it has a lot of potential, but the point is for you to be able to play at low health and survive that way, you going down 5 times doesn't help
I just am allergic to running wound curios so I never tried marty
yeah thats what I hate
I love martyrdom and almost exclusively run it at this point but I don't pass up medicae if it's there
dunno why people feel the need to sit at 1 wound the entire match especially when they aren't even good enough to not get touched
I dont play zealot to go that hard, my zealot build uses the wound talent for comfyness and I still top rank aurics on damage most of the time 
there just isnt content in the game that requires that amount of tryhardness
maybe when 6 comes out
theyll actually make it hard
The only real way players are challenged is special spam anyway
thats not really a valid way to do it, theyre already getting to what might be engine limitations with the sound
Thanks will update
Anything that isnt STG is just a cakewalk
time to play all grey heresy
the real difficulty is the friends you make along the way
Best friends turn it into true solo 🙂
I rather do naked MH quests 
I cant stand true solo or duo things
dont mind watching them but man I cant be assed
think before I get that bored with the actual game I just go play something else
Imagine that you have as rando teammates:1) bad Kyle-Zealot that runs ahead triggering everything and dies. 2) Vet who still don't know how to melee and have tunnel vision and dies to every basic moaner that reaches him 3) Sibling that only tries to BB moaners.
here you go - true solo experience 🙂
no thanks I prefer when people actually play decent and things go relatively smooth lol
getting through a mission quickly and smoothly with randos is rare enough that its not boring lol
Thats the beauty of random groups you never knows who you get in advance 🙂
i like it when i get the big sweet brutes that do cool things
My most funny momemt so far - i've got "On Overwatch" penance by playing most of the mission as melee Vet. And it was old version of Penance - no melee damage taken allowed at all
Those are best one to have around 🙂
i get along the best with ogryn because ogryn strong

Hey, I was about to buy whatever that was
nurgle's soup?
i fucking hate people who spam ping elite horde in freaking a5histg
like
thats the whole point of this difficulty
then they spam ping literally every single fucking elite horde
gunner? ping
rager? ping
mauler?
ping.
hotel?
ping
note to self, use ping more
some guy complained nobody pinged enough in auric histg (only pinged specials/disablers) so i started pinging every elite

snipers always deserve a ping tho, even on that sniper guantlet
i think if you ping once its alright
but he ping every guy in the horde
like if there is 6 rager
he ping 6 times
of course i want people to ping, but i don't need him to ping the elite horde like 6 times esp when its infront of us
its very bad because it makes it hard to aim
get the mod that lets you adjust repeat ping time and sound
like the guy run ahead to fight the 6 maulers by himself but then he spams ping for god knows whjat reason
on nexus?
or mod discord?
nexus
thanks dood
No it's rip
Deimos wants uncanny/slaughterer/deflector
I ping to see shit tbh
You can recover either blessing 
Half the time I just ping to “see head”
Is this global?
no
F
I think the extended range ping is global though, pubs seem to be able to see my massive sniper pings
imagine in mist
the blessing shred shouldnt get removed if you swing your sword and hit nothing
so dumb lol
Omg it's John Cadia.
It’s a very odd coincidence that they all are wearing helmets in the same colour scheme 
Unless it’s by mod influence
i would. not because they’re cadian, but because they’re veterans.
I'm cadian ogryn apparently.
Thirsting for that frame
I'm 410k out of 1 million
It’s time to gamble my friend
Are there any groups of people that get together to try and do some of the redacted achievements?
hell no
man
another one to the pile, not including one i sold at purple
it hurts seeing all these high stat ones get fucked
DONT YOU LOVE STATS GRINDING
EVERY WEAPON IS 2 MATCH WORTH OF PLASTEEL ON HIGHEST DIFFICULTY
Long way to go me fren
sustained doest seem particularly good
It's better than ff or deathspitter for me.
They will die
I dont think this is salvagable right
Why? Upgrade the blessings and thats a beautiful weapon
Low Finesse
70% is fine
You could leave riposte and swap maniacs to unyielding or you could leave both perks and just up the blessings to 4
Or take shred instead of riposte
It's okay a tiny bit low but playable.
I use something similar on my melee psyker that outdamages mostly everything.
Columnus Infantry Autogun is pretty great currently, on every class
Graia isn't bad and there's some people who use the Headhunters though I've never been too fond of them
mk8bag is also awesome.
yeah but Psykers don't get BAGs
arms too weak
tooooo. wweeakkkk.
I'm used to Brauto but BAG is faster to type
bag sounds dum
I mean, if we are going to say IAG, why wouldn't we use BAG?
because consistency is boring
mk4bag / mk5iag yadda yadda.
and brauto looks funnier
IAG, BAG, and HAG
hate it
the only question is how to pronounce "IAG"
I A G
HAG this mf
take a page out of Roman letters and pronounce it "JAG" ?
Im sure as fuck not saying "eeahG'
Eye A Geee
dont get me started on the letter J
Exactly.
Eurotrash doesn't count.

