you don't wanna know
bruh lol
are you misplacing your faith in the Emperor?
damn i thought u guys can forward stuff x)
Report it in the Fatshark forums, they read every single complaint there
yes
its usually how they get hotfixes out so fast
how are you a warden and a convict at the same time? this is heretical
rip smite random headshot hits it was cool for synergy with true aim
Stand in the fire; the Emperor grows stronger
mods, fill his stocking with coal
holy smokes, the green fog for when the twins leave lingers for days
which sucks when its in a tight hallway you need to pass thru
good thing I brought cards
fire still deals stagger ye, which you can offset by just dodging or dodge sliding out of the aoe
just played a purgatus game with another purger, i now needed to rest 20min because i have to restore my eyesight and calm down
Protip and I never considered dodging in the fire
lol. Worth it? i mean warp res is dump stat, right? and you want high peril for warp rider dmg
Fixed issue where switching from Charged ‘Brain Burst’ to Locked ‘Brain Burst’ when affected by ‘Kinetic Resonance’ would cause the charge time to reset. YESSSSS WOW didn't realize it was a bug and they finally fixed it
Oh yeah didn't see that. I had noticed that something fucky was happening with BB. I'm still probably just gonna do assail + revolver as BB doesn't do enough damage imo, but that's good to know.
Do you want as a low warp res as possible on force sword? i mean higher peril faster is just a no brainer for higher dmg, right?
it can be meh
but depend on how often you gonna use the special
Hope you get agood perk and blessing for purple and legendary xd
maybe itll get a useful perk next consecrate
I'll make it purple right now
Technically not bricked. Keep going
Is it bricked now?
carapace aint too bad, there's worse
Yea
entirely depends which blessing you get next
Should I make it gold now?
go for it
wn or flurry will save it
flak sounds good
Or keep elites and change carapace to flak
I decided to keep the 4 star flak
it's not often I naturally roll a 4 star perk..
That might be the highest level item I own in the entire game.
On all 4 of my chars
First attempt at the new map, Auric Damnation
Build?
Typical Purgatus+Brain Burst+Warp Siphon
Oh I run that occasionally, fun build
with all the assail changes whats the best assail build
cause ngl it just feels like shit
I’d invest in creeping flames. It slaps with purg
So noted
With the mk5 columbus
There isn’t an “assail build”, people usually spend their stacks against ranged patrols and switch to their gun for the warp rider boost, like the one in the pinned guide
You can’t sit on your assail the whole match like you used to
Maybe on heresy
flak and something
Crit Chance Flak?
5% crit + flak
yea crit
Man I woulda been so jealous of that staff back in the day
okay how good is the new revolver in psyker?
i think old revolver better, but havent tested in game only psykanium
is new weapons out yet?
New patch is out now.
Purg is good but only after you roll one up right.
Rip no maniac
With bad decisions and desperation. 🥰
That sounds like the LMB lifestyle I know and love 🥰
already got a good roll on this wtf
👀
you still get surgical charge while about to fan
Day 23 of misspelling surgical 🥹
Ppl are using other stuff like crucian and trickshooter
so it seems like for hitsg, you really want three toughness curios or flamer resist. With only two toughness curios, it takes 200ms of being in fire to lose all of my toughness and the hitstun means i'm losing like half your health at least before being able to dodge out. Being able to survive 3 ticks of damage improves gives you a lot more breathing room to react before your toughness is gone
Only for the first shot meh.
oh you can't get true aim from smite anymore?
now I need to know what gun to run for smite psyker
Revolver would be my choice for running smite gunker. I haven't really used the new one yet though.
Man is it just me or are most of these new melee weapons just...better?
Which ones?
what new weapons psyker got?
is there a patched mod framework out for the new update yet?
They're all global weapons
is it busted?
I'm on my zealot atm but
i've had a few issues but it's still playable for me
Mine worked
Shovel is only vet no?
I'm trying the hordeknife
Yeah some classes got spexial new ones
Zealot got a new eviscerator
mine didnt work?
Which is hilariously much easier to use
You just light spam for horde clear
and heavies for single target
It's easier to use but not better lol
didnt skip the cutscenes and no mod options
did you run it to patch it again after the update?
you ahve toggle it again
ah
Because light attack profiles have less cleave
no I didnt
everytime it update it break
Than heavies
you gotta run that everytime the game hotfixes or updates
aight thanks mate o7
Well yeah but who cares when you're just killing everything anyway?
I mean on lower diff it prob doesn't matter lol
Might not cut through a whole pack in front of you in one super swing but it's faster and shit dies anyway
But in auric mixed horde every bit of dps helps
I'm particularly surprised by the hordeknife though
i have discovered something brillant about the new stimms
My ogryn fren sent me this.
Same thing with the knife, you give up the knife strikedowns for vanguard swings
hehehe
so smol

using the special combos into the heavy strikedown on the horde knife
pretty neat
Iunno, I'm oneshotting lighter elites in damnation with this horde-knife heavy just fine
Not everything obvi but still
hmm what perk should I keep?
The eviscerator can two shot head shot a crusher with charged revved heavies at white rarity
You can also chain the wide swings with h1h2 l3
You're not wrong but I count ease of use higher up on the considerations than most I guess
Sure but being easier to use doesn't necessarily make it better
Yeah yeah, poor choice of words
combat stim + heavy rev
I do think it's good for the game though
can pretty easily clear out a crusher patrol with it
new chainsword good?
