psyker-class

[tawdry pasture]

the duellists in there, some have acquired specific skillsets that look hilarious

[zinc phoenix]

Non zealots

[queen fog]

Dope another one of my broskis has that game he showed me the character creator

Witches got alot of subclasses

[vast yew]

Martyrdom Zealots: P A T H E T I C

[zinc phoenix]

I honestly don’t recommend, wait for the sale in a year

[mighty cipher]

My reading comprehension is subpar. Thank you for informing me.

[zinc phoenix]

It’s buggy af rn

[queen fog]

Appreciate the info pal, I’ll be sure to horde my cash till the time is right

[vast yew]

the Owlcat special

[zinc phoenix]

Also psykers are straight up trash despite all the cool looking skills, legit just stack warriors who kill like mad and take zero damage

[tawdry pasture]

oh its like taking a break

[zinc phoenix]

With a leader or two to cheer em on so they can attack like a dozen times per turn

[tawdry pasture]

compared to vetty and og

[queen fog]

In the meantime I’ll probs buy some witch drip, the red eyed navigator helmet has been catching my eye

[mighty cipher]

Not only did it ramp quicker, it’s base was way higher. I died in two ticks after a revive at 83 health.

[vast yew]

the voice mod is top tier

[vast yew]

it also ticked faster; they nerfed the tickrate from 0.2 seconds to 0.35

[queen fog]

Oh ya I lost like 2 squads the other day to bombers alone that flame was nuts

[zinc phoenix]

I can’t stand the voice mods they all sound like someone yelling while taking a shit

[queen fog]

Glad it’s fixed now

[tawdry pasture]

this week was the week of wipes

[queen fog]

“Sibling do you have any spare TP?”

[mighty cipher]

I don’t know if people realize how much slower that is, that would’ve nearly halved its damage by itself.

[zinc phoenix]

“No sibling but I do have the ability to crush you in battleshits”

[vast yew]

yeah it went from 5/second to less than 3

[tawdry pasture]

oi need moah teepee for my bunghole - ogryn beavis

[zinc phoenix]

Ogryn thinks tp is rations

[quasi junco]

Or a knockoff Bane

[vast yew]

so did people during Covid

[mighty cipher]

I thought you were talking about kill times and got the numbers reversed for a second.

[quasi junco]

That was me

[zinc phoenix]

He just wants his spaghetti maker repaired

[mighty cipher]

I remember getting torched in 3 seconds from full while playing ogryn one time….

[quasi junco]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-costume-bane-costume-bane-cat-bane-gif-4861833

[tawdry pasture]

where are the sausig, allison

[mighty cipher]

Also, the number of people who couldn’t process the information of DONT REZ IN FIRE is insane

[zinc phoenix]

I mean my ogryn has like 600hp and more DR than the emprah has kills and was still dying near instantly in fire

[vast yew]

3 seconds of old fire did something like 600 damage

[mighty cipher]

I actually had a guy flame me for dying because of that yesterday.

[zinc phoenix]

Voice chat?

[mighty cipher]

Old as is bugged, or the toughness break fire?

[mighty cipher]

Yeah

[vast yew]

old as in last patch

[zinc phoenix]

Turn that slider to zero, nothing of value ever said in pub voice chat

[mighty cipher]

It escalated into a shouting match but by the end of the mission everything got cleared up.

[mighty cipher]

I’ve actually learned some very important information from it. Most of the time people just don’t speak.

[vast yew]

90% of the time it's a guy saying something about a medkit, scripture, or something like that

[mighty cipher]

God, it really did that much emotional damage to be considered ”old” after like a week.

[vast yew]

it's old compared to the "new" fire

[tired knoll]

did they fix the part where you instantly die if a rando revives you in fire

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve found 60% of the time it’s raging morons, 39.999% its some dude eating a bowl of plastic bags and 0.001% of the time it’s useful info

[mighty cipher]

Mostly

[tired knoll]

wdym mostly

[quasi junco]

I did that on purpose, only once tho

[zinc phoenix]

So I just turn it off unless I’m in a discord group

[vast yew]

You should be able to dodge out if you spam dodge as you get picked up, but if you aren't paying attention you'll still die in like a second or 2

It keeps the ramp-up but ticks slower

[woeful patio]

NOOOOO HES DOWNED I MUST REZ

[zinc phoenix]

I wish dodge worked on voice chat

[vast yew]

so you have like 1.5 seconds to escape instead of like 0.5 lol

(it also caps at 32.5 damage instead of 35)

[mighty cipher]

Hm, for me it’s either one word like scripture or book or some dude chilling while casually chatting with the team. It’s very rare to get assholes.

[zinc phoenix]

Some clown rezzed me in fire and when I told him “don’t rez in fire” after I instantly died he big brain replied with “I wasn’t in the fire”

🤡

[quasi junco]

That sounds like something I would do

[mighty cipher]

I mean, technically you’re both right.

[vast yew]

the only times I hop into voice chat is when we're all sitting in an elevator and player #4 is happily wasting ammo on the horde instead of finishing the mission

[tawdry pasture]

at least they tried (this is a joke)

[quasi junco]

Gotta pad those stats

[glossy ember]

only time i heard voice chat was someone complaining because I as ogryn didn't go and hit the highest tentacle in the lava foundry final event

[mighty cipher]

That’s fucking cap. I refuse to believe the DPT was sub 40

[zinc phoenix]

This discord is woke about the weirdest things. Like I can’t say s p r g but I can talk about fucking a clown in the ass

Like really?

[glossy ember]

clown girls hell ye

[woeful patio]

Society 😔

[vast yew]

according to what they posted, it used to tick 5 times per second at 35 damage per tick but

[quasi junco]

S p r g? Spring?

Sprig?

[zinc phoenix]

Put an e in the middle of the four letters

[woeful patio]

Sp to the erg

[tawdry pasture]

tfw you can do a clown but not a disabled clown

[zinc phoenix]

Pound that gimp

[glossy ember]

typo it was a disabler clown

[woeful patio]

It’s slang for the big R that isn’t a slur but people think it is

[glossy ember]

[quasi junco]

lol I tried to type that and was censored

[woeful patio]

Also VC in DarkTide is 90% casual

[zinc phoenix]

It’s not slang for that, it’s slang for asbergers/autism

[mighty cipher]

Those numbers sound about right from the footage I got my numbers from but it doesn’t feel right.

[woeful patio]

I think the most toxic interaction I’ve had was a 310 vet getting mad at me for using a chat macro telling my team not to piss off the Daemonhost

Dude lectured me for a solid 10m saying he has +600 hours in the game and didn’t need to be reminded how DaemonHosts worked

[zinc phoenix]

I just ping spam the fucking thing

[woeful patio]

He then got downed by a Trapper

[mighty cipher]

If you were spamming it it definitely gets annoying.

[quasi junco]

Yea the R word has scientific uses. Like Flame R’ant

[tawdry pasture]

first it giveth

then it trappeth

[woeful patio]

I literally press Numpad 7 and it’ll quickpaste a single message into chat “Please don’t anger the Daemonhost”

[mighty cipher]

Like one use should be more than enough unless someone keeps firing near it.

