That’s a strange looking staff friend
hmm one mod left....
left, change perks to flak/unarmored imo
Question when going for ranged kill sire melk missions
do our psychic powers
count as ranged kills
actually,
whats the point of ds4 then?
can't really deal with horde.
if its to deal with crushers, can't the voidstrike staff already do that. and against ragers i heard the illisi is better anyway.
im too low skilled to understand 
use knife for da speed, void for the kills, and fire shout for bulk enemy removal
what do you do with speed?
dive shotgun nests and force them into melee lmao
but just repositioning for better sight lines mainly
and mat collection
wait so you don't void shotgun peepol?
as in, i shouldn't?
eh i thought usually for reposition its not that far that the greater speed would make much of a difference
if they're still stacked up I do, but sometimes you get caught looking somewhere else and then you hear the "chk chk"
a melee shotgunner is a safe shotgunner
so lets say hes at medium range, then what do you do? the 45 degree run to him?
or you spam 90 degree side dodge slide + sprint slides
Anyone know the answer to this?
you run
im sure you know thats not the answer i was looking for :v
I think so
well if I'm aggroed and not dealing with other things, and there's cover available, I'll take cover and then smite shout them and let the soulfire do its job.
If I'm aggroed and not dealing with other things and no cover is available, I'll dive slide into melee rq and then bleed them to death.
If I'm aggroed and dealing with other things I run away and reconsider my approach
I know but void blasting people in the face isnt what i would think if i have speed
in my context im playing staff psyker not melee psyker
honestly, I mainly camp a sight line and blast until nothings moving anymore. More often than not I will smite to 100% peril and shout any gunner nests I find and then nuke one of them with a quick void to start the PC chain
then I'll move up with knife and take next cover
it does help me get out of one sided (as in literaly one side where your behind is clear) horde situations, but i find that
- i get hit when i slide away no idea why
- when i run away the horde going to spawn @ the door near me and entrap me again
rinse, repeat
wait what is PC?
perilous combustion
dont you get downed for that
huh?
or you mean the specialist soul blaze
yeah
i keep thinking that means the over 100%peril boom boom
what d you think of point 2?
hordes aren't my problem, bombers/gunners/trappers/flamers are my problem
hordes get shouted at and they go think about their life choices
in hell
100% peril shout should murder any little guys
i thought it caps at 83% or something
but the killing is not instant right
no, but they get knocked down and burn to death while getting up
at close range anyways
if you shout at them at like half range they will keep running at oyu
does that work on the body armoured people
not sure the faction name.
Spot the problem with this
maulers?
small downward overheads?
oh the medium dudes?
i think so
I don't think shout will 100% those, but the followup voids will
i tried it in psk, doesn't even kill them
the scab assault dudes?
ye
i thought dreg is head armour, body no armour?
what's the green eyed flak helmeted shitters that ruin my life?
that nobody ever fucking kills?
iirc those guy takes 2 heavy to the head on weaker weapon
thats why nobody kills them
I don't care what they take to die, since nobody ever shoots them
yes.
ohhh
i.e. Satan's handmaids
should be taggable imo
they're just as dangerous as Maulers
they do decent damage but shouldnt be taggable
pretty weak and i think they have bad accuracy
they have perfect accuracy, what are you smoking
i remember one of the shooter types have bad accuracy
the lighter colored ones are terrible
couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat
xD
but the flak helmeted shooters with green eyes are actual crack-shots and they abuse cover like nobody's business
cant wait to finally reach level 30 and get good gear
feels like psyker only start being good after 30 with good gear :v
I haven't leveled a psyker in a while, so you're probably right
if you're talking about the melee enemies with an unarmoured head and flak body, they're scab bruisers
those ones obliterate half ur toughness with a single volley
oh ya
one of the maelstrom make all normal melee enemies spawned into those right
the M in maelstrom is for meme 
yeah, scab shooters (green eyes) don't have their tracking broken by dodges, so they'll hit you the moment your dodge i-frames are up if they're still shooting
REALLY?
crack-shots
scab/dreg stalkers are the only ranged enemies that have their tracking broken by dodges
(and trappers I suppose)
oh right snipers
I've seen snipers flick a dodging person
I HAVE BEEN LIED TO MISLEAD (prob misunderstood/ should have clarified but as the elite gamer im not the one at fault)
ZEALOT CHAT TOLD ME DODGE = SAFE FROM BULLET
a weird case, but they'll have their tracking broken if all is usual
during dodge? yes. After dodge? no.
Man. I wish i saved this screenshot.. A gunker and a gun lugger of an ogryn tore this auric maelstrom apart
whenever I play gunker the scab shooters get persecuted heavily
the're the first to die
I'm like conditioned through PTSD to auto fire at green eyes in the dark
@spice veldt how come green eyes get special treatment
I did 900k damage as the gunker and the ogryn did 700k. Only doing better in the boss deperatment for damage
cuz they're cool
Almost...almost broke 1m
ok I need to go to sleep
and not have nightmares about green eyes in the dark ripping and tearing my backside
giant spider?

