[kindred ivy]

Anythung that a revolver doesnt 1tap

[azure bridge]

I hate to ask this but could you link me your build so I can have a frame of reference?

[kindred ivy]

Ep.smite will kill withojt shrek

And thats insane good

[half iron]

i will kill with weapons

[plucky flax]

At the beginning.
https://youtu.be/yk3r1ejk5PQ

[azure bridge]

TYVM

[plucky flax]

[bleak tulip]

[kindred ivy]

Smite them

Just fucking smite them

[azure bridge]

question, does the 5% elite damage allow the staff to meet any break points or am I better off just not taking it?

[plucky flax]

One crit it a horde replenish all your toughness.

[bleak tulip]

oh yeah which mod do you use for crosshair @plucky flax

[plucky flax]

No you want cdr aura.

[bleak tulip]

is it that annoying one

[plucky flax]

Crosshair remap?

[azure bridge]

unfortunate

[kindred ivy]

24% cdr is bustedo

[bleak tulip]

I just need something brainless to put a dot for plasma

[radiant sleet]

But what if I want to use Shrek the onion loving Ogre

[plucky flax]

I cleared the twins with this build ezpz
https://youtu.be/LIblNd7RN9w

[azure bridge]

call me a heretic, but I like having warp flurry for faster casting on my blaze staff, which is why i was wondering about the elite damage and whether or not it'd let me meet a breakpoint on something

[plucky flax]

How do you crit without nexus?

[azure bridge]

5% on the staff, 5% node, 7.5% from being psyker, nets me 17.5% which is enough if you cast enough

[half iron]

tell the staff to hit harder (sometimes)

[plucky flax]

If you run flurry might as well not run blaze.

[azure bridge]

I mean it works, clears whole groups of baddies, sets hordes on fire

[plucky flax]

Fair.

[azure bridge]

allows me to more quickly dispatch elites

so proc PC

[kindred ivy]

Ifu run tf u might aswell not

[azure bridge]

if i'm remembering this correctly 9 stacks of soulfire will wipe out any enemy mostly

save like crusherse

but thats what infinite knockdown is for

[plucky flax]

To me it's not ideal but if it works for you go ahead.

[kindred ivy]

U need 3 crits

To put 9 flames

Or kill 3 elites

[azure bridge]

yeah its not ideal, i wish i could have both, its just i hate casting slow lol

[kindred ivy]

If u running that perk

[radiant sleet]

What you do is take nexus AND you get a Zealot friend that takes the crit bonus on blazing piety so when they kill enemies you get 5 percent crit. Also have them take chorus dmg boost.

It's like having a personal damage/crit booster at all times

[plucky flax]

I have 80% charge rate.

[kindred ivy]

Only the center does dmg anywya

[azure bridge]

I do too, its too slow for me xD

[half iron]

every wizard goes through the struggle of taking 20 seconds to cast a 24 damage spell

[kindred ivy]

And if u gonna rely on burns

[plucky flax]

[kindred ivy]

Just fucking purgatus?

[half iron]

i go through the struggle of having hadron steal my plasteel hadron you fucking loser mcmeaniehead

[azure bridge]

i figure by sheer volume of casts I'll get the crit eventually

[kindred ivy]

Its not thag hard

[azure bridge]

I'm guessing I want the CDR so i can spam shriek as often as possible?

thus more soulfire stacks?

[plucky flax]

Purg trying to show up against blaze trauma xd

[safe breach]

what kind of curios yall running?

[azure bridge]

two toughness and 1 health

[willow hazel]

Yes, and this kinda makes Flurry + Blaze worse. Blazing Spirit caps at 6 stacks, so after Venting you are just out a blessing

Flurry + Rending would at least buff the soulblaze damage against crushers

[azure bridge]

I like the rending shockwave one... i really do

[kindred ivy]

Truama force is useless

[azure bridge]

I just can't find one

[kindred ivy]

Its soo shut

Its insane

Jusr revolver them

[half iron]

wounds. my main goal is to blow up and act like i don’t know nobody.

[kindred ivy]

Or something

[azure bridge]

pluls it doesn't help with hordes when shriek is on cd

I have found scenarios where throwing down a trauma blast lights the horde on fire which helps out

[plucky flax]

Is this the spirit of darcy?

[wheat tulip]

health because chip damage is what does me in

[azure bridge]

do you think i'd be better served going flurry/rending?

[kindred ivy]

U need to critbto oneshitbwith it too

[plucky flax]

Imo rending is useless for trauma. I know people like it but not for me.

[strong gulch]

Rending shockwave is still bugged right?

[kindred ivy]

Its so fucking ubfortunate the dmg is lower than a revolver

[azure bridge]

can i hear the reasons you think so?

[kindred ivy]

Ut does no dmg

At least u can vope with flame

Cope*

[plucky flax]

It only increases damage against very tanky stuff like crushers. It's useless on everything else since you 1 or 2 shots them anyway.

[azure bridge]

I can see the logic in that

[plucky flax]

I can play melee maelstrom without rending and kill all the crushers and bulwarks by myself.

So it's literally useless for me.

[willow hazel]

What else would you take with Flurry then? Neither Nexus or Blazing do enough on their own .

[radiant sleet]

You should take a keyboarding/typing class you seem to be having some issues with basic spelling

[willow hazel]

It's more that it's just that Rending is better than the other options if you want a fast charging trauma

[kindred ivy]

Ibam typing on phone

[plucky flax]

Blaze trauma is the only trauma build just blaze it up

[kindred ivy]

And i dont respect englush lenguage at all

[strong gulch]

If you are using trauma as a CC tool or to set up melee, rending shockwave is nice.

If you are using trauma as your main damage, blazing nexus is better imo.

[half iron]

woaaaaaaa story of undertale

[strong gulch]

Tho saying that, my biggest damage was with blazing shockwave. 💀

[kindred ivy]

Overkill smg

Dmg*

Try doing 900k with less than 300k overkill

[azure bridge]

keeping in mind your thoughts on it only functioning on bigger targets, if you were forced to take blazing spirit/Flurry, or Flurry/Rending, which between those two would you think would give the better performance?