This chat seems to have more europeans than americans?
Probably.
I think zealot has more americans.
no idea
And vet chat too.
it's 9 am EST currently, most Americans are either at work, at school, or asleep
40k, historically, is more popular in EU.
I too am at work
I'm at work.
I'm not at work. On leave until the 8th baby.
It would explain things

I automated most of my stuff though so..... here I am.
hueg brein
I'm waiting on a phone call from a government agency that is notorious for being late on phone calls
I play this, so brain isn't that big.
But FS shut it down because reasons.
supposed to call at 9 am, currently 6 minutes late, the waiting game begins
CIA?
HAH I wish

my paycheck would be so much nicer
the site still works tho wdym
you mean just the API store implementation thing
No you can't buy stuff anymore.
You used to be able to buy stuff and not have to log in the game.
That is... slightly disturbing.
knowing them that shit was fucking up their backend or something lol
they took out the API backend stuff that lets you buy stuff while not playing the game
I don't even check atoma cloud at work
Well they fucked up their own game with this out of memory shite.
too heartbreaking to see a nice 380 show up and know I can't buy it
Patch 13 didn't make me crash but since patch 14 hotfix 2 or something this game is fucked.
remote into your computer
If you were able to execute buying something in game that means more of their API was exposed than should have been which means you could probably do a lot more than just buy stuff.
Download more memory
I could do Nvidia stuff but it's a bit sketch with the location of where I work
Thanks I will. 
time to bring a laptop
ah fuck the manager just lock the door
Be your own manager.
the door is locked
Phrasing
Work hard Play hard!
I wouldnt know
Oh a vault
My mother bought and sold airplanes for the USAF. No cell phones allowed lol
nah a small contract
imagine if psyker could shoot semen with tiny ant sized people he would shoot it into the ear and the ant sized people would mind control and destory the brain and contexts from inside thoughts??
imma throw out a guess and say chairforce
Did you just watch the Boys?
50/50 youre a furry too in that case
My brother had a cool job in the Navy. He used to inspect halon systems on nuclear subs and at NASA.
idk what that is
you're already into vtubers 
Had this weird lateral clearance called Yankee Clearance or some shit.
That allowed him into secured nuclear facilities or some shit.

do you get violent thoughts
That sounds boreing.
i have the urge to kill to feel alive
boeing
You guys ever sniff glue
remove your chains
your also schizophrenic
I for sure sniffed glue in kindergarten.
you're
i dont care
Your’re
your language is fake
ur're
I care about you, you matter.
you should love yourself now
the voices only care
you shunned me
from society
told me i was crazy
the voices guide me
let them in
remove your chains
You might be crazy but we still love you.
he just told you you misspelled you're
Spelling is in the eye of the beholder.
no you dont
maybe add him to your voices since you dont seem to have a grammar voice yet 
Spell it however you want.
I see you.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
but the voices were not strong yet
I'll await you in the dreaming, brother.
standing next to the bed is easier
then we meet
no i was in the celling
i have glass celling
so i stood over
looking down
the system is failing
they cant contain
true power
true mind seeing powers
they can only lock up our bodies
not our thoughts
we are always free in our thoughts
Are we?
We are brains, piloting biomechanoid bodies.
yes
i once had a dream
i used to dream of it alot before
of a large white empty room
the perspective
i was looking down on myself
sitting on the floor
thats when they started
they were always there
just they started knocking
i was lonely
i let them
in
do the same
they are not corruption
they are strenght
rage
rage
hate
you dont need to control them
you need to fuel them
your mind is a house
they knock
stomp
but
in this house
your always safe
if you dont let them in
they still speak
but

