yeah malice teams make me sad
ik that's coming from me with like 600hrs but
Shieldgryn to tank aggro, Psyker to lock down Elites, the other 2 dps stuff
I don't care how much cheese it takes, I can't take pugging in Auric without the secret hard mode badge 😔

You can (almost) guarantee your blessings on Surge by re-blessing your first blessing to Terrifying Barrage before rolling orange.
Heresy and Below Squads perform worse than Damnation Swuads
(assuming it was not T4 Nexus or Flurry)
Honestly pretty clever
I mean T3 Nexus and Flurry are only a tiny bit worse
Surge is the easiest staff to get peak for that reason
and if you rolled one of them you guarantee the other
if you don't rebless the first blessing
it's funny that damnation squads are so comfortable with the game that half the time they aren't even in coherency and still clear the mission
you love to see it
if you rebless the first blessing to Terrifying Barrage and then accidentally roll Hit & Run you're crying
Heresy is the player filter because if you can rise above the terrible teammates you’re ready for Damnation
Yeah, it's true. I just mean if you want an absolute peak Surge staff, you only need to roll 1 good perk, and you're (very likely) good.
Yeah, although Booden's been doing some spicy research on the benefits of running Flak/Elites as your perks
with the right setup you can 2-shot Maulers and Dreg Ragers
Yeah, i run flak or maniac, and elite.
Get out
what's so good about trauma
congrats FANATIC
i know it's good aoe and control
Two ways to build Trauma: the easier way is Rending/Flurry
Puts crushers on they knees
this deals good elite damage and softens them up for your team
while having great stagger
That's great! I knew Psyker could do it!
chaxe is chaxe
You’re not welcome here anymore
It is very high damage as well. It's the strongest staff, by some measures.
smh
Stinky Bible Boy
they had a psyker already
also very respectable damage, especially if built with wildfire
Go use knife
so I swapped to zealot
the harder way to build Trauma, as in it requires better RNG with Brunt/Hadron, is Nexus/Blazing Spirit
This deals slightly less Elite damage in exhange for wiping out entire hordes with 0 effort
Siblings, cast testicular torsion on the intruders
I swear by Blazing Nexus Trauma
Seeing an entire horde light up in blue fire is orgasmic
Blazing Trauma is some cracked jank
It’s the only staff I’d recommend Blazing Spirit on
going from flurry to fire trauma is so hard bc i'm used to absolutely spamming out my trauma 😭
but it does real good work
It’s the only staff weapon I’d recommend Blazing Spirit on
True
absolute best class in the game tbh
most unique mechanics
Blazing Illisi is funny but not exactly great lol
Blazing Spirit needs some help
I used Blazing Illisi and it isn’t the way Chief
It looks sick as fuck tho
But it really isn’t that good
I know right, Flaming Sword
It’s still an Illisi but wasted blessing
I saw someone do insane damage as a Psyker and the single shot headhunter Autogun. I am curious
It's sick as hell, but you need to avoid headshots in hordes 😐
Anyone who wants a demo of what Blazing Trauma can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yk3r1ejk5PQ
Just Blaze Trauma things.
Patch 1.2.13
Archivum Sycorax · Espionage · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet (Melee Scab Enemies Only)
Loadout: MK IV Duelling Sword / Blazing Spirits Trauma
00:00 Build
02:17 Game Starts
guys is it possible to solo kill the demonhost as psyker
Right this way sir #veteran-class
It was great before patch 13 and it may be great now I just don't know how
yes; you wait for 2 of your teammates to die and it leaves
Sure if you have 10 minutes
Just weave a hit after every combo
Revolver....
hm i feel his attack patterns are hard
otherwise you use a Dueling Sword 4 and be perfect
They aren’t
there is not much of a possibiltiy
The windup swing is a 1s window for hits
Columnus/Laspistol/Revolver all work
You can also deal damage while dodging
he has 4 fast hits and 1 hard then pause am i right
Vraks Headhunter works too IIRC
But what skills do you take?
with gun yeah
GUN?
Assail/Crit Aura/Gaze/DD or EP
Hmm l will look into it
Imagine playing vanilla vet when you could just play vet with Assail
how u dodge and deal dmg with staff
for DH? you don't
you pull out your melee and start dancing
If you wanted to use a staff you'd need to be dodging around a box
But your dps would be shit
but this guy literally aimbotting
Dancing around a box is the easiest way to solo a DH
oh that guy's using a Headhunter right
You don’t deal damage with a staff on Daemonhost stinky
Force them to teleport, you get some free hits in
Use force sword or meta saber
that's gonna do better than a staff because you don't have to sit there charging it
^
i use ds4
... maybe Surge staff could fire off charged shots around a box
but that's the only one
If you’re fighting a Daemonhost and your first instinct is to use a staff you’re an assail user
Sorry 😔
i am not
Anyways normally with Psyker you use the amazing dodges of your DS4 or Deimos combined with Kinetic Deflection to tank it forever
and let your team kill it
Well, if you're alone you can wake up all the DH's you want
they leave if there's only 1 player left
If you’re alone you could just avoid it
nah you do the baller move of just running through the zone
Why are you so intent on pissing it off?
they wake up and immediately leave
surely one day we'll be able to RMB while sprinting