[plucky flax]

Timestamped the scoreboard. 1.1 Mil with 240k overkill
https://youtu.be/H51iMwJ6f9A?t=36m51s

[radiant sleet]

Alright there ain't no way you are actually like this, this must be intentional I'm just going to ignore you like everyone else. It was fun feeding you for a while though

[azure bridge]

they've been at it almost all day, this is the correct course of action

[plucky flax]

Flurry rending if I have to choose between those 2

[azure bridge]

ty for your input, guess I need to hunt down a good flurry rending staff

[plucky flax]

[azure bridge]

I know it hurts lol

but forgive me none the less

I gotta cast fast

[half iron]

the only fast cast i need is at the bank. i need to catch more fish‼️💯💯

[opaque charm]

What should I do if I wanted a Psyker with as much toughness/toughness damage reduction as possible (but still end up with a useful build)

[ornate hamlet]

Get the toughness and toughness DR talents

[opaque charm]

I saw that Scriers gaze has 20 tdr - is that better than the dome?

(since I don't have to stay in the dome)

Seems like it will mesh well with one with the warp

But I don't know if it's practical to pick up those random 5% tdr nodes

[ornate hamlet]

Well, depends on how often you want to use scrier's gaze and what kinds of weapons you're taking with it

It pairs well with stuff that doesn't generate peril

[opaque charm]

Yeah I was thinking of Reshaad Axe and maybe the Fanning Revolver

[cloud heron]

I mean, you may as well play zealot at that point

[ornate hamlet]

I don't recommend either for psyker, honestly

Combat axes are really slow without the attack speed bonuses from zealot and vet

And the new revolver has no cleave

[opaque charm]

Yeah. I guess I found it better than the standard revolver purely because it has more ammo/seems like it would be easy to maximize its insane damage potential on a Psyker

As for the melee I'm open to dueling sword or whatever

[zinc phoenix]

Only way to know is to go

[opaque charm]

I am just confident I'd get the easy horde clear with Reshaad and maybe even get more out of it with Psyker 's damage

[zinc phoenix]

If you have a build concept you think is underrated best thing to do is prove it

[ionic needle]

I kind of enjoyed using the old chainsword on my scrier build

[zinc phoenix]

Idk if it’s good in a math sense but chainsword fun 👌

[ionic needle]

The heavies have good cleave and the special can really devastate most things pretty easily

[opaque charm]

Last time I did that on Psyker they removed "Wrack and Ruin" from the game

[olive ember]

Wrack and ruin is just perilous combustion now

What?

[static needle]

Yooo this could be kinda lit paired with scrier's gaze, right?

[strong gulch]

PC is way better than wrack and ruin. Glad we got an upgrade.

[azure bridge]

man, if only rending shockwave gave you rending instead of brittle lol

its in the name FS

[obsidian nimbus]

the way DT handles some things, like finese is crit chance when it sounds like it's movement based

[severe folio]

before wrack and ruin got removed, it was “soulblaze on hit” instead of “soulblaze on kill”

so, have to say its kind of pretty stronger than perilous

it also have no cap and proc 4 sb to all enemies around

[zinc tartan]

Just wanted to pop in and say Purgatus/BB build is the most fun in the game.

That is all.

[hexed geyser]

Zealot knife 🙃

[ornate hamlet]

Finesse even manages to be different

Finesse as a weapon stat seems to be attack speed and crit/headshot damage

But finesse outside of weapons seems to only be crit/headshot damage

And crit chance is delegated to crit bonus

Which also mildly dictates crit damage

[strong gulch]

Wrack and Ruin was originally killing elites or specials with BB. Then it was changed to hit by BB. I can't remember how many stacks or the AOE tho, but I do remember those getting changed around.

I'd say not having use BB is a buff.

[ornate hamlet]

But some weapons have a higher base crit chance that is not mentioned, such as laspistols not having a crit bonus stat and having nutty crit chance

[heavy wigeon]

And don't forget the existence of crit strings.

[ornate hamlet]

Which are not explained and different for many weapons

Why yes, of course I'd know this weapon has a string of 5 and this other one 3

The game has provided me all relevant information

[bleak tulip]

shrimply intuit the design intent of the developers

[ornate hamlet]

idis quy tchrimple

[untold widget]

probably don't have a crit bonus because they fire twice on crits.

[lethal lagoon]

I love wrack and ruin when it was BB on hit 😦

was great boss damage too

Cause you could attack enemies around the boss and get crazy stacks

Should replace useless kinetic flayer with some version of wrack and ruin

[hasty breach]

wtf is crit strings

[strong gulch]

Ooh I agree.

Also yeah, on hit was much better. Still, you had to give up stuff to take it.

[lethal lagoon]

A series of shots that have their crit tied together but at the same time each have an individual crit roll.

So a 4 crit string has 4 crit rolls, and if 1 roll is a crit, they are all crits.

[hasty breach]

ok that's helpful to know... is that why columnus is so good?

[lethal lagoon]

Yes, on Columbus your crit chance is roughly tripled.

You also have more severe diminishing returns though with crit strings, so more crit has less value.

But that's not really an issue here

Just a general statement on crit strings.

[robust jewel]

Anyone looking to grind the malleus monstronum penance here?

[cloud heron]

why does melk only ever offer me guns

just give me surge 4

[lethal lagoon]

Need to run the 2 Psyker Melk Metaᵗᵐ

[willow hazel]

embrace the gun

return to gunker

[cloud heron]

my psyker has never even held a gun before and you'll have to kill me before that changes

[radiant sleet]

I got surge 4 somewhere around 5 times just rolling grey to blue, and that was in the span of maybe 200k-400k dockets

Never seen it anywhere else

Getting the Godroll void was ezpz but I'm now at 2mil+ dockets trying to get a half decent deimos, still no luck

[strong gulch]

Melk actually has something.

[queen fog]

a small price to pay for a 380

Nice find

[radiant sleet]

I really want to try surge staff again once I finish my void build, is it in a good place these days? I remember I played it when it was so OP I swapped to warp charges because I felt dirty

[strong gulch]

It's fine. Needs a small buff.

[primal tusk]

almost exclusively gun here revolvering, but may change to laspistol mk X

am considering voidstaff when i get high level and a good one though

[obsidian nimbus]

Might be a dumb question but i heard someone a while back in chat say staffs aren't that great for high level stuff; just curios if anyone can second that? cause i do enjoy the staffs

[wanton sandal]

whoever said that is a goofball

do not listen to them

[chrome patrol]

i play auric maelstrom with staff lol

[wanton sandal]

it was prolly that mice dude that keeps edging out over ep smite or w/e and revolvers

[obsidian nimbus]

even still; the staff I wanna use im not sure given im not 30 yet if it'll still be good for end stuff; Like i wanna use the purgatus staff.