not as much
when you let them in
their long nails
scratch against the door
then you lose control
its when
you
feel violent
you feel hate
you feel rage
they feel the rage
they are the rage
when they are in
they never leave
not matter how much pills
medication
therapy
and all that crap
you still feel them
you search for them
they grow
you cant repress their power
their desires
fully
only a bit
them they come back
angrier
what in the name of the warp
new guy rp'ing real hard
whats rp'ing
new guy got possessed by the daemons there for a moment
kind of amazed he avoided triggering the Hadron Bot
they turn us for a profit
she usually gets upset if you post too quickly
we need to murder them
and their families
in cold blood
let the rage consume you
let it tear at you
bite
its restless
it always comes back
its true
power
in its true form
a person's body
how strong
big
is not what decides their fate
its the mind
its what you push your mind to do
when the rage consumes
you
they dont care about us
Sibling
make them care
Calm the fuck down
about your power
Your echo is as loud as Magnus decided to send a message to terra
Depends on your build. Columnus, Mark 2 Laspistol, Revolver, and even some of the Headhunter autoguns have some play
recon lasguns are about the only thing that's pretty garbo
any that can help leveling my psyker?
when leveling honestly I just recommend using Assail + Revolver
the staves are pretty garbo when leveling due to things like Charge Rate and Blast Radius being stats
and some of them really need blessings to work
True gunkers take the autopistol and use all of their ammo on poxwalkers in the first horde. Then you take every ammo drop on the map
I hate auto pistol I hate auto pistol I hate auto pistol
Shredder is fun; was even the stone-cold meta for a time
nowadays it's outclassed by the columnus (like pretty much every full-auto weapon) but I keep a few others around in case the nerfbat comes a-swinging
Autopistol...a weapon that definitely does exist
Just take a columnus and add deathspitter and the other power
So you can juggle between assail and gunker
if i want to go the cc route is smite good?
That's what smite is for
When you get the 5 stack of non-warp kill, switch to assail
DumDum + Fire Frenzy I think is the current "meta" for Columnus but Deathspitter and Raking also work
I've been doing exactly with with a Crit/Assail/Malific-Momentum/EP build. It feels very good as long as you get a veteran with the ammo regen.
Low lvl assail build 
elites/unyielding are both fine in place of maniac since it has higher dps vs unarmored/maniac etc anyways
smite is great at CC, but damage is lackluster.
Best used as a panic button to shut down Elites for a few seconds while your team gets prepared to deal with them, or lock down a few crushers while the Zealot murks them
Columnus to charge up EP to three and stack up MM, then swap and throw free RMBs for massive damage
been messing around with DD on Gunker
the buff is great but I'm not a huge fan of the minigame
debating on whether or not to swap to EP
i dont like it here
Im not that consistent with focusing on a single target that why CC is important
the universe is telling you to run Raking Fire
how do you guys shoot the Columnus? bursts or mag dumps or what?
the universe can suck my ass
Upgrade
you'll get better, but also Psykers can (depending on build) do a lot of damage
Switch reload to flak
I have issues with sensory overload so iwont
if you upgrade and get DumDum you're fine
Try your luck 
if i wanted to run raking i wouldnt have 5 fucking columni sitting at yellow in my inventory
Try this if you do decide to swap to EP. I switched from Gaze/DD to this and I won't go back. Feels so nice even in Auric Damns once you master the rotation.
Just swap Crit Damage -> Flak and Raking -> Fire Frenzy or whatever
I'd probably take off a toughness talent and the EP Toughness and go grab Puppet Master
but yeah that's about the build I'm looking at
wait no my build is Gaze
not Dome
Yeah I take health/wound/stam as curios so if you run toughness curios you don't need as much toughness from talents
You can honestly run either dome or gaze depending what you like
I prefer dome
the nice bit of Gaze w/ EP Assail is you can throw the free darts during Gaze
without jacking your Peril sky-high
with DD you can't touch assail really during Gaze or you'll screw it up
Yeah, the RMB Assails from EP during gaze would be really crazy
I just value the shield because it's nice for open areas or when you need to push through a chokepoint and are dealing with a lot of shooters
Brothers, just put your peril at 100 and go poke everything to death with a mk4ds.
Yeah, I hated the DD minigame so I swapped to this and I've really enjoyed the game more since
I like living on the edge throwing 1 or 2 at a time during gaze 
anyone know what is this update ?
Bug fixes
oh ok
It's just a bunch of small bug fixes for crashes/issues. You can go look in the news channel for the link to the patch notes
Probably wanted some last few bug fixes before calling it for the year
Devoted Rejects, Here are the patch notes for 1.2.22, which just went live on Steam and will shortly be live on our other platforms. Fixes Fixed an issue where players could remain soft-locked at the end elevator of the Orthus Offensive mission when dealing too much damage to the Karnak Twins in the double ambush encounter. Fixed an issue wher...
i see
I like this one!
What?
So for Assail i would be using something like this https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9aafe105-abe1-4fb9-99bd-d674a4a0cfaf/assaily-kal
no don't call him back we finally got him to stop typing
other than the Illisi's perks and some talent point stuff that should work
Mfw when Reddit can’t fathom that dome shield isn’t required or even meta
it's really easy to use
I'd probably go Shriek with that build to help with horde clear, as Rending/Flurry Trauma lacks some horde clear
It’s easy to use but there’s people going “build ain’t good you use shriek and have zero utility cuz no dome shield”
Dome and Shriek are both good, just depends on what the build wants/needs.