siblings, where would u put last avaliable point?
PC
but that build is a bit scuffed
I know
Warp kills grant toughness
i'd remove the movement speed
because Warp Siphon doesn't give Gaze Cooldown reduction
and the toughness node
First left node
and kd
i just think i fight the wrong way if im in melee
never 
HERESY
im often dodgin and blocking the same time
Staff Psykers are the only Psykers
what primary weapon are you using here btw
I wanna play a tanky Gunpsyker
illisi combined with surge 
based
oh well then listen to Booden
he's the only one mad enough to run that here
he can help you

I use Illisi and Surge smh
Booden I'm maining Vet/Ogrn after patch 13 they fugged my Shredder Psyker. Look what they did to my boi 😭
do you use it with Gaze and Warp Siphon
Because Booden does
since you wanna keep KD and movement speed from scrier
Booden's a madman
we have so much in common, we truly must be siblings 
I refuse to touch the right side of the tree because assail has tainted it
BB gamers rise up
but fyi mettle and scrier movement speed don't stack according to aethenum
wtf
i dont understand the attack pattern of the DH, most of the time its - - . . . . .
but sometimes its - - - . . . . .
Yeah but who are you going to trust:
- stinky steam guide
- random discord user
Trust me bro it stacks ❤️

rip bro..
I'd love to make a gunpsyker that also does a lot of Soulblaze damage, apparently not possible anymore
Venting Shriek
But with soulblaze modifier
Yes , I'll be sure to max peril before using VS on my Gunpsyker
Using a gun was your first mistake
They took it from me fam
Using “lots of damage” and “soulblaze” in the same sentence was your second
May the emperor forgive you
For I will not
guns, how uncivilized
imagine wagons
It's more than the gun nerf, they got rid of Wrack & Ruin
Not an issue considering I exclusively use staves
I don’t even know what Wrack and Ruin was
It never existed for me
Well then I'm sad for you my friend
I'll have my revenge. Revolver = easy way to kill elites .... Then elites start Soulblaze stacks... Then I.... Uhhh
Nope they ruined Shriek by making it require high peril
BrainBurst 🧠
Ooo
join sg 
It's a silly argument, if Fatshark wanted us to play staff they would make a new staff
Psyker got a lot of ranged weapons in the last patch
Fatshark put firearms in the common pool to weed the weak from our ranks
I use my most powerful spell. Bullets.
In the upcoming penance update anyone with a firearm equipped on Psyker will have the ability to use staves permenantly removed
For clearly you don’t deserve them
You will be reduced to baby Veterans but with no benefits
And I dunno what you mean by lots of ranged weapons in the last patch, we got a single revolver variant?
If you're limiting your psyker builds and play to staves only, that's your choice. You're effectively ignoring half the skill tree if you do that.
Heavy Las as well
That's a lot compared to the number of new staffs since launch
Which by all means, you do you. But shaming a psyker for using gun is just uncalled for.
I'll use my blitz so I can both be a wizard and have my gun lmao
Like unlimited blitz is another one of Psyker's main features, not just the staff
just take assail and shoot warp bullets and real bullets too
Use assail if I want to damage Poxbursters right when my teammates are trying to push them
Completely forgot this existed 
Overshadowed by all the terrible cowboy memes
I was thinking about possibly Surge + Shriek - then having a revolver for things that combo wouldn't deal with
But you know I'd probably fall asleep
Any good clearing sword that doesn't require you to spec into specific stuff
Illisi
illisi mk 5
Was it because the attack tech
H1L2 combo is 100% vertical and hits nothing but heads all day long
There's like optimal attack pattern for stuff so Im just wondering does it have that
spamming lights or heavies on it will both work also but heavy > light > repeat is better
Sound good, gonna grind that
anybody wanna help each other do the Malleus Monstronum Penance?
Tryna get the cool chestpiece
based montage king
secret tech
If you aren't out of control then you aren't in control
I had a dream that I rebuilt that build by replacing the Shredder with a braced auto
But alas, impossible
Oh my, this mod lets you access hadron from directly inside Psykanium.... how luxurious. https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/242
Hey does the pendant unlock on all characters? Or do I have to beat normal damnation on all my toons?
Don't worry you don't need to try to beat it on Psyker too
Praise the Emp’rah
Chorus zealot was already hard enough with randos
A build that heavily relies on randos is supposed to be hard lmao
Or rather it's hard and easy, since you are relying on them.
Sprint to maniac, uncanny to slaughter is what I'd do. Make it a mutie killer with extra horde clear.
Shared
not that great? sprint efficiency is w/e and mkv is mainly horde clear
Illy crits will shred a mutant, even if you don't use special
again, i made no changes to the blade, only consecrating it twice. i was also asking for suggestions of perks/blessing.
but crits from any other melee weapon would accomplish the same but have better patterns
I wish the original force Sword was worth using
I like deimos when using purg
pretty sure you want Slaughterer
anyone down to do the Psyker Penance for the legendary chestpiece?
Obscuris walked so Deimos and Illisi could run
Gone but not forgotten
OG Beta Blade
should be account wide
its how you can run penance gear on a lvl 1 character
penances are account wide
you do not have to re-do penances if it doesn't specify a class
thinking of changing warp flurry for surge, ranged weak spot for carapace. thoughts?
they deserve to be shamed
a lot of gunpsykers i've seen play exactly like the only-smite psykers
you want to have blessing combinations on vs
either surge + nexus or flurry+transfer
you either go crit vs or non-crit vs
hybrid just ends up being trash
there's also blitz + melee choices you get to make depending on how you want to play
ie: run and gun, hold a point, mostly vs, vs+assail, etc
so im using this one already on my smite + mkiv dueling sword build, mostly play support psyker style
was just trying to see if i could get a better voidstaff or atleast somewhat different, ofc hadron rolled me the same blessings lel
ye keep trying haha
voidstrike pool is p small
you'll get what you want eventually
what are go to blessings on the mk4 duelling swords
Behold the great power of the warp
riposte and uncanny strike do very well for me
Wait, for changed destiny, if teammates kill the enemy, it doesn't count?
yes lol
Awesome. into the bin it goes lol
are bosses unyielding armor type?
it's not terrible
im gonna replace opening salvo with headhunter but im not sure what perk to replace?
on voidstrike and gunpsykers where you can just stack the DD with assail
but yeah it's pretty niche
the perks actually might be ok as is
check the breakpoints against unarmored/flak head shotgunners,gunners,ragers
well im definitely not replacing deadly accurate
and see if you need it
so i can change one of them
if you don't need either, you can change to unyielding or maniac
but if it hits BP on gunner or shotgunner
i would just leave it as is
well bosses are unyielding right?
the unarmored definitely hits the BP on gunners
which is pretty nive
nice
i also one burst the flak gunner to the head with 495 per shot, does anyone know if removing the 20% to flak armour will ruin that breakpoint?
its 495 495 212 to him
try with a white version of the gun
or use breakpoint calc
@near wyvern thanks for ur work maintaining your atheneum
ok flak is necessary
enables oneshotting reg flak gunners and one bursting elite flak gunners
lmao
This worth getting as a gun psyker?
i have 1 refine/rebless left. should i get warp flurry IV or replace one of the perks with a 25% bonus?