Deimos is still my fav for deflector and it’s H2
just realized im lurking in psyker chat while playing zealot lol oops
anyways has anyone tried out the new speed stimm with staves? any good?

I’ve played twice since update. Grabbed 2 stims…. Took them with me to the exit lol
GOD I wanna build around this knife so bad now
do some investigation missions. I've jammed a couple of them into myself trying to use the auspex
God told me you can
lol
I just lask the means atm
I've not been looking much at combat knives so my pool of blessings is as meager as my plasteel reserves
I have to basically ard farm on whatever build I have most fleshed out for like a week to be able to do anything I want
I assume true aim assail works still, I hope so because God Emprah I love that build
what build are you consdering maybe i can try it out of boredom
I hardly have a concrete idea. I just like this new horde knife a lot
wait they have 2 chainswords now...
In truth I'm not even used to playing knife builds anymore to begin with so yeah
You can try haymaker uncanny
See how well haymaker works
Hah, haymaker is usually pretty trash but it makes way more sense here
What are the 3 default good perks for curios?
new revolver seems kinda meh
You should see a vet use it
check atheneum in pins
Thanks
Pins are wrong. It’s 1 wound, and stamina/stamina
With deflector and kinetic deflection
curios depends on your playstyle
I’ve legit kited a chaos spawn around while my team dealt with a bitch of a horde. Can’t touch this
thattt still doesnt nulify my point mate
Weep for me, siblings
dam
he literally said perks
Good luck on the last roll
its bricked
LOL I missed that
Well i'd rather have few stamina even if it's not perfect than no weapon for another week because i don,t have time to reroll a new one 50 times.
I tried the new revolver with surgical handcannon in damnation
eh, doesnt kill crusher and mauler, can oneshot shotgunners
sometimes it take 2 shot for gunner, kinda meh
oh they redo the vet tree
how has everyone experiment with the new weapons
If the perks didn't suck it would be really good with uncanny 4 and rampage 4
New knife is amazing
what about the new chainsword
Haven't tested it yet
i see
hahaha imagine getting surge on your voidstrike haha
imagine not wasting thousands of plasteel trying to get it and instead getting it on just a few tries lol
yall are lying to me surge doesnt actually exist
by the time you got it youll be bored of voidstrike
ive been using voidstrike since i could use voidstrike
the meaty slaps are still hilarious
tried trauma, doesn't hit the same
void supremacy
it just does everything
The math going on in my brain as I see a sniper's laser peeking through the smoke in the new map
The laspistol and knife are tops. Will test the other things when I get around to it
woe, bowling ball upon ye
new map is dark as fuck
moody
can't see anything most of the time
grunge even
If they made some kinda mechanic where it's lighter the higher your coherency score is, maybe my teammates would die less
fr though I've wasted so much plasteel trying to get surge and at this point im pretty sure theres only a couple actual blessings for voidstrike and the rest is a psyop
So, in my attempt to level Zealot before Psyker to have all 4 classes at 30, I decided I hated it at level 4 and immediately went to Psyker. I only have a Trauma staff and Assail, and I already enjoy it on an order of magnitude more.
chastise the wicked and chainsword are cash
anything on zealot is cash
surge was on melk two days ago for me. I just waited for it
yeah you see i was having a good day until you said that
matter of fact, this is a robbery
hand it over
speak to melk
youll be speakin to the fishes if you dont hand that surge over
how did i do
Also, the first game I had access to Malice, I got the going out with a bang Penance.
its easy to blow yourself up
Pretty good!
When you can, swap weak spot to unyeilding ( or what u hate most) and uncanny 3 to 4.
Took like 3-4 Ragers with me
this
Warp battery has so far been the hardest penance for me
the hardest I've tried for, I'll say
🥲
I haven't gone for many, but the one that was the hardest for me so far for whatever reason is Abhor the Mutant
hear "RAAAAAA"
charge hammer
see mutant
Yeet yourself at it
bonk
I got it with an Eviscerator actually
But yeah assail psykers are not welcome into the Society of Cool People
tbh if youre using crucis you dont even need to yeet yourself at it, thing bonks hard
I like Assail in concept, because it reminds me of a weapon in Gunfire Reborn
brain burst reminds me of using my fingers to pretend to crush people's heads
Can someone provide me a good leveling build for Psyker?
Fair enough
get weapons you understand and enjoy and get good with em
Eventually throw something else in there to spice things up
For my Zealot, that's running around like a hedgehog on a caffeine drip with an Eviscerator, swinging it at anything vaguely human shaped
Every handful of levels, buy something new that has better stats
Ogryn is Ogryn.
shield oggy best oggy
I think I made a mistake leveling Ogryn first, because it taught me a lot of bad habits for the other classes lol
ye olde ironbreaker
ONLY A DAWRI
you know i theorized that would be the case for ogryn players lol its fine, you gon learn boi
There was...an unlearning process when I leveled Zealot lol
A good ogryn will clutch spectacularly
Right now I'm set up for the rapid reload ability with Kickback
Learn to not die by playing martyrdom zealot
kickback slaps
So
With psyker, basically all the stuff is viable
So levelling shouldnt be too much an issue
just use your emperors gifts
And once lvl 30, play around with what you like
except that if you're not using voidstrike, you're wrong.
although if you wanna turn your brain off while leveling you just run assail lol
^dont do that cuz bad habits
needles go brrrrr
And what is the way to use them properly?
step one: brain burst
step two: voidstrike
step three: ???
