Huh

kindred ivy
#

we had a psycher with smite and void strike

#

he insisted oin using his staff most ofthe time

#

every time he smited we had leeway to do objetives

potent echo
#

Like smite will kill hordes at all

kindred ivy
#

we could go hard on the elites

#

it kiss

potent echo
#

Smite void is such a cope build

kindred ivy
#

kills

#

smite + flame push

#

will decimate hordes

#

instantly

potent echo
#

Well that's venting for you

kindred ivy
#

yeah vent + smite

#

will not only clear hordes

potent echo
#

You don't need smite

kindred ivy
#

ofc i do

#

it staggers

potent echo
#

Venting itself kills hordes

shell maple
kindred ivy
#

yeah what about the crusher, mauler, shotgunners, etc in the horde?

potent echo
#

You kill them with

willow hazel
#

Vent again

kindred ivy
#

CC is extremelly iportant

potent echo
#

Not tell your team to kill them

#

Yea nah

kindred ivy
#

stunning entire hordes of elites

potent echo
#

Stay cool smitekers

kindred ivy
#

or when the 7 crushers come out

#

you'll want smite

bleak tulip
#

I really wish they added a good blitz to the game

willow hazel
#

Nah, a melee weapon with Uncanny so the Crushers actually die to soulblaze damage

kindred ivy
#

ok, 1 cruhser

#

what about the other elites

#

or you can:
sotp every enemy in the map with smite

#

so your team can focus on damage

bleak tulip
#

idk I just void the crushers

untold widget
#

If the horde is on you, Void is not your option. If the horde is running towards you, void is the option

#

it's that simple

kindred ivy
#

if enemies exist

bleak tulip
#

and I say that as someone who runs smite in lieu of a better blitz existing

kindred ivy
#

smite wont let them move

#

and i say that as someone who runs smite revovler

#

and vent

untold widget
#

well of course you love smite, you run a gun that can't do shit against hordes

willow hazel
bleak tulip
#

just shoot the crushers then you have like the second best gun to do it with

kindred ivy
#

that cope

#

revovler kills elites

#

smite stuns them when they are too dense

untold widget
#

Staves ensure they aren't too dense

kindred ivy
#

like when the gang of maulers, curhser, rager etc etc

untold widget
#

most of them anyways

kindred ivy
#

they are

untold widget
#

surge notwithstanding

willow hazel
#

Isn't the revolver already strong against Crushers?

kindred ivy
#

yeah the revolve ris my elite killer

#

so i can smite

#

the flames that spread from elites will damage the horde, the smite wont let any enemy move

#

and my team can play more agressive

#

and clear shit faster

untold widget
#

I just run purg and DS4

#

everything dies

bleak tulip
#

you'd clear shit faster if you did damage instead of smiting

kindred ivy
#

nah

untold widget
#

yeah

kindred ivy
#

i woudnt

bleak tulip
#

yeah

#

you would

untold widget
#

well you wouldn't, but we do

kindred ivy
#

nah

#

as someone who smited the twins, and auric maestroms and every auric misison

#

smite is very good

#

for your team to play

untold widget
#

its good CC

kindred ivy
#

yeah

untold widget
#

terrible damage

kindred ivy
#

that's the point

#

then u pew pew elites

#

iwth revovler

#

flames spread

#

and boom

#

everything dies

#

smite lets all that happen

#

without a single risk

untold widget
#

I just purge the horde and stab the crushers

bleak tulip
#

this is certainly one of the takes of all time

I guess i'll ignote this person now lmao

kindred ivy
#

a single elite kill into smite will proc enough flames to ocnsume a horde too

#

lel cope

#

i killed hardmode twins, auric missions etc

untold widget
#

and?

kindred ivy
#

the build is effective

untold widget
#

what you get carried through is none of our concern

kindred ivy
#

does good dmg, and supports my tea

#

"carried"

untold widget
#

you said it yourself, You smite so the team can kill

#

that's like

#

the definition of carried

kindred ivy
#

carried

#

am patricia btw

#

"""carried"

#

carried

#

carried yeah? i got carried right?

#

i got carried?

#

or i:
stunned, killed the horde, elites, etc etc/

untold widget
#

looks like you stalled and padded your green circles

#

while your team waited in elevators at the end of the mission

kindred ivy
#

nope

#

i didnt do that

#

cause i dont like wasting time

#

usually its a zealot wasting time

frozen osprey
#

I love wasting time it's my favorite activity

kindred ivy
#

i did well those missions, and now ur coping

rotund fable
#

mission reward gave me this thing.

shell maple
#

Smite Enjoyer vs BB/Assail Fan

tulip trench
kindred ivy
#

5 mnin into misison

rotund fable
ornate hamlet
#

I wish they gave smite assail charges so I stopped seeing people spamming that shit

#

But hey, smite does great when paired it with an infinite cleave DoT ability and the most powerful gun shared by the three human classes

