also anyone have any tips
I just try to be polite an say stuff like "no offence man, but i dont think you're ready for this setting"
It's a basic thing to do, you get people that are so used to clearing an area then moving, the hordes come so fast sometimes that's not an option. Have to keep moving or you'll just get bogged down.
Keep not looking at it, you'll give yourself a headache 
dumb quesiton but you going to move into patrol and still need kill horde
why not just kill horde firtst
That's how I normally am, but man, sometimes you just have to wonder what decisions that person made in their life to lead them to think they belonged in damnnation+.
Oh lord
likely they got bored
xD This time I am, Plaugryn knocked me into a DH and then multi crushers rushed us
Best way to get better is to dive into the deep end of the pool imo
XD
It is a bit like that, though i do sympathise with them a bit because the game really does not make it clear how much of a step up it really is
After a certain point, hordes are nothing, your moving from patrol to patrol or elite horde to elite horde, the normal hordes are basically nothing.
But it only works if you take advice and get an idea for what you should be doing b4hand
A fire psy with hateshards op for horde cleaning
An like people say "Yo Auric is much harder" but people are bullheaded an go "oh yeah? I bet its not" then, ofc, they get facerolled
My shard build is shards for ragers/elites and flames for trash
Dueling sword for armored
Some of the builds people bring into AM missions also have no business in AM missions. Please don't bring in your super specialized melee build that get dunked by anything ranged into a pug.
No, i will bring the most ridiculous shit i can think of and you cant stop me 
Play that shit with your friends when you know your weakness is covered.
In all seriousness though, test builds in A.Damn if you're very much an endgame player, an then see if it works in Malestrom, dont go straight into the latter
There's only room for one melee space wizard in the group, and that's me.
I've been playing one of those myself of late, is a lot of fun
im not sure if a dueling sword will be fine with a surge staff, they both seem to do the same job
poke poke poke poke poke
Yes, I noped out of there lol
Purga DoTs an Bleed DoTs, its kinda wack, but challenging and interesting to play
Have to swap every couple seconds tho, so intensive
Gotta being a meme revolver with your dueling sword for max coolness factor.
Then just kill everything with assail.
Ngl, pretty excited to try the new revo on Psyker
Should be pretty decent with Trickshooter given its rapid-fire
The greatness of the revolver is it's one shot capabilities.
finally, true cowboy psyker
New one might have a speedloader if we're lucky tho which would make it have hella high DPS
i hope it has a lot of ammo
We can all live out our Hunt: Showdown fanning dreams.
Its gonna have to, dont wanna have to rely on Survivalist for it to be viable
if my eyes arent playing tricks on me when i was watching the video, pretty sure it does
Stat rerolling for diamantine when.
I didnt notice in the trailer tbh, but if so, excellent
I played with a cracked revolver vet yesterday on auric damn. Glad I didn’t go void…
and with the speedloader, means that reload modifier might be replaced with ammo
Be interesting to find out
Think combat knife and revo are gonna be the most interesting this patch
I don't know why there aren't more revolver vets, that shits busted. Some youtuber probably needs to make a video about it before anyone will pay attention
I'd like to think that people dont listen to the bigger DT youtubers, but thats likely wishful thinking 
The smaller ones have their shit together an deserve way more subs than they have
oh we getting a new combat knife?
speedloader confirmed
rejoice my brethren
lol
Oh nice, hell yeah
but probs gotta empty out your rounds first
its gonna deal 1/5 the damage of the current revolver
i pray it doesnt
gotta unload all 5 shots to deal the same damage of 1 bullet 
well to be honest
its stat gonna be untested
so we will be the first testers
true
i'd say if they lower its dmg to 3/5 of the current revolver, i'd say its golden
or too high
unless it doesnt have its reload modifier set to ammo
Youtuber with fancy thumbnails and sub par gameplays whom only play with a squad. They also make these crazy 'names' for their builds. 
I doubt it'll be that drastic
It'll deffo be lower per-shot, but not a fifth of the damage
They should instead give their videos titles such as “look at this terrible performance, FS better buff blaze trauma” 
Yes pls blaze trauma buff.
I like chocob cos he seems to only play solo.
Some of his builds are definitely goofy though.
Telepot is a good player but he only plays with premade. 
Its dudes like Asian Robot an Claythetics which get on my tits
never heard of them
My favorite is Jay-Brodi
Couldnt give a fuck if people play with premades, but i do start to give a fuck when they start spreading disinformation/have no idea what they're talking about
Day 10 of farming for blaze trauma. No end in sight. 
I know who you're referring to. I got recommendation on my feed although their builds are some weird stuff indeed.
They're just gibberish honestly
Its a shame because both of them have rather large followings
An people wonder why reddit an steam are full of such drivel
One of them is like weakspot damage simp innit?
It's bad play rending shockwave instead. 