dang why the chats so dead :O
I blame @digital narwhal
best blessings for deimos force sword? not familiar with force sword blessings
you want uncanny on deimos
unstable, slaughterer or deflector as 2nd blessing i guess
should i rebless or refine that surge staff? which would be more beneficial?
unarmored isn't meta anymore
So replace that with something of your choosing.
whats the thought on if i wanna do soulblaze build but i dont wanna use BB? i like purge staff but dont wanna give up on wildfire node if i go assail bc i think BB is kinda bad compared to the other two blitz
wildfire is kinda useless 🤷♂️
So....
Worst part of assail is not having psychkinetic aura honestly.
Did assil get balanced?
Still really strong for relatively little effort.
Ahh guess I'll go in an try my old build, used to be able to solo everything, guess I'll see if I still can
Pray to the emperor that Hadron doesn't brick.
keep in mind the hand cannon bug got fixed.
It's an obscurus so
NBD if it's bricked
worth picking up from melk for the blessings?
@quasi grotto yes grab uncanny strike
Uncanny strike is a must have for dueling sword

how good is this/respec?
2 free perks is nice for surge.
Change em to whatever.
Swap crit Chance for maniac, swap unyielding for flak
swap mankar
Speak not, shit taster.
mald
maid
owo

Is there a passive crit boost with laspistols?
they've got +15% base crit chance
oh snap
ikr
better than I expected
no wonder infernus puts in the work on my psyker
I love the og, but I have yet to get a decent heavy variant, is it any good?
I've only used it on vet so far but the new laspistol can one shot headshot the shooter trash and whatnot
oh nice
I don't know how their DPS compares but I prefer the new one if only for usability (not having to click as much, and I don't like the fullauto mod)
and the higher variance cuz crit based weapon and slower fire rate
but it is what it is
I could one-shot a scab rager with a crit weakspot with max focus stacks on vet, (and +elite/+weakspot on the tree and as a perk)
so it looks to be faring well
though that's with their nerfed HP tbf
That's nice, but I hate focus
unfortunate;y i think it's a badly designed perk and I'd rather use none of the keystones atm
if you have some points in the left side, I do think it's a good investment for the laspistol cuz of its finesse multipliers
Focus target is nice, but I just don't enjoy it, but the right tree is good because of the switch hitter builds
@spice veldt have u beat the new fight yet
crab said the raw dps is the same
this is in my shop right now for 17k dockets, what the hell is with the stat distribution.
godroll
The freaking memory leaks are getting me this patch
11% warp resistance, but everything else above 70
hell yeah
warp res on deimos doesn't matter because the special sucks
it being low means u can get to high peril faster
i get that, but it just looks so goofy
not in hard mode cuz I haven't dared to attempt it yet
hard mode isn't that bad once u know what ur doing
Unstable Power ftw
NOOOOOOOO the shop reset literally as i was posting the screenshot
how much does the damage stat matter on purg staff? seems like burn is the only stat that matters between the two
we can probs do it tomorrow if u want
i've helped a couple people now and it only took 1-2 tries
damage is generally the dumpstat on purg
ye Saturday/Sunday
I'll be hopping along with masteryoshi as well
it doesn't do much of anything since its only the actual damage from the weapon and not burn
Psykers. Shoot fast penance. Cheese me
when i did it with mankar/dough/cera we got it first try and i was the only one who had beaten it
the fight is more of a knowledge check
elite patrols spawning from the walls is spooky but I can probably live past that
I might need your help in two weeks when i do it
Cant do it now cuz too busy
stay towards the center
always look around
tag key is a godsend