[wanton sandal]

purgatus is good for its own use cases

even does good dmg against armor

[strong gulch]

All staves are good enough to use in harder content.

[obsidian nimbus]

so i shouldn't use it as a main?

[wanton sandal]

just take talents and melee to coimplement it

[chrome patrol]

purgatus is very strong you might wanna take brainburst for range or deimos force sword or duel sword

to balane out armored enemies

[radiant sleet]

They were a certified troll, or very intoxicated

[bleak tulip]

purg is fine, you just dont do shit against crushers

[obsidian nimbus]

yeah i use a force sword currently; it feels really good so far

[chrome patrol]

so you are fine using it up to auric maelstrom no worries

[wanton sandal]

consider taking wildfire talents as well with purgatus

[obsidian nimbus]

gotcha yeah i dont really do Auric even on my 30 vet

[wanton sandal]

purgatus applies warpflame when it crits

[strong gulch]

Just be aware that some staves need a great roll to feel and play well.

Looking at you trauma.

[wanton sandal]

lol

[chrome patrol]

was just saying since its the highest difficulty and you asked for high level gameplay

[wanton sandal]

without a decent radius on trauma its unusable

[strong gulch]

and charge rate.

[obsidian nimbus]

Soo Purgatus and force sword are ok for most stuff, yeah?

[strong gulch]

But yeah. Low radius is so doo doo.

[wanton sandal]

yeah you'll be fine

[radiant sleet]

Voidstrike is def god tier for auric+ with a good roll on it, I used to think it was weird but after surge blessing I am addicted to void staff

[chrome patrol]

yea

[wanton sandal]

you wont need to worry about the particulars of builds until auric p much

[obsidian nimbus]

Using a void strike currently; but i dunno it probably is good i just would prefer something more visually nice than what feels like them re=using the primary attack

[radiant sleet]

@obsidian nimbus Voidstrike is EXTREMELY audibly pleasing once you get surge blessing and get double shots on heads

[static needle]

How often do you wanna fully charge this build for trauma staff?

i feel like a faster rate of attack would be better to proc crits, therefore benefitting thru blazing spirit, right?

[wanton sandal]

i think crit rate scales with charge

tho i dont have evidence for that lol

just feels i crit more with full charges

[cloud heron]

you almost always fully charge it, unless you're trying to specifically kill something and you know you dont need to

because charging it increases the aoe size

[static needle]

i feel like for this staff flurry is a must because of the fact that it gets waaay better against hordes

[strong gulch]

You can also to faster charges to keep things off of you or your team.

[static needle]

with that blessing

[wanton sandal]

depends on the trauma u wanna build

[static needle]

the one i have. check above

[cloud heron]

you need nexus for the crit if you have blazing spirit. nexus makes a massive difference

[static needle]

.

[strong gulch]

The area outside of the the circle also hits targets and they can get soulblaze stacks.

[empty pivot]

any bubble chad psyker wana help us beat hardmode twins?

[wanton sandal]

then wyeah get wn4

flurry is used for rending trauma staff

[willow hazel]

hot take: it's the best staff

[lethal lagoon]

Surge might actually be the best pub staff simply because pubs generally don't kill ranged mobs

Esp if they are lone ones.

They just get shot in the back and get confused when they die.

[willow hazel]

maybe thats it'. I mostly play pubs

[wanton sandal]

surge is my fav staff

[frail harness]

could the shop sell me a 380... of anything other than tac axe? lol

[cloud heron]

to be fair, axes are like half of the melee weapons in the game for any one class

cuz we needed like 6 of them for some reason, 4 of which are just bad

[untold widget]

and probably the least used

[wanton sandal]

cant remember the last time i saw a tacaxe user

shit needs a rework

[untold widget]

i mean last i checked I had to hit a crusher like 7-10 times with an axe to get the kill

that's just unrealistic

[wanton sandal]

is it meant to be an assassin tool for single target flurry attacks?

knife

is it meant to be a midground damage dealer?

only cowards deal in half measures

[cloud heron]

the problem is there's 6 of the things. How many versions of an axe can you have?

[zinc phoenix]

You’re not wrong, the axes have big padding energy

[wanton sandal]

"40 unique weapons on launch!"

ok now how do we get those 40 weapons?

uhhh idk make a shitty axe and change up the moveset ig

[zinc phoenix]

“We’re out of unique weapon ideas”
“Fuck it just add assloads of slightly different looking axes”

Like mfer where is my chain dagger

[delicate stratus]

Interesting question

[zinc phoenix]

How about a chain gun

🤔

[delicate stratus]

I wanna crit build and need a melee weapon suited for utilizing it.

Dueling sword? Knife? Devil Claw? Or something goofy

[zinc phoenix]

I want a gun where the special action is revving the chainsaw and smacking someone with it

Gunsaw

[cloud heron]

blazing spirit illisi

[zinc phoenix]

Ideally it’ll be a revolver gunsaw

[wanton sandal]

gimme chainshovel

haters will say it's fake

[delicate stratus]

Why blazing spirit exactly

[cloud heron]

because it procs on crit

[wanton sandal]

who doesn't want a firesword?

[cloud heron]

i was mostly joking. It's pretty bad

[wanton sandal]

maybe run that with bloodthirsty as well for guaranteed crits

[delicate stratus]

Yeah that's why I was like 'hm'

[wanton sandal]

meme builds are legit (except maybe in auric)

:^

[cloud heron]

bloodthirsty got nerfed some time ago. You'd want shred for it

[wanton sandal]

i thought bloodthirsty was 100% crit on special kill?

[cloud heron]

for one hit

[wanton sandal]

wtf

[radiant sleet]

Nah not even a hot take, I love it so much not just for pubs, premade too.

I have an Ogryn with damage boost taunt and a Zealot with damage boost chorus + crit bonus for allies on blazing piety

When they giga buff the team I can 1 shot a crusher with my voidstrike

[zinc phoenix]

Hold my chain beer gotta use my chain shovel to dig a chain latrine for my chain shit

[delicate stratus]

hm

is new knife any good?

It seems gimmicky

[zinc phoenix]

Lacks chain therefore bad

Science says chain good

[willow hazel]

I meant surge staff

[zinc phoenix]

Surge staff is great for builds that need absolutely assloads of peril

[robust sierra]

should I get this from melk?

[radiant sleet]

Ohhh yes that is a slightly hotter take in that case, but I love surge too I used it plenty before void and plan to go back to it, I'll just swap deimos to illisi instead

[zinc phoenix]

Fat shark dual wield weapons when

[willow hazel]

It's strong. The trick is just spamming push attacks for single target.