lay egg in you
the hidden part is the ogryn was probably half asleep because the class is just that strong 
laspistol definitely fucks the most. Ia lasgun can be built for gunner deleting though
but since laspistol does that good enough I'd rather go down the laspis route since its boss DPS is insane
is malleus monstronum doable with the upgraded BB?
I was half asleep myself. Gunk getting in my eyes everytime i kept blinking
ah man, melk almost had it. If only warp res had been swapped with critical bonus
guys are blessings important for the flamethrower staff?
you do want nexus and flurry

Top 1% failed clutch. I knew not bringing stealth was a bad idea. 😦
ok i don't think i can play this game anymore with my wrist

rip
i think it's my mouse
it's too low

like, too flat
i have a mx master 2s that's much higher propped and it feel way confier
comfier
i should try playing on that
Like 37 mins game but I had to solo clutch for about 14 mins of it.

Get a new desk or?
Or chair.
bread very good
smite/void EP psyker is... decent.
mk5
the crit on that staff is just fine, surge dont need a lot of crit bonus
Crit bonus gives crit chance.
I can't remember the scaling tho but more crit chance is better.
it needs all da crit
that's like 15% crit rate
80 stat is 21%

the only way to make surge staff consistant is by critting
Just wait until bug fix to discover new bugs.
they fix armor roulette!
the damage roulette becomes a double gacha roulette that also makes crit damage roll a random number that can go under the base value of non crit damage

6% extra crit
yeah that's more than an aura/perk
Bruh it's-2 outside
It's 30 during the day for me 😦
I'd rather run when it's cold
No.
That's way too hot for exercise
I'm living in New Caledonia
So it's kinda like west coast Australia between Syndney and Brisbane
have they changed truama staff in any way? I must be playing worse cause im not killing as quick as I used to
Yeah that's nice for trail running. Except when they decide to make you start around 11am because stuff.
And it's horrible
Afternoon running when it's hot 
is this in C or F?
They buffed hp
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so wheres trauma on the totem pole then?
all psykers are actually alaskan.
heh
-2 but I'm still wearing shorts tho. I hate leggings
You should check your breakpoint in the calculator
It's still first in my books
Maybe you lost some
I've been to Alaska, family live in one of those remote'ish areas, no thanks lol
You can't have small pets, as they won't last outside 24 hours
For running in the city yeah. For trail running I'd rather use a legging.
I run on a cycle path. No cars so it's safe. My hands and feet get cold really easily but my legs actually stay warm.
interesting -2 if u still wearing shorts XD
leggings are cooler for me. i hate shorts
For exercise outside. Normally I'd wear trousers of course.
bcuz here in Ukraine at -2 i am legit packed in a full winter suit with additional underneath cloth
Oh for just doing normal stuff I have loads of layers.
Yesterday I went to the bank with a t shirt, a decently thick hoodie then a jacket on top. So 3 layers.
in my memory i was working outside only a few years when it was -20 - 25 here, and it was hell
I can't survive that. -10 probably the most I can take.

Normally uk don't get too cold. This is like really cold. Last year winter was around 7 degrees.
thats sites cool thanks for sharing shame I don't understand it too well haha
-3 over here
Last years it was the same for Ukraine too
any suggestions on what perks to put on trauma btw?
ye i am in South Part of ukraine
Does this proc on passive quelling or only when we do manual quell?
like right near Black Sea
passive as well as manual iirc
althou the fact that i live near sea even such joke temps as -2-5 feels like -15-20 in more dry regions
Aye. Imma head out and freeze myself while attempting to keep warm with jogging.
See you in the warp.