Think the only builds I run Dome on are Voidstrike and Purgatus though
there's a lot going wrong with... everything in that post
funky talent choices, funky comments, Unarmored perk on Trauma staff
Gun Psyker Always Feel good jesus
also stop showing the plebs that Blaze Trauma is good, they're gonna get Fatshark to nerf it
what else could it possibly be?
how tf did the Vet need THAT much ammo
columnus bvlls
rate of fire? infinite
Plasma does use a lot of ammo but maybe just maybe you don't shoot poxwalkers with it
He just keep going out of ammo for no reason
like good emprah
we love columnus
We do but I'm talking about the Plasma vet in that screenshot
Even for a plasma vet that man was an ammo black hole
he's using the plasma gun like a kickback
Is there i build template you would recommend?
uhhh the EP assail is a Gunker build
looking at the Atheneum on steam is a good start, but otherwise not too much
you want to see the Gunker build then?
Yes why not
Been trying out new stuff here and there since staff and deimos power sword become stale after learning/master-ing
they gunky
for EP it'd be something like this:
not everyone likes Puppet master though so if you drop that you have 2 extra points to throw into toughness or Assail recharge
Be a team player and run puppet master
I do
that's a nice torso
endeed!
need suggestion, graia or columnusssss
hmmm
Does psyker get the mk 8 braced agri?
how would you define crack
Bc that thing is so fucking busted
Psyker does not get Braced guns
Interesting
arms too weak
Rip
godroll
Why perillous thou
hmm
3 SoulBlaze is good?
if you get one with like 380 stats and Mobility dump stats alongside DumDum + Fire Frenzy and Flak perk, but your best Columnus is some 350 with 72 damage then use the Graia lol
3 SoulBlaze is meh
9 SoulBlaze, however
kill 3 shotgunners/ragers, watch the rest burn
anyone else get a visual bug with the mark IV dueling sword? when i charge heavies my arm jerks twice. I'd say it's lag, but it is consistent, and doesnt happen on any other weapons
PC is pretty meh at lower difficulties but is excellent at higher difficulties/aurics
could you post a video perhaps? sounds weird
I will in a couple hours when I get home, I realize my comment is kinda useless without visual lol
all gud, I haven't noticed it though; do you play with super-wide FOV or something?
3 soulblaze per elite kill
2 elite kills will kill all the trash near the elites
Gotta have wildfire to carry games.
Wildfire is a talent that seems great and then kinda falls really flat when you dig into how it works mechanically
It's wild, and it's fire, what could not be better?
best usecase for it is spreading fire to trigger In Fire Reborn
Heretic.
I still cant believe Reddit thinks shield is pseudo mandatory on Psyker
It's not?
I just melee shit, I dont know what I'm doing.
and by melee, I mean spam assail.
Dome is very good for telling your team to "Group up over there"
But as you go higher that's less of a concern
so it becomes a question of Dome for safety vs. Shriek for offense, and when you have all the Elites running around in Aurics you can use Warp Siphon to spam Shriek pretty quickly
which, thanks to Creeping Flames, will add quite a bit of damage to your kit
I only take dome becasue there was nothing else to take after revolver and mk4ds.
I forget to use it most of the time.
ADHD problems.
I use dome on Purgatus (because my range is poopoo) and Voidstrike (because that build wants to keep its charges for the 24% damage and 36% peril reduction)
Any build that uses dome should use fire shriek
Revolver Gunker isn't a bad case for Dome; you're not going to get much out of Scriers, and Shriek won't be as potent without a staff constantly generating peril
Is where I stand
see that's swung too far the other direction IMO
You can't get Shriek with Crit Aura, for one
I put zero stock in anything dome provides besides its toughness regeneration
Crit aura >.> a necessary sacrifice
not even the 50% DR when it breaks?
How do you deal with Trash with the EP Assaii
don't get me wrong, I dont really USE the revolver, it's just there. I just kinda willy nilly spam assail to 100% peril then go poke at things.
I run 90 toughness psyker
When I remember I plop down a shiwld.
I really like dome on my Assail/EP build. It's a nice safety net for the team. Personally I'm never going to be top damage like some of you so I just stay alive and be useful
Me too. And I've tanked a sniper shot thanks to that 50% DR
It's not 90 after curios
but with 50% DR from Dome break, 33% from One with the Warp, 2 DR nodes for 10% and standing next to a Zealot with 15% DR Aura
got hit with a Sniper right after the dome broke and it only took ~100 Toughness off
I can see that yeah
Living on the edge lol. I run 120 toughness + 10% from curio perks + an extra wound and I still go down cus I'm bad
But that’s vastly different from “my dome broke and I took a sniper shot with 90 toughness and 50% DR”
not even toughness substats is some wilding my guy
why are you getting hit by snipers? You know there's this giant laser of doom that you jjust have to dodge right?
Who needs toughness when you have gunners res sniper res and uh
Idr what the last thing I have is
It’s something
UPDOOT
Did you know you can dodge every attack in the game? You don't even need hp or toughness, just dodge everything 4head
Dodging is for cowards, I block sniper shots with my face to protect my allies
What's that? Weapons have a dodge count and you were in melee?
That's what I'm saying?! People still take damage????
I will say I have noticed since I started taking 15+20 gunner resistance that I notice I can usually get into cover or put up my dome before my health starts going down
Snipers insta-shoot when dome breaks and the giant laser of doom doesn't render if a dome is up sometimes
solution, don't use dome.
but IIRC I was fighting some Ragers at the time and was slightly preoccupied
did update break anything? 
Max stamina gaming
Stamina doesn't affect dodge count 
some dude yesterday literally used this logic to justify why smite is "garbage".
ppppfffftttt you fight ragers?