[zinc tartan]

Full charge. But remember that a semi charge still will stagger and knock things back. Its fantastic crowd control.

[vast olive]

Good psyker builds?

[zinc tartan]

There are a ton! What kinda playstyle you looking for?

[vast olive]

Looking for good heavy enemy killing power

Type of build that literally kill steal everything

[zinc tartan]

Ooooo Voidstrike or Brain Burst for that.

[vast olive]

got a tree build for it?

[zinc tartan]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959

That is a great place to start

[vast olive]

thx

[midnight lotus]

Is it worth going for warp charges with brain burst?

[zinc tartan]

Gives you an idea of what all the weapons do

[wanton sandal]

nah, go ep

ep increases damage and charge rate

[zinc tartan]

Yeah, EP is crazy fun with Brain Burst.

I was playing with Warp and it just didn't synergize as well. The added speed you get for EP charges are addictive.

[wanton sandal]

make sure you pick up the guaranteed EP stack on special/elite kill

i think it procs with BB

[zinc tartan]

Yes, it procs after a kill with an EP BB meaning you can chain fast BB's over and over again. Its REALLY fun.

[shadow quail]

Smite op

[azure bridge]

should I buy this

[zinc tartan]

I whipped up a build of what I am currently using for elite clearing on my psyker. You can use that website to check out other builds.

[kindred ivy]

Revolver

Scrier revolver

Likelly has the higest dmg xd

Ubcan think og

However

Its be troll

[static needle]

Knife is fun but definately not optimal for psyker

[vocal iron]

why do that when i can use smite with EP?

[static needle]

Duelling sword will always be the better knife, if u catch my drift 😏

[vocal iron]

yeah but knife has cool points

so

idk

[lethal lagoon]

Psykers have infinite push attacks, the mobility is also insane. It's 100% a meta weapon on psyker.

[static needle]

big sadge that it isnt good on psyker

[lethal lagoon]

It's literally great on psyker lmao

[static needle]

i disagree, just compare it to DS4. Its redundant

DS does the exact same thing but better at a slightly lesser mobility

[vocal iron]

feels

[lethal lagoon]

You can ask some of the better players, like Arcotash or Grond 🤷‍♂️ Also Pygex who wrote the psyker guide.

[vocal iron]

wish version of dueling

[lethal lagoon]

That said, new knife doesn't feel as good as old on psyker.

Dueling sword 4.

The others are kind of mid

[static needle]

i already asked here before and many people seemed to agree, unfortunately.. But knife is definately very cool still. I partially made it viable with by running flesh tearer + riposte with scrier's gaze

keep in mind ive just been using the catachan mk 6 but that one is better with hordes to my knowledge

[static needle]

5 has so many cool points that it's good

[vocal iron]

new knife feels better imo

[static needle]

xD

[static needle]

yea the sweep attacks are kinda good with hordes

[vocal iron]

i prefer its push attack too

[static needle]

esp if you run lacerate + flesh tearer or flesh tearer + riposte

[vast olive]

ok thx

[untold niche]

is there a sale on aqualias?

[vocal iron]

i have lacerate uncanny but im gonna take off uncanny perhaps

[static needle]

thats kinda nice, id put on flesh tearer along with lacerate and make it a pure bleed knife

[vocal iron]

yeah uncanny feels bad

might try mercy

[static needle]

yeah thats like trying to make it into a duelling sword, which it isnt

[static needle]

not good compared to uncanny*

[vocal iron]

hmm

maybe haymaker

[static needle]

And then again, i would just run DS4 or 5 to deal with armor using uncanny

[static needle]

eh

idk

too unreliable

just run lacerate + flesh tearer and itll be reliable enough to kill hordes

and with scriers ofc

[vocal iron]

yeah

[static needle]

just a reminder: uncanny is important on single target weapons like Deimos or duelling swords, its amaaazing on those

[vocal iron]

i know

[static needle]

just keep in mind that if youre running what i suggested with the knife, you might wanna run revolver as your main weapon to deal with crushers, cause i dont think the knife will be the best at that.... it cant stagger them reliably, nor can it do high burst damage

[vocal iron]

this shit gets boring lol

[static needle]

it do... yeah

id try the Mk 5 DS

its cool factor 100

and only a bit worse than mk 4

lol

[untold widget]

i prefer the mk2 over mk5 if you're gonna ignore the mk4

[static needle]

huh really?

[untold widget]

for the attack pattern

[static needle]

i thought mk 2 was dog

[untold widget]

i really hate overhead chops wtih rapiers

[vocal iron]

is precog even worth

for knife i mean

[static needle]

no

[vocal iron]

l0l

[static needle]

u want riposte if anythingg

cause crits are more important and more reliable on knife

[vocal iron]

knife has high crit though nat right?

and psykers have like 7.5 base

[static needle]

uh not necessarily but it has fast attack speeds so the crit will trigger more often

than with a deimos

for example

but only slightly faster

[obsidian nimbus]

So if im using Smite; can someone give me some pointers on making it generally better talent wise

[vocal iron]

ask Maze

[static needle]

yet i do think its worth going for a crit build on knives instead of uncanny.. Id just use a DS for uncanny builds

[static needle]

dont run any of its augments

kinda not worth it

[obsidian nimbus]

really?

[static needle]

not lightning storm anyway

cause that only triggers on left click

which u barely use

[vocal iron]

dont run it* (for pubs)

[obsidian nimbus]

that doesn't really anwser my question though

[static needle]

i know

ill get there

:=)

[vocal iron]

smite garbage tier for random games

[obsidian nimbus]

lol

[steady terrace]

Time to start my space wizard journey

[static needle]

@obsidian nimbus for smite, running warp charges instead of empowered psionics can be better cause you get bonus damage and about the same amount of peril generation reduction

[vocal iron]

you can literally stun a horde of cushers while you team gets diamantine and then the 8 crushers kill you

[vast olive]

how is it posssible for you to brain rupture a multiple targets?

[sullen bobcat]

You don't

[rich jolt]

Uh you cant

Theres a perk that allows you to randomly cause a headburst on people you attack

Maybe youre seeing that and getting confused?