step four: profit
Assail tend to use for opening up a fight/horde clear
so it teaches bad habits cuz they fall off around heresy
pre-heresy you clear the whole room with them and never have to learn melee or use a staff/gun
If you just played zealot, basically a heat seeking revolver
Don't mind if I do!
or as a quickswap weapon for stagger if not for its damage
I tended to use an autogun as my Zealot
or to meme with uncanny and to dink crushers/maulers from afar
gyatt damn
tbh gunpsykers get the most out of assail at higher levels
Now you also have some of the best melee capability as a psyker
Due to the Illisi, Deimos and Dueling Sword Mk4 I believe
Surge is the force lightning abiltiy, right?
gunpsykers trying to justify not taking the beloved voidstrike
and kinetic deflection giving you the equivalent of two stamina bars lol
Surge is lightning staff
surge staff and smite both do lightning, smite is the ability
Smite is lightning blitz
smite does no damage but locks down a whole room
and for instance, smite should be used to stun elites/specialists
surge locks down like 2 people and nukes the hell out of em
And not just
I was watching Moko, and he doesn't like Smite, because it requires that your team is on point with follow up
hold smite 24/7
Yes and no
Smite can be used to stagger things
allowing you to handle it
If you just
doesn't really "require"
you can do a quick smite to zap a group and then end it early and force push them all to the ground
if i see a group of things staggered by smite, i'm hosing it down
Its a stun ability
easy kills, easy green circles
Like the whole
every other class hating smite psykers
Originates from people just never switching off smite
and also the video fx for it were buggy af when it first came out
tanked everyones frames
everyone hates smite psykers until ragers round the corner
so people are still salty
and this is called, balance
Usually of players who are at the skill floor and dont know how to use it better or refuse to learn
Aka
I love every class, I do.
|| just hate the damn players||
Smite Only Psykers, Bleed Knife Zealots, Veterans, Ammo hog Ogryns
And which keystone is generally better, Warp Siphon or Empower Psionics?
depends
depends on the build
four times your max stamina
I'm using warp charges rn, helps a lot with peril generation.
exactly
theyre both good in the right build
Doesn't blocking projectiles use a shit ton of stam though?
warp siphon is the easiest one you don't have to think about much tho
you can quite literally tank a daemonhost on psyker... the base "squishiest" class
pretty much always have extra damage/max stacks
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ac4d6bf-1103-48b3-8184-de7112a91b97/baby-psyker-mokonoise-approved This is the build Moko put together for me on stream to give me an easy starting point to learn how to psyker properly
believe thats deflector
Specifically talent build, I should say
oh, im just a goober
i mean
that would work
its sorta a
you cant fuck it up
kinda thing
Recommendation
Start in T4
learn the ropes
go to T5
Lose, learn, repeat
You're going to suck until you don't.
takes notes
Now I only blow up on purpose
these kinds of numbers
And just
Remember your basics from zealot
they apply here too mostly
Dodge, hit, push, repeat.
Its fundamental darktide gameplay
Those 3 actions
You don't have to learn every mechanic at the same time, either.
tbh if you master just using melee you can do anything atp
yeah, you can always just use terrain to avoid dying to ranged
Master the voidstrike and you too will join the ranks of the elite
melee is the most important thing still
I don't usually die to ranged, but they sure make it easier to die to melee
I find myself mostly getting downed by Maulers or Ragers, if anything
take either a force sword or a dueling sword mkiv
or bullshit Flamers that delete my toughness bar when I'm trying to revive someone
Ok so
Fire.
Here is
Pro Zealot Guide to avoiding fire
Press and hold either WASD in direction away from it
Use Dodge to go more quickly
Positioning is always important
If you die to fire, its a punishment for positioning usually
sounds too simple and even rude prolly but
If you hear the clicks, as a psyker with brain burst, start charging it
Thats the solution 💀
jumping in the fire also makes the damage less punishing
is dark, is spooky
there are edge cases ofc with fire, but for the most part he's right
tight and many walls
but yeah
learning how to play around fire now will make you a better player overall
its usually a postitioning error
god cares not for positioning and tactics, for u will get grabbed by a mutie into bomber fire and watch ur entire hp bar disintegrate
trapper nets you directly into the feet of a tox flamer
dog jump on top of you while you heard a trappe coming
god cares not for wound curios, for u will get ignored by your teammates and die
i saw this happen today
and laughed so fucking hard
wounds curios are even worse with how healing stims work
My beloved says skill issue
trapper flamer combo happens to me every single time
since it's 25% or a wound, whichever is higher
I swear fatshark coded flamers to pop up without a sound cue, so long as a trapper is nearby
yea lmao
Warp Rupture is fucking broken. Why does it not do 200 damage flat damage instead of this RNG shit?
are you using the flat damage vent shriek
i like the soulblaze stacks because funny lights 🙂
I was testing to see how the game actually does damage
also
apparently it just means "Do between 100-200 damage"
I don't use shriek for damage, I use it for "get the fuck away from me/my friends"
its a perfectly fine talent
why use rupture?
its not a fine talent
because it offer nothing new compare to creepingflame and whatever it offer is worse than creepingflame
its fine in the sense it does what it says
Giving Darktide a spin (psyker lvl 28). When should I start tweaking my blessings?
oh
if you take it thats on you tbh
Thats a really low standard if you think its fine
thatsa pretty low standard yeah lol
no no no no
I would save your mats until your base gear score is 360+
Its actual performance is lack luster tbh
they need to be better
but at least it does exactly what it says!