just shoot me a ping
i dont want ppl to have to deal with the stupid bell puzzle
I tried doing challenge mode with pubs and it was such suffering
are you talking about the special assignment? whats the bell puzzle
there's a bunch of bells, have to hit em a certain number of times to unlock hard mode
if someone's already beaten it they have make a bell spawn at the start of the map you can hit to skip it
do you get anything extra for doing it?
Your pp gets a little bigger
You get a penance and a cosmetic dangler
special insignia
and a penance yeah
And a bigger cock yeah
oh cool
I've never seen a 10% before
Does the combat stimm increase burn damage?
what's everyone running for hard mode twins?
I found Voidstrike, Smite and bubble got me the furthest in pugs.
Only played a bit today though
best autogun for crit psyker?
columnus V
thoughts?
What is the best perks and blessings for deimos force sword?
Im gonna run flurry + surge on this for a true aim crit dmg build. Which perk should I change?
hmmm
its a 3 percent differance at the end of the day, when at 3 stacks, i dont think its worth it
good dmg is more important
soooo unyielding to flak i guess? @foggy tree
go for it
Hey, @potent echo, what which perk would you change on the void roll above if youre running flurry + surge?
this isn't salvageable is it
I might also ask @bleak tulip :^)
elite dmg is nice, so definately salvageable, its not optimal tho
yeah I was thinking I could do something but it wouldn't be the best.
doesnt have to be the best
true
what perk should i change
10% damage differance is not gonna win you the clutch game 99% of the time
this could be nice for bosses, so unyielding perhaps?
Greetings siblings. Where is the good theory crafting happening these days?
want the most op build none talks about, but legit can go trough everything (but do boss dmg)?
Revolver for elites
Venting push with flames
Empowered psyonics with elite charge
you can keep entire rooms, hordes, elites etc the fuck all constnalty stunned and your venitng push WILL KILL THEM
caues of the flame
head tap a shotgunner
and continue zapping
the 3 stacks of burn from the kill will spread around and increase the dot effect by aton while keeping everything in its palce
those are all auric games, smite wont let you down as long as you dont elt down of the smite either, use the revolver to kill all and any elite that appears, for your empowered psyonics, and then ZAAAAAP
what u got on the revolver?
you can 2 tap any elite, and 3 tap crushers with surgical
all those missions are auric
this was the missing game i got with smite and a VERY GOOD TEAM.
smite excells on CROWD CONTROLL, so ZAP up ot 80% , ventpush while STILL KEEPING THE SMITE UP
and you will instaclear all hordes of the boss too
btw maze quick question, is unyielding perk redundant on a voidstrike compared to maniac perk?
ugh
Because of uncanny?
htis build lets you use 100% of your peril cause smite wont ever explode while casting. and u will always be able to use ALL of it,
the revolver, does that
its better than any assail at killing elites/specils
do you mind sharing talent tree?
Is voidstrike inferior for boss dmg?
aight psykers
i know why you explode
youre trying to remember the Donkeys name from Shrek
here
im making a crit psyker video rn :3
basically yes
Why even use the gun, just literally spam smite.
1 mob alone in a room? Smite.
Boss? Smite.
Just you and your team in an elevator? Smite.
🙂
SMITE SMITE SMITE SMITE SMITE
like better ranged than a vet, insanely high dps compared to even crit knife zealot, easy revives with inf stamina
is better than anything eles
Jokes aside, doing a smite-only run was actual torture.
its hilarious
none uses the build i posted, they always have a warp sword or warp staff
so they never have full peril for a propper smiting
smite, revolver, smite
I'm 99% sure smite actually lowers your team's DPS, but that's what makes it fun.
it doesnt
look at this .
smite + venting push with fire.
I just posted a smite only run, I don't need to "look".
What I noticed a lot of time was that I ruined headshots, cleaves, etc.
will outdamage your entire team with it, and with a revolver u also out kill elites and specials
lets your team do something else
I don't think I outdamaged them through damage, but through making it harder for them to kill things.
5 recent crit psyker games teehee
Try to really pay attention during smite, and see how your team DPSes and reacts.
u kill entire hordes anyway
uhhh is maniacs dmg good on voidstrike for breakpoints?
400 enemies killed during this hardmode etc etc damnation thing
But a lot of that is flaming shriek
based and gunpsycher killed
you look like a fancy cookie or an unwrapped muffin.
LMAO
hmmm
reckon if I slide with this gun I'll end up moving backwards somehow?
I bet this is a knockoff gun made in Cadia, they probably put lead weights in the housing
aye yo don’t try any of those cadia stimms
Hey, @untold widget, what perks would you run on a voidstrike with flurry + surge?
Whats the best melee weapon on psyker? I can't find one I like so what's the most meta