[vast olive]

Yea thats probably it

Ive only seen it cuz I mainly played vet til now

Mostly its flying blue shards THAT STEALS MY FUCKING KILLS

[rich jolt]

Assail spam go brrrrrr

[vast olive]

https://tenor.com/view/yondu-arrow-marvel-guardiansofthegalaxy2-ravagers-gif-14617100

Fucking Yandos man

[radiant sleet]

Dont forget the purple crystals, those are the best ones 💜

[cobalt atlas]

What to swap out further

[obsidian nimbus]

i'd use brain rupture more if it could lol

[vast olive]

lmao

[zinc phoenix]

Use it primarily as a quick stun. It’s there to give your team a breather, if it’s all you do you’re not getting much from it. Take advantage of all the peril it generates to power venting shriek. Peril turns into fire turns into damage. Warp charges are a good combo as are the standard psyker perks (more damage from peril, healing from peril). Surge is a reasonably good combo for snap shotting specials if you want even more peril, otherwise void is also a great pick.

[wanton sandal]

idk maybe either cap out weak spot or elites

but i'd hold off until someone gives a second opinion

[wanton sandal]

yeah, mainly use it to give your team breathing space when shit hits the fan or to quickly stop muties/ogryns from fucking you up

also knocking down shooters if you can

talent wise, i heard people say wildfire smite is funny

[obsidian nimbus]

warp rupture?

[wanton sandal]

idk myself tho, but i do run warp charges for more uptiime

[zinc phoenix]

I can’t remember the names so here’s the build link. I run it pretty regularly on auric damn and it does great damage numbers

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9ae81d8e-97cc-4747-9116-14217bb6ae3e

Wildfire is a controversial pick around here but I think it combos very well with venting shriek. It’s also worthwhile to skip the last warp charge perk because two warp charges is meh.

Smite upgrade traits are zero value add

And empower is garbo with smite

[somber dew]

What would I wanna try to setup a Mk VI Combat Blade with on a psygunner?

[orchid nest]

uncanny, flesh tearer. perks are up to you. carapace, unyielding, maniac are good

[lethal lagoon]

When you see a large mixed horde, cast smite, use your shriek(with fire talent) after hitting 85% peril and keep holding smite. This will kill stuff like shotgunner packs outright. Pairs well with Perilous combustion.
Unless you are running empowered psonics, you don't wanna spam smite too often.
Also, generally speaking, smite usage will make it harder to learn the class and basic mechanics.

[ornate hamlet]

(one)

[gloomy magnet]

yes yes, im a platsteel beggar

[full egret]

wish there was a way to get higher crit chance without scriers

wish I could use scriers and warp charges

but activating scriers gets rid of warp charges

[gloomy magnet]

(press R

[hot zephyr]

How much crit are you trying to stack? There's already a ton of it

[jaunty iron]

So I rolled the staff on the right and the game just gave me the staff on the left as a mission reward. I don't know what one I should go in on and upgrade with better blessings.

[kindred ivy]

anyone wanting to do some aurics?

[wanton sandal]

poke around #vox-lfg-nasa #vox-lfg-emea #vox-lfg-apac

[kindred ivy]

no

[wanton sandal]

go for the left one, charge rate is very important with trauma

[zinc tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/mcmahon-crying-he-was-special-wwe-vince-mcmahon-gif-13313547165599993551

[wanton sandal]

can either turn it into a rending flurry or blazing warpn nexus

[hot zephyr]

Give the right one to hadron for warp nexus 4 then fix up the left one with flurry and %dmg

[wanton sandal]

tru, grabbing wn4 is pretty important

[jaunty iron]

gotcha thanks

[full egret]

Well I'd like more of it lol

I have surge and warp nexus and crit chance on my staff

but I'd like more crit

[hot zephyr]

Get a gun with Headhunter on it. 100% crit on every shot

Just need to wait a couple seconds between shots 😛

[full egret]

I want it for my double donk surge voidstrike

i want to double donk all day long

also I wish the projectile had a different shape

[hot zephyr]

Take scrier's gaze and the peril reduction so you can wombo-combo?

Best I can think of to achieve that

[full egret]

YEAH, I JUST FIND SCRIERS USELESS ON A STAFF

oops

anyways, it just builds too much peril

if I could say, stack warp charges reduction with the 20% of scriers, then it could work

but that ult generates peril fastewr than my staff can

[hot zephyr]

Yeah it doesn't work that well with a staff

[hasty breach]

i need a good flurry trauma build

anyone have a rec?

no snark, i want to try the staff and have a decent one

right now i just have an assail and venting shriek warp charge thing on by default

[urban sandal]

my current flurry trauma build uses dclaw, bb, shriek and warp charges

[main ruin]

Im having a hard time choosing a Psyker voice, which gets the least annoying?

[urban sandal]

that's just personal preference but I still crack up listening to female seer from time to time whereas male seer is so common that it gets old hearing him sing when he kills a specialist

[meager trail]

whats the dump stat on surge? quell?

[urban sandal]

warp res or quell

I usually go for warp res as dump stat

[main ruin]

I feel like "my beloved" would get easily annoying

[urban sandal]

that's the seer

[main ruin]

yeah, im toying with the voices and im between savant and loner

might just make both with each voice and figure which one to keep

[sonic coral]

I really wish we could change character sex and voice

[urban sandal]

I'd say just look up some of their voice lines on youtube so you don't waste your time

[sonic coral]

I am not leveling a fifth goddamn character

No matter how much I wish I had different voice lines

[radiant sleet]

Loner Psyker is #1 for me and will never get old as long as I live

he has a rare voiceline about the Garden of Nurgle

[urban sandal]

seer also has one for the impossible fortress

aka the citadel of tzeench

[radiant sleet]

I love that so much, but wait which one is seer? is that a female one?

[urban sandal]

seer is the my beloved personality

I think it's the female that talks about it but it might be shared between both genders

[radiant sleet]

that makes sense, thank you. I was considering savant for my singular alt psyker but that kinda pushes the decision towards female seer

not crazy about the male seer voice but to each their own

[ornate hamlet]

All personalities have the same name between male and female

Savant is savant on male and female and so on

[urban sandal]

I use female seer voice, it's both rare and my favourite

[radiant sleet]

ohh okay I never really looked, I just saw male loner and never looked back. Fit the backstory of my character perfectly.

[ornate hamlet]

Savant is also the best because it's not "my beloved my beloved" or "le quirky forced accent"

[radiant sleet]

idk I love the accent personally

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-lurking-gif-22179921

[radiant sleet]

what can I say, the shriek voicelines for him are bliss to the ears

[main ruin]

is the savant french? cant really tell

[obsidian nimbus]

savant the one that just insults the imperium constantly?

