psyker-class

[potent echo]

Scrier - nothing
Shield - most value
Venting - can you even build peril fast enough

[ionic frost]

mmm...hastened cooldown venting shriek...0 warp resist illisi...sounds fun

Here, have 30 stacks of soulblaze!

[quasi junco]

lol this is with voidstrike on vanilla damn

[unique sand]

several times now ive seen a zealot sprint ahead so far that the game spams specials at us, only for the zealot to get downed by some random ad. and whenever they are at the points where you have to hold out i see them in a corner holding down the block button

[bleak tulip]

vent isn't that hard to build peril for with smite

[potent echo]

Are they using a cope melee weapon

[bleak tulip]

but you'd probably still wanna give it to someone else

[potent echo]

Purple pot with smite and creeping

Hmm

[bleak tulip]

yeah

[ionic frost]

Unless the hastened cooldown regeneration isn't that much, you'll want to fire off as many shrieks as possible during the duration to maximize dps.

[bleak tulip]

it's like the one application I can see purple be good on psyker kinda

[potent echo]

If only we had fire walk lmao

[bleak tulip]

I mean you still gotta build peril for stacks

and smite is a fast way to do it

[ionic frost]

2 illisi rubs with a 0% warp resist sword will put you at 90% peril, to get 6 soulblaze stacks when you shriek

[potent echo]

0%

[ionic frost]

if the potion puts your shriek cooldown at 2 seconds, that's what you'd want to do

[iron flame]

Huh? Soo we should not be hoarding warp charge and just shriek?

[unique sand]

i love me the VS and have been using it ever since it came out, but somehow i cant even get 1 surge blessing

[summer prairie]

you can likely build peril fast enough with almost any staff except maybe purg

[potent echo]

We are speculating about the new Mechanics

[quasi junco]

Hey if I don’t like charging Illisi would I be better off with Dclaw? For the parry?

[ionic frost]

We're talking hypothetical with the new cooldown reduction stims. We don't know how strong they are yet.

[iron flame]

Ahh

[unique sand]

and melk almost never has a staff in his shop

[bleak tulip]

correct, generally

you build charges so fast anyway

[iron flame]

ahh OK.

[potent echo]

Actual nerf to purg

[ionic frost]

I mean don't blow your shriek when you don't need to use it. But don't hoard it and take damage because of that. =)

[unique sand]

psyker is all about edging without blowing your load

[iron flame]

Ahh I am using the first build with surge staff from the guide

[bleak tulip]

every time I want to build peril with void it's too slow so I just use smite for it

[potent echo]

🫦

[iron flame]

And since surge staff had shitty damage. I feel like I need 6 charge and a Crit just to one-shot gunners

[unique sand]

i think blowing up on psyker should have the same aoe and damage as the ogryns nuke nade

[native gyro]

No Nurgle November - pskyer every day

[unique sand]

we can then tactically get downed to save our team

[ionic frost]

100%. I'll play that wound psycker!

[iron flame]

If it is that strong, feel like there will be memey wound psycker yea

[ionic frost]

It'd also synergize strongly with Vet revive shout.

[bleak tulip]

the range and damage are so bad for a reason

[unique sand]

actually yea

[ionic frost]

Very true. =)

[ocean cipher]

what blessings for each staff?

[ionic frost]

Tho when I do accidentally blow up I start dodging into the largest enemy clump to take em with me!

[iron flame]

although I did got that redacted penance accidently since I blow up at least once every game

[unique sand]

actually if you could use a stim to insta revive a teammate that would be really good

[ocean cipher]

wanna have a perfect version of all 4 staves

[ionic frost]

You'll need about 1 million more hours in this current crafting system.

[ocean cipher]

i alr have a few perfect guns

[ionic frost]

so they're 4x 80/60 movespeed guns?

or 60 collateral for some

[unique sand]

thatll be 300,000 plasteel and your left nut

[ocean cipher]

not literally perfect

like

ideal weapons

[ionic frost]

ah ok

so you're willing to have 4% crit chance perk instead of 5%?

[ocean cipher]

yeah

[ionic frost]

that'll cut off 998000 hours off the grind

[iron flame]

Would be nice if there is that optimization thing like in Division 2 where you spend shit tons of high end mats to max out stats

[unique sand]

hopefully in the future

[ionic frost]

Also, some staves you'll want more than 1 of.

[iron flame]

Yea... Would be cool to empty the diamante stash

[ocean cipher]

why's that?

[ionic frost]

Like a warp flurry rending trauma staff, and a warp nexus blazing spirit trauma staff.

[unique sand]

im gonna cope hard for that while i hold on to my weapons with nice blessings and perks but shite stats

[bleak tulip]

just eat the blessings?

[unique sand]

alr have the blessings eaten

[ocean cipher]

ok so like

[iron flame]

I think the game will have red rarity sooner or later

[ocean cipher]

what are the best possible blessing combos on each staff

[iron flame]

I am just coping that it won't take forever to farm

[ocean cipher]

what if red rarity's just a flat 20% buff to every stat

or like u get to pick 2 stats and max em

[bleak tulip]

then I wouldn't bother, I highly doubt we'll get a system to add more stats besides maybe a way to go above 80 on like one stat or something like that on a year from now

or something similarly far off

[unique sand]

id rather the 20% honestly

[iron flame]

Hmm I was thinking along the line of maxed out 400 base Stat

For red

[ocean cipher]

what would red even be??

relic?

[unique sand]

artificer

maybe

[urban sandal]

dunno about the rest but for trauma you can go either Rending Shockwave/Warp Flurry or Blazing Spirit/Warp Nexus depending on how you wanna build/play it

[iron flame]

I am just thinking along the line of vermin tide red rarity weapon where stats are maxed out

[fluid knot]

Pretty sword

[unique sand]

im pretty sure in 40k whenever they want to say a weapon or armor is super strong they just say artificer

[bleak tulip]

there's a tumor on your grip

[iron flame]

Ascendent maybe?