#

Clearly it's a smite thing and not that the other two things are inherently some of the best things this game has to offer

kindred ivy
#

the CC + the elite kill makes flames

#

makes it unstopabble

ornate hamlet
#

My man, you're using fire shriek and revolver

#

You can deal damage with your monitor turned off

kindred ivy
#

didnt yall say i do no dmg?

ornate hamlet
#

Smite doesn't do damage

kindred ivy
#

well

ornate hamlet
#

You're using meta shit and preaching smite spam on top of it

kindred ivy
#

i clearly do

ornate hamlet
#

Jesus

#

Yeah, do whatever, it's your problem and people got tired of telling you why you're wrong

kindred ivy
#

yall went from i od no dmg

#

to

#

you are just abusing the meta

#

very quickly

#

from "your build does do dmg" to "you are actually just meta abusing"

#

this build lets me do all dmg + all the crowd controll

#

seethe cope, but dont smite , i'll keep winning my games, you keep coping

untold widget
#

you assume we don't smite, that's funny

#

we don't blow smoke up its ass, but it's got its place

ornate hamlet
#

Smite spam does no damage, you use fire shriek and revolver and then pretend smite is doing the work

idle plover
#

Jokes on you i only use smite and accatran lasgun

dusty otter
#

Jokes on you I just get thrown off the bridge by poxbusters

ornate hamlet
#

You got called out on massive bullshit and anyone that plays the game and has enough talent points to test smite in the psykhanium knows it deals no damage

untold widget
#

you don't understand

idle plover
#

Should it?

untold widget
#

it supports the team

#

who are all helpless baby seals without it

ornate hamlet
#

Fire shriek is one of the most powerful abilities in the game because you're stacking enough fire to kill a poxwalker on its own and then applying it in an area with infinite cleave and also going through walls

#

You're using what is essentially the most used special sniping gun and it's the most used for a very good reason

idle plover
#

Being able to force 4 crushers to sit there and get shot is incredible

ornate hamlet
#

But sure, it's the fucking smite getting you damage numbers

idle plover
#

That too

ornate hamlet
#

Smite is a great blitz and that has never been disputed, at least by me

idle plover
#

I am not too liking of bb

ornate hamlet
#

The problem is simply that it doesn't deal damage, someone is saying it does and that's wrong

dusty otter
#

Who would win, 1200 pounds of mutant at 45 mph or one sparky boi

ornate hamlet
#

People can speak positively of smite's CC all day long and people who can use smite well are some of the best players to have on the team because you know they have the good judgement of when to use smite and when to actually deal damage

#

And that, God fucking forbid, you can stun enemies to set up your own safe kills

#

Because the enemies on the ground don't need even more low damage lightning zaps

kindred ivy
#

šŸ˜Ž me when i kill most enemies and ranged elites + provide CC

idle plover
#

I smite so others may rampage

dusty otter
#

Is there a point to void strike atm? I can’t tell if my staves are just crap or if it really is that bad

idle plover
#

The orb launcher is ok

ornate hamlet
#

Voidstrike is particularly goated

kindred ivy
#

void strike is nice

ornate hamlet
#

But to get the truest funnies you need surge and for the big hitbox to not screw your headshots

kindred ivy
#

i dont liek the chargetime that is a bit too slow for me

ornate hamlet
#

Because sometimes you can fire straight into a dude's head and not hit, sometimes firing above works and sometimes it doesn't

kindred ivy
#

which is why i revolverup.

ornate hamlet
#

It's mostly firing in the general region of the head and praying you get that magical finesse, but even then you still can do bowling with poxwalker hordes and it has good stagger for most elites

#

If memory doesn't fail me, an uncharged RMB already staggers a rager

harsh urchin
kindred ivy
#

zap

harsh urchin
#

with a bajillion gunners if your teammates are dogshit

kindred ivy
#

vent

#

zap opens up the room

#

none is shooting

harsh urchin
#

doesn't go far enough

#

i'm talking like

kindred ivy
#

depends on the map

harsh urchin
#

bigger rooms

kindred ivy
#

like refinery delta?

potent echo
#

Smite and a prayer šŸ™

kindred ivy
#

has pretyt open rooms

harsh urchin
#

cuz that's one thing I can forsee some issues with your setup

potent echo
#

If you lose its because the game too hard

kindred ivy
#

i playwith a fren

#

most of the time

harsh urchin
#

is that if you get a team that doesnt kill shooters

kindred ivy
#

so my eam usually has some coordinaiton

#

tbh

harsh urchin
#

then you're gonna have to clean it out with melee + revolver which is awful

kindred ivy
#

then they shouldn't be on auric maestorm

#

i try to gun the gunner or shotgunners

#

so the flames spread

#

and kill them for me

harsh urchin
#

ye so that's what I'm saying lol

kindred ivy
#

yeah its not perfect

harsh urchin
#

on aurics you just lose sometimes and you can say "damn my team was shit"