I was thinking just going chainsword
probably dueling sword mk4 for mobility and weakspot/boss damage or illisi/deimos force swords depending on what you're lacking on the ranged weapon
I was gonna go with void strike staff while I use smite and bubble
what blessings ya got on the void?
Nothing good yet, my psykers not even 30 yet I just wanna know where I'm headed
I dont main psyker but I wanna have a good psyker if you get me
another day of crit psyker soloing two hordes and a chaos spawn on auric damnation and stroking my Cool Gamer Ego..........................................................
why play any other class when crit psyker outputs so much damage AND is really fun / mobile
which weapon
i got very lucky with a nearly perf sword
yet ive spent millions on a good knife for my zealot :c
does that 5% goes to your other weapon too?
nope just the sword
old heavy las!
i wish they didnt nerf the firerate due to people using it as a primary, it was really good as a quick dps burst before swapping back to melee but now you gotta hold it out for longer
How do you name weapons?
mod
what mod?
sec i get name
thanks!
ty 2
i really hope they dont nerf crit psyker cause like
its probably the best in the game but its really tough to use
cause you kinda die in one shot as soon as stamina breaks
and ragers still poop on you
i think smite is better
moslty for the CC
u dont kill bosses
but nothing can damage your team
smite's good just really boring and cant do single target-
yeah
well when i say boring i mean
i have horrid adhd movespeed gamer brain and gotta be at max stimulation at all times when playing darktide
revolver kills elites, starts spreading flames cause of that one talents that makes everything burn around
Probably whatever your favorite damage types are. Do you have both blessings naturally rolled and can pick both perks?
wait I think I see it. the Unyielding maniac flurry run'gun one? If you're keeping flurry 3 and changing run'gun to surge, then I'd probably take Flak over unyielding
just phased through a stair as I was trying to get out of a gunner LoS
gunner shot me to death while I was stuck in place
up until that point I had a 0 damage taken A5HISTG going
what do you guys think of chainsword on psyker?
too many better options
Hello siblings, has anyone beaten the twins secret hard mode? Any builds you recommend for that?
does illisi really outclass this for horde clear?
i beat it, basicalyl my team was all boss/eliet damage ogryn gunlugger and fast atackspeed and a veteran with plasmagun
zealot with prayer, vet with shout
and i was psyceher
smite = revolver
ayy congrats,
Juicy
Smite mauler just to have the vet and zealot ignore it lol
smite is great
legit
i won first try with it when i got afull squad here
the ogryn, vet and zelot manage to focus the elites while i provided constant stuns on the entire field
we skipped ot the booss battl
at the end of the game we had killed 400 enemies
i stunned them 6.2k time
😔
guess we sticking with the
Yeah I think smite is overall pretty good. I still get a fair amount of kills with the MK IV dueling sword and surge staff too.
Pretty easy to solo stuff with the MK IV dueling sword due to the stun cheese of it
Decent knoife for my psyker.
Not a fan of knife on Psyker, but still a nice roll
I guess its more dot considering ds4 doesnt have a dot 
I like knife on Void builds, quick and easy way to reposition to find better lines to delete
the new mk6 knife push stab also fucks so hard
is it okay that dodging bosses in meat grinder is much harder then in actual game?
It does with combustion. 
timing is ever so slightly different because of ping
its not slightly different its tight as a virgin's bussy
nope
you could make a good rending shockwave trauma staff out of that though
or even blaze if you change both blessings
either way good staff 
@orchid venture
best best voice for psyker in your opininion
seer male
hes the most interesting
Very good rolls, you're right
which planet
planet doesn't matter when making a psyker
i think the seer you new to darktide?
now before
you choose
another good one is the german one
that one is really good hes just a massive dick and insults everyone
its funny
loner
no i havent played psyker but i will once i finished leveling my vet to thirty pskyer will be my forth char
female seer is the rarest psyker voice, and imo one of the best
yeah loners cool
male still tops
shes nice but male just has that better twang to it
when every man and his dog pick male seer it can get old
my native tongue is a local swissgerman dialect thats why its easy for me to pick out german accents
nah burn is too low but you can take the flurry blessing if you want
Burn is way too low
almost. the burn stat makes it unusable. burn is the main stat. crit chance is good and flurry is always good. Would need good burn and replace terrifying with Warp Nexus.
Burn affects the total stacks that Purgatus can apply
and thus it directly affects your damage potential
meanwhile Damage just affects the measly impact damage of the flames, and so usually Damage is the dump stat