cya 🙂
You should try to set it up like that
With coefficients
The number you see is how many hits you need to kill your target
imma see u on the other side sibling
Ah thank you
Good solo run. don't try to clutch too much
thats cool to see. I didn't actually know the break points of the staff before hand
hi, does soemone have a good columnus mk V infantry autogun build? I once saw a video with scrier's gaze but i cant remember the exact build.
Ok
You want dumdum as your first blessing
Then it depends, you can go raking fire for massive DMG from behind, or sustained fire for shot burst of 4-5 bullets, stripped down for ranged immunity
And the classic, fire frenzy and deathspitter
Dumdum is recommended because there's no condition attached to it
do warp batteries not give extra damage anymore?
Fire frenzy and deathspitter had also their ranged reduced from 15m to 8m (it may not be a problem if you go gun blazing with scryer on)
thx, do you also have a talent tree with this gun?
I'd rather use stripped down instead of hit and run but both are valid
check pins for a guide
okay thx!
there's a few example builds there
but really it's just gonna be smite/assail, gaze, EP or DD
the damage part of warp charges has been moved to an upgrade
WAHT
class is dead
Pretty depressing scenery but at least there's no wind.
i think that's neat
yeah thats kidna pretty to me
This would be so much better if it didn't reset on non-weakspot hits
Also doesn't even seem to work with heavy chains
what
i mean in comparison between patch 12 and 13+
You need this to get damage from holding charges
I survived the outside. 
Im proud of ya sibling
if you bring any kind of DOT it also resets 
whoever is resposible for giving my psyker this cut is getting servitorised then shot
one of the reasons why I never wear helmets
how do you guys not run out of ammo when playing gunker
i tried it like 5 matches i keep running oom
:<
Which gun you running
Sometimes i think fatshark just hates me....
You have to use assail.
Just dont shoot everything
not all of then are bad, but some really destroy haircuts
Is that sword salvagable?
not really, you probably have something better already
bugger
the colujmnus
is this worth keeping?
4/4 bricked and also poor damage roll
gotcha, eat it for blessing
How to get a better feel of Dueling Sword? Play "Beat Saber" in one-handed mode on Expert or Expert + 🙂
We are Psykers are better with guns than vets and zealots
The hab dreyko special. 11 deaths 💀
hey selfish in war, question on the blaze trauma build
People allergic to doing objectives at end event.
if i wanted to give up warp battery to take kinetic resonance would I be screwing myself or is that a valid sub option?
It's okay if you feel the need for faster bb to take out specials.
It just means your creeping flames won't be spammed as much.
okay, I tend to use bb for bosses too so it was more to help moderately improve my boss damage
ty for the information
Boss should not be a problem when it's more than 2 people alive.
Unless horde + specials spawn during boss.
time for hadron to brick it

ugh only 700 plasteels
no. no brick. you WILL get a godroll

i love disappointment i love the crafting system kicking my ass!!!!!!

oh nothing wrong it's pretty good
but the stats aren't maxed and it's using warp flurry 3 so
you got sprint stam on it just put run n gun and do lmb meta
if I ever see something better, might as well gamble
Okay that's shit.

missing some points here and there
I pick up the grims then teammates all die and I am left to do some sus clutch.
Much chill. 
who the fuck plays damnation with gear like this
based
Fire Trauma staff is Blazing Soul and the other one right?
uhhh nexus?
Blazing Soul for the fire, and uh... Nexus for crit?