[idle aurora]

shit talkers getting fucked by trappes and dogs will always make me laugh maliciously

[zinc phoenix]

I have autism but this discord won’t let me use any of the slang to refer to myself while still allowing me to be as graphic as I want in describing sex which is just massively wack

[woeful patio]

I didn’t spam it it was ONE TIME

He just took it personally

[mighty cipher]

Amazing

[vast yew]

Psykers watching trappers fire a steel net through a chain-link fence that they can't Brain Burst through:

[woeful patio]

You are special and clearly need to be protected at all costs

[tawdry pasture]

videoblames

[woeful patio]

What if someone hurt your feelings huh???? What would you do???

[zinc phoenix]

Drives me nutty when a stealth trapper traps me through a crusher into fire

[woeful patio]

THIS THOUGH

I’ve been trapped through concrete beams

Walls

Everything

But I can’t BB through the gaps in RAILING

[vast yew]

you can get trapped through the railing on the bridge in Throneside

[woeful patio]

WHY

[zinc phoenix]

One time I jumped off a fucking ledge for a zone transition and trapper fired a net out of space, nailed me and dragged me back up onto the ledge

I was malding so hard

[vast yew]

reminds me of the time I got Hookrat'd mid-jump in Vermintide

"No-no, you come back here"

[mighty cipher]

I would actually firebomb and undisclosed location if trappers could fire through the sides of that bridge. Gunners and snipers already can I don’t need even more of that shit.

[compact bluff]

i once got trapped through a wall and two pillars pulling me up a dropdown through the world so the enemies couldnt even hit me

[zinc phoenix]

Fuck-screw you in particular

[woeful patio]

Ledges are also super weird

[zinc phoenix]

yes-yes

[vast yew]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/18fa6l0/trappers/

[woeful patio]

I climbed onto a roof in the torrent and one of the houses has a ledge boundary on the roof

[zinc phoenix]

I always find the two inch wide ledges in the middle of nowhere to fall off

[woeful patio]

So instead of falling to street level you just instantly hang off the roof

[zinc phoenix]

Like it doesn’t matter where that ledge is, if there is a ledge anywhere in a zone I will find a way to fall off it

[mighty cipher]

…………….

[vast yew]

When you do the end event of Archivum Sycorax and you go to drop down behind the Scribe if you hit the angle just right you'll hang off it instead of falling

[bleak tulip]

lmao

good choice

[vast yew]

Source: hit the angle just right and had to have the team run all the way back up to save me

[zinc phoenix]

Me handling blobs of crushers:
Me when a ledge exists: 🤤

[mighty cipher]

Lmao, I also found that out the fun way.

It was my teammate that fell though and not me. Fortunately I watched him drop and thought
”That angle seems like it wou- YEP”

[vast yew]

just hanging there about 2 inches away from the drop down going "... welp"

[mighty cipher]

A similar thing happens on the Ageis Station bridge

[zinc phoenix]

Always jump exactly down the center or doom

[mighty cipher]

If you get too close to the edge it sucks you down there like a vacuum.

[woeful patio]

My mind is so powerful I can literally cause enemies heads to blow up, but alas for all my cerebral might I am still at the mercy of gravity and poor map design

If there is a ledge I have fallen off of it

Bar none

[vast yew]

if OSHA existed in the 40k universe they would shut down so many facilities

[mighty cipher]

More people have died to environmental effects then any boss or enemy in Dark Souls.

[vast yew]

Ogryns when they can bash in a Terminator's helmet but can't pull themselves up from a ledge

[woeful patio]

Trauma Staff wh-when 3inch lip or stairs

[vast yew]

I genuinely do not understand how the Trauma staff works with stairs

[woeful patio]

It doesn’t

That’s the sad fact

[vast yew]

ah well that would make sense

strange Warp-stairs making the AoE disappear

[spice veldt]

the aiming thing for the trauma is infinitesimally small so it falls through the small gaps

and unlike ogryn's rumbler, it doesn't land on enemies, only on map geometry or at the edge of its range

[vast yew]

why are there even geometry gaps in the stairs anyways

[spice veldt]

so you end up having to fight the great evils of grated stairs

[mighty cipher]

The detection point is on the ground. It’s stupidly easy to break LOS when using it on uneven surfaces.

[zinc phoenix]

Because they hate you

[mighty cipher]

Because of optimization

[vast yew]

literally more optimal to make stairs with no gaps because less vertices/edges

and the physics engine has less work to do

[mighty cipher]

Or you can make a staircase of planes

[vast yew]

yeah or that

the model can look however it wants, but under the hood it's just simpler to not care about the collision that much

[zinc phoenix]

Boeing likes this

[vast yew]

plus it prevents feelsbad moments like grenades dropping through them

especially in a PvE game like this

[zinc phoenix]

I’ve gotten good at aiming trauma but I don’t even try around stairs

[vast yew]

I just jump up in the air and try to get the AoE to snag on the ledge above

if I can't do that I just aim at the bottom

[woeful patio]

If Wolfer wanted to be absolutely invincible he’d construct his fortress with grated floors

Trauma would be absolutely unuseable

[eager mantle]

"Yo what's with all the bloodstains here?" Gets pushed off by off screen enemy or failed at a jump for loot

[woeful patio]

No V2 parkour puzzles in DarkTide

Shame

[spice veldt]

yeah on stairs the strat is to either be far away enough that you aim along the edge of trauma's range, or be on top of the stairs so you can look sideways along the stairs

[eager mantle]

I appreciate trauma insta deleting bursters

[vast yew]

let us Parkour up to talk to Rannick Fatshark

[digital narwhal]

It allows for maximum funny

It has only happened once, but it let me blow a toxic player off of the map

I was very proud of myself

[eager mantle]

"Oops"

[mighty cipher]

The floor in the frenzied flame chamber in Elden Ring was red with bloodstains.

[queen fog]

You do not have the Right to

Damn u autocorrect putting to after my emoji

[vast yew]

Reminds me of the entire Dark Souls 2 community committing suicide at the exit from the newbie area to troll new players

[mighty cipher]

That’s every game

It’s been a proud tradition since DS1

[vast yew]

Yeah but it felt like Majula had a lot more than usual, especially since there were literally 0 enemies there

[mighty cipher]

Fair point

[vast yew]

at least in DS1 or 3 you could legitimately die to enemies right before the hub

[eager mantle]

Demon's Souls players committing suicide in the nexus to be in soul form to control world tendency

[vast yew]

Also that freaking Katana guy outside the hub in DS3 was harder than like the first 3 actual bosses

[mighty cipher]

Don’t mention that god forsaken mechanic

[eager mantle]

New players just seeing people w/o context jumping to death

[vast yew]

until you learned to cheese him off the ledge

[eager mantle]

World tendency was good

[thorn cedar]

something happened last night while doing my ridiculous TDR build

And I now finally understand the Trauma Staff

[mighty cipher]

16.8 diameter blast radius

[thorn cedar]

No just the using it

[mighty cipher]

Ah, fair enough

[thorn cedar]

I have always hated it and the Coruscation staff in how it operates

But I guess a Crusher hit me on the head just right

[mighty cipher]

What is the autocorrect is that second one?