we do not have to settle on their standard
go complain if ya like
because at the end of the day if the game is better then it benefits everyone
i couldnt be assed to do that
the game is better
Fire damage doesnt fall off
well then you dont deserve any improve in any game
nah dw i complain about things i care enough abt
aka literal bugs
and crafting
fuck crafting
we don't have bugs yet
oh but we do
Copy that
flame are bugged
you and what army
the inquisition
also stimm are kinda fun to use
theyre prob bugged though but i only get to use 1 dose today
god i forgot how fuckin nutty my psyker was
One of them is literally just the health potion from VT2
recently watch mandalorian
now everytime i purgatus i am reminded
that i could have had a bliss that blow fire instead of whatever BB is
now i wish psyker blitz actually act like grenade
its not like every blitz have 2 different mode to not obsolete swapping over it
I wonder when are they gonna fix fire 
What is the bug?
the ramping hp damage is still in effect while downed so if you go down in fire you're a lost cause
I think the effect starts at the max intended value 
idk, seems fine to me
Mmhm
what about the toughness breaking
i though thats also a bug
they said its supposed to be dial back right ?
I haven't seen it delete my toughness yet
kinda disappointed in the "new" bosses and how they dont fight you at the same time and are just reskinned traitor captains who you cant even fully kill
not to mention 0 rewards
It's probably a teaser for when we eventually fight both of them at once in a future mission
and they both have different movesets from the traitor cap
i more just want some kind of reward or incentive to bother with them considering they are supposedly time limited
whats the point of making something time limited if you get nothing from it other than annoyance during hordes
Why would you get rewarded any more than a regular boss ?
you dont even get rewarded like some of the regular bosses give you such as monstrosity kills for the weekly missions or penances tied to them
It's probably time limited because they're going to be a duo boss in a new mission at some point
Yea leaked they are going to be in a new mission
So this is just a teaser
Also it's funny to see stinky bombs and the sword guy saying nothing personnel kid
i got the honor of seeing one of the twin today
eh just feels very disappointing regardless, like they yet again are just buying themselves more time for the "next amazing update"
im glad for patch 13 at least but this just feels odd
I get so much purple damn
Is that live 
no
it's a bug i think
it shows up on the bottom left of ur mission terminal for like half a second
sometimes
and its gone immediately
but i clipped it and screenshotted it
most likely the button for the mission to kill the two twins
blows up zola with mind?
more like zola give you special assignment
and its prob gonna be something that detriment nurgle
which is enough to let the genestealer have more ground
bombers were a threat
the moment i hear that grenade pin being pulled out, that buried fear deep in my heart resurfaces, i'm already surrounded and a single millisecond delay of getting out of there would result in my death because a single tick can delete my toughness
now you can just delay your skedaddling until the last second, the grenade going off, and still come out relatively unscathed
shit you don't even need stagger immunity, you don't even need to dodge nor dodgeslide to offset the stagger, you can literally just walk away
surrounded by a horde and a grenade falls at your feet? whip out your melee, spam block push, and walk away
the previous fire would've immediately removed my toughness the moment the grenade goes off and made me walk out of the aoe like an old woman crossing a street
shit you don't even need stagger immunity
https://streamable.com/3a9gmj
is there a place i can look for potential meta builds?
This is fine for an open area, but imagine being naded in a tight corridor and the fire spreads out really long 
Psyker atheneum
also doesnt account for when like 4 bombers decide to spawn all at the same time and all throw a bomb around your general area
then you have to try to trudge through it and the huge horde surrounding you like its call of duty zombies or something
Bro, please don't complain about them not being overtuned now. There was nothing reasonable about the fire damage
what patch number is current?
They still keep you out of the flames, the shit ramps the longer you're in it still so the area denial has not changed
It's just not a hassle to skirt a pool if you have to now
15...?
15 yeah
If it catches you low on toughness you will die incredibly fast, it’s more dangerous than the old fire
Yeah it won’t toughness break instantly anymore but the health damage is massive
And flamers now ignoring toughness or wtf ever is going on there hurts bad
granted its easier to replenish toughness as it used to be, but doesnt make it any less annoying when you get bombarded by them
i got downed within seconds when i was at full health and full toughness from a single tox flamer because they just ignored my toughness altogether and melted my health
have you seen the distance that i had to walk to get out of the grenade's aoe
or how late i could let it be before i started walking
just sprinting out of the range before the grenade goes off is already overkill
right but that only works in an open area
did i need to walk in not a straight line
and it only work in psykanium
in enclosed areas the flame spreads further and thats only assuming you have a single bomber attacking you
is sprinting suddenly non existent in the game
a lot of the times in higher difficulties you got more than just a single bomber throwing a potshot grenade
you get like 2 or maybe even 4 and you have other enemies locking you in place sometimes
again this is a controlled area example verses an uncontrollable scenario
let's be real here
even in aurics, bombers spawn one at a time, but the spawn gap is several seconds, that's why bomber fire stacks
just prio kill properly
ok
you have several seconds hearing bomber voice lines
easier said than done when you are surrounded by lots of threats
well
you have a few seconds hearing that grenade pin get pulled
i guess you go ahead and handle that
Idk how often they spawn, all I know is I often see 2-4 standing in the same place yeeting barrages of fire at me
and cant guarantee your teammates will notice it if you dont
you have a few seconds hearing that grenade flying through the air
sometimes the audio bugs and doesnt even play for spawning audios
since after it is fixed it will be more accurate
Have you actually played a match yet with the new fire or is this all testing room?