i'm experimenting in psykanium with empowered smite, seems to not increase damage? a LMB single attack does 23 on flak armord with or without Empowered Psionics charge utilized. What am i doing wrong?
Do you have any tricks to do the "Warp battery" penance? Its the one where u need to keep max warp charge for 300s
what made fatshark decide this was a smart decision
wait hold on hasnt that always been there
did they change this recently ?
oh this has always been there
yeah we go all the way in left tree, i forgot its a separate buff of warp siph
Ive done a few builds where i could only afford to go to the damage per charge perk, it worked, not amazing, not totally ass
whats with people who aggro the dh, die, and rage quit?
I wish I could block people like that
They're bots
You can via social tab.
Had one this morning myself
What kills me is not all the time does an aggrod DH = wipe, I've aggrod plenty with a thammer user on my team who just yeets it away
Block via social tap ... is not working really. You just "virtually block" other players by low chance of meeting them again
i might start doing that anyway
Killed 2 elites in meatgrinder and the default scoreboard already show 1k more damage than ovenproof. 
for some reason I had a game today that showed more damage with ovenproof, though barely
Wooo that's extremely rare. 👀
I guess it's some boss damage thing
So all of my 800k+ damage with ovenproof I reckon would be close or over 1m with normal scoreboard.
I'll turn on default scoreboard damage for the clout. 
with trauma maybe, though if you aren't full charging vs hordes it's probably not that big a difference
With zealot and surge too.
woo found a helmet that can replace that awful '
hood' that doesnt even fall properly
it interlocks perfectly with the armor
No demonic voice. 
yeah empowered doesn't increase smite lmb damage but eats the charge, not that it really matters
why are you using smite lmb anyways
I'm not
I wish I could remove the mask on the VR headset you get for doing all the pennances
My man has a mighty beard and I want to show it
maybe if it didn't eat the charge there could be some marginal scenarios if you are running EP and don't want to waste the charge
the charges aren't that hard to come by
to be honest
but EP isn't for smite anymore imo
RIP free smite days
Looks like surge/smite damage variance is 75%-125%, don't think I've seen that mentioned anywhere
Fellas with the tinfoil hat
What do y'all think we're getting with TC part 2?
Personally i believe my beloved, the Force Greatsword is coming
wake me up when force duelling sword drop
Isn't that just the Deimos?
nah deimos have shit dodge
Don't force swords have max dodges?
no
They do
I think maybe he meant dodge distance?
It's still good
In no world does deimos have a shit dodge
you would see unironically at max mobility force sword have longer dodge distance
Yung blud really thought he could gaslight us into thinking a force sword has worse dodge than the dueling sword
the dueling sword only has faster sprint speed
read mk v dodge stat and come back
Also, conspiracy theory about the folding shovel. Maybe the foldable part means it flips open into a 2 handed weapon with higher stagger/damage but lower attack speed?
Mk IV for life.
yeah the mk5 dueling sword would have the highest defensive stat
We stabby in this household.
Isn't that the one with a weirdass moveset
Chief, if you're gonna run the MK V.
Just run a knife.
Has a less goofy moveset.
And even then that doesn't mean the deimos has a bad dodge
not these cringelord every duelling sword outside of iv is bad
Ok mr MK V is good
Nobody said it was bad
I said it has a weird moveset
Somebody else said mk4 for life
And another just said it has good defensive stats for worse offense
It's worse than the other dueling swords
doesnt have the armor penetrate of mk4
But it's not unusable
it has those narrow strikedown attacks
you really might as well run knife if you use mk5
knife dont kill crusher in 4 heavy
Knife unironically has strong defense and a moveset less convoluted than the entire Metal Gear Solid series lore.
sure you need 1 more heavy than mk iv to kill but it still kills
what kind of knife have you been using lol
You're right, it 3 taps instead
Knife against crusher is insanely useful lol
Have you heard of Uncanny Strike?
Have you heard of how ugly you are?
i think he's trolling
Have you heard your father say he's proud of you? Of course you haven't.
Man has no intention of debating
he's right, we should wake him up when they drop force sword
because then we won't have to be bothered by him forever
Yes
Ofc I dont, I dont spend energy on “debate” on best weapons lmao
BRAIN BURST HIS BALLS
whoever like whichever weapon they use, they do them
You said deimos had shit dodge
We said it doesnt
Then you strawman some wack argument
good for them if they like “not best” weapons, I dont mind
Non euclidean conversation istg
nah it’s factual knife and mk 5 sword has better dodges
then ofc I have to hear cunts like the one above talk about how mk v is bad like that isnt true
But one of them has the Emperor's wackiest moveset.
In your words
in my words.
Unironically gets outperformed by a knife which proves that Catachan Jungle Fighters are stronger than Maccabian Janissaries.
yup shit dodge compared to mk 5 or knife, you can feel it
non bitches?
Compared to knife everything has worse damage.
type english
dodge*
Non-Euclidian is an english word you non-bone'eaded ogryn.
anyhow you all have a good day
no thanks to you
That man truly does epitomize what i think every Smite psyker sounds like.
yw cunts
is it news that I Deimos IV sword Heavy 2 attack can stagger crushers, ragers and even mutants heavily?
Definitely has the same IQ as a smite psyker lmao
Yes
the stab heavy stagger everything
Heavy 2 on headshot sends crushers on their ass
It's comical
Standing to straight prone