ragers are just trying to be your friend sir.
Nope but it can affect other things
they just want some hot chocolate.
And you don’t need hp and toughness anyways
Sometimes the big red laser is blocked by the Ogryns shield but the Ogryn decides to step out of the way just when the sniper shoots no I'm not salty about that
They wanted to axe me a question
i wanna attch a wound curio, but 200+hp is cool
several of them, in fact
I find they just want to be axed some questions and have a nice sleep afterwards
You can use a wound curio if you want, but with med stims existing they're in a worse spot then ever
IMO 1 hp, 1 toughness, 1 whatever is the way to go
Gotta give ragers the'ole double poke poke from the mk4ds.
yes, anti-nurgle stimms is based
I mean, you aren't always going to get a health stim. I perfer the wound curio for the safety it provides when you teammates are dumb and res you in fire, which happens to be every 3rd run or so on QP
Pretty sure you're guaranteed ~2 health stims per map
on Damnation anyways
Yeah but that also assumes your dumbass teammates don't take/waste them
You can... stimm... my health..
if you have dumbass teammates wasting stimms then you can't count on them to actually pick you up either
I prefer a build with more safety since I QP a lot and only run with premades over comms once a week or so
Hence my dome + extra toughness + wound preference
I only run QP
There's other modes?
It's been weeks since I died due to losing the 2nd wound
Gotta have that extra difficulty.
99% of the time it's getting trapped or knocked down and then team runs off/gets forced back and I bleed out
The next level after only QPing is only using meme builds.
okay actually make that 90%; 9% is getting ledged by barrels
actually losing all my hp twice happens almost never
Spidey sense mod is helping a lot with the silent specials.
does any1 know if columnus has dum dum?
Barrel Space Program is a problem when I'm wielding my purgatus. I see free extra fire
it does
Confirmed, I have it
shares blessings with the rest of the IAG's
Mh assail does feel better than smite
Smite is good if you need CC, but Assail is the king of blitzes right now
Only problems with it are A: the extra penetration upgrade is almost mandatory, so costs an extra talent point
and B: you don't get to have Psykinetic's Aura (CDR on Elite/Specialist kill for entire team)
so some times BB is better, and then Smite wins if you need CC over damage
Assail's biggest advantage over BB is the horde clear, so if you're using a stave that already excels at horde clear the BB/Assail line becomes a lot thinner
I mean I run BB on both Trauma and Purgatus
they value Psykinetic's Aura over Assail horde clear
I always have trouble with caster classes in games unless where talking like something battlemageish
my usually class archetype is often something like a rogue fast attacking melee class
Zealot was the first class i leveled
but most of my playtime was preskilltree rework
When i finish leveling Psyker i have all classes leveled
nice
Vet i finished today
I fuckin hate
The bug in the new carnival
Everytime you meet the Chaos spawn
it throw you up the roof
thats the car to get you back outta there
The car is my second monitor
also I've never had that bug; wild
I just print screen
I know just giving you grief
Chad
Never got the cool car bug, do they even have those in 40k!??
Genghis Khan gave it to me
They said going fast is the way for psyker
God damn fatshark can't even do lore accurate bugs
hadron has blessed me, wanted to get surge finally and this is the first voidstrike i upgraded to get it
what should i change on it?
Do anyone play Gun Psyker with Siphon Warp?
I like how EP work now but it require me to consistently monitor my stacks and use rmb