i have had trappers walk up behind me with 0 voicelines and trap me
Because it is both easier and much more deadly
fire seems to spread a bit slower giving you more breathing room at first, but its nearly impossible to do anything when you get caught in it
why would they intentionally warn you 🤨
i'm always surrounded by hordes, having a diving playstyle with my zealot, i still find time to kill bombers the moment i hear its sound cues, and if i don't have the opening, i make it by block pushing enemies away from me, block push has 360 degrees knockback, it creates the perfect opportunity to drop whatever it is you're doing in melee and kill prio targets
Well congrats you’re the perfect darktide player
Grass wilts at the sight of you
because its a video game and i should have a general idea when something is intending to attack me? if they normally make noise why wouldnt they suddenly for no reason
people complaining about bomber fire made bombers easier to deal with
it's a joke
i can never tell in this discord sometimes
it doesn't take being perfect to take advantage of how fast you can switch to and from the revolver
all good my g
i want my zoner enemy to actually be doing its intended purpose, zoning and oppressing and making my life harder
not being an inconvenience
i would simply leap up and jump off the chest of the nearest crusher, backflipping over the horde and landing behind the bomber before snapping his neck with my psyker powers. then i would catapult his body into the horde as a weapon and destroy them all in one powerful blow
this game is easy enough as it is and bomber and flamers gets nerfed
ok but i dont want said zoner enemy to make literally unwinnable scenarios either with how many can spawn at a time
I thought you killed them instantly from inside a horde?
How are they going to do anything if they’re already dead either way?
i shouldnt have to bring a highly specific loadout just to deal with bombers before they bomb
I mean if the situation for you was: bomber spawns, dies
How does fire changing affect you?
ye i need to either decide if i have enough time to make an opening to shoot while within melee, or i can't and trade my hp to switch to my gun and shoot that bomber 40 meters away
well if you kill him before he bombs i dont see why fire changing makes the game better or worse for you
okay this conversation is getting nitpicky
regardless of whether we are capable of handling the new fire or not
fatshark is fixing it regardless
so after that we can have another test to see it again
im chill as long as they fix whatever the flamers are doing now
those guys just decimate my health with no real reason to it
it's much safer to ignore now, flamers and bombers were the highest prio because a single tick of damage strips away toughness, you either kill them asap or kite and lose ground
even with full toughness
When you play a match this patch you may find it is not

Does empowered psyionics still affect surge staff or no
is smite bad now or something? i know they fixed the bug with infinite darth sidious stuff
it should only effect your G ability
thats so long ago dwanye lol
It’s quite good if you combo it with the fire perks and shout and warp charges

bro i dont play this game that often lol
i just know people only used smite because infinite funny haha but then stopped when that was patched
You get massive area holding, a surprising number of incidental kills and enough peril to fuel constant shrieking (meaning massive amounts of soulfire)
I have a lot of fun with it in aurics and think it’s quite potent
i want to try out brain rupture more tbh
by contrast dome seems dumb
that and i kind of need to because i have some penances i need to complete with it
I did a trad psyker with trauma and a fire spec and it went well, recommended. BB with shriek is way stronger than it was, you can spam a lot of it very fast
Well then...
Good. That stupid fucking stagger got me hit more times than the fire itself.
you have a few seconds to notice that a bomber grenade dropped at your feet and dodge slide, sprint, walk away
while before, the instant the grenade pops it would strip your toughness, reduce your movespeed, and keep staggering you forcing you to stay in that aoe, if you're already dealing with a horde of melee enemies, you're stuck in that spot not being able to dodge or even get out, the moment a fire grenade goes off you are instantly staggered and forced to stay in that spot
Brunt might be telling me something
Have you played a match this patch?
several
Have you seen how much health damage new fire does?
have you read what i've been sending
No, because its nonsense
How can you say that if you haven't read it?
have you seen how easy it is to walk out of fire now instead of getting staggered into place in the first tick
I read through the first two repetitions of the same essay
I know what it says 😂
too much words ok i'll make it easier to digest
I know you know what it says, you court jester. The point is he's not wrong
bro you literally said yourself that if youre dealing with a horde of melee enemies you are stuck there
This is a git gud situation.
yet you keep saying this whole "just walk away lmao"
yea no shit if you can avoid the fire the fire doesnt do damage 
but what if you are forced into eating fire
ye? there are ways to make hordes back off of you, here's one
block push has 360 knock back
not all block pushes have the same efficiency
Same as the old bomber. Only difference is old bomber stripped your toughness but did irrelevant health damage while new bomber is slower to get your toughness but absolutely shrecks your health
depends on the weapon
slower to get your toughness but its effectively 2 ticks
it went from 1 tick to 2 ticks lmao
That's still slower than one
this is on every melee weapon
You don’t drop them fast it’s a fucking nightmare
oh wait i'm in psyker chat
man i am so sorry for your swords
IMO new flamer is the most dangerous enemy on the map
new flamer is fucked
new flamer is ridiculous
it's definitely not following what fatshark has in its patch notes
Health damage ignoring toughness and massive amounts of fire and it sticks forever 😂
Rager health lowered
BB users rejoice
i wasnt even on damnation and they downed me in like 2 seconds with a burst of fire
does it oneshot now?