Pass, i watched like one of both thier videos and was like "yeah this guy is just talking shit" and moved on
But muh pretty fire memes 
(Said by someone who has nexus and rending 4 available)
Back when darktide first released, Asian Robot dubbed himself "the king of psykers" or some shit 
Thank god
Is he stronger than top 1% god psyker? 
weakspot dmg is overrated in most cases ngl
Idk I can't stand his content
especially with how weakspot dmg actually works
Lemme check his psyker gameplay.
still dk why they'd make it work like that
Dude has such a smug/cocky asshole vibe that I never make it past the build showcase in the psykhanium
Enjoy the cringe-fest you're about to experience
Sounds about right 
Comedy
Please tell me he attempts to use it for horde clear
Bro missed the part where infinite smite was removed

Smite has 15m range by default and the "max jumps" node buffs it to 16m. It does also increase the max jumps from 4 to 5 (or something like that). In testing the +1 jump makes a bigger difference than just one additional enemy but it's hard to notice the difference in actual gameplay due to the forking rules
I run with shriek siphon and smite, dueling sword and surge tho I'm gonna go back to knife
sure he wasnt abusing the bug where smite EP is applied to surge?
Oh maybe he is doing that
shriek EP smite or shriek siphon, think both are fine, the former is faster at horde clear and easier to reach its maximum potential, the latter requires sometime to actually bring out its full value
tho i dont really run smite anymore
He doesn't have actual gameplay so I dunno how he uses his smite. But for my own case I don't use smite that much so warp charges offer much more for me with the ability to spam creeping flames much more frequently.
i still hate the fact that u're forced to lose warp charges when using abilities
that shxt was optional back then
Illisi Surge Smite maelstrom clutch 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G4_cXz19XM
My main use for it is the control
then ofc u'd opt for siphon
lately i've been more liberal with the shrieks even when using siphon
Same
I always shriek
The soul blaze is how you clear out all the trash without quelling
yea, its just, like, MY FKING CHARGES MAN
feel that 100%
why is there another Lion El'Jonson at strike team 10
Cool character
u two gotta battle to the death
I got the 4% on any kill for a charge
yea, same here
The charges help but I don't play around them
They just help delay my peril generation
Shriek more often
He saw the light of blaze trauma 
yea rending shockwave is more of a supportive blessing
it helps more with teammates with guns or blades
not psykers with staves
u do u 
fr
Pure support mostly
If someone is down I won't go out of my way to try to ress them and potentially risk dying myself.
Safer to clutch it through and rescue at the spawn point for me.
I will if its safe
I usually peel for the rez instead
Yeah if it's completely safe but I won't drop everything to attempt to ress.
one things I cant stand tho if I get damage for something that wasn't meant for me 
If i go myself ill take a bunch of dmg cuz scuffed teammates and ruin my score xd
I’d be rich if I had a dime for every person left on the ground while the whole screen is smited.
Gotta give direct
🥲
I've found saying 'hey pick them up I've got everything leashed' works
Otherwise everyone tunnels for kills
However when people get netted or dogged im always the firdt to help
Tru, big red downed symbol and lighting filling the screen isn’t enough.
decent staff, shxt rolls
Atleast you can just sprint in, unnet and then dash out easily with DS
Oh yeah netted or dogged I help quickly cos those are easy.
Tell that to everyone else tho
when they are netted after charging in alone however..
Tbf trappers are super spooky these days.
Mfw i get picked up while in fire
You can't hear them most of the time.
I always panic dodge
u can hear when they shoot
Right in the net lmao
and i basically develop a reflex that makes me dodge whenever i hear them prepare to shoot their net
^
100% requirement for a smite psyker
Got that fuckin blind zone behind you and nobody ever covers u from the specials
Literally required for everyone
I'm quite proud of this one despite the end. The first clip was pretty good clutch tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ybSD2PUXNQ
Testing funny heavy sword crit build but teammates were pretty sus.
i still remember when i abused infinite smite psyker for the first time
just literally permanently crabwalking all the time to keep smite up
It was funny but it got old
I definitely fucked with it but I felt awkward doing it lol
im just gonna speak my mind, even tho im not there, but im fairly sure u have quite some time to just nail that chaos in the back with your columnus
and that might've prevented everyone from going down in the first place
Hrm I was dealing with the specials.
yea i do notice
but what i meant was instead of hitting that chaos with your sword, using up your ammo might've been wiser
but idk, im not there, so just take whatever i say with a grain of salt, or just dont take it at all
Aye I don't like to waste ammo. It felt safe for 1s but then suddenly they all go down.
pretty god tier gameplay nonetheless
personally i'd dump clips on bosses
I'm trying to 100% this game but it's gonna take so long 😩
I never do unless it's a range weapon design for boss killing like adhesive rumbler or burn gunlugger stuff.
Ammo saving 
so u dont have raking fire dumdum is what u're saying
or u just dont think columnus is a weapon designed for boss killing?
I don't use raking fire.
gotcha
I thought Colum was for elites
it is pretty conditional
as a gun psyker i find it to be a pretty good boss killer
thumbnail looks like a fnaf jumpscare
but that's probably cuz psykers dont have better source of boss dmg
columnus is probs the fastest boss killing weapon for psykers
surge is an ok source of boss damage now 
That bleed/purga build i was talking about earlier isnt bad actually
after the changes or during the time EP was applicable to it, yes
Certainly good enough
i assume u use knife for bleed?