[thorn cedar]

Vermintide 2

[mighty cipher]

Oh

[plucky flax]

Blaze trauma is really bad need buff.

[thorn cedar]

Sienna staff which is pretty much Trauma

[true lake]

coruscation staff is funi tho

[thorn cedar]

It didn't satisfy me the way throwing death bolts did

And for Unchained which was my jam the beam staff was all I needed

[vast yew]

I would love Psyker Beam staff

[true lake]

i kinda like it, pairs perfectly with unchained and how melee focused it is

just blast some shotgun blasts in the middle of your rampage

[vast yew]

Coruscation staff is the one that makes a fire on the ground that burns over time and has a shotgun left click
Conflagration staff is the one that's like Trauma

[true lake]

beam staff is more of a burn build thing

[thorn cedar]

I thought conflag was the fire ground one

[true lake]

easy to apply burn ticks with it

a lot have the fire ground thing as secondary

[woeful patio]

Just port all of Siennas staves

Smh

The work is done

Just make the fire blue

Don’t even change the models

[vast yew]

coruscation is the DLC one

[true lake]

well one of her staves is literally just brain burst the staff

[vast yew]

Brain burst + Assail

[true lake]

the lmb sucks ass, brain burst only good thing on it tbh

or whatever they call it instead of brain burst

[queen fog]

The lil long windup soul steal the necro got?

[true lake]

yeah

[queen fog]

I feel ya the scythe feels way cooler than her staff

[true lake]

scythe is meh for me, just enjoy the other melees more i guess

[woeful patio]

Scythe is cool visually for sure

[true lake]

i still use flail

[queen fog]

Valid

[woeful patio]

But the flail will always be best imo

[true lake]

visually scythe looks awesome tho

but kind of hard to beat super fast melee that ignores shields

[vast yew]

Scythe is good on Necro and Unchained because they can buff its attack speed, which it really needs

Necro gets extra crit chance which helps with some of her talents while Unchained gets the funny 60% power buff

[ornate hamlet]

western dev try to make the stair collision a ramp challenge [LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE] [GONE SEXUAL]

[true lake]

also glad to see they hotfixed the horrible fire issue in darktide lol

people were hurting in their higher difficulties

[ornate hamlet]

"Sterling, Sweden is east of the meridian"

[queen fog]

[GONE HERETICAL?]

[ornate hamlet]

Now you fucking listen here

[queen fog]

Oh no gato gifs one of my many weaknesses

I yield

[vast yew]

[THEY CALLED THE INQUISITION]

[cobalt bone]

Btw how is the Trauma staff? Never used it so far

[queen fog]

Trama force is pretty fun

[cobalt bone]

Can it clear maniacs too ?

[queen fog]

U gotta lead it a lil on decently moving specials but other than that?

[cobalt bone]

Up to flak mayb even ?

[queen fog]

Solid damage, pretty decent CC

I enjoy making giblets outta crushers with mine since it’s got rending shockwave blessing

[cobalt bone]

So it can do well vs Specials and stuff then

[queen fog]

The damage trick is ensuring they’re in the middle of the circle when u let go of charge

Fancy vocab for it is called the epicenter

[cobalt bone]

I try around in malice i suppose to see If i like it

[queen fog]

Word even if u miss the epicenter whoever u hit will be heavily staggered

[cobalt bone]

What Blessing do you recommend on it?

[queen fog]

Have fun

Rending shockwave and uh

I’ll have to relook at some things

Cuz I ain’t in my setup rn

[cobalt bone]

All good

I will make it work

[tawdry pasture]

Psyker

[cobalt bone]

Crits gud on it? Or rather others

[woeful patio]

Not enough people lambasting the new Psyker cosmetics releasing in 2 days in #darktide-driptide

Hop to it

(Please)

[queen fog]

I remembered it!

Warp flurry!

Long story short lessens the charge time on ur m2 so u can keep spamming them out

Mad handy to make any trama force go crazy

[tawdry pasture]

Siiiiiiiiike

[winged flame]

With them update for the Psyker give me your build 🤦🏼‍♀️ don’t mean to seem demanding but gosh I hate when I play him ( I want to love him not hate him ) ( him cuz mine is a man )

[woeful patio]

Can you do that again

But in English

[tawdry pasture]

take brain burst warp stacks and kinetic deflector, kinetic deflector

both kinds

[woeful patio]

Kinetic Deflector my beloved

[tawdry pasture]

the build never changed

easy snipe tool, easy stun tool, easy tank tool, the only thing I would swap is bb for smite but I’m lazy (and value distance lock on lazy headshots)

[woeful patio]

I exclusively swap to surge if there’s already a BB Psyker or it’s hound wave modifier

Specialist and Elites are just fodder for EP BB

But hounds scare me

[tawdry pasture]

the best build is good team

[glass forge]

what can purg staff do against ogryn crushers? void staff,trauma, surge staff can all stun them. just try run away and puff it to death or wait for ur allies to kill it?

[thorn cedar]

You can hit them with the staff.

[queen fog]

I love special action with the staves

Chopped off some pox heads a few times

[vast yew]

you either be a gigachad and bonk them (which can interrupt them mid-overhead if you charge it a bit) or you swap to your Deimos/Dueling Sword 4

[tawdry pasture]

take coherency and teambuff nodes, reap the rewards of support Psyker

[queen fog]

Even funnier if I’m rocking kinetic flayer and it procs off the staff melee

[vast yew]

Surge staff is best staff to run when I want to give my brain a break

"I don't want to think too much this round, Imma just spam right clicks, maybe some assail darts"

[woeful patio]

I meant Smite but yes

[vast yew]

oh

[woeful patio]

Surge has always been my favorite staff

[vast yew]

[woeful patio]

Even without the EP Bug(rest in piss)

I’ve been using Trauma as of late and had very good results

Purgatus is boring and I don’t like it

[vast yew]

Trauma is nutty

[eager mantle]

Surge is my comfort staff

[vast yew]

though you don't need Smite on Trauma really

[eager mantle]

I run BB with trauma.

[woeful patio]

90% of my games I’m running BB

It’s my favorite for sure

[eager mantle]

Got my 20 headshot kills in a row recently because of gunner spam

[woeful patio]

I’ll probably never get it because I refuse to use guns

And I’m okay with that

[eager mantle]

I got it with BB

There were so many gunners I got it off having to use BB for +20 kills straight

[humble bolt]

Why would you ever use a staff or any magic powers on psycher when you could have 100% crit guns

[eager mantle]

Trauma blaze funny

But I'm gonna be back to my columnus soon. I miss my warp crayon eating

[vast yew]

Because you can't get 100% crit guns

[humble bolt]

It's close enough

[vast yew]

7.5% base + 5% perk + 5% node + 5% aura + 20% scrier's = 42.5% crit

not even halfway there (though true-aim also helps)

can get to 63% if you're using a Revolver; makes Crucian/Handcannon on the new one quite fun

[woeful patio]

Hold up BB counts?

[eager mantle]

He did what we call a hyperbole.