bro got the napalm upgrade
Isnt there a bug where the flame does 100+ hp a tick
yeah ragers are easy to kill now
Thought I read it somewhere
ragers got nerfed
even less good enemies to fight in melee 😔
they also seem to not do as much damage, either that or are easier to counter in melee
They spawn a lot more rangers now on hi int to compensate
because they die like bruisers now
1k hp unarmored and flak
come on 😔
all they have going for them now is having high stagger resist
even then you can still stagger them pretty easily with certain attacks
then it happens like old fire
the argument here is how much easier it is now to avoid bomber fire
didnt that change occur in patch14
its easier if you know theres a nade there, but there has been sometimes where the nade is silent because of sound bugs
with the fire not stripping away toughness on the first tick forcing you to get staggered right after
you can just walk away as late as the moment you hear a grenade explode
Not knowing there's a nade there is user error
those things aren't quiet
Pardon me, I'm ill
the flamers dont have the same issue as the bomber's flame right ?
those flame dont have harsh health chip right ? only bomber flame ?
if are running towards your team, and the nade lands at your team, sometimes the sound doesnt play if there are enough things going on
It's a good thing they have a glaring red trail as they fly through the air
so you just slide into a sea of fire
And as such you'd see it running toward the point of impact
You guys all just sound like you miss being able to stand in bad
aite i better not see any of you get hit by bomber fire ever
I fully expect to get hit by bomber fire from time to time
But I never struggled to get out of it unless I got caught dead center and staggered from the insta-strip.

I treat them like a plague just as much as I did before the patch.
I'm not a perfect player but I actively avoid hazards to the best of my ability
Kinda hope they give this weeks Psyker helmet the same voice changing effect to other cosmetics
like there’s another helmet out rn with the same model but unfortunately without the voice changing effect 
there's is always a weird idealism at play with things. on the topic of getting hit by bomber fire, or anything really, people fuck up. shit happens. sometimes you just have a bad game, or a bad day. you don't gotta be perfect, and the people that expect you to be are idiots
tru
Anyone got any tips on how to build the new knife? Rlly wanna try it out but dunno what perks/blessing should i put on it 
Yeah I know what you mean
man surge staff feels so good now
finally back to pre14 
#psyker-class message surge guy (extreme right) having the time of his life
Quick question: the Enfeeble perk for Smite, do enemies have to be actively getting zapped to take the extra %10 damage from all sources, or is it a lasting debuff?
Also does Enfeeble make enemies take an extra %10 damage as they're being smote?
I figure it's the former, but the text says "affected by your Smite", doesn't specify if it means actively being zapped or when they're bbq'd.
Unless they changed/fixed it enfeeble only worked with lmb smite
I dont even take any of the addons for smite, its strong enough base
Not to knock you but I'd like a second opinion on that.
I mean yeah, i could have completely missed a bug fix
Thats solid tho
I know
And test enfeeble I shall
Appreciate it. Only proof of that I found with a quick googling was a single Steam post from early November. Gonna look through the patch notes now, but I don't recall seeing anything about fixing Smite.

Turns out I don't know
But what does seem to be the case is that enfeeble only lasts as long as you keep smiting
LMB or RMB, I am smiting a crusher with and without enfeeble and poking its head with a knife heavy, and the damage is always the same
If it does work, it's only a team benefit and honestly really bad
The blue needle will cause a 25% increase in the energy storage time of plasma and psychic casting brain bursts, rather than a 25% reduction. This bug also increases the amount of heat required for energy storage by 25%
There is a bug in Celerity Stimm
I can see the logic behind it- psyker stuns a horde, squad goes in and scythes 'em down, Enfeeble makes that easier. Especially if there're crushers and maulers in the horde. And it's from all sources, so stunning enemies in fire is more effective.
But yeah, kinda niche.
Wow. Really not bad for an emp drop.
So it takes a longer time?
Is the best blessing for the new Revolver still just Rend/Roulette or is there something spicy you can do on Psyker
they said the 17% toughness curio was a myth, but I finally got my hands on it
They’re rare as hell but if you play long enough you’ll find plenty
Don't strain yourself sibling
I wish i could say that they all just joined
but they were there from the very start
Uriah died instantly
The psyker exists to carry the team with his telekinetic powers
That's just how it is on this bitch of Atoma
The psyker could just help kill the horde instead of making the team do zigzags to get individual poxwalkers
As nice as it is to dunk on monsters with revolver + scriers, ammo is hard to ignore
Anyone used the new laspistol yet? Is that good for it?
It’s better as a primary weapon that the MKII.
All of this crit but low finesse. 😂
What is emp on??
The obscurus is dogshit. It’s a weird middle ground between the Illisi and the Deimos that just doesn’t work
Some people like it. I don't. It's Fine™️.
It wasn't a post about how broken it is. Just literally so much crit shit but no finesse. 🙃
so how are the new weapons we got anyways?
Have only tried the new knife and I like it so far.
My friend sent me this image and I figured I’d share, AI Director seems kinda sus ngl
Cult shit
With the change to animation locks, I might give deimos a try.
That's a nice circle
omg
sacrificed
Feeding the dog
9 mauler 1 ogryn
what changes?
Difficulty:
More damage less health < 30 Maulers
You can dodge out of animation lock of chain weapons or force weapons
Also did they fix BR chaining? Or do you still need to QQ
quick question
for voidstrike edging crit build with VS
does it make sense to take assail instead of smite?
for horde clear and mixed hordes
And if i do take assail, do i need any of the augmentws
I like assail with void
I said I get the logic, I didn't say I liked it.
Smite with void I never used smite
I usually take the pierce augment only
Allows you to hit 3 instead of 2 per shard
Yes, assail works very well with void with surge blessing. Take both augments IMO and try to go for perilous combust. I prefer EP but you can try DD as well, just not my style.