You can always bring combat knife as melee weapon for monster damage.
Yessir
But muh illisi 
DoT stack build
knife lets you become a hoverboard whenever you slide dodge though...
yea i've seen what double dot can do vs crushers
sounding like trick2g rn if u even know this LoL player
problem with knife for me is that i dont have a good pc, frames can get fked up, so knife will be hard to use
I dont know a damn thing about LoL other than the playerbase is awfully toxic
awyeah
100%
and the devs are making shxtty changes as we speak
Aye thats fair, a consistent framerate is gonna effect it somewhat
yea plus the fact that its range is short af
both combined, u got a combo for missing vital points with the knife
Ye, easy to circumvent that with purga tho, spray LMB at stuff, stagger it, gives you the room to shank it a few times, rinse an repeat
I'd psyknife any actual good for damage?
I just use it for mobility
unironically yeah
Moment before disaster.
Columnus boss damage is wild if you are running some of the right hand skills
Really? What kinda blessings/perks should I be looking for?
that's what i run
definitely lacerate/flesh tearer
i use uh
I have a shitty 460 knife because I'd just use it to get somewhere fast
maniacs and unarmoured (cuz i had no choice on unarmoured)
I was on zealot. 
lacerate's kinda annoying cuz u cant hit weakspot to proc it
yeah
well i'm like its w/e
i won't hit weakspot all the time anyway
and it's nice on hordes
yea, zealot has many better options for boss dmg anyway
I was testing a build and I got the most sus teammates.
The Chaos spawn seeing my 5 martystack thunder hammer zealot shroudfield behind him
they all got cornered in fire and fell down edge
On my regular stealth loner martyrdom antax I am 100% confident I could have clutched the end.
very shxtty positioning
that does look disgusting
I can one shot any boss or DH from 100% with some Marty stacks
a hammer fitting of your name
this is my knoife, it 3 hits ragers on weakpoint with 6 warp siphons lol
personally, i'd never use knife for ragers
regardless of how strong it is
unless i can oneshot or stagger them with the weapon, i'd never use it vs ragers
fk ragers
oh yea right, u have punch heavy stab with knife right?
A single ranger is never the worry
does the punch stagger ragers?
887 dps on crushers with knife and 1200-1800 dps on ragers if I crit once
It's when theres like 7 that it's an issue
That's what kills my zealot the most and why ai like smite so much
it's just an emergency tool
That's when I'm like team..?? 
Hab dreyko end event when the ragers gang drop on yo ass 
so if i buy this for the uncany strike 4, can i use it on deimos and illisi?
yes
do it
why did you eat your crop
its worth it
Does that happen?
I can't swap out deflector and slaughterer on mine. It's safe and good damage.
Except with a claw, then it's payback time.
cuz i main ogryn
understandable
Yeah end event of hab dreyko is super crazy in high intensity and above.
personally i wouldnt judge him by his level
That's me
10 ragers will randomly appear from one of those tiny tunnel.
With the 250 hab dreykos finished frame
oh
Had a recent game where I played like ass on my gunker, died twice but when I was up I was at least spitting out all the dmg at over 800k
hab deyko worst map change my mind
Those ragers at the end are why I started maining smite psyker
I'm like 126 now
I like when pistol starts critting back to back and everything that isnt a mauler just dies
im 300+, idk cuz i dont have mods
I split up my time between all my characters so I'm not as high as I could be
but everything else i have is less than 100
since the nerf of deflector i never use it , i go full dmg
what did they nerf bout deflector
My zel and psy are both 125 my vet and ogryn are both like 60
you was able to block bullets when rescuing downed mate
I'm gonna 100% this game mark my words
ah i see
i think some people take this game waaay too seriously :v
that is quite the nerf
I have 100% zealot, 60 missions from 100% psyker, ogr and vet next
i assume u're either fortune or smite
the main use of deflector to me was going melee brr brr slide again gunners and clutching hard rez
melee is like <10% of my total damage, another dmg blessing isn't doing much
halfway the match that guy just stood one area
well, idk what happened so i cant say shxt
I mostly use my illisi for horde clear and with slaughterer alone I can munch through horde easily.