[woeful patio]

This changes everything

[vast yew]

my beloved says hyperbole is heresy

[eager mantle]

Got it this week with it

[woeful patio]

I’ll do that then

[eager mantle]

I was just messing with blaze trauma

[woeful patio]

Fools train for years with firearms but I’ve honed my mind all my life

[fresh reef]

this was auric damnation, and I got here just before the last medicae station

[eager mantle]

And got it because the situation called for BB

[fresh reef]

what the hell happened in this lobby???

[woeful patio]

BRO

WHAT THE FUCK

IS THAT

[humble bolt]

I do it with laspistol and it's so much fun

[woeful patio]

Holy shit the border is beautiful

[eager mantle]

Scoreboard only tracks what you've joined seeing

[woeful patio]

Tell me that’s a mod

[fresh reef]

okay, that makes a lot more sense actually

don't know why I didn't think of it

[fresh reef]

which border?

[woeful patio]

Yummy golden wings and candles

Peripheral Box

[fresh reef]

that's just the normal endscreen border

[woeful patio]

Lies

No way I haven’t noticed

[midnight cove]

thanks hadron

[fresh reef]

well, it only shows up when you win

[woeful patio]

I’ll keep you in my prayers

Hope you recover from this loss

379 😱

Ouuuuuuugh

[fresh reef]

pair it with a two piece suit and you're golden

[eager mantle]

You can play a game, see your stats, game crashes, rejoin and see the scoreboard reset

[midnight cove]

its alright dont care about my psyker melee that much

[woeful patio]

And it’s an Illisi

Oh my poor heart

To see it defiled so

Maybe hold onto it though for when Crafting is finally finished

Just rename it “Mommy Hadron Why” in the meanwhile

[midnight cove]

👍

[eager mantle]

I mean I can live with the perks but both blessings can get yeeted

[fresh reef]

been wanting to run Surge without Smite for a while, just because it was getting a bit stale and snipers were the bane of my existence

this is quite fun, highly recommend

[woeful patio]

Running something that isn’t a force sword?

Pass

Psyker only has 3 melee weapons in my eyes 😔

[eager mantle]

I'm on my blaze trauma arc with BB. You actually take the 12% chance over guaranteed on elite?

[woeful patio]

In Damnation+ just take guaranteed on elite

As there’s so many

Anything lower I’d take 12% imo

[eager mantle]

If it was like at least 20% I'd consider it

[woeful patio]

I mean it procs off of EVERYTHING dude

And even your teams kills

So in a horde you’re almost guaranteed full stacks

[fresh reef]

higher upkeep when spamming it into hordes

[woeful patio]

^

If you’re fighting for elite/special kills with a zealot or veteran the 12% works wonders

[fresh reef]

sometimes you get lucky with the rolls and just don't. stop. tossing. the funny rock candies

I also tried the same build with Scrier's but couldn't really feel the benefits

[midnight cove]

lmao I just queued into the score screen twice

[fresh reef]

that and I blew myself up one too many times

[midnight cove]

in a row

[woeful patio]

I’m not a fan Scrier either

It has its uses for sure

I use it with Purgatus

[midnight cove]

I think the bubble is too op to not pick most of the time

[woeful patio]

But I’d rather take something else most of the time

Also Bubble saves games for sure

[midnight cove]

its not necessarily but its so good

[woeful patio]

Completely shuts down Beasts of Nurgle

And the toughness regen is mint

[midnight cove]

yep

also clutch for snipers

and gunners of course

[woeful patio]

Wish the shield health was more readily apparent

The blinking isn’t enough

I want a color change or something

Make it more purple with lower health, anything

[midnight cove]

def true I didnt even know it blinks lmfao

[woeful patio]

Nobody does

It isn’t communicated well

[rich rose]

Decided to try my hand at gunker sporting a hand cannon

[woeful patio]

Yuck

[willow hazel]

I have a hard time picking shield over vent.

[woeful patio]

Vent is my favorite ability bar none

But bubble has SAVED countless Auric Runs

Sisters of Battle get moist in the nethers when there’s a Psyker with Smite and Bubble Shield in the AO

Combination so good it’s basically Peanut Butter and Jelly

Or playing Zealot and being bad

Inseparable

[eager mantle]

Assail Scriers get all the bitches

[willow hazel]

It just feels like most situations where bubble is good against shooters, Vent would just kill them all anyways

[woeful patio]

Kill them?

What difficulty are you playing

Oh you mean the standard shooty boys

Nvm

Vent is definitely useful for clearing LoS of ranged enemies assuming your peril is high enough

But Bubble has massive clutch potential

[willow hazel]

vent doesn't even need LoS

[violet oak]

Vent to temporarily stun whatever i want to get in stabbing distance of

[woeful patio]

And more uses than:

• Burning Horde that dies to light spam anyway
• Temporarily stunning specialists or elites(when it works)

Meanwhile Dome Shield can:

• Make safezone for rez or rescue

[violet oak]

Counter offer: i vent and stab a heretic

[woeful patio]

I love vent with a passion and run it 90% of the time, but if I’m playing Auric Maelstrom I’m bringing dome

Namely with randoms

[violet oak]

In my experience, dome psykers are the knife zealots of psykers

[torpid breach]

I do like dome/shield because it could also let a slow team advance down a firing line hall

[woeful patio]

Shield Wall has its place

But the toughness buff hnnnnnnnng

[coarse bane]

Nah, that's symkers.

[woeful patio]

^

[violet oak]

Most dome/shield psykers ive met, simply don't and die

[woeful patio]

Dome Psykers have ONE JOB and that is place dome

Knife Zealots have ONE JOB and that is don’t run off and die alone

And they fail that 90% of the time

[coarse bane]

Lol

[torpid breach]

Lucky i am somewhat literate in my job then

[coarse bane]

They could be talented into having their shadow as a friend.

[torpid breach]

Having a pseudo medkit for toughness is nice

[woeful patio]

Zealots would try to burn their shadow if they could

[coarse bane]

Not wrong.

[woeful patio]

Also straight up if you see inbound stinkies just drop a dome and revel in your enhanced durability

Plus no smelly trappers or snipers can ruin the brawl

Projectiles spawned inside the dome disappear instantly

(That’s why Beasts of Nurgle can’t vomit)

[torpid breach]

Do they?

[woeful patio]

The only downside is that while snipers can’t SHOOT YOU they can still target you so the second the bubble pops you’re getting plinked

[woeful patio]

Yes

[torpid breach]

Nice

[woeful patio]

Bring Dome and spawn a BoN in the meatgrinder

The vomit simply doesn’t appear

And trapper nets get eaten by the bubble

[torpid breach]

I dont got no mod so i will have to venture into what they call the shits to test things out

[woeful patio]

If a gunner is inside the dome he shoots blanks

Not sure if it drains the shield health though

I’d assume it does

[violet oak]

Well thats nice

[vast yew]

Fun tip: if a Beast of Nurgle is inside the shield, it's vomit attack does literally nothing

[woeful patio]

Yeah

[vast yew]

Funner tip: a Beast of Nurgle can only eat people it's puked on

[woeful patio]

It doesn’t cover the floor

It doesn’t cover you

So a dome basically neuters the beast

[vast yew]

So if you want to bully a Beast of Nurgle, pop a dome over it and just smack it to death

[woeful patio]

BUT it will still do the vomit animation

[vast yew]

it literally can't hurt you (if other players approach into melee range it'll do AoE attacks)

[woeful patio]

Giving you free hits on the weakspot

[naive sonnet]

what's the dump stat for trauma staff?