Gunker with WC should be okay, the biggest downside is that if you run gaze you won't get the CDR for each stack because fatshark
What mods you running??
Wait, the survive the perils of the warp penance
I have to be exploding, and vent with shriek before I do?
Is that what it's asking me?
Yes
Run trauma with shriek and warp charges and you'll have that penance done in a single game
ye, it teaches you about the interaction, but potentially forms a bad habit with peril management
Purgatus BR flame pump build is a good option to do this, you can just go over 100% every time shriek comes off CD and you have aura and creeping flames to reduce it's CD
You can usually "save yourself" 20+ times in a single run
cheating in sedition 😔
yeah
I'm just surprised that this is what the penance is asking
ty ty o7
off to get my funny hat
For knifes, i am unable to roll anything other than minimum dmg or first strike. otherwise perfect knifes in the shop 😄
i am so tired of trying to find the columnus i want
ive spent nearly 2 full days that have literally just been darktide
how is the duelist sword and what is the usual playstyle with it? im new to the game and it looks cool but havent gotten to try it yet.
i just have warp nexus 1 but otherwise this seems like a good one yeah?
sustained fire to warp nexus and i guess unyielding to maniac?
sure
All the mods. 
Sustained to Nexus and Unyielding to 5% Crit Chance
Very nice staff btw. I'm jealous. I want a blazing trauma but haven't found a decent one yet
i was expecting to make this a rending tbh cause that's the blessing i have t4 of
my current rending staff only has 60% charge rate so wanted a better one
Sometimes the Big E works in mysterious ways
It's just a bunch of bug fixes, some of which affected the special twins mission
Well I was expecting they nerf Blaze, and Evis
lol fuck of course I got trolled by my team
😭
Dude exploded a barrel that killed me ( by sending me flying off the bridge ) just as a horde event came up so they wiped
The penance progress should still track
yup! it did
I'm used to it anyway I'm confined to SEA hell, and like half the Chinese people I play with are massive trolls 😔
NA is weird. Sometimes you get into a random QP and you just absolutely crush it, then you re-queue and get 3/4 the same players and wipe 3 minutes in
Question for a blaze trauma build. I saw one build it like so. why not in fire reborn instead of psychic vampire?
tbh i like essence harvest too but i see why inner tranquility is more important
If you're taking wildfire and perilous combustion, I don't see why you wouldn't take IFR
Atheneum recommends this build as something to contrast against.
Soulstealer I think is a important thing not to miss, as both warpfire and the stave damage will count for it, as will BR
Shield is probably just to make sure you aren't dead meat caught in open spaces
EP vs Siphon is probably up to you as a player. Personally I would take Siphon
Overall I'd say you have all the pieces with the exception of definitely pickup soulstealer
i'm not too big of a fan of bb tbh, feels too slow especially in higher difficulties. idk maybe i'm just using it wrong
only reason i'm not picking up smite is cause it feels redundant with the trauma staff
EP makes it charge 50% faster and no peril cost
i like venting shriek too much also
but yeah i'm struggling to figure out what to sacrifice for soulstealer
Yeah definitely take BR, I think the reason this build takes BR EP is so that you can snipe far away stuff with it. You're already going to be nuking everything nearby so hard with that trauma staff you will rarely gain any benefit from shriek since you need to hit stuff for the extra peril dump
So the shield + EP is so you can dump some BRs which are fast and free and remain safe from gunners
i was thinking shriek would let you cast more trauma rmbs TBH
(also i still occasionally blow myself up with perils of the warp so shriek is kind of a crutch)
Fair, just trying to give you my two cents why this build is the way it is
Rather than just "TAKE THIS CUS EMPEROR SAID SO"
shriek is still a massive dps increase
i do appreciate the logic, thank you
but yeah i'm struggling to think of where to get that last point for soulstealer
perfect timing, warp rider and kinetic deflection are all talents i'd like to keep
you can drop wildfire
saccing warp battery feels like a waste
oh really? isn't that important for blaze trauma?
Of everything you can give up, 6 warp charges is probably the least impactful
I still can't tell the difference between having it and not having
You want wildfire since it'll spread your trauma blaze stacks around, you want deflection since it's amazing, can't sac the crit talents.
Nothing else can really be dropped
4 stacks is still great