Imo
he was playing ogryn :[
Uncanny won't help kill the trash mobs any faster for me.
i love ogryn but ogryn is uh i feel the easiest class
start with taunt ogryn with shield
How can you hate the big man?
easier way to play him
Bull butcher with the middle keystone I find is the easiest. Sit in horde, LMB spam, I'm fucking invincible!
does finesse do anythingf for the trauma staff?
also i wouldnt call psykers the OP class as they are severely lacking when it comes to boss dmg compare to what other classes can do in that department, i will say however, they are the one size fits all class
with some of the most versatile builds
wouldnt one size fits all be more of zealot since psyker has pretty paper toughness
Yeah that's my best build with him
100%
you can litteraly be the first dps on bosses by far..... with autogun
Yeah you have to be a gun psyker to really pound on bosses
I agree w that
I would say shout veteran is pretty much the 1 size fits all. Really can't go wrong any mission with a shout vet
that's the main problem, u have to go autogun, and u miss out on many of your other aspects if u go autogun
I feel like vet is the hardest to play now
Whut
gun psykers are probably the most limiting build in my opinion
Like shout is the easiest thing ever
Yeah I don't f with it
especially autogun psykers
if u bring a voidstrike, u can kill elites, range and hordeclear
even the brainburst do very decent dmg, if you take the brainburst buff when using F you can easily do 10-15 k dmg pretty quickly
why bring gun psyker where u need to switch constantly to fit the situation
So can the gunker
what is gunker
Psyker has boss damage if you build for it. Gunker, surge, ect... all do solid boss damage
Is smite peril generation/quelling affected by my staff? or is it only affected by talent tree?
Talent tree
not as solid as other classes
Agreed
other classes who choose to specialize in boss dmg way surpass psykers
Surge is probably the best weapon against BoNs
Zealots can literally one tap them
I love doing it
If they fuck up my one shot build again I'll kms
u use autogun for elites, assail for horde clear, dueling for crushers, then what do u do vs all 3?
bring a voidstrike and u can do all 3
Voidstrike does all 3 much slower
The TTK on guns and TTK on Voidstrike is night and day
Better to have the ability to do all 3 at once than not
I've killed 3-5 elites in 1 mag in the time it took you to fire 1 void
The only times I'll get outpaced in boss dmg on my gun psyker is when the gorgon ogryn gets to blaze away freely.
Or thunderhammer zealots
That too
It is satisfying seeing the thammer zealots deleting the weakened monstronsities
But laspistol or columnus Psyker can easily out boss most builds
Monstrosity appears, pistol psyker stops time and magdumps laspistol 6 times into boss head, time resumes
I just need a better laspistol.
being immune to ranged attacks while mag dumping helps
Seriously, with full buffs it's silly how fast you can turn ammo into headcrits lol
Love me a laspistol
Had a random watching my screen when he was dead confused how I was living against 5 gunners shooting me in a hall
i fukin love excavator
Its risky if they start firing before you get a hit in cause damage
But empathic evasion ftw
Wonder what that new laspistol variant is gonna be
Same
Honestly i expect either something like a hellgun variant of sorts where it's straight up full auto, or the opposite where it's slower firing with higher damage
Brunt keeps giving me 370+ staves and refuses to give me 370+ guns
The fanning revolver may be exciting for smite gunker perhaps
Would be cool if it had something like a charged shot for alt fire instead of the push
He gave me a 367 columnus with dmg as it's dump stat
Found a gray pistol with 80% dmg and great stability, will see if it beats current
Honestly i feel like it's gonna help Psyker fill the niche of close range damage
Give the push soul blaze fatshark. I don't need it or think it would all that good, I think it'd just be neat
And the normal ones
Ok so considering that we also have a foldable sapper shovel and not just a latrine one, i feel like the gimmick of the new weapon marks might be alt modes
So maybe the laspistol has something like that?
Honestly i'm just hoping they also gave something for Psyker beyond the universal stuff since they didn't really show it in the trailer and if they did, i didn't catch it
gonna try and run triple revive speed on my curios

I feel like I'm always the one reviving when i have knife because I get there the fastest
I got really lucky w my vet
Didn't have to grind very long
Tbf KD Psyker with giga revive speed is great
Kinetic Deflection
This sounds fat
yeah that sounds ogryn phat
i don't run KD, so far I only really get fucked if there's fire shit everywhere when i try to rez lol
It's great to res a teammate in the middle of actual Warp-tier chaos bullshit knowing full well nothing can stop me
Just try to break my block you silly little moebian rager, see where that gets you.
i could try KD if I see soulstealer doesn't help me too much 
Me whenever any mini boss starts looking at me funny. "Ill just hide behind my immovable object of a melee weapon until you get bored and then ill get back to tickling your ass hairs with my unlimited power!"
Honestly it's hilarious how force swords can be the biggest troll weapons in terms of how hard they can counter some enemies
Deflector FS with KD? Gunners rage and seethe at the mere thought of you.