it's considered the weakest staff atm
not bad but not great
you can still make it work in auric ofc
It's workable, but the other Staves are just better
its really good imo. left click has high stager so youre protected from a horde rush, charge attack melts in the dps department. the only issue is range but a solution is brain burst, bubble shield, or good teamates
the stagger was nerfed since release
however it's probably the best horde clearing weapon in the game
Its one of the most user friendly i think because you can spam the left click for safety. it works on everything except crushers i think
highest boss dps of the staffs too
lol im trolling. thought i was looking at purg
yeah it's usually warp siphon or EP, distrupt is for gun psykers mostly
i feel like voidstrike is the riskiest staff because of getting rushed by ragers or a horde in a fanned out group.
warp nexus + blazing spirit with crit chance and flak perks on a trauma staff that has minimum 78 in all the important stats
thats a blaze trauma 
whats the best build for psyker
There is no best build for any class
You have to specify what you want to do, what weapon you want to use
Sooooooo....Unyielding -> maniac, riposte -> slaughterer? Is that a good path here? pretty decent roll
I have fun with DD void DS4. The minigame is pretty entertaining, and highlighting stuff is useful quite a lot of the time.
plus you get to see the wonky pathing that shooters take when behind cover. They be wildin' out there
and you can ability all you want without the fear of being punished by warp siphon
probably does less staff damage overall, but surge mostly makes up for that
opinion on final change?
up crit chance or replace damage to elite?
carapace maybe instead of damage elite?
The meta is smite, but you can run brain burst or assail too. Smite is typically the most helpful for auric damnation, but you can still use brain burst or assail there. Assail I find pairs best with a revolver.
Tried couple of times today just for the lulz. People are going all pikatchu.jpg when they die instantly and get to watch the rest of the match from inside the jailcell...
"why cant i be saved, wtf?!?"
Damn I did it wtf.
With the guy with green gun.
Ngl I had to try really hard and the ogryn was really good.
Knife laspistol and I had to use my hp booster on someone. 
Elite dmg is pretty good
Works on all the things that you want it to be good against
Up the crit chance imo
It's not my choice
, can't remember what mine was
lol you totally misunderstand the point of advice
I'd be interested to get some decent psykers to try twins hard mode as 4 psykers.
Too many ogryns and zealots run (they are op for this).
Oh lmao I guess change unyielding
lmao... my auric damnation run just got ruined... by a singular fucking sniper at the very last horde
Solo sniper just picked the whole team up one at the time -.-'
This was a hard challenge I set myself in doing it with randoms. Even used my hp booster on others such team player much wow.
Patch 1.2.21
Karnak Twins Hard Mode
Loadout: Mk VI Combat Knife / Mk II Heavy Laspistol
thank you 🙂
completed hardmode as a trauma psyker and succesfully taking all aggro from the elites and kiting them around and killing them mostly by myself and stabbing the bosses when i had time. worked great. dont understand why people rule out psykers in this fight
utility is underappreciated typically. until it's needed
I played laspistol assail for my run.
Cheers. Tbf it is much easier on zealot. Did my first run as zealot.
thought trauma psyker was legit good in this fight
What blitz did you use?
brain rupture which i dont use, just spamming trauma (flurry and rending)
and shriek ofc
and spamming duelling into the bosses at times for some good damage
With pugs it's always slow ttk on specials so I wanted something to kill special fast hence assail and laspistol
dont need to kill fast if you just CC them constantly and take all the aggro
and the trauma can still quickly kill the shotgunner groups
I tried a couple round on staves. Trauma and surge and it was a bit too slow. I'm confident it's a lot more doable with a proper group on staff.
But with random it's 
well yeah in this case i could rely on the team to dps the bosses while i gave them the room to do it
you are a masochist doing it in a pug
im still not running any keystones on vet
i like the idea of weapon specialist but eh
It's only good for revolver.
All other builds I run no keystone.
i guess focus target could work in this fight?
what builds you got on the laspistol and knife in this vid with the twins?
My regular gun psyker build. It's at the beginning of other gun vids.
havent seen you using the new knife and a laspistol yet i dont think?
Not on a full vid no.
I used ds4 and new laspistol in another. But the old one has superior dps.
i thought they fixed the handcannon bug on assail
Old assail with handcannon. Just use assail 95% of the round.
I was wondering what took you so long, and then noticed that only you and Ogryn stayed afloat 
what blessings you got on the laspistol? i see infernus so i guess dumdum too?
Infernos dumdum maniac unyielding
Knife is uncanny flesh tearer maniac unyielding.
I like unyielding on knife. The other perk flak or maniac both good. In this case I was stuck with maniac.
The new one is so much better for me. Better horde clear light and better push attack.
unyielding seems so limited, only reapers and bosses, why take it?
Yeah its for monster. But unyielding take extra damage from bleed so it really amplifies it.
Flak maniac is totally valid too just with bleed I can really do some damage to monster.
Something psyker lacks.
Yeah one zealot was pretty bad. He took a lot of ammo and dc then died. Don't know why I even used my booster on him.
Too nice I guess. 
Bulwarks, too