[vast yew]

Warp Resistance, kinda

[naive sonnet]

purgatus i'm assuming it's damage?

[vast yew]

Purgatus is either damage or again Warp Resistance

[naive sonnet]

kk

thanks

[torpid breach]

Would be real nice because i always get puked on and eaten unless i make a point to run away

[vast yew]

but in any of those cases you stil want good numbers

like a Trauma staff with 0 WR and a Trauma with 60 are going to perform very differently

[naive sonnet]

yeah i've just a few within the 360-370 range and deciding if i wanna burn plasteel on them

[hollow dove]

Hey, all curious if anyone has some thoughts on running a gun/melee focused psyker. Been having fun with Scrier's and Predestined but it doesn't seem truly competitive with some staff builds.

[woeful patio]

I fuck with warp resistance

[torpid breach]

I dont play the tip top auric stuff but i just take fast revolver and force sword on a smite&dome loadout

[woeful patio]

I live for Maelstrom or at lowest normal Damnation

[vast yew]

Gun Psyker, or Gunker as it's commonly known around here, is a perfectly legitimate way to play Psyker that is considered Heresy by some

[woeful patio]

Not considered

Fact

[tawdry pasture]

Nurgle, straight to the dome

[woeful patio]

Your name is on a list and when Santa reads it he won’t be pleased

[queen fog]

Embracing freakish powers or not ima supply them with ammo, whether they like it or not

[tawdry pasture]

krampus pass

[queen fog]

My ammo vet requires blood tax

[woeful patio]

When patch 16 drops any Psyker with a gun actively equipped won’t gain access to the new staff as clearly you don’t deserve it

[hollow dove]

Ooo is there a new staff coming?

[woeful patio]

Nooooooo

Only more recolored cosmetics

And a new boss fight with a secret difficulty

[vast yew]

Eventually. Probably. Maybe.

(almost certainly but it could be a while knowing Fatshark)

[fresh reef]

everyone, this is Gabe

idk if the shirtless bug is back or if this guy is just lucky enough to be shirtless still

[vast yew]

there's a mod floating around that lets you equip the shirtless armor piece

not on Nexus though, apparently somewhat difficult to find

had a guy talking about it in a game last week while he was running shirtless Zealot

[fresh reef]

interesting

[woeful patio]

They nerfed Zealots boob hanging out and now they’re trying to stop us from being shirtless

Clearly anti-nudist rhetoric

[fresh reef]

for those curious, here's what the inspect looks like

[tawdry pasture]

It's hard work to keep Slaanesh out.

Now the heretics can see something beautiful before they die

[fresh reef]

will post mod directly in a sec

for the funny

update, there is no direct download

but you can just copy the lua, so I'll be back in a few minutes

[torpid breach]

To be fair it is indeed weird that they dont let us go shirtless, at least on zealot and ogryn

Considering how ogryns normal "armor" is a god damn singlet

[woeful patio]

Not like female characters are NUDE

They wear clothes underneath everything

Although I have a reliable source that indicates we do have a full texture map underneath

🥴

[vast yew]

We know we have a full map because of the boob clipping bug

I'm just upset that they give us all these cool chest tattoos and then you never see them

[torpid breach]

Exactly, quite an amount of cool ink and no way to show them off

[vast yew]

bonus points for the giant wrap on female characters so you can't even see wtf the chest tattoos look like half the time unless you switch to a male body

[tawdry pasture]

some grand designs in those chest tattoos

[woeful patio]

TRUE

PREACH

We could have sick as fuck animated tattoos and never fucking see them

Where are the mid rifs at

[vast yew]

Like I don't necessarily want full korean MMO-style clothes but why tf would you put in the tattoos if we cant see them

[woeful patio]

Quarter Sleeves

Yeah keep the clothes grounded in universe

But give us some variety damn

[vast yew]

the newest Zealot cosmetic has a mid-riff behind the chainmail

if all goes well I'll drop a rar file in here

[woeful patio]

👉👈

[fresh reef]

for your nudist pleasures

[torpid breach]

Thats why i said at least on zealot and ogryn because these two seem most likely to go shirtless

[olive ember]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/jCuZTRTBIh

Can someone check the math

[torpid breach]

Shit ogryn already have shirtless armor why cant he have plain shirtless

[woeful patio]

#FreeTheNipple

[vast yew]

Psykers have some justification for a fancy dress that shows a bit, and Vets could get some Catachan skins

but yeah Ogryns and Zealots are definitely the most likely

Ogryns don't care and Zealots are nuts

[fresh reef]

update: it works

checking if toggling it allows you to re-equip stuff

toggling it appears to work, but you need to restart to take your shirt off again

[torpid breach]

Would other people see it or nah

[fresh reef]

if it loads in the mourningstar (testing still) then yes, it should

[vast yew]

when I played with a Zealot with the mod we all saw him as shirtless

since it actually unequips your chest slot

[fresh reef]

well uh, progress I think

anyway, here, go nuts fellow rejects

[torpid breach]

Lmao bruh thats dirty

[woeful patio]

Dude I’d totally go nuts over jewelry or rings

Also finally I can release the twins

Truly a blessed day

[vast yew]

the latest Zealot cosmetic also has rings

[woeful patio]

Yeah more of a reason to hate what Psyker gets

[fresh reef]

TIL I have a cool ass psykana tattoo that's below my shoulder blade

would never, ever see this otherwise

[woeful patio]

It’s a fucking recolor

And a really ugly frill

[vast yew]

that frill is fabulous sibling

[woeful patio]

The other 3 classes get completely brand new full sets

[vast yew]

Probably looks better when not attached to a doctor's smock

[woeful patio]

Unique from head to toe

We get a single unique piece

The metals aren’t even consistent!!!

Steel plated shoes and collar but the tubes are gilded

Hoping they fix within the next 48h

[vast yew]

if you check the store for the oldest Ogryn cosmetic that you can still buy

then you can experience the utter glory that is: blue camo bandana, blue camo trousers

GREEN shirt

because fuck you that's why

[torpid breach]

I never understand why the absolute fuck premium outfits cant be uniform uniform

[vast yew]

there's been a few Vet ones where the helmet is a different color than the rest of the armor

for literally no reason

and then the correct color helmet gets released separately

[woeful patio]

I KNOW

THAT SHIT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH

BECAUSE IT FURTHER PROVES FATSHARK JUST THROWS SHIT TOGETHER

I addressed it in #darktide-driptide and was just told to cope 🥺

LIKE LOOK AT THESE

Fatshark truly do be out here making the worst best games

[woeful patio]

I want that

Remember when the game was in development and they put out a blog post saying how Crafting wasn't quite ready because they were focused on improving it from Vermintide 2's, which they felt was too RNG and too grindy?

[torpid breach]

3200 and immediately fuck it in the next patch

[naive sonnet]

what weapons do people use for gunker builds? revolvers and ?