And the regular push attack can knock anything short of a bulwark directly on it's ass, including Crushers and Ragers already in their combo
IMO psyker CAN have way too much defense in certain situtations while in some other situtations i just fucking explode
You know you made it as a Psyker when the only thing that gets you killed is your own arrogance with peril management
Usually tunnel visioning trying to CC 3/4 of the map and i either blow myself up or get a group of 20 stealth ragers sneaking up behind me
psykers edging and psykers when they hit 100% accidentally
Me before talent tree rework literally edging myself at 99% peril for the sweet sweet damage bonus
I freely edge my peril because shriek 😏
(I don't have talent points to grab warp rider anymore)
I want to go back to abusing shriek but shield too stronk
ye it's hard to justify not taking warp ride
gazing time
Honestly i only miss Shriek when i hit that peril kablooie
Assail + Gaze sounds like explosion bait
i prefer to call it tactical knockdown 
Can work if you go the way of EP
you dont need EP
it will do just fine
its not like gaze run up so fast that you accidentally blow up while assailing
assail only give 10% each time
I do this without gaze
Surge + Gaze = Explosion Bait
Yeah, though it helps to keep Gaze going longer assuming you're not running the DD gambling perk to keep it going
it's my 8 wounds build guys
I get bloodlusted with my tiny shard friends

blaze trauma + gaze
And forgot not to explode myself
honestly maybe i should run a wound curio and go stamina on my combat knife 
this is the worst build in psyker history, i'm making some weird ass medieval era onion soup
Gaze and knife actually work pretty well
You are not required to use them at the same time
Yeah but it works pretty well
I say this as someone who was a gazeknife psyker for a while
I got an illisi with quelling on weak spot hit. Kinda nutty how long you stay in scriers cleaving a horde
It would be pog
Oh god the speedrunner zealots
they could go the ogryn knives route
full stabby light attack like orgyn cleaver
I think I've found my foreverstaff
stabs self
not when there's chaff between, and my void would've anihilated all the chaff with elites
Someone hasn't used a columnus
no matter what, u cant convince me u can do all 3 as fast as voidstrike
charge rate low
jokes on u, i have columnus
Ngl it would be cool to have a new Zealot weapon at some point like a flagellant flail or smth
its only a matter of time till u run outta bullets too
Again the time it took you to charge it, the thing is already dead
martyrdom zealot special
and what about the other things?
Smth like special attack damages your health but gives you toughness overcharge
Would probably make Martyrdom Zealot actually work
theyll never add that
u think u gonna get rid of them all faster than voidstrike when in an auric damnation?
absolutely
LET ME MAKE MY ZEALOT INTO AN ARCO FLAGELLANT FATSHARK
Other things die in a mag as well
i'll bet 100 bucks against that
only time u'll look better is when its not a horde

If you are playing with other good players, most things are dead before you can even fire the voidstrike
other good players?
u mean someone with plasma specifically?
Or a revolver, surge staff, columnus, ect...
i'd like to see how they outrange a voidstrike if they're using melees
a revolver, surge, and columnus isnt gonna kill "most" things before a voidstrike
especially when im refering to hordes
not just regular hordes, hordes of elites with tons of chaff
this aint no slow game
its a fast pace game that requires u to kill shxt fast especially in the higher difficulties
kill shxt as in kill loads of shxt, not just a few elites
u can stick to shooting people that are standing still and unaggroed yet if that's what u think is "pro" gameplay, but pls i hope i dont ever run into u when im running with randos in high difficulty

revolver kill faster than voidstrike
revolver kills a horde of elites and chaffs faster than voidstrike?
no they single enemy out and kill them faster than voidstrike
yes ik, but im refering to horde
u aint using a revolver in a horde
just dual wield knife and voidstrike
cuz that's my arguement when it comes to gun psyker being a limiting build
Yet they are effective. I like my staves. I also like the guns. They both work for different reasons.
this literally started when i argue saying gun psyker is the most limiting build out of all other psyker builds
theyre not limited
they just use the tool differently
youre not gonna clear a mixed horde with them but you can delegate your melee for specific group of enemy in a horde, and your gun for the rest of the priority target
with a staff like voidstrike you can grow into a mix of both of them and thats fine
so basically u understand
but same result with a gunpsyker build, just 2 different approach
Nice
Voidstrike with transfer peril is nuts
I can just spam charged shots into a horde at head level without having to quell
all im gonna say is, if u end up having to clutch, and u get a horde with bulwarks up your ass, only voidstrike can save u
Yea it's nutty. Trying to get a better void and trauma staff. Happy with the surge and purge ones I have
it wont
voidstrike build in my book, is the most effective shxt
yes it will
especially with surge
no it wont
because at that point it doesnt depend on the tool
One clip kills at least 3 elites faster than a Voidstrike can fire a single charge. That is 9 stacks of soulblaze from PC, everything else is dead. Reload or turn around and kill something else.
if it has to be clutching then at that point that depend on the psyker
what, 3 gunners out in the open?
standing still with no chaff in the way?