#

but I personally just rather not have to rely on team for anything

#

and just assume they're bots lmao

kindred ivy
#

yeah, i relly on my teammates i have a call on

harsh urchin
#

big weaknest imo with smite + revolver is that fyoi

#

I think it's quite good

kindred ivy
#

also revolver has preety good at supreess

harsh urchin
#

but that weakness is annoying

kindred ivy
#

it will mmake the shooters stop moving for a bit

#

which will let me og in

#

i will test more my sutff on that scenario

tulip trench
#

teammates can be bots lmao

kindred ivy
#

surge suffets from the same thing as smite

#

range

tulip trench
#

surge range is at least double smites initial

#
  • you have lmb
kindred ivy
#

true XD

#

i dont use staves

#

revolver can deal with those rooms

#

the supression can help a lot

#

then i cna just stack up the peril and vent

icy wyvern
#

revolver mains when more than six enemies round the corner

kindred ivy
#

the range on which the flames will catch on fire

#

is super high

tulip trench
#

if i run revolver i bring assail, to spam out gunners
i only pull out revolver for crushers/maulers

kindred ivy
#

no CC tho

tulip trench
#

dont need

#

bubble = profit

icy wyvern
#

i am so tired of revolver vets/zealots

harsh urchin
kindred ivy
#

lemme introduce u

#

to reovvler psycher

icy wyvern
#

you do not need to

#

i am well aware

#

but staff master race

tulip trench
icy wyvern
#

Let the plasma vet hog all the ammo, it matters not

harsh urchin
#

@tulip trench that's why my favorite 2 setups is melee+assail+revolver psyker with shield and EP, and surge+smite+vent with the ult+dot

icy wyvern
#

I'm blastin fools with my mind

harsh urchin
#

cuz they handle pretty much every single situation

#

even the really rough ones

icy wyvern
#

Been running rending/flurry trauma and it's gr8

#

Crusher horde? Woe, brittleness upon ye

harsh urchin
#

and I find that so funny

#

that people blame their teammates instead of bringing a build that can handle shit

icy wyvern
#

I mean, if I'm very obviously working on a horde and have my hands full,

kindred ivy
#

i havent run on that usse particularlly dis

tulip trench
kindred ivy
#

so i don't kno

icy wyvern
#

Someone else's job is going to be dealing with ranged

kindred ivy
#

revolver does so much supression

icy wyvern
#

Suppression does not a dead gunner make

tulip trench
harsh urchin
#

they handle every single situation

#

in a 1-man clutch

icy wyvern
#

warp charges my beloved

tulip trench
#

otherwise warp charge dmg bonus + cooldown is too OP not to use

harsh urchin
#

I've clutched probably 5-10 solos with the first and maybe 1-2 with the second

icy wyvern
#

-36% peril gen means I can just spam rmb

harsh urchin
#

but just cuz i haven't played the 2nd one as much

kindred ivy
#

like

#

dealing with shooters away

#

or at least not enough

tulip trench
kindred ivy
#

so i dont notice

harsh urchin
kindred ivy
#

if it happens i'll tell ya

#

it just doesnt seem ot happen to me

harsh urchin
#

happens pretty often in histg aurics

icy wyvern
#

Dude the newer carnival mission has so many open spaces and the higher difficulties just LOVE filling it with ranged mobs

harsh urchin
#

when you have tons of pressure from shooters + gunners

icy wyvern
#

Ranged mobs that love to sit right outside of the range of my trauma

tulip trench
#

at least 12 gunners

#

all opened up on me

harsh urchin
#

yeah on auric histg is happens way too often lmao

tulip trench
#

i was full everything, just popped a medicae

#

lmao

olive ember
#

Can we talk about lmb spamming

icy wyvern
#

Shit earlier today I got launched into a corner by shotgunners and gunners that all locked onto me at the same time

olive ember
#

It’s a meme right

icy wyvern
#

Well, hear me out

harsh urchin
icy wyvern
#

blaze trauma gives soulblaze on crit

tulip trench
icy wyvern
#

lmb spam means more projectiles, more crits, right?