[vast yew]

Columnus

[torpid breach]

Laserpistol

[vast yew]

Columnus, Laspistol, and Revolver all work

[icy wyvern]

i reckon gunkers use uh

[woeful patio]

grumbles

[icy wyvern]

guns

[vast yew]

They do

just not Recon Lasguns

Fatshark please buff Recon Lasguns

[hearty oak]

[icy wyvern]

which do you reckon is better on voidstrike, surge/nexus or surge/transfer

[vast yew]

Surge/Nexus

[icy wyvern]

I'm thinkin if I'm running transfer and true aim, i'm not going to have to quell as often

thus more time shooting, more dps

[vast yew]

Surge/Transfer is better vs. Hordes, but falls apart the moment you need to kill a Crusher or deal Monster dps

also if you are in a situation where you can't line up True aim as well (shooting from above down) then your damage tanks

[icy wyvern]

meh

[south gull]

I dont even know if this is good or not . All I use is Mk4 duelling sword

[icy wyvern]

I'm just trying not to blow up

[vast yew]

That would be great except for Exorcist

[icy wyvern]

It's not awful

[vast yew]

you might have to swap Deflector for Slaughterer though

[south gull]

Probably just gonna stick with duelling, too used to 1 tap crushers and maniacs

[vast yew]

Illisi is mostly for Horde clear; good on builds that don't need melee to kill Crushers/Maniacs, such as Surge Staff or Voidstrike

if you're running something that can clear hordes but wants more elite damage (such as a Purgatus or Trauma) then you don't want the Illisi as much

That's where the Deimos shines, and of course the DS4 can be run on literally any build

[south gull]

meanwhile running it with surge

[vast yew]

I like the Illisi with Surge because slap on Slaughterer and left-click your way out of hordes

if mixed horde shows up you have the special attack to help out, and of course it's still a force sword so you've got godly stagger on the push attack

[south gull]

true

[silent coral]

it is done

[vast yew]

but you can 100% run a DS4 instead, because the DS4 is just a great all-rounder

[fresh reef]

so, update

it doesn't work on the female models lol

[vast yew]

sexism

[idle aurora]

everyone just saw you without torso?

[fallow dock]

Yo if I'm doing a crit build can bloodthirsty and riposte be good blessings?

Or nah

[cobalt bone]

im so happy for this

[vast yew]

on the Illisi?

[fallow dock]

Yeah

My b

[vast yew]

pretty sure Bloodthirsty + Slaughterer works out better

Slaughterer is kind of mandatory

[fallow dock]

Alr bet I'll try to get slaughterer, it's in high demand tho bc my other sword needs it too 😅

Ty

[vast yew]

good news: once you get it you can put it on both

(if they're the same kind of weapon)

There's also the funny but not as good Shred + Blazing Spirit Illisi

[fallow dock]

Wait that's hwo it works?

[cobalt bone]

zes

yes}

[vast yew]

which crits a lot and lights things on fire but does less damage than just running Slaughterer

If weapons have the same name after the "Mark xxx" bit of their name, they share blessing pools

[cobalt bone]

across characters too i believe

[vast yew]

So Deimos Mark IV Blaze Force Sword and Illisi Mark V Blaze Force Sword share blessings, because "Blaze Force Sword" is the same.

[bleak tulip]

you found a little guy

[cobalt bone]

awww look how happy he is

[fresh reef]

so it seems to work fine in the endscreen, and it cutscenes and such

[torpid breach]

I like having deflector on force sword, makes me feel like a jedi

[fresh reef]

just not in the actual mission, I think

[vast yew]

but "Equinox Mk III Trauma Force Staff" and "Equinox Mk IV Voidstrike Force Staff" do not share blessings, because "Trauma Force Staff" and "Voidstrke Force Staff" are different

[idle aurora]

I'll try it on oggy tomorrow

[vast yew]

I love Deflector, though it is ultimately less important than Slaughterer on the Illisi or Uncanny on the Deimos

[fresh reef]

I'm pretty sure it can be fixed by editing the lua a bit, but it'd need to run separately

and of course, finding the nude fem torso in the files for the proper pathing

[torpid breach]

True, there are more useful things if you wanna make em good, deflector is just a fun little thing

[vast yew]

I mean it's very handy for repositioning when the entire Moebian gunline shows up to shoot you and you don't have Dome

but getting the weapon to do what it's supposed to do comes first

[icy wyvern]

yeah, i suck

without venting shriek i just be blowing up

[vast yew]

I do not mean to be rude but that is the skillest of skill issues

you have to initiate an action that generates peril while at >97% peril to blow up

[icy wyvern]

"I dont mean to be rude"

is rude

[vast yew]

if you see dark red just stop, press R for a quarter second, then keep going

[icy wyvern]

lol ik ik

[vast yew]

[icy wyvern]

Sometimes it just like

boop!

100

[vast yew]

if you see 100 and you're charging a right-click you can stop and quell then go back into charging

[icy wyvern]

If I see it

[vast yew]

the only time it'll actually kill you is if you left click

[fading depot]

What mod is this? My scoreboard mod doesn't show me all that extra shit

[vast yew]

If you're using the mod that removes screen effects then you might want to turn Peril stuff back on

because the game screams at you when you're about to blow up

[fading depot]

My scoreboard looks like this

what's that one that gives all the extra shit

[icy wyvern]

ik ik ik

[vast yew]

it's probably Ovenproof

[fading depot]

like ranged vs melee damage

[icy wyvern]

i told you im bad

[vast yew]

If you're bad then practice quelling as soon as you hit, like, 80%

you'll kill your Warp Nexus/Warp Rider buffs but at least you don't blow up

[bleak tulip]

should be ovenproof yeah

[vast yew]

there's also some mods that show you what your peril is actually at, instead of the vague numbers that Fatshark gives you base

can help sometimes when it's ambiguous if you're going to go to 96% or 97%

but generally speaking, practice practice practice seeing where your peril is

spend a literal hour in the Psykanium practicing if you need to

[bleak tulip]

rule of thumb is mostly just not to left click when you're at 100, there isn't a lot of thing that aren't covered by that

can't think of any staff attack that you can't just technically use at 99

think it's just BB that's 97

[vast yew]

I think some of the charged left-clicks will kill you at 97 or 98

but it might just be BB

[bleak tulip]

even void can be fired until lik 99.8 or something

[vast yew]

yeah I've noticed Void is extremely generous at not exploding me

Trauma's done it a few times though

[woeful patio]

I wish there was a mod that disabled the sound on high peril

The VFX is fine, but the aaaaAAAAAAH can go

[ornate hamlet]

I have vague memories of it always being 97+%, but turned out pretty much everything just requires <100%

[vast yew]

I get scared the minute the first number is a 9 and just tap R to be safe

suboptimal DPS >>>> exploding

[woeful patio]

I’m an ascendant gamer and I live on 99%

My issue is that Force Swords and Staves especially are super fucked when it comes to certain actions

Like swapping weapons or using abilities

[ornate hamlet]

When the game eats your input and you fire the funny warp ball at 100%

[woeful patio]

Pressed 2 to swap to staff? Too fucking bad, you held RMB for 0.28s and now you’re blocking

[woeful patio]

THIS

It happens so often

[ornate hamlet]

Hate that shit

[vast yew]

the number of times I've blown myself up by trying to swap to melee and swing only to fire a force bolt is maddening

[woeful patio]

Except I don’t use voidstrike

[ornate hamlet]

Wish they gave swapping the most absolute priority

[woeful patio]

But yeah

100%

Make swapping number 1 priority

[hot epoch]

make blowing up the number 1 priority

105% warp charge hotkey please waiter

[woeful patio]

Blowing up needs to deal more damage

New Keystone and Blitz combination; Detonate yourself, if you kill 10 or more normal enemies or 1 elite, revive

Borderlands 2 Krieg build yeehaw

[vast yew]

Flak and uhhhhhhh

Maniac/Crit Chance?