The revolver penatrates through hordes
Surge is good at clutching. 
how many horde i wonder
Like it will kill 4+ gunners if they are lined up
lets be real, most of the time the only elite u'll be hitting is probs ragers, maulers, bulwarks, or crushers, during a horde
there aint no gunner running into u
shotgunners maybe
they wont but with revolver you can pick them off
because theyre taller
and the revolver penetrate through the horde enough for you to reach them first
Yea like...most elites aren't even blocked by the horde
u pick them off in the backline, then what
what about the frontline
empty all 6 rounds into horde, if you got 6 elite kills good
Ideally they are, better to kill the horde and the elite with the same shot
if you didnt, revolver ocelot shows up and says "skissue"
5 rounds but basically
i delegate them with staff
my blitz will stop me from getting the gunners
my melee will stop me from getting gunners
thats why you take them out in order
Look we get it, you prefer your voidstrike and we think it's good too. The way you stroke your ego with it putting down other play is annoying though.
its almost like you got a certain amount of rounds before having to have DPS downtime reloading
why not empty the chamber
come on youre not that stupid that you dont know how to prioritize targets
i know that i cant afford to prioritize targets when im surrounded is what ik
at this point its not even the gun issue it might become your issue
well
then you should practice it instead of crutching on voidstrike
maybe then you will kill things just as fast as your voidstrike
oh fuhg this psyker chat not vet chat
crutching on voidstrike, so basically voidstrike is stronger then?
why would it be a crutch?
I'm a warp crayon vet
sponsored by crayola
its your crutch because you dont have to think about what to shoot first
you just have to point at everything and use it
IT’S WIZARD TIME, MOTHERFUCKER!
its cuz it can shoot everything in a row, i can prioritize targets even through a horde
idk voidstrike is pretty overrated
Agreed
well it is the meta staff
I take Surge
well yes
and no i dont think you can
because you dont know how to do so without voidstrike
I saw a level 1000+ psyker running knife, surge, and smite, ditched my voidstrike immediately and copied him
nah it carries and the crit means even resistant stuff needs 2 dodges
and pop
that's why its the most effective
it's just too slow. Takes too long to charge and reduces too much move speed while charging
man never back dodge slides
youre just meant to hunker and wait til the director is finished throwing things
it reduces the distance of dodges too
not move
use dueling sword to gain dodge range
you cant use the dueling sword while charging
and if charge speed is an issue i have a blessing that would work great for you
that blessing's overrated but he probably needs it
same conversation as shooting gunner with revolver, killing horde with melee
deimos + purgatus + bb + vent, done
if i hear something great get called overrated one more time
Do you want rampage blessing on a mk iv DS?
great and overrated are 2 different thing
This is the issue. The dodge distance on voidstrike while charing is terrible. Any other ranged weapon not only shoots faster, but doesn't tank movement as bad like Voidstrike
Obviously surge has good points that voidstrike doesn't, and vice versa
Ogryn can recover 25% toughness in 1 heavy attack, how do i make psyker safer to play? just stay away from melee most of the time?
the staffs are made for defensive playing with those movespeed penalties
none of it will matter when u get stuck in a corner
why lie
the gun aint gonna create space for u
Not surge
The right side columnus build runs around with +60% movespeed. Just don't get cornered.
it depends but the electricity staff is CC
that's not always possible, depends on the map, depends on the spawn
not anymore
i dont know where youre pulling damage out of your force staff
used to be cc, now its dmg
oh nice
but two targets only
Voidstrike and surge are two different playstyles, if you try and play one like the other you're going to think it sucks
crusher effective?
3-4 shot to kill crusher
pretty effective, if u build it for them, if not it's still decent, but slower
I for one am a big fan of watching the think I smacked with a bowling ball get knocked on its ass
All those top nodes regen toughness off peril gain, warp kills, crits, and quelling. There's also kinetic deflection on the bottom right. Let's you use peril to block and you will be able to block A LOT in a horde.
that's pretty good
maybe its finally time to try electricity build again
it used to be meta until they killed the cc and damage
that was the only reason purgatos got built for
thats so old already
didn't they just switch that out to smite
thats like
ALSO you can use the block perk to build peril and get more damage out of venting shriek
so long ago already
It's way easier to not get corned when running around with +60% movespeed instead negative movespeed from charging voidstrikes.
just keep using your staff
i just take a purgatus and vent if i go too high, effective if i run out of peril while still fighting a horde ngl
staff psykers moving like a mine clearing vehicle
I will, once I clear some room with venting
0.00011mph
objekt honestly movement isnt an issue with staves
no psyker carrying staff is gonna stay crip walking a whole fight
usually hordes are running TOWARDS you.
@severe folio i really like DS damage but it really throws my target priority out the window
now when i see a gunner taht isn't shooting at me, i think "eh my team can deal with it"
i mean DD*
try not to be so, just kill everything as usual
but if i do then i won't get stacks >.>
thats just your destiny then
ooga
if its a big mixed horde then i won't do that of course
but if its like a new area of the map
It's not an issue, but its still much worse than guns or surge. Being more mobile is almost always good.