playing on malice?
No sedition.
After Vet i will leveling Psyker so what is the most consistent build for it? Preferably not single target focused
Do lightning builds have good CC?
Smite builds do have good CC on demand, but nothing less and nothing more. You have to compensate for that CC with some damage of sorts, and two force staffs do that greatly - Surge and Voidstrike
But honestly
guys what is the best psyker staff when it comes to pure damage?
Hello siblings, I am trying to do a penance for my beloved, the cliffhanger. Any tips you would like to share ?
I would advise against using staffs before you are lv30. Their effectiveness is highly dependant on modifiers
While levelling, you can use Assail and any gun you find on the way
That’s not to say you can’t use staffs, although you may end up disappointed with their performance
what are good weapons that pair well with assail?
Probably Voidstrike, but each staff can deal respectable damage in a certain way
what is voidstrike, is it a gun or melee. Sorry
I'm pretty new
Guns, generally. Maybe Voidstrike if you’re feeling adventurous, but Voidstrike builds are typically starved for skill points, and Assail requires at least one upgrade to perform well.
It’s a force staff
Okay thank you
If you don’t know what’s good or not, I would generally advise against asking what’s best if you don’t know what weapons are in Psyker’s arsenal
I don’t want to warp your sense of discovery and/or perception on some weapons
I heared of voidstrike but I wasn't sure which one it was
Best advice I can give is: test things as you go, see what you like
test builds in auric damnation like a true chad
This is the best proving ground, if you’re up for the challenge
If not, any difficulty goes if you’re having fun
people always talking about surge and voidstrike, why are you all sleeping on trauma?
dont even need smite for CC either
trauma does it all
requires a bit more skill to use well
We don’t sleep on Trauma, I think. Trauma is just blatantly overpowered in the CC department 
trauma has a much higher skill ceiling than the other staffs i think
but can definitely outperform the other staffs as a result
IMO Voidstrike is the most complex staff, but I played a lot of Trauma in my playtime as Psyker, if not the most, so I may be biased
trauma good but people don't seem to like using it or care to use it properly so I don't mention it much
trauma giving new psykers one of the worst first impressions doesn't help
i think it might be a leftover from when trauma was crap for most of the games lifetime
and it generates a lot of peril
traumas peril gen was buffed in january, and I doubt most current players are from that era
surge generates a lot of peril and I don't see much people remarking on that as a strong negative
how so?
They don’t want to use a weapon that requires constant maintenance for mediocre effect
as in you gotta roll 78+ on the important stats for it to be good at all?
It becomes much better at higher Warp Resist
charge rate scales from 2.5 seconds to 1 second
blast radius scales the epicentre from 1.5m to 2.5m, and the outer radius from 4m to 10m
i see, i received a near god roll trauma before i ever started using it so i have no experience with a lower rolled one
oops wro9ng one
i spectated a teammate doing some crazy shit with a trauma staff which made me want to use it, so my first impression was really good
hell yeah, I'm glad you got a good impression of trauma early on
those perks and blessings certainly wouldn't be my first choice on the revolver so it is what it is
i havent changed them yet i need to get good blessings so its as is still but i intend to change just not if it sucks right now
does trauma rending blessing work on twins?
i read it works on their helmets for weakspots
Can anyone dm me lightning leveling build?
Damn twins hard mode on vet is definitely something else.
I'm sleeping on the trauma staff because I have yet to get a high enough base rating for one that warrants further spending of materials on it 🙈
voidstrike with Transfer Peril Blessing can be pretty damn good tho
I am trying to do it on pubs and its fucking brutal
I did it in pugs on psyker.
Esp when even normal mode looks like this
Yeah im swapping psyker/zealot
i
have been thinking
that it'd be nice if gunpsyker has more ways to regen toughness
like how ogryn can regen boatloads of toughness by hitting people with 1 heavy
how vet can constantly regen toughness with confirmed kill
and how zealot can, well, be zealot?
and melee kill everything for toughness
Man I love shooting Columbus 😆
i mean gunpsyker regens toughness by spamming assail and then quelling?
might as well be assail psyker
than gunpsyker
in that case
i mean scriers gaze is kinda a meme
so i have surge blessing but that means i can only bless this 1 more time. should i go for crit chance or carapace?
whats the best assail aura?
carapace because true aim talent means you dont really need crit chance
thnx :>
uh, there is not really a "best aura" for blitzes
however i would say, seers presence, and prescience, are the two better auras
compared to everything else
probably go prescience and link into empathetic evasion, the one that allows u to auto dodge range attacks on crit
more crit is better for that void
Hahaha yeah he was a prick (stupid autocorrect)
crit technically
because you can get the 5% ranged damage node if you go crit anyway
so the 5% elite aura kinda meh
Where is my surge gazer meme hard mode video?
Are there any guides on how you should be playing gun Psyker? Like vids or something
Like the feel so far but think I'm not using it correctly
We love fire and forget
Sure, where can I find em?
Me when teammates start arguing in Russian. :|