[unique sand]

artificer power sword, artificer power armor, artificer boltgun

[iron flame]

Or is that already used

[fluid knot]

Annoyingly, it wont let me remove it

[bleak tulip]

rip

[unique sand]

change to a less tumorous dangly bit i guess

thats what i had to do

[fluid knot]

Eh, i'll live with it

[iron flame]

Also copium if they do it like VT. At least add pity since it is basically a gacha game except instead of waifu we praying for loot

[bleak tulip]

is it just there for some grips?

[fluid knot]

Nah, there is a bug with the mod that stops you removing your trinket

[quasi junco]

wtf I regret buying this helmet, the gaps lol

[fluid knot]

It shows up for all of em

[bleak tulip]

deactivate mod and take em off, reactivate mod

[unique sand]

i dont think the word pity exists in their dictionary. except for use in "pity the fool(us)"

[fluid knot]

Ehh

That invovles time staring at file trees and im exceptionally lazy

[unique sand]

oof

[bleak tulip]

I mean if it doesn't bother you I guess

[fluid knot]

I kinda like my fluffy sword-testicle

[unique sand]

just pretend its an incese burner

[iron flame]

😭I think I have like almost 500+ hour and still only one character fully done with reds

[unique sand]

wot

[iron flame]

In vt2

[unique sand]

yea

[iron flame]

The drop rate for red equip is just so damn rare

[unique sand]

still

tbf in VT2 you basically pick 1 or 2 characters and play those. esp if you mainly play it with friends like me

[sacred crane]

siblings am i speaking to the emperor as seer?
https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/1GM7nZGudgaU1v/d1337SN6FbfY?invite=cr-MSw4eUksMTkxMDIyMjAyLA

[unique sand]

yes totally. The Emperor protects

Beloved is he who sits on the golden throne

[rigid rune]

no more of these heretical thoughts from you 😡

[iron flame]

Is Emp the only good daemon entity?

[unique sand]

arent all sanctioned psykers mind linked to the emperor

lore wise

[sacred crane]

filthy zealot gets jealous that a psyker is able to speak to the emperor

[rigid rune]

yes iirc

[rigid rune]

mutant.

[bleak tulip]

we are not in fact sanctioned psykers however

[unique sand]

depending on your background right?

[bleak tulip]

regardless of background

[sacred crane]

then who is seer speaking to?

[bleak tulip]

their beloved

[sacred crane]

who is beloved

i keep getting hinted that its the emporer

[bleak tulip]

its not said who

[rigid rune]

emp (maybe) daemon (prob)

[bleak tulip]

good dog

[sacred crane]

I heard a theory that its a piece of the emporer's conseniouses mixed with a warp daemon that he is speaking to

[bleak tulip]

either way the emperor still heavily influences the warp so its not out of the question even for an unsanctioned psyker

it could also just be any daemon having a giggle

fucking with nurgle

[unique sand]

or you could just be batshit insane

[sacred crane]

Zealots be hatin' cuz they cant be speakin' to big man like me

[unique sand]

as most psykers are

[sacred crane]

[rigid rune]

I wouldn't think that the Emperor would bother talking to random psykers even Guilliman thinks he's a an asshole lol

[plucky flax]

I am unsanctionedpsyker.

[rigid rune]

To the blackship with ye

[plucky flax]

[unique sand]

i'd be an asshole to after sitting on a toilet sized painglove and being a glorified lighthouse for 10,000 years

after having my dream shattered and best friend fried

[plucky flax]

Each black ship must have so many blanks in it to suppress all these rogue psykers.

All that for the golden toilet man.

[bleak tulip]

well he is the one holding this shit together

[ocean cipher]

ok so like\

[bleak tulip]

(officially)

[ocean cipher]

isn't the psyker's beloved like SUPER heresy

[rigid rune]

yes

[ocean cipher]

like fucken turbo heresy

[bleak tulip]

eh theres worse probably

[ocean cipher]

"BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR" lmfao

[unique sand]

i think the few sisters of silence on them work well to contain the psykers, considering they are all usually thrown in a big sports hall like room and left to rot in there

[bleak tulip]

its not some christian "take his name in vain" type dealio

[ocean cipher]

that's a khornate battle cry

"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!"

[rigid rune]

there are worse heresies but definitely something that would get you killed

[ocean cipher]

"SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE GOLDEN THRONE""

[bleak tulip]

yes thats the joke

[ocean cipher]

any commisar worth their shit hears u and u get shot on the spot

[plucky flax]

What voice says that line?

Not the agitator.

[rigid rune]

Zealots can have some Khorneflakes as a treat

[ocean cipher]

Zealot Charge ability

[bleak tulip]

considering most commisars wouldnt know a khornite battle cry off the top of their heads, doubtful

[plucky flax]

Not the judge, I forgot the name of the 3rd voice.

[bleak tulip]

you dont get how massive the universe of 40k is and how few people truly are exposed to daemons or educated on the chaos gods

[rigid rune]

They should right? It's their job to stop heresy in the guard.

[bleak tulip]

their job is to motivate the troops

by any means

it is everyones duty to be on guard against heresy

[urban sandal]

fanatic

[chilly coyote]

this guy is 99% heretic

[plucky flax]

Cheers big angel man.

[chilly coyote]

maybe even more

[bleak tulip]

still doesnt mean the average guardsmen, commisar or person really knows what the fuck a bloodthirster is for example

his name's even redacted

[rigid rune]

Oh like the 11th legi-

[urban sandal]

the 11th what

[chilly coyote]

prob chinese characters

[bleak tulip]

yes, I was making a joke.

congratulations for explaining it

[chilly coyote]

👍

[iron flame]

Damn

Man is one wild hit away from dying

[ocean cipher]

is it possible to get this much exp from 1 mission

[untold spindle]

yes

hop on maelstrom

[fluid knot]

Can i put sugar on mine?

[bleak tulip]

quickplay auric is like 10k every time

[untold spindle]

auric isn't before 30

[bleak tulip]

and levels are like 7k or something

well then do quickplay damnation

[fluid knot]

Worth pointing out here tho

Malice > Heresy > Damnation <> Normal Maelstrom > Auric Heresy > Auric Damnation > Auric Maelstrom

[ornate hamlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1unwbNyEdeo Anyone try this build yer?