By Smite Psyker, i mean those idiots that just hold down smite at a horde and then get grabbed by a mutie because they're standing perfectly still.
In a game where having higher damage is objectively better than having lower damage, why would you take the stance that the lower damage dueling swords with the worse attack patterns are anything but worse than the MK IV
it's not like they're faster or have better dodges
you’re the sort of tard that take pride in dissing people for not using meta weapons in a discord server
check your flag
it can stagger the mutant a bit. if I heavy 2 the head
life can be beautiful
so literally you can stop a mutant from running
MK V isn't non meta though.
It's the opposite of meta.
It's the least efficient tactic available.
If you deimos H2 a mutant, they die
so
I could take you seriously, but you are such an idiot that it's hard to give you further attention than this
yeah often they die
sure they stop running
but when they dont, they get staggered
are there other melees that can stagger the mutant?
my mans out here running a 42% damage deimos?
you got that from reddit? “I could take you seriously but vv…”
Dueling sword special attacks
there's only war in this man lol
Stops them even during charge
This man only has enemies
I offered peace you keep going
ohh it can stagger muties?
so enjoy war
Not because he's violent he just has the worst takes in existence
if thats your peace you are not very convincing
you have to hit the weak spot to stagger them, which is pretty hard unless the mutant is the only enemy to worry about
either way, not even the non-meta shield can protect you, because all the points you made are all kind of fukin stupid
Yeah
imma try in psykhanium
it’s alright mate, okay to be embarrassed, sometimes when you live on discord for too long you forgot how to speak like a normal human being
It's funny
If you give me the choice between saying the MK V is a good dueling sword and actually living in the 40k universe, i would rather live in Krieg.
you start speaking like “I could take you seriously but”
who the fuck talks like that irl
Cause the heavy stabs one shot mutants either eay
oshit a wild blazing illisi sword user in pub
A lot of people. Clearly you haven't stepped outside for a while.
based
why do i need to talk to you like im talking to someone irl lol
Bro is so based he's neutralizing the strongest acid known to man
seriously buddy
oh for anyone wondering it takes about 6 heavy to kill a crusher with mk5
this is with uncanny
What should be the second blessing on Illsi besides Slaughterer?
Make obscurus good pls fatshark its cool looking
Assuming I don't want Deflector
Man I feel so fragile in damnation. All it takes is like a stripped off toughness by flame and like 2 from poxwalker and I die
It's a shitty middle ground between the illisi and deimos
Uncanny
The special has as long a channel time as deimos with half the damage
I like shred a lot, many people go for the one that gives crits after a special attack I forgor what it’s called
Thats the kicker innit, it only means wipe if people start leaving
Also, man im sad Psyker doesnt get BAG's
bags ?
Braced Autoguns
I'm sad they don't get shotguns
imagine psyker gets its own class of sawed off shotguns
i wouldnt want the braced autogun
What are good blessings for the Illisi??
slotoror
I was never really satisfied with the zealot shotguns, they don’t really Sound that powerful to use
They're good, but you really gotta spec for them
Only 50k more damage with surge 
I have a god rolled shotgun and it’s great, I just wish its sound effects were more meaty
I see people trying to leave when they get downed then rejoin
Lame people
holy shit that rebreather I bought makes me sound like Nurgle himself
stop cheesing
Yeah.. that DC yourself + rejoin mod needs to be shut-down
How the Hel do you know what Nurgle sounds like
Not sure how FS could combat it tho
he's my dad
wait
no I mean does it work?
we do have a braced autogun for psyker
they can't combat it
we do have a braced autogun
because people who get dc'd due to things that are really out of their controls need it
I think it’s more of the issue that people shouldn’t be automatically alive when they join, + a dead teammate shouldn’t be replaced by an alive bot
Yeah basically
Short of them saying if we catch you doing it we'll ban you, but then people would just pull out thier plug or DC thier wifi instead
its quicker if you have 2 sorts of wifi and you switch between
Careful, basically hinting that you're one of those that abuse it talkin like that
theres a thing like it in FF14
That doesnt mean it should be something you try actively to leverage
If you die, you die, take your L
I was sad seeing it
i know someone who wouldnt be sad seeing it
sorry was in game. so when you get downed but not like die, and you leave and rejoin. do you still live?
I seem them doing it like last night
really ?
yeah someone did that in my team last night
those who left in my game usually get replaced
and when my wifi lag around, i come back still dead
we just got a bot until it replaced. it looks like they bypass the death system by trying to rejoin when downed
i see
I think. but havent tried it myself
Going down, rejoining I think gets you back up. Dieing will still make you dead
yeah so they do it before the actual death
It's a silly thing. Now it's making it harder to discern who left out of problems with the game and people who think they don't deserve to go down
does disrupt destiny synergize with surge staff in any way?
Is there a difference between leaving and attempting to rejoin—and negating your death—and leaving to give your team the possibility of a new teammate who can possibly clutch revives?
DD works with whatever weapon you are using
Disrupt destiny just keeps breaking in the middle of matches and still hasnt been fixed.
do surge staff attack weakspots on the secondary charge
I dont know. I dont use surge staffs
brb gonna krill myself