[radiant sleet]

that is loner

[obsidian nimbus]

right; thats what i picked then

the lines are stupid

[main ruin]

loners sounds german

[radiant sleet]

nah you picked the best one

[obsidian nimbus]

oh i know

every line is just insulting people

Ogryn speaks? Gets insulted

Zealot says something? Gets insulted

[radiant sleet]

mostly yes, but there are the occassional wholesome lines

[obsidian nimbus]

yeah when like they compliment you for killing maybe

its not bad btw

i just find it funny

[radiant sleet]

I do not remember exactly what the line was, but it was a seemingly friendly line between loner and the scottish female zealot

I gotchu, I also cackle at how much of a dick he can be

[limber silo]

I like when Loner talks to another Loner.
"Are you angry?"
"Well you could tell if I were angry, couldn't you?"
"Maybe I'm testing you."
"Maybe I am testing YOU."
"I hate this game."

[radiant sleet]

yup double loner is great, that is how you trigger the garden of nurgle line too, I have only seen it once and screenshot it

[limber silo]

Probably
P: "Why are you so angry all the time?"
Z: "I am not angry all the time. I'm positively cheery."
P: "Ah yes, you are a paragon of serenity for all to see."
Z: "Are you mocking me witch? ARE YOU MOCKING ME?! WHY I OUGHT TO... damn you witch."

[obsidian nimbus]

Ngl i think i prefer a laspistol over a staff lol

[wraith talon]

lies

savant’s the best

[limber silo]

Tbh, laspistol is super based on everyone

[obsidian nimbus]

just seems more reliable

[limber silo]

Psyker with laspistol is just permanently immune to gunfire as long as you are shooting

[dim parrot]

whats the one with the deep voice?

[wraith talon]

I think the dude’s south african

The fem option’s french tho

[dim parrot]

probably

[wraith talon]

Girlypop has the coolest accent ever

[limber silo]

Male-wise, Savant is the African sounding voice, Loner is the German, and Seer is the loon

[radiant sleet]

can we at least agree male seer is the worst of the 3 males

[wraith talon]

ngl he’s kinda iconic

[dim parrot]

savant the best fr og

[wraith talon]

he’s cool to have around

[limber silo]

How dare you, Savant is the worst

[wraith talon]

wtf

[limber silo]

Savant is so boring

Little goody two shoes psyker

[dim parrot]

the other male voices sound way to female idk

[wraith talon]

[wraith talon]

savant’s badass smh

[radiant sleet]

I wouldnt remove seer male from the game or anything, but he just has a punchable voice yknow

[limber silo]

I use Seer and I love being a freaky little creep

[wraith talon]

trueee

[radiant sleet]

"my shield my rules" okay dude

[wraith talon]

that goes without saying

everyone who hates savant is a creep

a heretic

[limber silo]

The worst psyker voice is by far the female seer

[radiant sleet]

yknow what thats fair I can see the appeal in that

[wraith talon]

my french girly is supreme

[wraith talon]

oh i thought you were about to insult my girl

[dim parrot]

I always get annoyed when I hear the loner honestly

[wraith talon]

he’s the edgy one right

[limber silo]

Male loner is nice because Richtofen

[dim parrot]

german

[wraith talon]

WHAT

[radiant sleet]

SHARDS OF HATRED SEEK MY HOES

[wraith talon]

he voices him

[urban sandal]

[radiant sleet]

FOES*

[limber silo]

Edgy and whiny

[wraith talon]

fem savant’s peak

hands down

[dim parrot]

his voice is just too high imo

[urban sandal]

just sounds like ultimis richtofen

[limber silo]

Female Seer just doesn't seem like as good voice acting as the other 5 voices

[wraith talon]

ohhh

[wraith talon]

She’s the one with a wonky accent right?

[radiant sleet]

listen, everyone elses mind is incomparable to his of course he is a bit on edge

[wraith talon]

wait

why aren’t there any american accents in DT

wth

[urban sandal]

she sounds more realistic, I would have said that about female savant tho

[limber silo]

He has some fun lines with the bully ogryn

[wraith talon]

WHAT

THOSE ARE FIGHTING WORDS

[wraith talon]

fem savant’s peak

[radiant sleet]

is bully the russian sounding one?

[wraith talon]

she will not take any shit talking

[wraith talon]

think so

[urban sandal]

female savant and male seer are sleeping face

[eager mantle]

For the emperor...I guess...

[wraith talon]

fym

[dim parrot]

bread

[wraith talon]

fem savant’s awesome

[limber silo]

Bully: "Everyone who stands in my shadow is dead already."
Loner: "But brute, I am standing in your shadow and I am not dead."
Bully: "Not yet."
Loner: "Is that a threat?"
Bully: "Not yet..."

Bully is the jerk sounding ogryn who doesn't like talking

[wraith talon]

which is the nice ogryn

[urban sandal]

im gonna make an ogryn later and give him bully voice

[wraith talon]

that ones my fav

[limber silo]

Brawler

[wraith talon]

ghost ping

[half iron]

hadron gave me blaze trauma now i can finally blow up

[limber silo]

Brawler: Yes sah, right away sah
Bully: Deep and moody voice
Bodyguard: Am Russian big man

[radiant sleet]

bodyguard + loner M = the fade into mystery/splat into oblivion voiceline

I love that one

[radiant sleet]

good gambling varlet, omnissiah be praised

[tender osprey]

can someone explain why smite is so good/popular? whenever i try to use it i seem to not have much luck, and the players around me seem to struggle with it too

[half iron]

nvm i remembered it was an emperor’s gift.
back to hating hadron

[ornate hamlet]

it isn't

people just realized that it's easier to take two years stunning ragers than to actually try to engage with the game

[limber silo]

I rarely see Smite and those I do see use it like morons

[radiant sleet]

Hadron gave me a near Godroll staff, I praise her even though she refuses to give me my Deimos

[urban sandal]

the few times I've thought having a smite psyker was a god send was really just when we're getting swarmed with elites likes maulers/ragers/crushers and we don't have a way to kill them quickly

or in hunting grounds

scab only mostly melee for example

[limber silo]

I see psykers just spam smite and never use their weapons. They die and look like idiots while doing it

[urban sandal]

psykers who smite trash hordes are a nuisance

[obsidian nimbus]

it staggers nearly everything

and your team can just cheap hit it

[limber silo]

It does no damage, stop smiting for damage

[half iron]

hadron bricked many trauma staffs just to get here.
she really wants me to have surge and terrifying barrage

[limber silo]

Just smite long enough to Shriek, then hold them until they die

Ezpz

[radiant sleet]