Still, mass stunlock is handy.
Experimented with the +1 jump perk, and I'm definitely noticing that I'm hitting more people.
+1 jump increases spread rate yep
I figure at higher difficulties, people generally don't need the extra %10 extra damage because they have weapons that are already hitting like trucks.
So yeah, gonna stick with the extra stuns.
Another question: Rampage blessing on a dueling sword.
Had trouble triggering the buff in the training ring, gonna go live fire to test it.
Socrates ass mf 
I also recommend going across and taking flame shriek but shield can work if it fits your playstyle
so do you use assail for trash horde clear or mixed horde? and oso can you show your build? tenkie
But yeah, Rampage on a dueling sword, worth it or no?
Honestly once you have a juicy voidstrike with surge + nexus, if you aim directly at head level for hordes it can outperform assail horde clear.
there are still times when you use assail for horde clear, but it's generally for mixed specialist hordes ie lots of shotgunners/ragers etc. Do not just let loose assail on every poxie horde you see or else you will be out of shards when you really need them. If running EP you can chain kill big packs of shotgunners/ragers/dogs/gunners. Learn how to quell cancel assail for maximum efficiency.
Don't forget about right click assail either. Learn to peek corners to quickly snipe out snipers and chip away at gunner packs.
And sure I'll post my build 1 moment while I figure out how
New map on Hi-STG is harder than auric maelstrom before last patch
Just got this from the same mission as an emperor's reward:
What perk and blessing should i change?
Swap sustained fire for surge for sure
is weak spot hit any good?
its pretty easy to land headshots with voidstrike tbh
siblings what blessings should i use with voidstrike
I'm actually not sure, probably not as good as carapace but might be useable. I run flak/carapace but my ideal is carapace/crit chance
Surge 4 warp nexus 4. You can also try flurry 4 and the one that quells peril but I prefer crit for dealing with crushers
weak spot damage only increases the difference between the normal hit and the weakspot hit instead of the entire hit, so in general it's pretty poor unless the bonus is huge (like deadly accurate blessing)
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ac80ea7-fea8-43d3-ad11-17a0b1ec5c5e/assail-void-dps here is the build I run. I didnt do curios because lazy and mine are meh but keep me alive mostly. Sword is also optional, you can run a duelling sword or take deflector/power off the deimos to swap for better DPS blessings. I just like deflector because it lets me position for voidstrike blasts, assail and shrieks easily. For talents, you can also take off psychic leeching and maybe emp evasion? but I really like both of them. Though when I play with my premade group I am considering swapping leeching for 5% range damage since my group is very very tanky
Yeah it needs a buff
interesting, good to know if I try for a 0.01 percent chance void roll that beats my current lmao
it's definitely set up to be a pretty good staff though. change sustained fire for surge or whatever you have for now if you don't have it, and weakspot damage to carapace or maniac or whatever. you'll be able to change it around to whatever you want.
yup. looks like they even got the blast radius dump stat so even with nexus 3 its a solid staff
yeah for sure
I just checked some footage I got of the glitched fire taking out my 238T/305H ogryn is FOUR FUCKING SECONDS. Fatshark how the FUCK did this happen?
I even had about 60 extra from an overtoughness effect

They know, its getting fixed
Take the crying to general-chat
I'm here to judge my siblings and throw pox bursters across the room
Poxtennis? Hell yeah
Man. I feel like I'm going crazy. I've been trying so hard to do the Warp Battery penance. Best I've done is 221s, but I just can't push past that. Even under high-intensity shocktroopers, man. The waves peter out, or there's an elevator and just, oop. There it goes.
Run a premade squad, have your homies hold back if you want to cheese it out
I think the ragers and maulers in hab dreyko might spawn infinitely at the end. they come out pretty often by the drop ship in pairs. I've never stuck around for a whole 5 mins though but it might be worth checking out
I only play Psyker, this is General chat to me
the end event in hab dreyko before the end gauntlet is a good place to do it anyways though as well if your team stalls on purpose for it
My honest to god recommendation is melee+assail psyker. It’s the least ability reliant build style and the buffs from the Warp syphon make you a force of nature.
Legit might try it. I've even gotten way better at being hyper-aggressive psyker, dueling sword and all but I just run out of things to kill to keep it up. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a meme level 4% chance to get off any enemies. Soulflame may as well be tinkling on them.
I’d actually recommend a force sword. Pick up Kinetic deflection and you can literally sit in front of an entire group of gunners for a few seconds and get away Scott free.
KD, my beloved
Been running this, personally.
It’s so fucking broken but in a good way.
Average loner zealot
Haven't had any problems with the 'kill things part'
Deflector Deimos + KD make me so happy when I play this game
Just the 'nothing left to kill' part lmao
but deflector 4 does not exist I still am on 3
I got mine in ”Consignment Yard”. Got it in the auspect room.
Def4 exists. I have it on my Illisi
I only got it when i gave up hope on getting it
God damn I’m bad at reading sarcasm
I can help you get it if you want. It's at least malice difficulty right? don't even need to go higher than that honestly with just camping the end event
Don’t bother trying it on malice. You’ll run out of stuff to kill
not at the end of hab dreyko
Which one is dreyko?
I been doing Malice high-intensity+shocktroop, yeah.