I need to know what this ogryn yesterday was using. I just know he was using hail of fire and an MG that burned down bosses like it was no ones business
yes, but I don't think there's any extra damage
it does proc true aim though
actually does, getting procs from true aim
aye can cfm
interesting, now to test in a real game
with DD
Well there you go. I just prefer using .556 magic. ||I dont know what caliber autoguns are using||
Weakspot does do extra damage on surge right click.
However a surge crit is never a weakspot.
i've been gun psyker for a month looking to shake things up
more of a laspis enjoyer tho
Achlys stubber with the fire gun lugger talent probably.
I cant go back. voidstrike while it hits hard. It has travel time. Surge is doing too much to do damage. Purge i might do just cause, and trauma gives me head trauma
Probably. I thought i had setup a gunlugger like that before. It could have been like peanut butter and jelly finally coming together to have a duo just tear a maelstrom apart at 2 in the morning
hah, i get it, when i hop on the gunker train I wanted to abandon staffs forever, i used to like voidstrike but it is too slow for me now
Even took a daemonhost out in seconds
Did you guys know you can swap between BB modes mid-channel?
Think someone said something about this before
super handy
So... polite gunkers exist right?
I can't do gunker seriously because I don't have the patience to kill things one at a time
who says you have to kill things one at a time
the spray guns you just aim at the general direction and shoot lol
Like I know logically they must exist.
revolver will shoot like 3 dudes at a time
but every gunker i've had
also that yea
when you have sciers and DD stacks. you become a laser
so you dont stay on one target for very long
god I love revolver on specialist packs, dumb as shit that it just takes out everyone in three shots
3? Wow. I can evaporate rooms with trauma blaze. I can nuke entire hallways of maulers with voidsurge
3 is chump change
just getting tired of being in games with gunkers and getting cussed the whole game
But can you do it in less shots AND time as a revlover can?
I do despise playing as a gun psyker, but trauma is much slower at killing specific things
yes
I took out 9 maulers with one void blast just last night
including the gunners and a flamer behind them
Why the smol autogun always crits?
as well as any groaners/walkers in between
I do not believe that you killed 11 elites in a single voidstrike shot
it was on the bridge leading up to the last elevator in the assassination mission
If it was shotgunners, id believe it
i had true aim and surgestrike
full charge
right down the middle
everything died
alot of modifiers put a ton of elites in one spot
ive seen like 25 elites die at once in a melee only scab for example
that would have taken at least 30 seconds as a columnus gunkers
at least
probably more
in histg its very common for ragers and shotgunners to spawn in 8-15 packs
absolutely nothing trumps AoE for me
Rending shockwave 
bruuuuh
getting called the R-word right out the gate
plz
just gimme a decent psyker player for once
precision aiming and watching everything get mowed down is just as satisfying.
I would use voidstrike more if people would quit coming in with plasma, revolvers, surge, or just generally anything that instantly kills everything.
voidstrike is like the weapon that gets the scraps or the full amount
look, if they get to it before me then fair game. Sometimes they do
most times they're devil's clawing a horde too much to listen to the sound cues
but as soon as that sound cue happens, I've got a charged void blast ready for when they come around the corner.
Most of the time though, i outcompete other staff users in terms of damage on specials. Sometimes hordes if i have to put the specials down more during a horde wave
can I ask skilled gunkers
right
how often do you blow themselves up?
because iwas just in a damnation game, p.chill except the gunker went down every 5 mins
Never
never?
What are you blowing up on
why would
he relies on assail too much
yeah
As a gunker
Im not
Hardly ever. Unless its a late night and i swap over to assail and toss a shard out just as i hit 100
I was chillaxing on Ogryn.
But we had a premade of 2 psykers
one of which was using a gun
and he went down i swear every other minutes
I asked him what was up, if he was getting caught by enemies
and he started the tirade
R-word's everywhere
assail’s kinda easy to blow up on before you get used to it
even went "I know i'm wasting my words on you, you ape, but i'm trying something quirky, unlike you who gets all their builds on reddit"
like why would i use reddit? Ogryns have a book bro
some of the gunkers also like to flirt with death assailing while scrier is up
wait, people get builds from reddit?
not sure whats quirky about blowing up
RIGHT?
While at the same time its not. Just that 10% gets you when you are already in high peril and forget
like, i've nothing against the concept of gunker, but every one i've been playing with has been a royal asshole
yea its just like easy to accidentally double toss
because its the only way to take down non-hordes in a reasonable time with it
Colomnus
I do it cause i need to get some extra hits out there but i only toss like 2 or 3 shards for the normal shooters
would I use assail with gunker?
well yeah but if you're getting bullied by the gunlugger about taking ammo, then you default to assail
I use bb only for the random bb
I don't even touch my blitz
I assail weave with guns in scrier sometimes but thats a diff thing from the dudes just spamming it outright lol
the alternative is smite so
i was thinking bb tbh.
You already do so much damage
i dont mind smite for stunning a room tbh
i play with a buddy who knows that lightning means free melee kills
I prefer they die rather than they just stand there and slowly die
Well here's the thing
insane playing psyker and never using a blitz
When the AI director spawns 20 ragers on your head
if i want them to die i just shoot em though
Also shards stuns ragers and maulers too
It becomes really helpful
Do you mean the best way to play surge staff builds?
no?
Another useful thing is assail can be used to quickly raise peril while sliding around for the peril 20% damage buff on GUN
I accept that i'm trash with it, but i still don't understand the use case for crystals
you throw them and they kill or stagger things
Smite does this too, but BB does not
yeah but like, its all about whatchacallit
its a tool for when your melee and your secondary cant do
target prio etc.
shooters in cover, snipers behind cover, horde clear to generate peril while scriers is on CD
I guess, unless you're running illisi or devils claw
im mostly just giga intimidated by all the toxic gunker's ive encountered.
i dont wanna gigasplode like they do
oh I just thought of another way they could explode. Scriers to 100 peril and then las pistol special
You think If you make a gunker build you’ll become toxic suddenly?