That helmet makes the character sound like Imortem Joe, holy

Ok. Smite. Rmb or lmb or both?
rmb4lyfe
I do it the old way. Illisi + heavy + soulstealer.
what guns are you gunkers running in aurics?
the voidstrike gun
I modified/tweaked your Assail/EP build in there to my liking. It's become my favourite build now
critstrike build with DD its great, i usually get top damage with it
can 1 tap crushers on crits with some DD stacks
what does your staff look like?
p similar lol
IAG Mk5 Columnus seems to be the meta-pick right now. But I also very much like my Mk1 Kantrel Lasgun and think there's a hidden gem combo in there for a psylot style build.
i tried the ol' heavy pistol
the ROF nerf really sucks
usable but just. sucks
MG1a suffers from poor boss dps sadly
I want to test Mk7 Headhunter IAG but with Surgical + Deadly Accurate as the blessing combo. I think that has some play. I'm kinda focused on Assail weaving builds right now
Yeah I pair with Rashad Combat Axe to fix that
I'm basically toying with Mk6 Combat Knife and Mk 2 Combat Axe as my main melee right now
i believe you would get better mileage from Headhunter over surgical
Yeah I was thinking that too, I just don't have a decent HH blessing yet
Thoughts? What perks to craft?
Maniac, Flak, Crit are the general recommendations IIRC for an Illisi
If i want feel like palpatine how would i build my Psyker
Idk what the perks are or what your goal is.
Meta blessing are Slaughter and Uncanny. Slaughter + uncanny / deflector are what people generally go for. Unstable will also work.
idn, just any good weapon, i'm just got first 30 lvl
Gotcha. The Atheneum up in the pins has info on each weapon.
You sword doesn't have to be meta to be useable.
ty!
is it just me or did they make auric easier
psy opped
@plucky flax Have you beaten the twins on sedition yet?
Yes even in random quickplay using laspistol

Karnak Twins Hard Mode
Loadout: Mk VI Combat Knife / Mk II Heavy Laspistol
too hard
Two very useful zealots.

thats not sedition

thats damnation, ya silly goose
Also whats the mod that has your name centered on the bottom
I thought that was a mod in on itself
it is
even after the nerf laspistol still seems like the standout for gunkers
sounds like someone doesn't know about crit strings
what are crit strings?
lol why is that happening
crit strings, when a crit triggers the next 5(?) shots are crits, which pairs quite well with true aim
Custom hud or hud tweaker.
One of those mod let you move elements around.
Change unyielding and riposte? get maniac slaughterer? Better roll than I had before so seems worth investing on this one
Seems legit; could also go Deflector + Slaughterer if you wanted Deflector. But if you don’t then yeah your plan is great

Which one's the move?
Dmg is lower on the second but finesse kinda shit on the first, but they're just placeholders till I roll a better one
I would use the blue as-is and keep buying greys until you get a better roll.
either should work great. Upgrade one and see what you get
Is Disrupt Destiny (the rightside keystone) unfucked yet
last i checked the enemy marking was completely broken and definitely was happeing slower than "every second"
It does say that every second, enemies within 25m have a chance at getting marked
to be fair
hey does the flame staff for psyker apply soulblaze stacks?
like when you light enemies on fire?
oh ok it at first didnt seem to add soulblaze stacks
did they not light on blue fire?
it doesn't work like you think it does