#

Shotgunners make me see red

tulip trench
icy wyvern
#

I will target them first

tulip trench
olive ember
#

I just see so many fucking psykers

#

Doing lmb spam

tulip trench
icy wyvern
#

I can't aim with lmb tbh

olive ember
tulip trench
#

blitz

icy wyvern
#

If my trauma's rmb doesn't one-hit the thing I'm aiming at

olive ember
#

Surge staff

tulip trench
#

ahh

olive ember
#

No clue what their blitz is

#

Lmao

#

It’s a meme either way

tulip trench
#

i only lmb surge for snipers outta range of rmb

olive ember
#

But Mfw I turn around and the psyker spams lmb into the horde of poxwalkers

#

And then tries to surge staff rmb them

icy wyvern
#

see i've never really touched surge

#

and I'm not about to after wasting tons of plasteel to get blaze trauma

#

just to realize it's mid

olive ember
#

Blaze trauma is pretty meta

potent echo
#

The blaze cultists got to you too I see

olive ember
#

No real reason to swap off it

tulip trench
icy wyvern
#

I'd rather get guaranteed brittleness stacks than possible blaze stacks

tulip trench
#

cant get the hang of the mechanics though

olive ember
#

Brittle is eh

tulip trench
#

it bugs on stairs and i get pissed

potent echo
#

Brittle lets you one shot gunners once you coated them in 1 layer

olive ember
#

Blazing does more damage in average

icy wyvern
#

And if I want blaze stacks I can always just shriek

potent echo
#

So it's actually really good

potent echo
#

After the first trauma, each subsequent one will kill a gunner

olive ember
#

Isn’t that just… normal tho

potent echo
#

Depends on how many things there are

tulip trench
#

thing with brittle is your entire team is now doing what.... + 20% dmg?

potent echo
#

It sounds lame but it's so consistent

olive ember
#

Depends on the weapon

icy wyvern
#

Idk what excactly brittleness does

olive ember
#

Some weapons don’t benefit from brittle at all

icy wyvern
#

Just that it makes crushers suck less

tulip trench
#

brittle = armour shred = enemy receives +% dmg from you and your team

harsh urchin
icy wyvern
#

Blaze'll get you a higher end damage number, but that's taking chip damage off trash mobs that are already gonna get cleared up anyway

harsh urchin
#

i have a brittleness build on ogryn that literally beats everything in melee

#

and it's braindead easy to play

olive ember
#

Well it depends for example if a weapon already has a 1.0x damage on armor brittle/rending does nothing

icy wyvern
#

Crushers? Maulers? Dreg rager?

#

gone

ivory wharf
#

Anyone blow themselves up today via a psyker brain explosion

icy wyvern
#

Dude when do I not

harsh urchin
icy wyvern
#

And even if YOUR weapon has great armor damage anyway

harsh urchin
#

also bleed

#

has disgusting synergy with it

icy wyvern
#

You've got three other teammates

olive ember
#

Fire softens everything up and will kill everything besides crushers

#

Brittle is basically just crushers and maulers, and assassination bosses/twins

icy wyvern
#

Maybe you're having better luck than me because my crit rate wasn't anything to write home about

olive ember
#

Should be around 30 ish %

#

7.5 base + 20 from nexus + 5 if you grab the crit chance perk

#

I forget if you grab the 5% crit node but if you do that’s another 5

icy wyvern
#

Or a 100% chance that all my team does more damage to armored targets

#

It's a trauma staff, it's going to kill a horde

#

At some point you reach a point where you're not gaining much

olive ember
#

Depends on the weapon your team is using rending is completely useless

icy wyvern
#

i said point twice, brb kms

tulip trench
#

whats more important on trauma? resistance or quell speed?

olive ember
#

Resistance psure

#

Quell speed iirc is basically a dump stat on every staff

tulip trench
#

cause you do get a quell speed talent

icy wyvern
#

esp if you run left side yeah

tulip trench
olive ember
#

I don’t even get that talent sometimes, it’s just innately fast

icy wyvern
#

Those dd sweats tremble at the sight of my warp charges

harsh urchin
#

@olive ember do you know if thunderous blessing applies to the original hit? or only subsequent hits

wraith talon
#

the void clutched ig

icy wyvern
#

prank em john

olive ember
#

Their weapons actually use thunderous no?

icy wyvern
#

what's the big brain psyker strat for hard mode twins

tulip trench
#

Hadron hates me

icy wyvern
#

??

olive ember
#

Two ways to run Psyker in orthus

#

One is cracked out Scriers dueling sword psyker for boss damage

#

The other is smite for CC

icy wyvern
#

swap sustained for rending, infested for flak, imho

#

more stam means run more better, but ig you're not gonna be sprinting with your staff out

kindred ivy
#

smite CC is pretty usefull

icy wyvern
#

both are equally yeetable ig

kindred ivy
#

in premade

#

do premade if u gonna run smite CC

icy wyvern
#

hey uh

#

tf is premade

kindred ivy
#

makign a squad

#

beforehand

icy wyvern
#

ah ok

#

yeah I'm not gonna pug hard mode

olive ember
#

Probably a gun psyker is best option for orthus tbh

icy wyvern
#

respectfully, fuck gun psykers

#

stop having fun

kindred ivy
#

seethe with my smite revolver build

#

patritcia there.

olive ember
#

From my experience if the bosses are able to have full stacks of rending applied to them the team is doing something wrong

dusty otter
silent coral
#

Is crit aura better than ability cooldown aura?