I still have not tried smite or upgraded brain burst lol

[limber silo]

I use Smite simply because as the middle Blitz it gives me better options for builds

[radiant sleet]

hadron bricked around 1mil traumas so I gave up but I want to try again

[half iron]

the big e gave me my blazing spirit so at least he’s on my side

[limber silo]

Honestly I see a lot of people going back to BB

[ornate hamlet]

Smite is like "what if we had a krak grenade vet, except he used it on everything and didn't know how to press 1 or 2 on the keyboard"

[half iron]

vets don’t know the 1 key

[limber silo]

They seem to have noticed that ogryns are really annoying without BB or some other stagger tool

[limber silo]

Yeah, but krak is useful

[ornate hamlet]

tru

Well, I mean

Smite is useful too, just most players find it too useful all the time

[wraith talon]

counterpoint:

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

[limber silo]

Counter counterpoint: I have yet to see force lightning actually kill anyone

Just like smite

[wraith talon]

in sw or dt

[wraith talon]

o

if you get EP or wap charges it’ll kill eventually

main benefit’s CC tho

with proper management you can effectively hold off a horde all on your own

[limber silo]

Well who cares about eventually? I want NOW

[ornate hamlet]

Thing is

[wraith talon]

but like at the same time with assail and a maccabian you can kill the entire horde on your own

sooooo

[ornate hamlet]

You don't need smite to hold a horde on your own

[wraith talon]

agreed

[half iron]

smite users on their way to use it on a poxwalker horde to make the soldier say their government-mandated “fragging hel, witch! you’re scaring me!”

[ornate hamlet]

Smite just ends up teaching the poor psykers to not push and block

[limber silo]

Shriek + Smite is good I will say. Otherwise it's a boring cc tool that somehow convinces everyone in the world to ignore all the enemies you are holding in place

[urban sandal]

you shouldn't be smiting poxwalker/groaner hordes

[ornate hamlet]

Smite and shriek is like

[wraith talon]

ngl stun wall and smite is peak

[ornate hamlet]

Coating a pile of shit in gold

[half iron]

nuh uh. must farm the lots of kills voice line

trust.

[wraith talon]

use stun wall to force shooters into close ranger

[limber silo]

Just say you can't dodge special bro

[wraith talon]

then smite them all

[ornate hamlet]

The shriek kills stuff and the psyker's eyes glow in amusement

[wraith talon]

I like it because it gives a barrier during dog and mutie hordes

[ornate hamlet]

So they keep using smite because they think the crowd of enemies they just killed needs smite to die

[wraith talon]

and also forces gunners and riflemen to get close

[limber silo]

Bubble shield is good, but can be a crutch if you don't know how to properly use cover

The stun shield just doesn't have enough hp imo

[wraith talon]

ngl I feel like 90% of the time stun shield’s better

[wraith talon]

true tho

like 3 muties’ll drop it

[limber silo]

I think bubble is better because it makes a great place to melee as well

[wraith talon]

In my damnation runs it’ll usually hold enough for us to clear them out though

and if it doesn’t I have the second one

[limber silo]

Everyone fighting in the shield will be tankier and appreciate the toughness

[wraith talon]

🍊

[limber silo]

Lol

[wraith talon]

i think both are good in different scenarios

like defending last point in carnival? stun shield

holding ambush in warrens? bubble

[wraith talon]

enclavum baross last point too

[limber silo]

I prefer bubble shield with purge staff because the soulblaze let's me get warp charges quickly and almost always have a bubble for use

[wraith talon]

I’ve been meaning to make a purge staff build

[half iron]

i like me some purg

[wraith talon]

I usually just don’t pop shields unless someone gets down or we need quick cover(whether it be from shooters or specs) and it’s dire

[limber silo]

Wildfire is a trap perk btw of you're gonna make a fire build

[wraith talon]

is that the one that makes it spread

[limber silo]

Ye

[half iron]

perilous combustion goes hard

[limber silo]

It's not consistent enough

[wraith talon]

bruh now i wanna do a purge build

but it’s 1:30 am

[limber silo]

Perilous Combustion goes hard tho

[wraith talon]

is that the 10% per soulblaze kill

[limber silo]

No, 3 or 4 stacks of soulblaze on enemies around elite/special deaths

[wraith talon]

ohh

[half iron]

it makes me feel things

[wraith talon]

yea I feel like usually my brute or vet will steal the spec/elite kill first

generally

[limber silo]

It's super great with Uncanny Strike weapons and gunker

[wraith talon]

even if I’m using assail

[half iron]

i feel like i steal the kills
because i do

[lone cosmos]

What sort of melee should I run if I'm going purgatus + brain burst?

I've been loving the Mk IV dueling sword

[wraith talon]

cant really steal kills unless it’s from a sibling or vet iirc

[lone cosmos]

But some variety would be nice

[limber silo]

Melee is pretty flexible on purge builds, but I like mk4 duelling or the new chainsword

[half iron]

you see it? i did this. i’m really him.

[urban sandal]

could try a deimos force sword or mk4 devil's claw

[wraith talon]

p sure the mk 4’s our best melee

[wraith talon]

despicable

i do it too 😭

[lone cosmos]

Thank you guys

I'll try some of these out and keep old reliable on for every other run

[half iron]

my magic turns a sector of tertium into pompeii

[lone cosmos]

I just want to change things up a little

[half iron]

with the right spells or speed you can steal any kill, even being unaware of where you got the kill

perilous combustion is cute

[limber silo]

I love killing snipers without ever seeing them because of perilous combustion or shriek

Just getting the little pop up of "btw the you killed this" without expecting it is great

[obsidian nimbus]

So outa the options for force swords

which ones the better option?

[urban sandal]

illisi for horde clear, deimos for single target

[obsidian nimbus]

single targets what i need so

thank you

[urban sandal]

the heavy 2 on deimos can knock a crusher on their ass

[obsidian nimbus]

yeah i used the heavy on a boss in a assassination

takes chunks away from the shield and HP

[kindred ivy]

i hear that quite a bit

but hey, i can kil unfinished elites from the evolver without even needing thes hriek

[obsidian nimbus]

last thing Laspistol wise MG or MK X

[ornate hamlet]

either

[sour bison]

finally

[obsidian nimbus]

that works

[wraith talon]

holy

[sour bison]

yes

[ornate hamlet]

crit damage

sell it

[half iron]

i feel the same way whenever i get terrifying barrage

[wraith talon]

when i get warp flurry for my vs

got warp flurry 5 times in a row

2 mark 4’s

[half iron]

i got surge 4-5 times in a row when i was praying for i mean, grinding trauma blessings

[wraith talon]

i love getting blessings i already have

fat shark save me from this torment

ples

[pale forum]

omg pox hound with BB is pain in the ass 😄

[half iron]

no it’s not. it’s pox hound with bb.