[fluid knot]

This is the intended difficulty order, dont jump straight into Auric Damn as soon as you hit 30, you'll get rekt

[untold spindle]

hop on auric damn as soon as you hit 30

trust

[fluid knot]

Going into the hardest content expecting people to carry you isnt helping you or them

[untold spindle]

carry them instead 😎

[fluid knot]

Dont matter how good the rewards are if you cant complete the mission

[bleak tulip]

EP BB pretty mid tbh

[fluid knot]

Funny though

100% peril bursts on Shotgunner packs is entertaining lol

[bleak tulip]

I mean it makes using BB not wanna rip your nuts off and fling em out the window

[untold niche]

wait illisi cant stagger crusher?

[fluid knot]

Eh, i still enjoy BB a fair bit

[untold niche]

i tried using special heavy, cantr stagger

oh the push attack staggers

[bleak tulip]

most melees dont stagger crushers, is that so surprising?

well, not fully stagger at least

[fluid knot]

Aye there isnt many that do it reliably

[bleak tulip]

does deimos special even do it?

if theres any psyker weapon then that

not that thats a good way to do it

[untold niche]

uh, both the deimos and ds4 can stagger, so if it indeed doesnt stagger then yeah it would be surprising since its a meta weapon.

[fluid knot]

I beleive Combat Axe heavies also stagger them enough

[bleak tulip]

I mean the DS 4 is meta because it can two shot crushers, not because it staggers

[glossy ember]

dunno if you need 3 toughness generating nodes. could probably do with just soulstealer and mettle, and get empathic evasion instead.

[untold niche]

yeah but it can stagger too? :v

[glossy ember]

i'd probably go for a more offensive version of tbe build by going for assail with malefic momentum instead and crit aura

[bleak tulip]

it doesnt throw em on their ass is more what I meant

aka full stagger

[untold niche]

im in psk, how come when i headshot armoured ragers, no orange text?

[bleak tulip]

with what

[untold niche]

voidstrike

[bleak tulip]

should work

aim higher

void is funny like that

if you aim too low the projectile hits the chest more often than not

because the chest sticks out more I guess

[quasi junco]

wtf just got a penance called disruptive behavior

[bleak tulip]

and if you want the real ??? moment headshot a mauler with void

[untold niche]

i uh, aimed above their head, still no orange text :v

[bleak tulip]

it counts as flak

dunno maybe its borked

left click gives you headshot tho?

[untold niche]

yeah it does

talking about rmb

[bleak tulip]

yeah I just tried to eliminate some kind of other bug

[blazing trout]

Gotta say, bringing bubble as opposed to venting shriek has been the best choice I’ve ever made for purgatus staff.. I miss a bit of the playstyle, but I feel soooo much more impactful on auric

Brain burst, purgatus, bubble. Works out so nice

[untold niche]

i think psyker, most important that is your are comfortable with the build
but like most people, im too ego to use comfortable builds

[blazing trout]

I had one too many times of shriek not pushing a burster, and just decided to give up on it.

[untold niche]

watch me blow myself up 4 times in one match just to use voidstrikem gaze

[bleak tulip]

why tf you shrieking bursters

[blazing trout]

I do miss the boss damage though, iirc you could stack burn higher from shriek

[bleak tulip]

what a waste

[blazing trout]

The cd is short and it simultaneously applies 6 stacks of burn to everything?

[untold niche]

talking about shoving

i swear the ds4 shove is a joke \

[bleak tulip]

if you have the peril up the moment a buster shows up and there is anything noteworthy around it

and even then I still push em instead

[untold niche]

maybe he on staff, not fast enough to switch to melee to shove

[bleak tulip]

I mean its no FS but its pretty normal

[bleak tulip]

actual skill issue then

bursters are like one of the only enemies whose sound isnt broken constantly

[untold niche]

some people ,reaction time slower :v

or around the corner

burster jumpos

[bleak tulip]

as I said, skill issue :v

[blazing trout]

Lmao. Bud. It’s a situation of thinking “push on venting shriek should push a burster” not that I can’t weapon swap

The ability is non intuitive in its interaction

It does it about half the time, and I figure it’s just related to stagger breakpoints

[iron flame]

Yea... I sometime is ready to push but forgot I am not in melee and ended up rmb shocking the burster instead lol

[blazing trout]

The issue I have is that it “should” push a burster. And it won’t

[untold niche]

am just trying to make this place a little more positive, please recognize that

[bleak tulip]

yeah I'm just not giving this guy the time of day because I remember him being a bit of a stinker a while back

calling people stupid for disagreeing

[blazing trout]

People need thicker skin. I’ve no issue with someone implying I’m bad.

[untold niche]

wait legit?
as in for psyker?

i came from zealot and all the weapon i tried at least make them more than just "oh sorry sir, i nudged your shoulder"

i guess these are nuances between each class

[blazing trout]

See, it’s just a case of goes around comes around. Alls good

[untold niche]

i see.

[blazing trout]

But yeah. Sometimes I hope as well that venting shriek might push a burster far away at me to save an ally. But it only works about half the time

[bleak tulip]

couldnt say how strong each weapon's push is individually, but generally I dont feel DS is that much weaker? idk thats just my subjective feel there

[untold niche]

i just feel alot of people here
very edgy
like 14 year old kid wanting to show others they are smart and funny on the internet

think no need to be so mean.

[untold niche]

so sorry, i meant like, are you saying
"for psyker weapons, ds4 push is pretty normal"

[bleak tulip]

"as far as I cant tell its pretty normal", because FS specifically has really strong stagger with the special push

[blazing trout]

I still try to bring my venting shriek build, but it contributes much less than bringing bubble

[bleak tulip]

dunno I dont really push a lot in this game in general because dodging is just so free

[untold niche]

i see
i tried devil claw, that one at least makes them take two steps back
the ds4 one is really just a gentle kisss

[bleak tulip]

the enemies you would wanna push you cant push easily, like ragers, and everything else youre generally better off dodging imo

[untold niche]

yeah you are right about dodging being more economical

its more like sometime my back to wall

then too much enemies

i need space to breathe

then ds4 is like

[bleak tulip]

thats when you better have a staff that can help you manouver out of the corner you backed yourself into

or having a FS and just moonwalk through the horde

[untold niche]

but but voidstike only shoot straight line :(
enemy smort, enemy enclose the gap

[bleak tulip]

you can stagger chaff with just shooting at the ground enough to get out of the shit usually

its like the only time blast radius matters a bit more than minimally and even that is a situation you should generally not get into if you can help it :p

but yeah

its an option

[blazing trout]

The push on FS push attack is notably amazing too.