The plague tree
the investigation mission with the plague tree at the end
I hate that tree with a passion
constant infinite stream of regular enemies, elites, and specialists regardless of difficulty
I’ve lost so many fucking games in that room
you could probably do it on uprising still if the penance let you just cause its hab dreyko lol
My favorite is when my entire team stands against the door, not doing scans
And then dying
Nah, gotta be malice or higher
truly the pinnacle of gaming
Yeah just saying
My favorite is when nobody can find the damn scan in the first place
I can like go shield ogryn and just keep push/taunting things at the end if you want in a private game
Honestly I wind up having to biolightning at the tree, because people suck at taking on ragers And scanning.
Most of the time I have to solo the scans in the whole mission
I used to do that, but its not worth it.
I also do believe the scripted elite spawns by the dropship in hab dreyko may be infinite and that could be even easier. I just never stayed around long enough to find out
average asshole player
I don't think so
ah thanks,thanks alot dood!
will based it off this
because i rather run DD
assail should benefit from DD right? since its auto ehadshot
On some of my slower runs out, it tends to get lighter
I'm going to load up one right now anyways because I'm working on the investigation penance so I'll try sticking around longer at the end and let you know
For my dreamscience! sibling

anytime! This build is the only thing I play in this game so if you need any other advice HMU. Yes I have tried this build with DD and it works, just make sure to keep warp rider.
Darn, plague tree isn't up.
yeah I use mmt to go in solo on them
sorry just to ask, you play a5histg?
im curious if it sacales to a5histg
I wish solo was a legit option.
yes it scales very well with difficulty partially because more specials = more perilous combustion stacks which are easy to stack up with assail esp once you get the quell cancelling down. The higher difficulty the better!
16 gigs of ram and 6vram isnt enough for you, you fucking glutton?
16gb hasnt been enough in the past 10 years
however you are still a squishy psyker playing a turret build so if your team runs around like headless chickens it can be hard to set up properly. I mostly play this build in a tanky premade but sometimes I pug, its just harder.
Maybe if you only play AAA slop
this is where i joke about visual studio and it doesnt land
Games shits the bed when flames are around
By chance did multiple flamers/grenades show up?
Also, verify files (never hurts)
should i buy this?
ill try after
My assail voidstrike build here works well in maelstrom
https://youtu.be/uRCQy1tKWqE?si=0jTybpwd6udy2CFC
Voidstrike and Assail were both nerfed. Veri sad.
Patch 1.1.12
Smelter Complex HL-17-36 · Strike · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet (Hunting Grounds)
Loadout: MK IV Duelling Sword / Assail / Voidstrike Staff
00:00 Build
02:28 Game Starts
It's not bad, really depends whether you get decent blessings or not
send me the build :v
At the start of the vid.
looks just like my build but you took quietude instead of leeching, which I have been considering
i assume with assail ep youir main elite/special killer going to be assail
void just for helping with trash horde?
but whats the benefits and drawbacks, or what does it do better/worse
no 2P pic
Ep better overall for me. More assail spamming against elite pack
EP lets you gigasmoke elites by chain killing them thanks to overpowering souls\
Assail EP is nice because you can spam on gunner crowds and get some free attacks
And you can also toss an EP true aim dart at a crowd for extra fuck yous
I won't use dd until they make it behave similar to zealot piety.
same here
so basically
what’s the best staff for psyker 
DD and and VS bad? :v
relatively to void at least.
im sure with non crittable staff DD is of course no relevance
like DD can work if you really want it to but IMO it just does not feel good to play for me
You’re missing out. I find it really fun to hunt my targets while screaming about my schizo god. And also it’s one of the most busted buffs in the game at high stacks.
if you really want to make it work I bet you can, just give it a go no harm in trying if you enjoy the ability
ngl i hate DD
i just took it for the damage
@plucky flax @radiant sleet
what is the gameplay loop like
just spam assail when you see elite/specials and then void if its trash horde?
Dont play stuff you hate, youll ruin the game for yourself

i got used to it with the timings and all
I still want to play a game of schizo scavenger hunt, all psykers, all DD, first one to get 30 stacks wins.
Tennis with pox bursters is more fun
i’m more of a warp charges guy myself. i like the visual feedback combined with the specialist/elite kill noise
Ok so what's the base item rating should you start investing resources in at max level? Minimum 350? 360?
Assail 70% of the time. Void for tankier stuff far away. Mk4 ds for tanky stuff nearby 😂
I like Warp syphon because wildfire go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I mean for getting level IV skills.
idk i feel betrayed that im running a build that is more skill intensive but rewards me LESS
Honestly going for this penance has made me hate warpcharge lmao
I know what I'm looking for for certain items, I meant just skill farming
psyker try to have a normal hobby challenge [literally impossible] [bought white and red pants in the cash shop by accident]
Once again, I recommend playing stuff you find fun
The only skill intensive build is trauma cos you gotta do the flick
You talking about Warp Battery?
Yeah.
Oof, yeah. That was a pain.
221s/300 is my closest
Managed it with original revolver.
yeah pretty much this except I use deimos for the tanky stuff. Just play it a bunch and you will get the feel for it @untold niche
Shock troop gauntlet is your friend.
to be very honest,
something "fun" would be something easy to pilot while still being good
and has some skill expression
ultimately we are bound by our ego, if we do good, we feel good.
of course when we do too good with too little effort it gets boring.
what flik :v
i got it just because i was slowly crawling through an auric carrying a pub and was like “eh might as well do it”
isn't it free aim
Anything homie, your perception of skill is warped
That's what I been doing, but hit elevator/wave clear right about the 200s mark pretty consistently