Just being able to quickly find angles on specialists is worth a lot
no its not much worse, its 2 different situations that is unreal
purgatus can actually take out ragers in a horde not too bad
tfw the revolver gun psyker runs off on their own and dies for the 5th time that day
can i use perk to gain peril when blocking, then use perk to gain toughness when peril is gained?
also i have a 325 voidstrike staff and it feels like it takes FOREVER to charge to full dude >.>
do you just stay on aim down sight 50% of the time as a gunpsyker ?
honestly, the psyker movespeed is frustrating if youre grouped with non psykers high dif
you have to be able to solo or enjoy dying
you dont, then same goes with staff psyker, you dont stuck in slow and constantly charging for half your game
Yes you have a node that regens toughness off peril gain and with KD you gain peril off blocking
wait then what do i do bossman
Gunker gets up to +60% movespeed from Scirers, DD, and Mettle. Voidstrike isn't doing that.
no that wasnt for you
I think deflector can tank a crusher overhead with the right build
ah
Oh interesting thank you
you know voidstrike can also take DD right
not deflector*
i would like to see that
believe it or not, some people just uh, dont wanna play gunker
excuse me tired
staves are cool
agreed^
this conversation has delve into picking into unrealistic scenario of both weapon type
goud
and the wet slapping sound that pops up after I get 3 headshots with one projectile is too good to pass up
woe upon any horde trying to go through a door
Psykers discovering niche things in their pocket of the discord
its me, your mom
mom is dead
sometimes i like to poke poxwalkers with my staff over and over again
just checking youre winning on darktide honey
cant do that with a columnus
Best blessings besides uncanny strike for maccabian mk IV?
rampage or shred
not the crit chance on dodge one?
no
whys that
too reactive
That would put them at +20% not +60%, but Voidstrike is still worse at picking off DD targets than pretty much anything. Also still has to deal with the big move speed debuff from charging. It's just not a a mobile weapon.
the other two is more proactive
psykers in stem
define reactive in this sense
its not worse in picking off DD
that one is fine too
enemy have to attack you before you get buff
How?
im running into this issue too. You would need assail to deal with DD targets i suppose
because it can penetrate through horde of bruisers
Both precog and riposte are great. You will constantly have it up in auric. Who isn't constantly dodging everything?
you're not supposed to be cooking dick around the map, you're supposed to be hanging out in a good spot and blasting fools
If you try and play voidstrike like gunker you're going to say voidstrike sucks
its okay to say its not your playstyle homie
either way saying you get 60% speed is odd
who said voidstrike cant take scrier and DD
@icy wyvern Do u run DD with voidstrike?
DD is harder warp siphon
why would u run scrier's tho?
If the enemy is mixed in the direction you are shooting, DD is always easy. What if they are behind cover, or just get suppressed before the voidstrike connects?
why not
yes but for the tradeoff of having more points to spend elsewhere
what does gun gonna do in that
disrupt destiny
columnus
enemy in cover
okay ive looked over my talent tree
what does the gun gonna do differently from voidstrike
i run ep so i can do the funny thing to jumping dogs
it allows you to submit to the ammo economy, slightly faster bullet time
not generate peril
a mixed bag for a psyker all in all
why would you generate peril from enemy behind cover
arent we discussing scrier's with voidstrijke?
Me
scrier with gun do the same thing then
we're discussing objekts' very passionate view against the voidstrike
voidstrike, my beloved
not at all at the same rate
you are not slowed down while firing, so just reposition, or use Assail. Voidstrike could also use Assail, but both use the same peril bar
if youre not shooting anything then its the same rate
yes but you will be shooting tho??
then quell, or stop shooting, psyker switch to melee to move anyway
why would you shoot at a covered enemy
again
voidstrike's hitbox easily smacks the top of their heads
unrealistic scenarios
Because you asked how a gun can shoot behind cover
this nitpicking has become very unrealistic
maintain suppression, close gap, advance, kill
why would anyone argue against voidstrike by saying “oh but staff move so slow” ?
pretty standard military tactic
learn the move tech, staff speed are no issue, and you dont run with your staff or your gun out
If your chief worry is being left behind, get better teammates
Because that combined with long charge time are real downsides compared to most ranged weapons
you are a few patch too old
ok but the 50ft gained is worth it
Is maccabian mk iv still okay against hordes with either of those blessings? Cause im consider whether i should use that DS or an illisi for my voidstrike build. I also run shield and smite on this build
And you need to take a night class in english
So we're both being dicks
look, using voidstrike doesnt mean you gonna be moving while charging all the time
or as much time to make it a detrimental
thats not going to happen, not on any staff ever
It means you are going to spend some portion of the game charging, with reduced speed.
We rabid dogs in psyker chat
If your biggest focus is movespeed, sure, don't bring a staff. If you want to run around the map like a nut, go for it.
i mean you can move if you do dodge -> slide constantly
Us more refined players will keep using our staves thanks
discarded
The dodge slides while charging voidstrike are much shorter than normal
again, so what ? you are not going to be slower than anyone that isnt using a staff unless you stuck behind and keep charging for no reason
what is using the socratic method instea d of just having normal convo?
its that
its doing that
You're saying that like you'll need to spam dodge with voidstrike while using its charged attack, completely ignoring the space that it clears in front of you
where are you gonna go when confronted with a horde while using a gun anyway ? youre not going to go anywhere differently than a voidstrike staff carrier
A fully charged voidstrike will knock anything in front of you on its ass
You can stop running and start hosing down
Do you not move around in combat?