[untold niche]

like full charge it, shoot at nearest zombie feet?

[bleak tulip]

its not super intuitive to pull out the staff when in a corner thats pretty true :p

[untold niche]

yeh FS pushes are insane :v

[bleak tulip]

nah just spam right click in that case should get you enough stagger to maybe open a gap to slip out

assuming its just chaff at least

[blazing trout]

With chaf you don’t need to charge

[untold niche]

hmmm they stagger but they don't like take steps baco

[bleak tulip]

with FS you can literally just tap the first stage of the push and walk out

its free

[untold niche]

hold on let me

record

[fluid knot]

The only time you wont be able to push a burster is when you have no stam

Dont sprint up to them an drain the resource you need to deal with them

[blazing trout]

Is that true of venting shriek?

[fluid knot]

Oh idk about Shriek sorry, they changed how much it pushes in the rework so ive all but stopped trying to use it for that

[bleak tulip]

alternatively do the most no effort push block strat https://streamable.com/aoy9co

[blazing trout]

I’m curious if Stamina may influence the strength of the push. That would be something cool for me to rest

Test *

[fluid knot]

I doubt it in all honesty

[bleak tulip]

push attack on ds4 still gets you out of jail free

[blazing trout]

My bet is that it’s based on elevation somehow lol.

[untold niche]

is that PA or push into normal light

[bleak tulip]

pa

[untold niche]

i see

[bleak tulip]

not ideal to do this without kin deflect probably but yknow

[untold niche]

its better than nothing

[blazing trout]

I just know that I’ve multiple times experienced using 90+ peril shriek, and it not pushing bursters

[bleak tulip]

its not meant to be the ideal thing and I didnt record it for this purpose but there ya go

[untold niche]

give me like 5 minutes, uploading

dk why take so long

also

psyker quell on staff
just reminds me when people pose by touching their watch

its such an awakrd and funny pose

[spice veldt]

the force swords have the best pushes among the 1-bar cost push weapons yeah

[bleak tulip]

could be you did it too early

[spice veldt]

and even compared to the 2-bar pushes

[bleak tulip]

if bursters are just running they dont explode when staggered every time

no idea how it works exactly but that can happen even with melee pushes

you can however tell pretty easily by the sound cue

hey arco

[spice veldt]

bursters not triggering their suicide when they get near 🥲

[bleak tulip]

#psyker-class message explain

[spice veldt]

i spent 1 bar of stamina to push you

die

[iron flame]

Whole team got deleted by a room full of gunners

Rip

[cyan notch]

busters

[iron flame]

Sorry team. No bubble because skill issue

[spice veldt]

crits and stagger buildup perhaps

[untold niche]

just name ur psyker spongebob

https://streamable.com/pouxvm @bleak tulip

[bleak tulip]

I mean more the fact that void headshots on maulers count as flak

[spice veldt]

and maybe also RMB's stagger scaling with charge

[bleak tulip]

same with charged maul iirc

[spice veldt]

o

wtf

[bleak tulip]

is that just a weird aoe interaction thing?

think its the same on zealot power maul

[spice veldt]

that is unusual as well

i guess voidstrike still has headshot priority?

what if you aim a little higher

[bleak tulip]

the same

[untold niche]

is this what you mean by the shoot at floor?
or am i doing it wrong
feel like not much space created

[bleak tulip]

tested it until it went over

always flak

[untold niche]

voidstrike RMB on armoured rager doesn't show orange text :v

very sad.

[spice veldt]

sussy wussy

[untold niche]

i was asking just now

[bleak tulip]

as you see left click was still cara

[spice veldt]

yeah some weapons don't show orange text for some reason

[bleak tulip]

so

[summer prairie]

the dmg looks more what it should do vs carapace on headshot crits and buffs

[spice veldt]

plasmagun is the same, but it deals weakspot damage nevertheless

[summer prairie]

it might just be showing flak due to the explosion dmg

[untold niche]

no it shows orange on other enemies
just not on armoured rager

[bleak tulip]

right

[spice veldt]

wait wtf

[untold niche]

mr voidstrike reply me plosss

[bleak tulip]

assumed it has to do with the aoe nature of it

[untold niche]

yeah i can show u vid if u need :v

i aim super high

[spice veldt]

i believe you yeah

[bleak tulip]

kind of, try hitting the floor under you and walking through them to get out of a corner is what I meant

their feet work too obv

but the "hit ground to walk out" is a trauma strat

[summer prairie]

do the test again but have it cleave through something else first

[untold niche]

https://streamable.com/98rt88

[untold niche]

okeh :v

[summer prairie]

not you

[fluid knot]

Yes it do

Aim higher

[bleak tulip]

theirs counted as weakspot

true aim went up

[untold niche]

i aimed super high :v

[bleak tulip]

probably just more void projectile fuckery

[fluid knot]

Well thats just fuckin weird then

Because this is replicable 10/10 times in my game

[untold niche]

oh didnt even realize that :v

nice catch

[bleak tulip]

yeah I dont think I ever had it not show the correct text either but I also didnt know for sure and im at work so I cant test c:

[untold niche]

dumb dumb question
is the headshot on armour ragert supposed to deal more damage htan body shot

[bleak tulip]

yeah

[untold niche]

oh yeah it seems to be doing > twice the damage compared to if i aim at his belly

just no orange

but i do get the orange hitmarker :v

just that its hard to see

cause uh effects

genuione questin right

what main use for voidstrike lmb

interrupt gunner?

but if you interrupt, their hitbox move around

hard to headshot

minigun ogryn cant be interruped from just lmb i think

[bleak tulip]

finishing off shit, interrupts, spamming kill weak shit

like if I knocked something over with RMB and know that they have low health because I just undercharged slightly or didnt have enough stacks you can one or two shot em with left click

or just have healthbar mod

that makes it even easier

[untold niche]

i don't want that cause thats too much "cheating" personally
i don't judge others for it tho

[bleak tulip]

yeah thats fair

[summer prairie]

It has a high suppression value/radius

[untold niche]

i just personally dont want to use it

[bleak tulip]

but yeah youll develop a sense for it anyway

[untold niche]

mean if i hit the floor, nearby enemy get supressed?