[hot epoch]

Fucking, run up to the boss, Detonate yourself, revive, refuse to elaborate

[vast yew]

oh Booden was advocating for Elites as the 2nd

@glossy ember where's my Dreg Rager clip

Don't make me break your kneecaps booden

[stone narwhal]

So Surge Staff is best with Flak and Crit Chance? I was debating whether to use carapace or Unarmoured with Flak, but I guess Crit Chance makes sense.

[vast yew]

Flak is pretty mandatory, the 2nd option is up for some debate

[magic talon]

So do I just do quick play to level 30

I just started playing

[stone narwhal]

I'm using Flurry and Warp Nexus, so I guess Crit Chance would be optimal to really double down on crit.

[vast yew]

Booden was claiming he could 2-shot Dreg Ragers with 10% Elites though and he was supposed to give me a clip

then he fell asleep yesterday instead

[vast yew]

I still quickplay at Auric level because that sweet sweet 10% Plasteel boost

[magic talon]

When should I up difficulty from sedition

[fading galleon]

whenever you get bored

[vast yew]

but yeah generally; if you see a Low Intensity mission spawn maybe jump on that because they're easier and give extra rewards

yeah once you get your basic footing level 2 isn't too bad

[paper loom]

this any good?

does it need cleave dmg?

[magic talon]

Okay Ty

[vast yew]

It does not; it'd be best if it was a Mk4 but honestly that's a crazy roll

[stone narwhal]

Welp, that's what I just forged.

Pretty happy with it.

[vast yew]

hopefull Hadron gives you Uncanny and Maniacs

[magic talon]

I’m using staff what weapons should I try to use

[vast yew]

Jesus we got good rolls city today

[paper loom]

so worth buying

[vast yew]

you're even able to up the Flurry once you get a IV and can swap the Crit Chance if something else becomes meta

[vast yew]

at your level? everything

try everything out, see what sticks

force staves are going to SUCK at low levels because they have a lot of key stats tied to modifiers

like low-level Trauma staves are a nightmare

[magic talon]

Ok Ty

[paper loom]

bought it lets see how badly it gets bricked

[vast yew]

Praying to the Big E for Uncanny 4 and +25% Maniacs

[paper loom]

i already have 4 uncanny strikes too

annoyingly

[vast yew]

yeah but if it rolls Uncanny 4 naturally then you can put whatever you want as the 2nd option later

[paper loom]

yea

ive been a good sibling i desrve some luck

[icy wyvern]

i mean, voidstrike kicked ass the moment I got it

dude imagine getting blaze on a trauma lol

like imagine actually getting that blessing instead of wasting thousands of plasteel hahahaha

[pine shore]

Can someone explain how fire frenzy works? It's description in game is awful

[mighty cipher]

Voidstrike is easily the least dependent on its stats but you’ll still feel it like night and day between a good one and a bad one z

[harsh urchin]

both fire frenzy and deathspitter are pretty mediocre

basically tldr is, every time you kill an enemy closer than 8m (at 7m or less) you get a stack for a few seconds and each stack makes you do 10% more damage

with the exception of dumdum, on brautos and iags the blessing is the last thing you should optimize.

focus on the stats and perks first

[fresh reef]

@woeful patio update, tested it with a friend

the mod I found is clientside only

[woeful patio]

https://tenor.com/view/pirates-of-the-caribbean-death-goodbye-gif-23845288

[marble arch]

Malleus monstronum is.. like, a real pain

[mighty cipher]

It’s not that bad as long as your team doesn’t shoot the damn thing

[marble arch]

Getting a team is the hard part though

[mighty cipher]

Go look in the LFG of the server, you’ll find people

[marble arch]

Ye thats a good one, i'll see what i can do after this game

[mighty cipher]

And you only truly need 1-2 extra people, the bots do piss nothing to the bosses.

[vast yew]

@paper loom so did Hadron brick it?

[paper loom]

Haven't the plasteel to find out , don't worry I'm 100% sure itl be ruined

[ionic oriole]

what's the base crit chance of the mark 10 laspistol? I only have +10% crit chance on my build but I feel like im either really lucky in the psykanium or I am critting like 30-40% of the time

[thorn cedar]

20%

[ionic oriole]

that explains it

thx

[twilit cobalt]

So I am having a issue with getting a blessing on a staff. I have levelled dozens of voidstrike staffs and I have yet to encounter any with the surge blessing. Is there a pity system where if you have a certain number of staffs with perks they will start giving new ones or something?

[willow hazel]

it's t4 only. What base rating levels are you upgrading?

[twilit cobalt]

Typically 360-370

Still only getting at most level 2-3 blessings

And when I try to pull for new staves at the brunts armory I typically get in the low 300s, despite being level 30

Would having more transcendant weapons help push the scale upwards?

[humble bolt]

this is the best psyker build https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ad59964-545c-4697-b01a-78a3ca3f7d7a/best-melee-psyker?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button youre welcome

[harsh urchin]

If you're getting level 2 blessinga the base rating is too low

[twilit cobalt]

Thats the weird thing, the staves are typically 365-370 with some outliers

[harsh urchin]

Can you show an example

I've only seen lv2 blessings as remnants from buying from the armory, usually a full consecration from white wont hit it

On a high weapon

[near wyvern]

It can happen, I think I have had a tier 2 blessing come on a 370+ but it's freaking rare

Like I have seen it maybe once

[glossy ember]

sorry i wasn't home

let me do that

[twilit cobalt]

Unfortunately I scrapped them

[harsh urchin]

I think it's probably just confirmation bias then

[vast yew]

https://tenor.com/view/brayden-kneecap-gif-22311545

[harsh urchin]

Consecrate more high rating staves

[twilit cobalt]

Lately Brunt is only giving low level staves so I can't even do that... like 1/10 or less are above 350

[snow coral]

i think that's about right from my last binge on columnus rifles. I think I bought ~15 and one was a 360 and the other a 378, the rest were sub 350

[vast yew]

I’m pretty sure if you dropped the random node in the middle and the “quell peril” node from DD you could get PC

[humble bolt]

whats pc?

[vast yew]

Perilous Combustion

[humble bolt]

bruh

[twilit cobalt]

Does buying in bulk help?