?
I think I’ve graduated from scrier to a DD build tho
assail weaving for peril mostly
I also run illisi with my scriers. It comes down to paying attaention to how much peril is being generated. I swear i need an big red alarm on the center of my crosshairs to tell me to cool it on peril sometimes
Las pistol alternate fire generates peril
No I'm just very, VERY self conscious.
wait...
theres a super loud sound when it's time to stop generating peril
ADS on the pistol gens peril? XD
no
No
hey man, i killed a boss doing it so just suck it up and just keep going cause we all trip sometimes
I just call special alternate fire 
I know. but i be at 98 or 99 and i can get another shard out
I'll consider it. I just have big fear.
Honestly gunker isn’t really hard to play and isn’t prone to exploding. Unless you’re used to crutching onto vent
Think of it this way. YOu are doing so much DPS for the team that you just forget. I have seen tru level 500+s still blowing up
that's just bananas to me
like I get the single target dps is good, but single target is just so damn slow
you can do a vent+DD gunker, actually like it better than scrier nowadays
and have the get out of jail free still
while you get used to whatever
really love gunker both ways tho
You can, I think most gunkers use Scrier though just because?
its so fun
When specials get shredded before your voidstrike get there, you'll understand why. Crushers can be different but i also have a melee for them as well.
I was just trying to think of what most gunkers use
eh scrier is really fun, vent+DD is also really fun
my void meets specials as they come around the corner
I play both
The boss DPS is hard to ignore too. While it doesnt get to stunlock bosses, it can pour on the DPS
I mean i need to rip off the bandaid and learn scriers eventually
i'm just one of those folks who is giga intimidated XD
speaaaaking of which
what do i want on the columnus
kinda playing scrier less and less now tho since I think it just doesnt suit how I play that much
Or catachan
even tho its tits up
Learn DD cause it likes to work one match and then have it stop working mid-way through another
Looking something like this
I’ve never had DD stop working lately, just that it marks enemies very far away lol
I'm able to consistently get to 30 stacks
Dumdum is a must but other blessings can be good with it.
The DD not giving stacks bug is really annoying
Luckily haven't experienced it
You sure it's not the target swapping last second?
Cause that sucks
I get the movespeed buff and toughness restoration, just no stack
No it happens frequently
it feels like ~1/4 of the game it happens
so what does the DD mark look like?
and it happens in chunks, so you can just go a whole minute without being able to get a stack
One neat thing about DD is it actually can let you find out where a pack of ranged assholes are hiding sometimes
Like a federal agent
Just enemies outlined in blue
It’s that obvious and lets you see through walls
only the psyker sees em i assume
yes
Yeah the wallhacking is honestly great
useful on power-disrupt missions too
then look up a build
Also yeah I love columnus psyker
Seeing 10 ragers run at your team and then seeing your name pop up 10 times in a second as all the ragers die