[bleak tulip]

even just hitting enemies near others

[summer prairie]

With lmb? If it's close enough

[spice veldt]

the DPS is respectable with crits, but yeah I also dislike using the RMB

[summer prairie]

RMB doesn't suppress if it doesn't hit something

[untold niche]

but on lmb the guy move around due to stumble then hard to headshot :((

[summer prairie]

Don't need to headshot

[bleak tulip]

good thing is its cheap and more spammable even without quell cancel now

[untold niche]

i thought voidstrike should always aim for headshot

https://streamable.com/ds5t4x @bleak tulip

[bleak tulip]

ideally but on left click it doesnt matter for stagger as syllogism said

[bleak tulip]

yeah its a bit of a crungly technique but it can get you out of a bind sometimes

[summer prairie]

It's going to stagger and suppress anyway. Even reapers get suppressed to the point they can't attack

After some shots

[untold niche]

so like, i do the stagger, then let teammate kill?

instead of

trying to kill them outright :v

[summer prairie]

They die to lmb crits

Without headshots

[bleak tulip]

it does a lot of damage which people dont seem to appreciate enough yeah

and you still get surge with it too

[untold niche]

do youi guys

normally kill gunner that way?

center of mass, lmb.

[bleak tulip]

I dont

[untold niche]

it feel like take very long to kill

[bleak tulip]

usually gunners spawn in gaggles

[untold niche]

yeah like 5

so what u do

[bleak tulip]

so charge shots can get em all

[untold niche]

but usually they perpendicular to you

not so nice that they like you score a strike

[bleak tulip]

position yourself so theyre not or get as many as you can in one go

usually you gotta get em early

as they walk in

when theyre in position already you kind of have to pick em one by one

[untold niche]

usually its something like that

[bleak tulip]

still usually just right click em from cover tho you can probably also just left em

[untold niche]

ohhh

[bleak tulip]

yeah youll notice them because they glow brighter or you ping em

been asked "how did you know someone was there" when I just press ping at common spots usually

[untold niche]

against horde you don't half charge rmb?
or you mean if only one guy close to you so you just lmb him

[bleak tulip]

stragglers, always right click into hordes tbh

if its just a shooter or something its faster to just lmb because they dont tend to move their heads as much

so the delay isnt as fucky

[untold niche]

hate it when its
i dont move because i thought it could hit both, or sometimes i was lining up for another guy prior so im in this position

[fading iris]

hehe buttface

[untold niche]

https://streamable.com/chnyv7 feel too long
but yeah good stagger

[bleak tulip]

if im seeing this right dodge right to line em up, keep head level for the horde behind the closer enemy

hitting one chest isnt a problem when you hit the heads behind it too

[untold niche]

yeah yeah its just sometime, already dodge to line up another guy i killed right before him, so no more dodges xD

[bleak tulip]

well you get 3 :p

if thats not enough I guess you don goofed

[untold niche]

i feel psyker, its really black and white.
you are only good at the things you are good at

[bleak tulip]

especially since 13 I feel like there isnt a lot I cant handle with void

even bulwalks you just mcfuckin shoot

[untold niche]

you freedom comes from options, but the actual things you excel at vs bad it i feel like pretty set in stone
like your horde clear isn't even getting compared to the single target focused zealot

[bleak tulip]

still staggers em now

[untold niche]

ngl when i found out you could daqmage them through their shield i was like thank god

[bleak tulip]

I dont know exactly how that works because its probably not meant to do that really

think it used to not go through and all they really did was raise damage afaik

[untold niche]

:O

[bleak tulip]

that and surge being buggy stagger wise where you can just stunlock monstrosities

[untold niche]

that would be so cancer

like imagine

the bulwark

2 bulwark

corridor

now you cant do anything

[bleak tulip]

thats when you used to BB to open em up before we had a choice

if it got reverted I guess I'd smite and hope someone else can deal with it faster, or smite to open the shield and melee

depending on range

because the problem is never the bulwark, its whats behind it so I dont wanna wait

[untold niche]

on that topic

i almsot never use my nade as psyker :v

that bad?

cause like

[bleak tulip]

depends on what you pick

smite I use pretty rarely

its mostly for times when my pub team is overwhelmed

[untold niche]

vs do what i need to do anyway (so no point to run bb)
smite doesn't spread fast enough to be a escape tool
and assail hard to get + i don't want to use it

[bleak tulip]

I mean you probably can run BB, some weirdos do, I just hate using it a lot because its so slow

but yeah when in doubt I'd run smite and use it when shit hits the fan in combination with shriek

so at least youre doing damage while smiting

[coarse tartan]

i havent played my psyker in over a year, got shit gear but he's level 30
whats a good build i can go thats good with shit gear?

[untold niche]

still am in the midst of levelling but im prob going to run

if i am not satisfied with the damage i might change to gaze :v

[bleak tulip]

uhh get any columnus 5 and run crit gunker

[untold niche]

i really wanna 1 tap crushers with crits

[bleak tulip]

other than that you gotta be more specific which staff yo uwanna use

[bleak tulip]

its not as reliable as it used to be 😔

[untold niche]

you mean like less cahnces to proc random crits or what youi mean

[bleak tulip]

also I would go for longer duration DD

[coarse tartan]

i think voidstrike or trauma

i heard trauma got buffed?