I run siphon without 6 stacks on my purgatus build. It's not required there either and it's quite similar to your build
wish i could give this thing a spin but i need to get some sleep soon. maybe tomorrow
But the extra warp resist and damage tho 🥺🥺🥺
Yeah, Siphon is a deep keystone, you need more talent points to get to the bottom and in a blaze trauma build you just have so many other mandatory things you can't skip
I've ended up just doing EP brain burst a few times just because it's cheaper than full warp siphon, I want them top tree skills
also what's the safe peril for a rmb trauma?
it doesn't seem to be 97% like brain burst
The number for peril should jump to be noticeably bigger and you'll hear the high peril sound queue if you're in self-explosion range on the next cast

Don't actually think I've blown myself up with BB yet tho
That went about as expected
gets into game with 3 zealots on melee only auric
they're all invi zealots
bout to have a bad time
What staff you use?
been trying other stuff atm since I got bored of Purgatus and the newer version of the laspistol
testing it out in the meat grinder, 80% seems to be a good range and not blow yourself up
I mean, you have the F key safety net with your build
So should be fairly easy not to grenade oneself
Oh don't worry I self-grenaded several times learning my EP/Assail build last week
Which is better to build based on just stats ignoring blessings and perks
HAHAHA CHUCKING THESE FREE RMB ASSAILS IS GREAT.... WAIT WHAT'S THAT NOISE??!?! OH FU....
I'd go with left
Alright, just unsure which is best dump stat
Right is the better imo, blast radius is a key stat on trauma.
blast radius pretty important tho
@plucky flax btw I tried out your khorne zealot and had a blast ty
oh yeah I was doing some really stupid shit
But it's too fun to just smash left click and bite into stuff.
standing in a jump-up spot face tanking like 8 crushers in a row and just left click until everything dies
FS sell me some heretical khorne theme skins. 
if revenant is up I just go for it 
oh just got this one, this better then?
that's pretty good
Trauma staff just effortlessly bullying crushers and maulers brings a smile to my face
What's the dump-stat on voidstrike again?
Yeah currently running voidstrike and BB and wanna try something new
Better for sure, That would make a really nice shockwave trauma
this has been wonderful
man i hope i get a higher level nexus soon, need more crit chance
You want damage, blast, and charge rate on Trauma normally, unless doing fire trauma, in which case you need blast, charge, and quell
speaking of this whats the typical meta talents for a void build? currently just running what i thought looked good.
I run assail and true-strike to synergyse with the surge blessing.
Crit talents, soul stealer, and epathic evasion, true aim, and warp rider are all core talents you want for sure. What ability and keystone you go for is hotly debatable. Siphon is the most recommended but DD can also be played effectively.
Shield is typically the main ability with void, but you can use any of the three technically.
Oh yes I forgot to include True aim
Rider* my bad
but anything that is 'more damage' or 'crit' is going to be good
your blitz doesn't matter but if you find yourself needing an 'oh shit button', smite is okay
I'm testing out what I consider to be a meme build and going DD with void, so I can unite blue man with blue ball
i usually run brain-burst for kinetic flayer occasionally making life easier even if it is very low value
DD is actually quite fucking potent
the more consistent option is probably warp charges or EP if you balance both but DD makes you do so much damage
the power
Yes, but generally warp siphon is considered the META keystone for void
ye
basically this?
ayt i'm off to bed, gnight siblings
yeah that works
i prefer bubble shield since i don't really have a reason to use shriek on void
it's not bad for bonus damage on hordes to make life a little easier but it also pulls from existing talents if you wanna do soulfire
yeah that should work fine. You're missing warp rider but when you go siphon it's hard to fine talent points for everything.
I'm currently using the atheneum build which is this
^ ditto
so if I did use shield when is the good spots to use it? I've never used anything other then shriek
the thing that psykers do is sit on their hands and try to save shield
you should know shield has basically like 80% uptime with the CD aura
so the instant you see a ranged threat or anything that would like toughness regen, shield
you'd get it back or close to it by the end of the engagement
bubble shield will have your team kissing your feet if there's way too many gunners in the kitchen
Helpful tips I've found:
- Spam it. if you take bubble it lasts 25s and CD is 40s before any CDR.
- Use for open areas to prevent gunners from pinning your team down, can use it to close distances
- Breaching doors/chokes. It's great to force enemies into a melee "arena" by dropping it right inside a door/choke on them
^
It's also great for reviving downed teammates, and for objectives you need to fix like servo skulls
I like when teammates have bubble but don't like using it myself.
Basically carry me pls 
feel that
name checks out @plucky flax
i don't like shriek outside of soulfire and i only use scrier on gun psyker so i don't end up feeling bad over it

Yeah I'm bad at making big damage numbers like you @plucky flax .... So i just help my team 😛

All my curio's have combat ability regen purely because the bubble shield is as strong as it is, The next shield is ready in less than 10 seconds after the first dissapears.

also psykerkinetic's aura reduces the CD provided you're ekilling elites too
so it gets even more constnat the higher the difficulty is, provided you cook
btw, I tried the twins fight on Damnation immediately (as in, I did not try it on an easier difficulty first because I was overconfident), and my team failed very quick...
If you take Pyskinetic Aura, you kill 3 elites and it's recharged before the effect ends
i can do that
thanks for the help!
Bubble smiter my beloved
Yeah, i found in particular on certain special conditions like HISTG or Hound Packs where you're just going to have massive packs of specials to murderize, it comes back off CD so fast
I am using assail with my current voidstrike build, so that's not an option sadly.

