i guess vent can deal with ranged well tho

[untold widget]

yep

I do have a confession though

I run knife with this, for the speed

hides from shame

[static needle]

do you use any toughness regen perks for ur build?

[untold widget]

soulstealer and mettle

[static needle]

thats heresy if ive ever laid eyes on it

speaking of curios

what u use

[untold widget]

1 wound, two 3 stam all with block efficiency, combat ability regen, and ally revive speed

my hard carry loadout

[static needle]

wtf why u need stamina? for icky knife stuff?

[untold widget]

sometimes I tank DH's

[static needle]

do u really want combat ability regen when u have warp charges?

[untold widget]

if peril goes up too fast I can stam tank until it quells

again, I shout every 15 seconds

[static needle]

huh

cool

[static needle]

you talking about blocking?

[static needle]

"DH"?

[urban sandal]

daemonhost

[drowsy scaffold]

One message removed from a suspended account.

One message removed from a suspended account.

[static needle]

for sure

[untold widget]

Yeah. so tanking a DH with kinetic deflection is less easy after they patched out non-force weapons auto quelling. if you block every hit you'll eventually critical out on peril, at whcih point stamina takes over. after criticaling peril though, it bursts down by like 15%, at which point you can vent towards your friends who are likely dealing with everything else and clear that out

then they can come deal with the host

[cosmic sigil]

How do you use smite efficiently?

[silent socket]

Horde removal

And stunning big uns

[cosmic sigil]

I mean between lmb and rmb

[silent socket]

Oh

I dunno I don’t use smite-

[cosmic sigil]

[silent socket]

Personally a brain obliterator enjoyer

[ornate hare]

faster spread

so charge it everytime

[vapid lichen]

i just played a match where i accidentally blasted a sleeping demonhost in lights-out and aggro'd it onto me and i did this the whole time
i went down when it was almost dead and they killed it before it killed me

[zinc tartan]

Question for you my friend. You mentioned that Increased Range Crit wasn't useful and recommended unarmored and flak. Why did you say ranged crit wasn't important? I am asking in regards to this staff.

I was planning on replacing Ranged Damage ( Elites).

[zinc tartan]

Just get used to ONLY using LMB and you will be fine. RMB is useless. Honestly, I wish they would change the interaction for RMB entirely. Would be nice to do single target damage with it or something.

[ornate hare]

i recommend you maniac damage

its crazy

[digital narwhal]

Flak + Maniac ftw

[zinc tartan]

Haha, funny you would say that. I was thinking about doing that initially cause I maniacs were messing me up. But I recently got myself this sword and have been using it to demolish maniacs in a single dodge.

[ornate hare]

i normally one shot flak or they burn to death normally^^

[zinc tartan]

So with that in mind, I was thinking about going with Flak since I still wanna shred gunners with Surges.

[digital narwhal]

Strange, normally you'd need Flak to hit Gunner one shots "consistently"

I say "consistently" because of the body part targeting bug

[ornate hare]

yep agree

[thick jacinth]

Finesse damage would be what? weakspot modifier?

[torpid herald]

is the shredder autopistol good on gunpsyker?

[digital narwhal]

Not anymore

[zinc tartan]

Yeah, its Weakspot.

[digital narwhal]

Vraks Mk III Headhunter, Laspistol, Revolver, or Columnus Infantry Autogun are what Gun Psykers use now

or you can meme with a Recon Lasgun

[torpid herald]

what changed?

[thick jacinth]

if you get dumdum and infernus, the reconlas is fun

[untold widget]

Did I say that?

[digital narwhal]

Laspistol >

[digital narwhal]

Pinning Fire is kill

They deaded it

and now everyone sees how shit Shredder is on it's own

[thick jacinth]

Yeah it's better on Laspistol, but it's doable in Reconlas too

[digital narwhal]

especially after all enemy HP pools were bumped in Patch 13

[torpid herald]

aww that sucks

[ripe yacht]

😭

[digital narwhal]

Get a Columnus Infantry Autogun

Thing slaps

[thick jacinth]

for the laspistol it's doing great with infernus and Dumdum on my zealot
If you get the full auto mod, it's even better

[digital narwhal]

Flak + Maniac
DumDum + Fire Frenzy

[untold widget]

Jesus, people are actually like "I can't click multiple times, actually"

[torpid herald]

ill try rolling for a decent one

[zinc tartan]

Oops! You are right. I am high as fuck and thought you had said it. It was another guy who said :

"As for 5% crit, that's never really good. Crit is additive with itself. So if you already have like 30% crit, 5% more is marginal in this scenario."

I don't think I agree though as I really wanna crit to trigger all the crit talent goodies as often as possible.

[lethal lagoon]

You are also probably used to games where crit is double damage

🤷‍♂️ This is not one of those games.

Unless it's Void. But void relies on true aim. But there is a better argument for 5% crit there.

[digital narwhal]

I like crits in Darktide

They give pseudo-rending

It's pretty neat

[zinc tartan]

I am not so much interested in the Crit Damage as much as I am in a higher chance to trigger Mettle, Perfect Timing, and Empathic Evasion.