[untold niche]

how come?
some guy suggested i try with bigger stacks, if i can't maintain then go duration

[bleak tulip]

no you need more damage buffs now to get a one shot even with surge now

[untold niche]

i assume DD with gaze is doable
else that would be pretty sad

[bleak tulip]

because maintaining isnt as hard as people think, and you will lose stacks sometimes and there isnt anything you can do

[untold niche]

idk maybe i should have levelled vet instead
ik executioner stance + volvo is one tap crusher ez

[untold niche]

so sorry, yo umean isn't as easy?

[bleak tulip]

?

[bleak tulip]

not really its still good tho

[untold niche]

as in did you meant to type
"isnt as easy" , which mean its hard to maintain the stacks
else why not just go for increased max stacks, if its easy to maintain the stacks

[bleak tulip]

but trauma kinda depends on blessings a lot

I feel like

[coarse tartan]

ah ok

which staves arent?

[bleak tulip]

purg is pretty okey without I guess?

void can be okay with non optimal blessings too

its just generally very strong currently

just get one with high damage and charge rate tbh

everything else is kind of neglectable in a way

[fluid knot]

Another sexy sword

MKIV DS

[coarse tartan]

nice i liked voidstrike back then

[bleak tulip]

quelling you can compensate with the talent

[untold niche]

very cul
obsidian colour :o

[coarse tartan]

felt reallyt good to send one through a streaming horde

do you have a talent tree suggestion? im lost

[untold niche]

voidstrike feel like cutting through butter
but i don't want to cut the butter i want to smack it ;-;

[bleak tulip]

becasue they decay all at once, and there are times when one guy gets marked near you who isnt shootable and you cant easily reposition to get him

so I prefer the timer

maintaining 15 without thinking about it is pretty easy because of the duration I feel like

but hey dont let me talk into it if 30 works for you I guess

[bleak tulip]

make one for ogryn

turn IV cleaver into a DS

[untold niche]

quick question

if im near dh

someone shoot at dh

will dh attack me or shooter

[bleak tulip]

depends on if you trigger it by being near or if they trigger it by the shot

[sudden trellis]

try it out

[untold niche]

what if they shoot and trigger it

i can'

[sudden trellis]

return to us with your findings

[bleak tulip]

its latched to who triggers it

[untold niche]

i see\

no way around one

i walked past him

then aggroed

so sad

i thought enough distance

[bleak tulip]

and then whoever did the most damage, if nobody does damage then idk, but it does pick a second target now

no matter what

I think there is always a way around, havent had a situation where there wasnt yet

seen screenshots of respawns being right next to one but that might be a weird joining mid session thing for all I know

[full atlas]

what blessings do i want on MKIV Dueling sword?

[fluid knot]

Shred/Uncanny seems to be the generally agreed upon best

[full atlas]

it doesnt

how does the marked enemies look like?

[severe folio]

they glow cyan

can go into a sedition to see

CAN MAKE THE GLOW DIFF COLOUR?

SAME COLOUR AS BLAZE

[glossy ember]

aight lads

purg-pill me

how do i play purg

when do you m1 when do you m2

[sonic coral]

First thing you wanna do is pick up a good trauma staff

[idle bay]

With constant thought about who will deal with ranged threats far away. It's either on mostly usless teammates, or on you with BB or Assail to accompany your Purgatus

And then you come to cope with that idea - start playing Purgatus

[severe folio]

cant

but theywont glow like soulblaze

they glow harder than soulblaze

though yes same color

[glossy ember]

oh yeah dw i'd just use BB or assail with purg

wouldn't count on teammates for anything anyway

did he intentionally throw the game?

He used lighting glitches and hard carried

This was when smite was bugged

I guess using glitches is as close as you'l get to disrespecting lore so close enough

yeah i almost got hit by the burster after being netted though

but it could've gone way worse

[frail sand]

I've been in too many pubs to know exactly where it was going

[supple skiff]

once I heard that trapper I knew where this was heading lol

[glossy ember]

that person who mentioned shooting bursters last time with surge staff, i apologize for saying the opposite

bursters need to be shot on sight, teammates be damned

shot? I saw a zealot used Chastise the wicked into a burster today

aren't max health curios fine

they are fine sure

I play 2 max hp and 1 toughness.

i was more surprised about the substats

[frail sand]

+4-10% Ordo Dockets (Mission Rewards)

[plucky flax]

I don't think psyker is his main anyway.

He seems to play zealot and ogryn the most.

If anyone wanna watch some real dank meme it's me solo with bots using bugged surge

Cheers I made it myself.

[tiny saffron]

do staffs not roll surge blessing or am I just REALLY unlucky?

[glossy ember]

is it a speedrunner strat to look downward

[frail sand]

surge is T4 only right

[tiny saffron]

trying to roll surge on my void and its just not having it LOL

[frail sand]

so maybe hard to roll

[tiny saffron]

oh really? that would explain it

[quasi junco]

so on deimos, H1 is trash yes and should be avoided? L1 to H2 is best combo for elites/specials?

and push attack into H2 for ragers?

[plucky flax]

Yeah and side dodges. Extreme move tech.

[glossy ember]

i see

i look down sometimes to pretend i won't get shot by flying boolets

i dont actually know if it makes my hitbox any smaller, but habits from CS doesn't change easily

[quasi junco]

yea 1v1 deimos can safely destroy crushers/maulers/ragers

with little skill

[coarse bane]

I mean, when H2 can send them to the moon, lol, not much of a challenge.

[quasi junco]

yea weakspot hits with H2 blows them away

time to see if I can 2v1 crushers in the meat grinder

[plucky flax]

Look down and dodge shorten the delay between dodges slightly.

[coarse bane]

I think it's the only non-power weapon that can toss around a crusher.

[plucky flax]

With infinite dodges back then you can nearly keep up with a zealot.

[summer prairie]

I measured looking down side dodges vs not looking down and it was the same

I need to see some evidence

it wouldn't even make sense

[plucky flax]

You didn't look down hard enough.

[summer prairie]

might be

it's a timer, why would it tick at a different rate based on what you are looking at

[frail sand]

hey you never know-

[summer prairie]

if it improves your framerate maybe it makes your macros/button presses more responsive

[tiny saffron]

Is the can’t interrupt secondary a T4 blessing aswell?