olive ember
#

Like when the bosses shields go down we bum rush gun boy and force a phase transition

tulip trench
#

best blitz to pair with trauma?
also wildfire needed with trauma?
if so i guess i gotta take bb

olive ember
#

Wildfire is kinda a meh node in general

kindred ivy
#

nah

olive ember
#

But if you are building for fire it’s on the way

kindred ivy
#

but if u just taking it for the "Lul"s

#

then yeah

#

dont

#

if u doing wildfire, do it knowing how u will use it a ton

icy wyvern
#

I run bb and shriek with me trauma

viscid matrix
cosmic sigil
#

are you lmb or rmb on the smite?

olive ember
#

Rmb

cosmic sigil
#

what do you prefer and why?

tulip trench
viscid matrix
cosmic sigil
#

ok

icy wyvern
#

except when it isnt?

kindred ivy
#

and do take the thing tha makes them take extra dmg

#

its very important

#

its it wil lbuff the flame vent

icy wyvern
#

like I'm not gonna build all that peril when there's just a poxwalker sitting on the ground

cosmic sigil
#

yeah i've done that

kindred ivy
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø doesnt matter for me

#

i have a revolver and a sword

olive ember
#

If it’s just a poxwalker why are you using smite in general

kindred ivy
#

^^ true

viscid matrix
#

With smite rmb, try to stop before you hit 100% peril to have a knock back effect

icy wyvern
#

Oh, sorry, thought we were shit talking my beloved trauma

kindred ivy
#

but if its more than 2 poxwalkers

#

do smite them

olive ember
#

I used to like surge staff when it was guaranteed quick CC

#

Then they made smite a chargeable thing that got rid of my BB and now I can’t use smite anymore

#

SMH

half iron
#

must brain burst lone poxwalker raaagh

icy wyvern
#

It makes me laugh sometimes to just like

#

you šŸ‘€

#

🤯

cosmic sigil
#

using smite made me feel like using chorus or shout

kindred ivy
#

a full empowered psyonics smite will kill any dreg shooter, walker, stalker from full

#

id say that good dmg

#

especialyl if udoing that to the entire horde

half iron
#

using smite makes me feel like lightning is coming out of my hands
because that’s what i do

cosmic sigil
#

i saved a zealot ass long enough so that he could deal with 2 crushers and one dog. Whit a knife

kindred ivy
#

just the flame from venting push at max stacks doesnt evne kill any of these guys:

cosmic sigil
kindred ivy
half iron
#

i would save a zealot in general. a vet though, i’m shooting the burster they just pushed

olive ember
kindred ivy
#

yeah so, empowered smite does more damage then venting shired

#

shriek

#

combo them both

cosmic sigil
#

well, i'm keen to know the differences

kindred ivy
#

the first few ticks of flame vent is 28, then it slows down

#

empowered smite is about that too (a bit higher, depends on the roll it seems) but elts say 28

olive ember
#

Idk how you are venting your flames but uh

#

Interesting

half iron
#

empowered smite more like lame ahh smite

kindred ivy
#

so combo them both, and u do about 56dmg per tick

cosmic sigil
#

ok, i have seen a difference

kindred ivy
#

which is about 112 DPS, for the entire horde

#

how is that not good?

cosmic sigil
#

the ws dmg node on my revolver and my melee when i was running 6 charges

kindred ivy
#

well stil, smite is substantially stronge when EP

cosmic sigil
#

yeah but how much stronger?

devout robin
#

question, what's the max stack cap for venting flames

olive ember
#

31

cosmic sigil
#

do we have some numbers?

devout robin
#

i know blaze trauma is 6 with 2 crits

devout robin
kindred ivy
#

on a dreg runner, just EP smite did 135 from full

#

with no shriek

#

135 DPS

#

and killed it

olive ember
#

The global cap is 31, blazing spirit caps at 6, purge staff caps at 16

kindred ivy
#

i dont know the numbers are inconsistent

#

lmao

#

but the dps is pretty nuts

devout robin
#

and fire shriek is only limited by the localized cap

#

interesting

kindred ivy
#

especially if u consider it hits the ENTIRE HORDE

half iron
#

i like it when i use my sword to kill the things

cosmic sigil
#

do you need the crit nodes at the top (mettle and the other one) if you go smite gunker?

devout robin
#

heavily recommended for survivability and damage

cosmic sigil
#

i don't remember criting with smite

devout robin
#

gunker will just crit a fuckton naturally with True Aim

kindred ivy
#

yeah 162 dps with shriek + EP smite

#

thats uhh pretty good

cosmic sigil
devout robin
#

if you run meta picks like columnus alongside gaze you will crit a lot yeah

kindred ivy
#

EP smite + flame vent will kill a gunner from full

#

scab gunner from full

#

alongside everything else

half iron
#

i’m more of a stub than an amongus gunker ngl

kindred ivy
#

the flames from a elite kill do 11 dmg per tic

devout robin
#

i just really like columnus but stubber is probably more consistent since you actually have a way to deal with carapace besides your sword depending

kindred ivy
#

so no, whoever things my dmg comes JUST FROM THE FIRE

#

you are wrong

#

most of it is actualyl ep smite

#

the flames compliment a lot

devout robin
#

we're talking about gun psyker

#

oh wait

#

that was not in response to me

#

excuse me, carry on flaming

kindred ivy
#

ep smite does 135 dps on a dreg bruiser
flames from elite 22 per second (1 second is roughtly 2 ticks)
flame venting: between 56-80 dps (1 second is roughtly 2 ticks)? it seems.