if this is actually a problem with your voidstrike
then this is not a voidstrike issue, because literally no one else have this problem
Is maccabian mk iv still okay against hordes with either precog or riposte? Cause im considering whether i should use that DS or an illisi for my voidstrike build. I also run shield and smite on this build. Any tips?
i think the rampage does against horde better
because rampage have a ton of damage buff and you will be shredding into horde with light attacks
Voidstrike's decent enough with hordes that an illisi is kinda overkill. Good in a pinch, but not as useful in itself as a deimos
the question is, do you need that horde clear capability if u run smite?
i can just smite and knock em on the ground tho
its better to kill things when you can than stalling them
the mk4 and the deimos unironically function on the same principle as the voidstrike but for melee
imma go walk my fish now
good against all form of enemies, do well with elite and normal targets
tunnel enemies down into a line
Is this worth running compared to 6 warp charges?
no
Yes
6 warp charges is better
warp charges innate dps
But you should have both
some said the lightning storm dont affect charged smite
those warps you will miss when a crusher or a bulwark resists in a close quarters scenario
i tried to test that but its hard to discern
Not true
have you test it
Warps is best for smite
wouldnt EP better
What talent would u recommend I sacrifice for this build to get 6 warps?
KD
whats the preferred blessings for voidstrikes these days?
Warps lets you smite longer and shriek more
You can probably drop either the toughness regen on quell or warp kill
then lightning storm
but like, can you manage against a plague ogryn or chaos spawn with a duelling sword without running extra stamina?
one from the top end or the surge bonus
Surge/Nexus or Flurry/Nexus
yeah
If gunpsyker is a meme, what's melee psyker?
cheers Kjerad o7
absolutely, you might need to make some callouts
a chad meme
never had stamina perks and i use mk4 on plorgyn just fine
Fuck yes.
Psykers just missing a taunt talent
and u also dont run kinetic deflection for DS 4?
Block effic ftw
KD seem better if you had a force sword with deflector

Blocking is for sissies. Just kill it.
if you are surrounded and sunk knee deep in horde
rampage is more fun because 85% damage
block effic kinetic deflect and deflector, all you need to be the chad
what surge bonus do u mean?
he means one of those toughness talent
The real secret to success is wildfire.
im old and dont know the words but your RB electricity bonus talent
Is Warp Rupture fine or is Creeping Flames better since it can stack with Wildfire
creeping flame better
what does RB stand for?
Creeping flamesssssss
but it doesnt stack with wildfire
right bumper
or rather
Because 100-200 damage sounds low
wildfire doesnt stack with it
it is
idk dog i just push buttons and hope the pysker works
Wildfire > all
lore accurate
Why wouldn't it stack?
wildfire cap at 4
Both are Soulblaze
no it doesnt
The electricity spell, not the staff, whatever bonus talent that is cut it
wildfire cap at 4
Wildfire is about spreading fire isn't it?
that sounds wrong
so everything with 6 stacks die leaves nothing to the next one
it spreads not in the same way it is listed
This extra skill?
it spread up to 4 to other enemies, but this doesnt mean each enemies gonna receive 4 stacks
yes, it's that or a top end of the tree toughness perk
whats the dump stat on void stafsf
This was patched it no longer works with surge staff
yes that skill
top end stinky toughness talent better to cut but im just giving options
im not talking about surge staff
its misleading description
remind me what tf a dump stat is
The one you don't need
oh
.
A dump stat is just the useless one so you can have it at the lowest
Like in Fallout, Charisma is a dump stat since Speech is a seperate skill
So have low Charisma since it doesn't matter except in Fallout 2
never take wildfire if you think it spread 4 stacks to each enemies around the dead target
elaborate pls... hahah
which one does he mean
it doesnt do so, it spread up to 4 stacks, so essen up to 4 enemies is spreaded to, each enemy receive 1 stack
That is bizarre
if there are only 2 enemy, each receive 2
I'm not English but that description is weird
if there are only 1 enemy, that enemy receive 4
if there are only 1 enemy but that enemy already has 3 soulblaze, that enemy only receive 1 stack
So Perilious Combustion is the same but 3?
no, perilous is better
Kill an elite and 3 enemies max are affected
because perilous do not have a cap of soulblaze
It's probably quietude
looking at your pics
every elite dead add 3 stacks without cap
each enemies actually receive 3
and they go up to 31
isnt tougness for quelling peril really nice tho when ur in a pickle to fast get it back?
turn more glassy
keep in mind 6 stacks is all needed to kill poxwalkers
it's a risk
so 2 elite dead around a horde means that horde is gone
Right so Perilious Combustion works as you think it does and Wildfire doesn't, got it
what is this
i run purg
and deimos
i think its kinda bad
theres a peril quelling button
dont pick wildfire, pick psykinetic aura
i dont need the game to do that
i know thats exactly what im saying
and toughness from coherency and bubble?
you can spam bubble with your current spec
every 20 seconds
so youre good
i use that extra skill a lot, i can single out a lot of elites in a crowd
fair enough. I often just dont wanna spam bubble cause i wanna keep my warp charges