[glossy ember]

t2 pretty sure

[tiny saffron]

Haven’t seen it lol

[glossy ember]

focused channeling right

[summer prairie]

basically wait until a shop has it

[tiny saffron]

Seen all the other blessings but not surge or that one

Yeah I guess so

Yeah I think that was its name

[untold niche]

does soulblaze proc DH?

[severe folio]

keepfukin getting exorcist for illisi lol

[severe folio]

it will latch onto them, and if you get close it will aggro

[untold niche]

I think i got fucked by that :v

[severe folio]

but if it burnt out before you avoid them like everyone else

then its fine

[wise ruin]

What builds y'all running rn, can't really decide what to use

[severe folio]

trying to go for a gunsker

laspistol, lasgun, autoguns

unconventional melees

[hearty oak]

gunkers are really strong right now

Just have a higher skill cieling cause you have to know what you are doing

[viscid matrix]

Gunker, keep swapping between burn Laspistol and columnus

Sometimes I swap to assail build with revolver

[untold niche]

@severe folio does revolvo gunker work? o.o

[hearty oak]

It does

All that crit chance for the revolver to benefit from

To be fair though, revolver works on any class

[untold niche]

but revolvo ammo very little tho

[hearty oak]

Only go for specials

and headshots

[fluid knot]

You ideally take Assail to cover your ammo consumption vs trash shooters an the like

[hearty oak]

The only thing it doesnt fair so well at is doing huge boss dps when you need it

[fresh reef]

What's BiS perks/blessings for knife?

[hearty oak]

hover over it and hold x and it should tell you which ones

[static needle]

Which perk should I keep? Im switching out warp flurry for surgestrike

[fresh reef]

It said +1,028 Ordo dockets, but I don't see that in the perk or blessing list

[quasi junco]

id keep maniac and reroll crit damage to crit chance

and need nexus

[hearty oak]

[quasi junco]

nexus/surge is best blessings

[static needle]

nope

nope

[quasi junco]

for a critstrike build

why take surge if not going critstrike

?

[static needle]

@quasi junco

[static needle]

cause i dont need crit chance

smite garantuees me crit thru true aim

[quasi junco]

That’s interesting, I run smite with my void

But I rarely use it

The smite that is. I love Void/Purge staves

[supple skiff]

void is great

with surge I prefer it over trauma even for crushers

[quasi junco]

If I pull out smite with void staff it’s cuz someone’s about to die, myself included

[severe folio]

yeah

btw guys i found

this

hm

take too long to load

gonna downsize it

[patent hatch]

Laz pistol fun

[severe folio]

no not the laspistol

its the box in the carnival

[remote gale]

I've never seen such exciting gameplay

[patent hatch]

tbh I prefer the shredder auto pistol other anything

[willow hazel]

Carnival's end event is so bad

[severe folio]

i prefer a normal semi auto handgun

[willow hazel]

Have you tried Columuns?

[patent hatch]

Yeah it's decent

[remote gale]

look at lil smite actually killing stuff

[willow hazel]

Not really smite, just stealing damage from the purgatus Psyker

[patent hatch]

Don't actually have a good one otherwise I'd use it more to combo with my brain burst build

[remote gale]

I know, but the killfeed still satisfies

[willow hazel]

I prefer Assail with columnus

[patent hatch]

Honestly I only run it for the random chance to brain burst

not a fan of assail either

[remote gale]

first time really using smite, and it's actually fairly useful. I've only ever seen other psykers use it to try and stun absolutely everything, or just stun poxwalkers, which is more annoying than anything

[patent hatch]

Only use it for armour and when people need to be ressed :o

[urban sandal]

smite psyker in scab only mostly melee when no one has the tools to handle them is a god send

[willow hazel]

Psyker just doesn't have any reload talents, so having Assail as something strong to do after emptying a clip is big.

[patent hatch]

i run full reload on it anyway 🤣

Pop crit chance and dmg vs maniacs

Shred is stronk

[willow hazel]

+groaners -> maniac and upgrade Uncanny eventually

You 100% want +maniac to one shot Mutant

[patent hatch]

Because you crit

[willow hazel]

It's pretty hard to hit 3 enemies

[lime jewel]

i dont think youll be using the dueling sword to cleave as often as single targeting

[patent hatch]

and dueling sword has monstorous crits and bad cleave

[willow hazel]

mostly you are just going to be spamming h1

[patent hatch]

You can 2 shot a crusher while critting

shit goes hard

Dueling sword is 👌

Yeaah on crit head shot mine does 1400 damage

God no

1 shot head shot all unarmoured and 2-3 shot everything else

[sly charm]

Just tried what I think is gunker, but not sure, anyone got gunker build laying around?

boss demage was obscene

[patent hatch]

Crit build with assail is gunker genreally

I cba to take pic of my tree lmao

[willow hazel]

Something like https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9abee7c6-365a-4955-aa07-bcbbf32690e6/columnus-psyker works

[sly charm]

I see that I was doing it wrong. Had Rupture

[willow hazel]

Some people like Kinetic Flayer

[patent hatch]

^^

[sly charm]

yea I was doing that

[patent hatch]

It's fine honestly

I prefer kinetic flayer because I tend to go more melee heavy.

[willow hazel]

Isn't Assail better with melee? Just weaving 2-3 in every time True Aim is up is quite strong

[patent hatch]

But for ranged focus I'd be going assail every day

[eager mantle]

I don't like the weak spot stacks node for DD for me. DD while I like at times feels finicky

[patent hatch]

tbh I haven't really tried it

genreally run smite for melee

as a panic button

Kinda works with any of them

[sly charm]

Its nice to have something to deal with bulwarks

to

[willow hazel]

Yeah their is some bug with DD where sometimes it just fails to give stacks, while still proccing the +20% movespeed. No idea what causes it.

[sly charm]

also when knetic flayer is up

you just tap something

and it dies

[willow hazel]

Assail right click opens them up

[sly charm]

Really?