[cosmic sigil]

Carpal tunnel syndrome:D

[heady garnet]

which one is better? i hit the breakpoint for the burn @78% but bricked on the perks

[lyric burrow]

Right

[fluid knot]

Nah, you shouldnt have to hurt yourself to reach your peak DPS, thats not the fault of the user, thats on Fatshark for designing weapons which ask for an inordinate amount of work from the user

See; MKIV Lasgun

[cosmic sigil]

I think that's why some people use the +5% on a laspistol and the columnus iag (with scryer and all the crits nodes)

[spice veldt]

shrimply check the durability bar of your fingers and tendons

If it was a smooth helmet without wings, it'd be pretty cool, but i just cant get behind how weird it looks

Yes

[cosmic sigil]

[lyric burrow]

Im a sucker for full helmets/psyker tube stuff

[potent echo]

They have the duellist hat for the tube haters

[lyric burrow]

That ones good too

[silent socket]

But only because it fits the Psyker “Stand out as much as possible” style

Cuz lets be honest

If THAT doesn’t make them stand out

I dunno what will-

[fluid knot]

It is fair to say Psyker has an issue, much like Zealot, with getting a lot of sets of fancy pajamas

Ogg won that pack tho

[unkempt hare]

How should I go about trying to complete cliffhanger?

[silent socket]

The one where you use shriek to push enemies off?

[unkempt hare]

When ever I get things close to a ledge they just sit on the tip

[silent socket]

Smite

[fair spruce]

make em laugh

make em feel comfortable

then be gentle and spit on it if you have to

[unkempt hare]

I'm using smite and shreik

[slender coyote]

it's good?

[fair spruce]

it'll fit

[unkempt hare]

Yeah that's pretty good

[slender coyote]

i got the blessings by chance

I don't have the Tier 4 versions of them so i just changed the perks

[unkempt hare]

Two of the best

[slender coyote]

Yeah I got it from melk

[late field]

Anyone got a decent Scrier's Gaze build? I know its great with a gun-psyker but I can't seem to make it work with anything and I want to try soemthing other than Smite and Assail

[unkempt hare]

With melk his stuff is pretty hit or miss with emphasis on miss

[slender coyote]

Yeah but u can get lucky

[fair spruce]

I got most of my top tier blessings just checking at sundown each day and immediately dropping on the t4s I was after

[urban sandal]

melk is a blessing vendor nothing more

[fair spruce]

it sucks to do but punish yourself into building up like

ten thousand melk marks

so you have an immediate purchase pad of one, maybe two

he gets a lot less of a bummer when you can just sit back and scan for instamelts

[flat moat]

perks for the dueling sword?

[fair spruce]

if you're not a degenerate loot goblin like I am and always broke buying gear you can force your pretty stat base weapons with coins and brunt

also the other ideal way to get t4 blessings

drop an amount on a set of whatever weapon you want the blessings for, and consecrate them just to blue

[digital narwhal]

What’s the delay before Peril begins passively quelling, guys?
I’m away from my PC, so I can’t test, but I need the number

blessing tier range is based in part on the item base stat

so if you have an idk 365+ weapon you stand like a thirty percent chance of getting a t4

some blessings are a lot more common to get than others

so for those, you watch melk

keeps your expectations in check and tidy so you're not just punching holes in the wall cuz of melk or harrow bricking your shit every day

and bam, in a month your sticker book's 80% with all the ones you need

(I have ground out an indian landfill sized amount of gear)

anyway, grog's talkin, Unc Ok out

You need to edit a staff to have the colum mk 5 or the revolver on the end of a staff for a meme

[digital narwhal]

What?

[fair spruce]

hold please

[digital narwhal]

It’s 4am, I just need answers

[hearty oak]

like a few seconds. dont know the exact number

[digital narwhal]

I

need the exact number

[hearty oak]

Im logging in rn

I just ran each tier with smite to 100

[celest hedge]

I just got the idea for a force melee weapon with a force parry, readying it builds peril and does an AOE burst like shriek or a stronger force weapon push when it lands

[hearty oak]

about 3 seconds

[celest hedge]

I want more parry weapons and a special warp one would be great

[fair spruce]

btw that lil tricksy of intentionally using smite to bounce off of max peril for the immediate quelling head start

yall get that one for free

[slender coyote]

what about a gun that uses peril instead of ammo

[fair spruce]

behold

[slender coyote]

would kinda work similar to the plasma gun but like also not

[fair spruce]

a gun that shoots peril

[slender coyote]

holy

[hearty oak]

Wheres the barrel

[fair spruce]

the gun is actually only millimeters long

at the end of the ground contact

the entire thing is the barrel

and you can't tell me something that stupid doesn't already exist in the 40k canon lol

[hearty oak]

[fair spruce]

does this apply to void bolts

or just left clicky handy wave

[urban sandal]

exactly 3 seconds from the frame your peril increases to the frame it starts draining, assuming you're playing vanilla

[fair spruce]

that may differ with staff decay boosts

[digital narwhal]

Cheers

[urban sandal]

this was with a blitz out

[fair spruce]

swhy I used smite

[digital narwhal]

Nah, they don’t affect the delay iirc

Just the manual Quell and the passive Decay rate

[fair spruce]

ah so just once it gets going

not like toughness regen reducing the delay before your bar starts coming back

yknow when I got this borderline ridiculous shriveled hand trinket I had no idea it'd end up on like a third of every weapon I have

it's so off putting

and hilarious

[hearty oak]

also... new fanning technique for the revolver. Cant wait to use mow down crushers even faster

[severe folio]

[kindred edge]

Does everybody already know that the Deimos force sword's H2 knocks ogryn on their ass if you headshot?

[vapid lichen]

a lot of people here do at least

[kindred edge]

Okay. I hadn't played with it yet so it was a surprise to me lol

[vapid lichen]

l1->h2 is the usual strat for stabbing large men

[kindred edge]

Yeah, seems to work pretty well. Neat!

[thorn cedar]

its the best