yes, I also love voidstrike
I enjoy a good voidstrike
Builds are straight forward so dont need to worry about it
seeing 10 ragers run at your team and your name pop up 10 times in a second as all the ragers die
I too like box
lol was just in a game where all 2 RQ when they died, 2 great players joined and we won, ty leavers
does surge staff have headshots ? Wondering if it is worth taking true aim so i crit more when trying to spam surge staff or if Perfect timing better for me
Don't look down on the staff left clicks
For some unholy reason they buffed the fire rate
By like 3x
And it still has a dumb high suppression value
Nope.
unyielding and infested sucks though
well unyielding might not be too bad, change infested to something useful
You have a damn near perfect surge
unyielding is bad because it does barely any damage against monstrosities anyway
I am guessing i should change Infested to something else ? and change one of the perk to this surge you all talk about ?
yeah
and maybe change warp flurry to warp flurry IV, in prep for when you get surge
Id keep the crit one
surge is top tier
Keep nexus, replace flurry with surge
a full charge weak spot seems to stagger plague ogryns
Replace infested with carapace
i would use carapace at least
You can stunlock chaos spawns
Voidstrike is still goated
don't think it's great against nurgles though
Hmm ok soo start farming VS for surge blessing while changing infested perk to carpace.
If you can't hit the weakspot then not really
it can stagger beasts but its wonky with its movement patterns
very satisfying though
is surge even that? critting doesnt even happen too often even at max chance
true aim is a thing
pair that with the perkl that gives a guaranteed crit after 5 weakpoint hits
and your cooking
also smite proc's true aim
You bowl over literally anything
and gathers things up in a nice little bunch
Bulwarks, crushers
and then void comes in and goes blap
yarp
Left click spam and you instantly suppress any ranged enemies
Like it's comical how well it suppresses
idk if thatl be enough to have me part with BB but ill def try it out
But the charged shot doesnt
does stagger though
what do you need BB for, with void?
purg and smite, sure
purg and surge rather, my b
cant miss brainburst, and with EMP psionics you can double tap a lot of stuff
BB enjoyer
and BFG's
ok so we're just out here admitting that we can't aim actually?
which im told is how void is referred to in the code
put dot on red guy, let fly the void
is this kid trolling? lmao
you said you can't miss BB, implying that you miss voids
oh no
sibling, i... im sorry
barrage and run n gun
implying you have 100% accuracy sniping everything with your staff
classic
hadron shouldn't have done this to you
friends, it's with great pleasure that i wish to show you my hot rod
we like this
At this point i am convinced surge does not exist on void
holy fuck sdurge staff actually kills
left click spam, no I don't have perfect accuracy
i havent used it since beta
my bonking stick
but charged hits? you get time to aim
lies
surge does not exist
photoshop
stop gaslighting me
I thought my 4k plasteel is enough ... it isn't lol
nope
I got the blessing when surge kinda sucked
gotta collect stuff before buffs
hmm
so If I were to run smite, mostly for true aim shenanigans, which keystone should I go for
use to EP but it seems lack luster with smite
try getting power cycler level 4, took me 40k plasteel to get
thats what I was gravitating towards
which is a small flaw
because WS is so damn expensive
I also run shriek flame, which also synergizes well with smite
yeah thats a lot of points
does enfeeble linger on smite
or does it only empower allies
don't augment smite
That's the extra damage one right
yea
Isn't that bugged for only hip fite
yup
Allies only, it ends when you end it.
its bad
Still don't see the point for hip fire smite
Hipfire smite?
lmb
As in left click? Ah
might as well not exist
Instant stun. That's all.
hmm got some serious decisions to make, mettle, soul stealer, or warp battery
can only haave 2
I'm a warp charge enjoyer
LMB on Smite isn't to hold down, it's just to tickle specialists so that they quit their nonsense.
fuck movement speed
I run mettle to perfect timing, soul stealer to perilous combustion into toughness into smite
then peril into psykinetic aura, seers aura, the toughness one based on peril that I can't remember atm
then shriek, to fire shriek, then I get the standard warp rider KD into true aim and then remaining points down the WS tree
drop that smite augment and get another point my guy
Oh yeah that is cursed
perfect timing
wtf is that
probably