[willow hazel]

lock on then aim up

[sly charm]

new to psyker

ok i try

[patent hatch]

Assail is great tbh

[willow hazel]

it hits them in the back of the head and staggers

[remote gale]

I've been doing this with guns, like it a lot, not a fan of assail, and I get psykinetic's aura this way

I find gun psyker really flexible though

[orchid shadow]

Anyone ever have an issue on last elevator down on Power Matrix where it won't go down if you kite a Beast of Nurgle on to it?

[patent hatch]

genreally what I run on my suicidal melee psyker

[plucky flax]

He said 1.2m damage but mine is scuffed.

I think ovenproof scoreboard hates blaze trauma.

Clearly need buff.

[patent hatch]

Gotta get me that scoreboard mod tbh

nice to see if I'm actually doing great or just trolling

[orchid shadow]

I want to like Trauma, but I'm clearly terrible at it. I don't get anywhere near the results that people get with it.

[plucky flax]

You need to master the flick.

I was born in it. Molded by it.

[orchid shadow]

This was my last trauma run

[plucky flax]

Is it blaze or the really bad build?

[orchid shadow]

It's Blaze. Unless I have different version of the build?

[cinder crown]

wat is good blessings to hav on surge?

[untold niche]

does anyone have a vod of DD voidstrike psyker
i struggle with close range hordes and clutch so i would like to watch how people play him

[plucky flax]

Idk. But it could be you're not accurate enough, or your staff is not as strong as mine. I admit I have like a very close to perfect blaze trauma.

But no way a purg can out damage a blaze trauma unless it's someone running ahead and skip all pickups.

[orchid shadow]

This is what I'm running. My staff is decent?

[vestal fulcrum]

Literally unplayable

jk, it’s good

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's good. So perhaps you're not being aggressive enough and just miss the full charge blasts.

[hearty oak]

Use the mk 5 colum staff. Ignore the psychic abilities and become a super solider

[orchid shadow]

By aggressive, do you mean being up front and trying to boom everything? I play rear guard all of the time.

[plucky flax]

I have gameplay footage if you want to have a gander.

[quasi junco]

and be labeled as a gunker? 🤣

[plucky flax]

Yeah more up front. Kill/soften enemies as they funnel close to team.

[hearty oak]

I think of it more of a better class. More straight forward

And also better

[plucky flax]

Be more selective with where you place your full charge blasts.

And use creeping flames more if you're not using it enough.

[viscid matrix]

drop that link

[orchid shadow]

Okay, I'll try that.

[viscid matrix]

tbh i love gunker, its what i usualy play
but the staff builds are still good

One is melee maelstrom so was pretty ez mode.

[hearty oak]

I'm more aggressive in playstyle so the fast forward style profile works better for me

[patent hatch]

Ah yes the collumnus staff

[viscid matrix]

if you want to play a staff build, learn to edge your peril, and you can still play agressive as hell

edging practice

[patent hatch]

honestly running flame staff and knife becoming a budget zealot is still my fav build

[hearty oak]

Skissue incoming: I tunnel vision a lot focusing on who to prioritize so the press f and forget power for scriers let's me not worry about blowing up.

[viscid matrix]

😄

[compact cargo]

Siblings, remember it's faster to explode than to bb a horde

[viscid matrix]

we do burn the world better than a zealot

[orchid shadow]

Huh, interesting. 3rd person for dodging?

[eager mantle]

Just thought that there should be a mod that as you edge your peril a transparent risqué image of slaanesh should become more and more opaque

[plucky flax]

If referring to me then no. Only at the start to move faster.

[untold niche]

@viscid matrix is it ok to take focused channeling on a staff?
very irritating when i get interrupted :v

[plucky flax]

Yes but you'll lose out on damage.

[untold niche]

i see

[viscid matrix]

😄 i swear sometimes i hear demons while im edging

[eager mantle]

quelling
"ugh buzzing...buzzing"
chaos yaoi image fading from the screen

[untold niche]

other than the management, is the reason nobody play scrier voidstrike that, you only have ~10 seconds or so of gaze before a 30 seconds downtime
and if you use scrier most likely you will be taking warp flurry instead of warp nexus

[long wharf]

void builds up peril

SG ramps your peril up to 100

makes it dangerous to play

[sly charm]

Is there a talent that increase quell speed?

[untold niche]

yeah botrtom lefr

[untold niche]

i can't imagine that one of your main source of damage has 30 second cooldown in a5histgi can't imagine that one of your main source of damage has 30 second cooldown in a5histg

[sly charm]

ty

[untold niche]

yeah i mean other than that, becauyse of sure given the time that some people has played this game the would be able to manage that

[long wharf]

there's no "managing" SG's peril gain

you can't stop it indefinitely

[untold niche]

as in, if the growth gets too fast just let it hit 100, end gaze and quell no

[long wharf]

and if you're spamming void while SG is active, it's very easy to accidentally overdose

[ornate hamlet]

This decent?

[eager mantle]

Just using something that generates peril during a state of ramping peril gain, people tend to just not to like riding that line. If I'm using a staff with scriers I'm having to manage peril while trying to make use of its uptime while the gun just works

[eager mantle]

I'd say so if you're not worried about ultra min maxing. I'm at the point where I don't bother with anything below 365 base

[ornate hamlet]

Fair

I don't really care I mostly spammed random ranged for the blessings to earn

[long wharf]

the biggest issue with SG and staff usage is that you waste some of the post-SG power window (10 seconds) having to quell in order to use it

[ornate hamlet]

I got this and this

[azure bridge]

Can blaze spirit on a voidstrike staff work?

[long wharf]

SG just wasn't designed for use outside of guns

[untold niche]

oh yeahhh

[long wharf]

it "works" as in you can do it, but it's sub-optimal

if you really want to apply soulblaze with a staff, purge or trauma are the gotos

[azure bridge]

Got a buddy who insists on using it and won't hear otherwise

[long wharf]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

if he isn't dragging the team down, there's no point in making a big deal of it

[azure bridge]

If it's still viable just not optimal I guess that's the compromise point

[untold niche]

so i guess its a tossup on if i want VS or bubble if im running voidstrike eh

[long wharf]

what you could do, however, is run a better void build side by side with him