#

iso, i go from a 135 dps aoe, to a up to 230 dps aoe

#

thats fucking insane!

#

consider the range

#

EP smite is more than half of it

#

but the flames ofc help a lot!

#

so to all ppl saying it isnt my smite damage: it is. i just proved it

#

flames help, but arnet all my dmg

#

i also carry a revolver to deal with elites fast

#

yeah imagine 235 dps on the entire horde, including gunners (which have about 1000/1200 hp), and shotgunners

#

thats 1 elite every 5 seconds

#

totally its shirek doing the wrok

olive ember
#

idk what you are doing to get 235 dps per target with smite

kindred ivy
#

empowered smite

olive ember
#

It ain’t that

kindred ivy
#

does 135, + 22 from 1 elite kill neerby + 80 from a venting shirek

#

that is if u consider 2 ticks of dmg -> 1 second (which id say is not true, and in reality i think there are slighly more than 2)

#

on the normal small runners its 120 dps the ep smite

#

i which i had the propper measure of 1 tick

#

so 2 option:
i cooked something u guys havent seen at all: (i will play games here with anyone to prove it)
or am legit just goated

devout robin
#

1 tick occurs every 0.75s

kindred ivy
devout robin
#

that is flames tick rate

kindred ivy
#

EP smite(

#

what about EP smite's?

devout robin
#

i dont have a hat in the race but ill check

kindred ivy
#

its dificult to calculate propper smite dps, cause it falls off

#

on pox walkers it reaches about 56 dps, (40,40,40... then falls 32 and they die)

#

on ep smite its 120 dps on them

olive ember
#

so EP smite is better dps than warp charge smite yes, but thats in a complete vacuum

kindred ivy
#

if flames are every 0.75, and a elite kill makes a 11 dmg burn -> (11 / 0.75 = 14.6 dps)

devout robin
#

we don't have tick time but trusted documentation calculates its dps as this

#

so it's naturally going to be 125~ dps with EP so yes

kindred ivy
#

so imagine a scenario:
1 elite kill from a reolver -> 14 dps
flame purge -> 56 (varied a lot depends on how many stacks)
smit -> 110

and thats not ideal, since u can easelly rakc up 2 elite kills quickly with a revolver, and u will kill elites with smite (calculating dmg is so fucked with so many dmg types on enemy)
those were taken on infected)

devout robin
#

it does objectively more damage per tick than 3 + 6 ticks of soulblaze at 50~ damage per 0.75 or 66.6~ DPS

olive ember
#

so if you only gave af about smite, EP smite does do more damage than warp charge smite while warp charge smite is more sustainable due to peril resist

kindred ivy
#

i run no other forms of peril

#

only smite

#

i have a revolver and a cavalry sword

#

smite is pretty low cost on peril

devout robin
#

sustainable is subjective because EP smite might legit kill hordes due to the fact it does damage that's mediocre and not nothing

kindred ivy
#

and i run CDR on curios and on talents

devout robin
#

so it's mroe sustainable if you don't need to smite at all after the first cast

kindred ivy
#

sum up that, with the insane CCit provides

devout robin
#

either way the semantics of ep smite > this specific application of 9 soulbalze is done

kindred ivy
#

and my surgical handcannon revolver

olive ember
kindred ivy
#

so , yeah smite is pretty good, does ok dmg, + it will also provide CC

#

for the entire team

devout robin
#

yeah

kindred ivy
#

which makes me say, its very good

devout robin
#

in which case warp charge smite will be better because it's less about the horde and more about the bosses

#

personally

kindred ivy
#

if u take care of ranger gunners.

#

with revolver

devout robin
#

i find that it's hard to compare the two when warp charges does more to more things than just your blitz

#

at the cost of consistency

#

because if you need to use your F and lose those charges then you'd miss EP's consistency

#

either way this discussion seems like it's going in circles

kindred ivy
#

i use my F during smite,

#

and kepe the EP running too

#

which is pretty neat

#

for a build focused on CC , me killing the entire horde, and ranged elites consistenlty, seems pretty good

#

tomorrow, i am open to test this build with anyone who is a disbeliever

untold widget
#

jesus, he's still preaching about smite?

kindred ivy
#

and are u still mad it performs better than your builds?

devout robin
#

okay

devout robin

i wouldn't go that far

#

1v1 me bro

#

this is a child. I'm actually done

devout robin
#

i think it's deceitful to say that because a lot of things easily outdamage smite even with EP

kindred ivy
#

well i showed stats of my build, showed the post game scoreboards, and the mathematics behind the dmg and how the build works

devout robin
#

surge voidstrike spam, fire trauma spam, purgatus

kindred ivy
#

what else u want?