@vagrant grove saving for later
Why Assail on Voidstrike? What are you comboing with it?
Presumably because he wants to?
Works well with DD
And also much better for killing trash shooters than vs is
I'm not critiquing, just curious.
can’t properly examine hands, bad blitz
The beauty of the talent tree is anyone can do whatever they want, and it's all mostly equally good because every ability comes with trade offs
even the 225 toughness build?
mostly
Even +9 stam with Kinetic Deflection. For the guy who wants to block crusher overheads
Does psyker has access to some blessing from weapons that generates toughness?
Uuu, that's a base:
its a brick
I have 900 plasteel, this will have to wait 
I'm not hoping for an upgrade over my current Deimos, though, it's already beautiful
Basically, assail shards clear hordes and load up a free crit for the surge-blessed voidstrike, which then will either kill or hard-knockdown the elites.
Changes?
Blessings to rampage and SS
...buzzzzbuzzzzbuzzzzbuzzz...
Assail is really good with vs. Vs for big guys. Assail for smol dudes.
Whuh?
kill elites , legit if u dont know ho else u can help your team
i’m not wicked, i’m not, i’m not!
just kill the elites and spceials
your team will be 👌 and then do whatever in the horde
cause anything can kinda clear hordes anyway,.
kid named deimos
Yeah..... anything can clear hordes..... >_>
Yes but some are slowe than other. My shovel laspistol build on vet 
i just let my buddy josh into the dance floor and he turns it into a mosh pit
For a while I was running BB, Tactical Axe and stub revolver. Let me tell you, I could NOT clear hordes
(I'm also bad but shhhh)
get yourself a buddy josh
Yes I need Josh's number
did the patch stealth break/fix anything?
did they fix surge staff getting crazy damage from the empower stack? last I played was a couple months back
nah, we call that that "toilet bowl"
the one with fancy lights around it is "the emperor's urinal"
i love that collar i will not take any slander
go to terra and bring your power to the golden throne.
now i know why the emperor shits on the golden throne 
is this interaction from before dead?
Yes. Surge staff no longer benefits from smite modifiers nor EP. After that, it was broken. It's proper fixed now.
it still needs to do more damage
Not dead, but it needs a lil buff.
I wish DD was more reliable
i think they should buff me. me, john psyker.
I thought psyker was the middle name of John Psyker Warhammer40K
DD stacks all expiring is kinda rough.
What perks are recommended for the trauma staff?
watching teammates kill your targets is rough
not seeing any targets around you is rough
DD is rough
Makes me sad. "No, that was my stack man. 🥲 "
it does feel bad to lose them all, but it works better when you focus less on that. you have them when you have them, and you're gonna lose them one way or another for various reasons, it is what it is
100% feels like psyker with warp charges at release
RIGHT
FartShack really is incompetent dev-wise
the artists don't deserve the devs they put up with
i must stop what i am doing and shoot this random ranger that is unaware of my entire team’s existence to get a few dd stacks
Fire trauma is flak + crit chance
Other trauma is flak + maniac / carapace
fire trauma... like if you're using soul blaze?
if only john melk could give me blazing spirit on trauma
no, his proper name is Sour Milk
YIP.
Flak + crit chance and blazing spirit + nexus.
need to get another staff... fucking blessings locked.
annoying asf if you dont have time to nolife a game
john melk always deciding whether to crash my game or give me a staff with t4 terrifying barrage
yep, I have both trauma versions
well mines a pos staff then right now and i'll use one of my other ones til i get materials
I've got a mere 68 plasteel, but nearly 10k diamantine... i wish there were more uses for diamantine.
every day i wake up with only 24 plasteel in my pocket
I'm really hoping we get a material conversion option in the future
we'll just have to wait for the FartShack devs to slowly reimplement stuff from Vermintide
"we wanted to create a whole new experience"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
give red items
I vaguely remember someone from reddit suggesting that diamantine be usable to improve the base-stats of a weapon as a modification.
I had an idea a couple nights back - give people a reason to play auric by giving a single mat when you complete an auric run (say, a single crystallized prometheum shard) that can unlock a locked slot on an item
Neat idea
I'd gladly suffer through 45 minutes of madness to perfect a weapon
I mean I wouldn't but This isn't maelstrom stuff
Auric missions can be crazy but they're not THAT bad
Hmmm...
but it is funny, especially on a 79 Warp resist sword that's otherwise a bit borked
like if you were going to build an Illisi to spam special attacks as often as possible... that's about as good as you're going to get (low First Target excepting)
oof
Illisi is best against crowds/horde
really isn't a good reason to spam special with it
Mixed hordes are a thing
it's not as good as Slaughterer, but it's not a bad build
bad build would be something like Exorcist
I've had my shit stopped by a scab horde more times than I'd like without the warp special up
you risk dropping your slaughterer stacks with charging your sword
no you don't