[snow coral]

I wouldn't think so

there's no slider, it's all single purchases

[humble bolt]

does that do a lot of dmg i thought those wildfire stacks were pretty weak

[vast yew]

what do you know; 6 Warp Charges, 5 stacks of Perfect Timing, and 10% Elites and you do get to 2-shot dreg ragers

[glossy ember]

mauler

[vast yew]

nifty

[vast yew]

@near wyvern you seeing this

[twilit cobalt]

What on earth is this build

[glossy ember]

mauler needs 20% peril though

for warp rider

otherwise can't 2 shot i think

[vast yew]

that's a.. 78? 79? Damage roll Surge with 25% Flak and 10% Elites doing some nonsense

[glossy ember]

nvm you can

i just did in this vid

sorry my head is upside down right now

[vast yew]

nah all good thanks for the vids man

this is his staff btw: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1183872215637311538/image.png?ex=6589e9eb&is=657774eb&hm=dabd3ec85ce0d57546bf5b960d68acbf3b0168a0a277ac5db77b52f06e6230fd&=&format=webp&quality=lossless

[twilit cobalt]

Do you know what build he is using?

[vast yew]

Warp Siphon, Perfect Timing, Warp Rider

or y'know there ya go

[twilit cobalt]

Cool

[vast yew]

Ignore the Scrier's in the middle that's just Booden being a little quirky

[glossy ember]

ugh

[vast yew]

he do be the guy to talk Surge staff to though

dude's a conneiseur

[glossy ember]

im autistic for the staff

[cosmic sigil]

dumdum is only on iag tho

[near wyvern]

I have so many questions...

• why warp expenditure when you can take quietitude for double the effect
• why full assails with gaze when you are not going to take EP, drop at least the quick shards
• why battle mediation when you have no warp resist increases, that does nothing for you really, maybe extends the gaze by 2 seconds due to the low proc chance, just ditch it and pick perilous combustion which is super strong
• why purloin providence? That's on average 3% peril quelled per DD target killed which is absolutely nothing
• why no puppet master, it's such an easy talent to access, especially if you drop the quick shards and that purloin providence

[humble bolt]

because i dont know psyker very well, thanks for the feedback gonna make some changes

[twilit cobalt]

I feel you. I had a insane build that was just lightning everywhere, with smite and the surge staff.

[near wyvern]

Yes I have listed blitz cancel under surge

[vast yew]

No I meant the 10% Elites letting him 2-shot Maulers and Dreg Ragers

[near wyvern]

Not constant tho and seems to be gated behind crits anyways

[glossy ember]

high damage roll rather

[near wyvern]

Crits are super important on surge

[glossy ember]

than crit itself

but well

same difference at this point

both gachas

[vast yew]

he's hitting for over 1000 non-crit, and Dreg Ragers have 2000 hp

[snow coral]

lol I was just stuck on a ladder. had a plague ogryn above me and a lot of mutants below. They couldn't touch me, but I was screwed no matter which way I went

[near wyvern]

You might enjoy some reading then, new sibling

[near wyvern]

On flak

[neat sand]

did they fudge with the surge staff Again ? my damage had fallen off the chart today

[glossy ember]

no on maniac

[near wyvern]

Dreg ragers are maniac

[vast yew]

Yes, and he hit for 1088 with no crit

[cosmic sigil]

elite maniacs to be more precise

[vast yew]

that's why I was asking if you saw it lmao

because that seems like it could be worth

[near wyvern]

You gotta provide the context!!!

[humble bolt]

ohhh are u the guy who made this? i skimmed thru this and is where i got the idea to use laspistol + scrier to melt bosses, this is good shit

[glossy ember]

maniac clip

[near wyvern]

It's gone now, columnus + scrier is new boss king cause they reduced the laspistol fire rate

[tawdry pasture]

we just had a triple simultaneous crash

wildin

[cosmic sigil]

why purloin providence? That's on average 3% peril quelled per DD target killed which is absolutely nothing > can you explain that pygex, because reading the nodes is't that useful

[vast yew]

20% x 15% = 3%

[midnight cove]

Whats the meta for trauma staff? Haven't touched it since super early leveling

But kinda wanna try it out

[vast yew]

Trauma goes Blazing Spirit/Warp Nexus or Rending Shockwave/Warp Flurry

[cosmic sigil]

oh i'm stupid lol

ME SE BIG NUMBERS SAHBLING

[midnight cove]

Would probably prefer the latter

Flurry is addictive

[near wyvern]

@glossy ember do you have kinetic presence or the +5% ranged node as well?

[vast yew]

the former is better but it requires a good Truama roll or it has some issues

[humble bolt]

i still used it after the laspistol nerf and yea the dps isnt as high but i still find it fun and overall i just like the aesthetics of laspistol for psyker over an autogun. i think it still works

[vast yew]

the flurry/rending is easier to build and works if your staff isn't too great

but blazing spirit is some serious shit on Trauma thanks to the massive AoE

[near wyvern]

Try the new laspistol, the hip fire on that is crazy altho it has even less monstrosity dps

[glossy ember]

da build

[midnight cove]

That's a fair point

I suppose you could even get some true aim value if you melee weave a bit

[vast yew]

you... could but generally True Aim is better left to Voidstrike

[midnight cove]

Yeah fair

[tawdry pasture]

blocked reported

[vast yew]

plus with Trauma you can fire it at your feet to do "melee"

[midnight cove]

Ye

[tawdry pasture]

eated choccy

[near wyvern]

Aight so since we can't guarantee one shots on gunners even with +flak/+unarmour I believe we have a new winner +maniac +elite damage

So that guarantees two shots against all human sized elites, right?

[vast yew]

+Flak +Elite for Surge, yeah

[glossy ember]

unarmour doesn't do anything

[vast yew]

needs 6 Warp Charges and 5 stacks of Perfect Timing but you'll get those easy

[glossy ember]

for elites

[vast yew]

It used to back when Surge randomly hit Gunner heads

[near wyvern]

I mean this is just using your staff in any way

[vast yew]

Yeah exactly

[glossy ember]

so it's flak then luck out on elite/maniacs/unyielding/carapace because all of those will lower some breakpoints

elite being the most versatile i feel

[vast yew]

With Elites hitting both Dreg Ragers and Maulers that feels like the overall winner cuz Carapace and Unyielding probably aren't going to functionally matter as much

[glossy ember]

with a high damage roll you can one shot gunners but well... basically more luck than hitting a crit

[near wyvern]

So 10% elite is enough for dreg eager two shot but is it also enough without the +5% ranged node and warp rider @glossy ember ? If it's not it's still fine I just gotta mention it in the guide

[glossy ember]

i can try without

want me to remove warp rider?

and 5% node

[near wyvern]

Yes

[glossy ember]

ok gimme a sec

[vast yew]

Wonder if 80 damage roll would make a difference as to whether or not the 5% node matters

though I guess if you're going Shriek you could always flip to the 5% Elites aura and still hit the breakpoint

[glossy ember]

no warp rider no 5% ranged damage node

[glossy ember]

can't 2 hit maulers

[near wyvern]

Ok so we need at least warp rider?

[glossy ember]

can 2 hit ragers but need one high roll... so rare

lemme try warp rider

[near wyvern]

And some amount of peril dependant on the quality of the stat rolls

[vast yew]

hmmm interesting

[near wyvern]

@glossy ember ping me or DM me the warp rider results, gotta go sleep now, will check and do the edits tomorrow and give you the credit for testing surge