untold widget
#

for you to stop talking

#

thought that was obvious

kindred ivy
#

kek

malding over smite >>>>

#

so yeah , am down to show how good it is in game

tulip trench
#

Ok first time using trauma staff with brittle blessing

kindred ivy
#

i showed stats and all u said was : no lol

devout robin
#

no one's saying smite is bad, i would argue people downplay it a bit too hard

kindred ivy
#

not u jesise

#

the calliope

devout robin
#

i don't think it's going to clear hordes as quick as some more offensive options

kindred ivy
#

it seems that way, but the longer range compared to purgatus

#

and the bigger aoe, compared to voidstrike of trauma

#

makes up for that

#

i tested played with other psuchers, pugatus and voidstrike.

purgatus doesnt have the ranger, voistrike stared focusing on elites only while i strunned the horde

devout robin
#

the thing is that purgatus crits-a-fucking-lot, and higher soulblaze will spread like wildfire

untold widget
#

literally everyone runs smite except columnus gunkers who want to save ammo with assail

devout robin
#

in addition to much more monstrosity damage

untold widget
#

nobody is saying smite is bad

devout robin
#

yeah

untold widget
#

you're defending nothing from nobody

kindred ivy
#

lel

icy wyvern
#

Okay so, EP makes smite do more damage and maybe even kill mobs but!
WS gives you peril gen reduction so you can CC them longer

#

i am conflicted

untold widget
#

it was fun winding you up at first because you clearly are very passionate about a CC ability

#

but its old now

kindred ivy
#

smite already has low cost

#

and u can vent very quickly

foggy stratus
#

ive been using it as my main thing

untold widget
#

its fine

#

does its job

#

which is CC

kindred ivy
untold widget
#

most people run it

icy wyvern
#

also which of you fuckers was going to tell me that you had to hold BOTH right AND left mouse buttons

untold widget
#

the occasional assail user comes along, and the ones running brain burst for penance

foggy stratus
#

i see mother other psykers doin the assail thing when i do match making

kindred ivy
#

they will say "Bad" then u put proofs about its dmg, and cc and everyhtin they repond with "no lil)

icy wyvern
#

here I was thinking smite had like a one second rmb attack

kindred ivy
#

just stop smitning before it reaches 100%

untold widget
#

smite isnt giving you damage

devout robin
#

realistically i run warp charges to boost my damage in general and reduce cd/peril on my staves

untold widget
#

that's creeping flames

kindred ivy
#

and u will knock enemies back

kindred ivy
#

i just did the math

untold widget
#

it is

devout robin
#

and anyone running it specifically in consideration to only smite is only pedantic

untold widget
#

ok

kindred ivy
#

confiemed by jessie

untold widget
#

revolver does 4k

kindred ivy
#

the creeping flames do like 11 per tick, and the venting shirek will do 40 per tick on the burns

foggy stratus
#

its def a dps sacrifice

untold widget
#

max peril creeping flames will 100-0 a horde with no other damage applied

foggy stratus
#

whats creeping flames?

devout robin
#

the thing about creeping flames is that it's free while you do other shit

untold widget
#

venting shriek augment

foggy stratus
#

ahhh

devout robin
#

it is objectively slower but also

#

you can do it while firing off trauma blasts

#

columnus shots

#

etc

mighty olive
kindred ivy
#

venting shrieak does like 40 or so dmg per tick.

foggy stratus
#

i want to be do that hard mode - is a non smite buold recommended?

devout robin
#

yes

#

that is enough for trash

kindred ivy
#

which is 56 dps

#

smite lets me spread that fast

#

and kill faster

#

about 3x faster with burn + smite

#

very good horde clear

devout robin
#

that is objectively true

kindred ivy
#

better than just shirek

mighty olive
devout robin
#

the point is that you will use venting shriek with some shit like the voidstrike, kill the horde while also sniping every elite in liek 5 seconds

kindred ivy
#

and my smite will keep the elites stunned wtih noething on front

#

for my team

kindred ivy
#

so all my peril goes on smite in case i need CC

#

revolve rmore less the same speed

foggy stratus
#

hmm, i dont think i do soulblaze

#

maybe i can work thatin

icy wyvern
#

Soulblaze isn't really something you should half do

kindred ivy
#

i dont see enough psychers properlly using the CC of smite

icy wyvern
#

well for one no one told me you have to HOLD RMB

kindred ivy
#

when theres ragers fucking up the team, they will try to kill shit with a VS instead of making sure everyone is safe with smite first

#

i just lost a game cause we had 2 psychers boht smite, none of them ever used smite. at the end of hab dreiko one of them was stuck voidstriking a door

#

nonstop

icy wyvern
#

you reckon enfeeble is necessary or can I yeet it for warp rider

kindred ivy
#

cuase he couldnt push out, whereast wtih smite

foggy stratus
#

oh - i always try to hold cc, but im noticing most guys just ignore things that are CC'd and i end up having to non-cc lol

kindred ivy
kindred ivy
#

enfeeble justifies a LOT of the smite spam

icy wyvern
#

i'd like a second opinion from someone who isn't smite's greatest fan

foggy stratus
#

hmm

#

let mne make sure i have that

kindred ivy
untold widget
#

I don't run any smite augments

kindred ivy
#

stop before it reaches 100%

#

so u kbkick back enemies

#

very usefull

#

smite feels lackluster without the left augment imo, and the left augment helps the teams dmg

#

its pretty aight if u ask me

#

10% dmg for free is always welcome

devout robin
#

this argument just feels like people who prefer more offensive options over smite or otherwise

#

so like

#

whatever just use what you like

#

#

left augment is +1 jumps

#

right is damage

kindred ivy
#

do both

#

u can do btoh

untold widget
#

nope

mighty olive
#

i just take the jump aug

#

unless you have a good coordinated team i dont feel the right one is useful

untold widget
#

don't hold smite long enough for the jump addition to matter, don't need extra damage on smite

kindred ivy
#

u can do both

tulip trench
#

lets be real at the end of the day, nothing feels better than clearing hordes with good ol' illisi ā¤ļø

kindred ivy
#

the extra dmg is for your team

untold widget
#

literally everything i have does more damage

devout robin
#

extra damage doesnt matter bc people always hit shit that meets breakpoints anyway

untold widget
#

prove enfeeble works for team damage then

kindred ivy
#

all sources

foggy stratus
kindred ivy
#

if u consider the 125 dps of smite + the massive AOE

untold widget
#

tooltips are always reliable, this is known

kindred ivy
#

well its designed to help

devout robin
#

10%^ isn't a lot

kindred ivy
#

iuts designed to do, none afaik reported any issue with it so far

#

so id say yeah it works

#

at least that i know of

icy wyvern
#

There

tulip trench
#

i prefer the plus 1 jump tbh, it actually gives you an extra smite circuit right off of your hand

icy wyvern
#

There's no timer on the tooltip

limber silo
#

Yeah, most people have their loadouts set with proper breakpoints, so the only time I find that extra 10% nice is with Smite Shriek

devout robin
#

anyone building for the 10% boost is either very teamwork oriented, a crackhead or a min-max god

icy wyvern
#

So is it "enemy was hit with smite and now permenantly takes +10% damage"

runic hornet
#

no, it's only while they're doing the marv electrocution dance

devout robin
#

only when enemy is being smited

icy wyvern
#

smitten

#

smote

runic hornet
#

it supposedly will help a little bit on elite squads that you're holding

kindred ivy
#

so if it isnt working as intended, it should do +10%
if it isnt working it needs a fux

runic hornet
#

but most of the time your team will either delete the elites by a large margin, or fail to delete them by a large margin

icy wyvern
#

So it's only while they're riding the lightning

#

yeah chief I'm gonna take warp rider instead

runic hornet
#

in either case the point is better spent elsewhere

devout robin
#

it's not whether it works

#

it's whether it gets objectively value when it does work

#

and more often than not it won't

half iron
#

the point is better spent to psyker pswagšŸ’ÆšŸ’ÆšŸ—£ļøšŸ—£ļø

devout robin
#

the biggest case is monstrosioty but you are absolutely not smiting those

runic hornet
#

does it even work on monstrosities

#

since they don't do the dance

tulip trench
kindred ivy
#

the weakness of the build, is boss dmg

#

but i think if i put a chainsword

#

i should do a lot better on that part

icy wyvern
#

Okay, moving on from lightning to flames

flames are cool

it has good cleave and the heavies do so much fucking damage even to carapace

runic hornet

yeah, it's pretty strong

kindred ivy

well i do have a uncanny strike shred one

runic hornet
#

there's still arguments for force swords over it though

#

depending on your build

kindred ivy
#

revolver will murder elites too

#

on 1 tap

devout robin
#
  1. doesn't need to reload
  2. doesn't need ammo
  3. you can run it with basically any ranged weapon, including revoplver
#

also clears adds good

kindred ivy
#

chainsword

runic hornet
#

especially the fire-venting shriek + slaughterer force sword combo

kindred ivy
#

givees me the bossdmg i dont have

runic hornet

that absolutely shreks everything

kindred ivy

the aoe we went over this already

runic hornet
#

(slaughterer is a messed up perk)

tulip trench
kindred ivy

only on headshots

tulip trench

than chainsword

#

nah just in general

kindred ivy
#

chainsword with bleed stacks up more

runic hornet
#

yeah don't sleep on chainsword special bleed

#

it's kind of hilarious

#

because you get the bleed stacks even if you cancel out of it apparently?

#

or have they fixed that

kindred ivy

maniac is to one-shot headshot muties on it