[sour bison]

still cant get burn 4 for trauma

[plucky flax]

What burn 4?

[quasi grotto]

Blazing spirit 4 doesn't exist for trauma right

[sour bison]

what?

[plucky flax]

No

[kindred ivy]

trauma is shit

all stafe useage is cope

revolver

all the wya

i played with a blaze trauma a auric maestrom from ppl in here, the crackhead gunker amongus pscyher dealt the most dmg, followed by me (i htink a 50K difference) and the trauma was like 200k lower

[plucky flax]

Who was the trauma player?

[left dagger]

not even i can carry this level 10 from 10 crusher 10 ragers

bit of a meme weapon

[wraith talon]

the knife mains are coming for you

[ornate hamlet]

😉

[wraith talon]

ppl unironically swear by it

[ornate hamlet]

They can swear by my meme bleed

Lacerate fans when you tell them uncanny strike increases bleed damage too

I honestly wish it had higher damage

[left dagger]

ggs rizzy easier when ppl know what to do

[obsidian nimbus]

all i did was spam smite on everything

[left dagger]

lol i saw that, still works well on Heresy since we all stick together

that 1 joininer died immediatly then quit

[obsidian nimbus]

yeahhh

[untold niche]

if you going for very good roll,
BR not imortant, charge rate way more important

If you use warp charges/warp siphon (bottom left purple tree)
For damage, mine is at 78, i haven't test the other damage ratings, but what you want to test for is on warp siphon 6 charges, 80% peril start charging to full. Surge proc should kill a crusher.
At 78, the crusher left with like 13-17 hp
I think 80 should kill him.

[left dagger]

so will need full 80 dmg, and since charge is so slow you want 80 charge too

[delicate stratus]

I feel like I've done the impossible and made scriers useful

I feel accomplished

[plucky flax]

It's good with uncanny + 1 bleed blessing.

[untold niche]

what you mean, scrier is needed on gunker

[wraith talon]

counterpoint: maccabian

[delicate stratus]

Yes and I did it without gunker

[untold niche]

what build? o.o

[plucky flax]

True but more monster damage due to bleed.

[untold niche]

i mean technically you can do it with staffs but im too lazy to manage the peril

boss hits should refresh my DD stacks

does the lightning staff headshot?

ok thanks love u

[zinc tartan]

Thats just candy if you are running Trauma.

[untold niche]

thats why you get vent

[plucky flax]

@olive ember @bleak tulip bro wrote an essay and did 2 edits to say I'm a cheater
I gave that comment a heart of course. ❤️

[untold niche]

vent into PC

[left dagger]

either Vent for CC or Shield so my lv10 teammates who can't snipe gunners die

[zinc tartan]

Or fully charge a trauma and blast everything to the ground 😉

[untold niche]

U doing really well with the psyker, but when i look at ur video i see that having 1-mob hp bar(wich is limit okay i think) 2-real time dash count 3- psyker % colors(u don't even need to take a look at the number now u just look at the color) sorry bro at this point i feel it's cheating.
Edit: WTF as well u got the mod that allowed u to see all the right enter in the data interrogator yeah bro ur cheating and not hiding it x) Edit2: at this point I suspect u use those kind of mouse shortcuts that allowed u to click and shoot fast.

[plucky flax]

Thank you.

That's a really nice copypasta tbh.

[left dagger]

need to wait for Brunt to give me a good roll trauma first 🤏

https://tenor.com/view/brunt-ds9-jeffrey-combs-gif-22108743

[untold niche]

ok genuine reply:
i feel it IS cheating, but i cheat as well

[plucky flax]

Idc it's legal according to fartshart.

So haters can suck it.

[left dagger]

now i kinda want macro mouse click for autocomboing L1 H2 like for zealot crusher. the less carpal tunnel the better

or dueling sword mkV H1 > special over and over

[urban sandal]

could be wrong but I feel like at some point during vermintide they said hp bar mod is technically cheating

[untold niche]

i regret typing that. Because now its going to get pinned and someone will think I wrote that

[plucky flax]

They didn't take down darktide hp mod.

So it's legal.

[urban sandal]

that's one way to look at it

[untold niche]

i feel even the dodge count is cheating.
3p is cheating, hp bar is cheatig.

But personally i use dodge count.
Don't use the others because its too much for me

[zinc tartan]

But then how would I get my dopamine fix by watching health bars get demolished?

[untold niche]

cheating =/= bad
just to clarify
Some peeps might get offended when i say that

[urban sandal]

I only use scoreboard, solo play and creature spawner

[zinc tartan]

I have a mod that LITERALLY does my dishes.

[urban sandal]

that's called a wife

[untold niche]

[urban sandal]

I rarely do it so not really

[untold niche]

oh no wonder

[urban sandal]

it's just a fuck it why not thing

[untold niche]

if you spam solo play i rather you play KF2
personally i think it has a higher skill ceiling

[left dagger]

dodge count and hp arent going to help me clear 10 crusher 10 rager hordes

[untold niche]

hp does help tremendously with target priority.

thats why i felt it was cheating

[left dagger]

i guess yeah

[urban sandal]

no but hp can let you know which one of those has 1 hp left when you otherwise would have hit another one not knowing

[untold niche]

correct

[delicate stratus]

I am mildly dumb and forgot to post build

But it do require juggling of skills to make use

[cobalt atlas]

It's a PVE game, You draw the line imo

[delicate stratus]

but it is funny to become a death machine for a bit

[untold niche]

yep, thats why i said, when i said its cheating doesn't mean i condone it, i jsut don't use it myself

im not that much of an elite gamer to not want my teammates to have a slight advantage
as long as im the top in the scoreboard at the end ofc

[cobalt atlas]

Yep, as long as it's not changing game config or stuff that would directly impact the game performance

such as speed hack or aim hack or something that just take the fun out of the game for your friend/teammate

[quartz barn]

Everything i have is cosmetic

[zinc tartan]

HP bars does make it easier to target elites, but my GOD does it feel good to watch a horde of healthbars drop.

[quartz barn]

For the emperor, scoreboard, better melk

[zinc tartan]

I can't get over the dopamine rush.

[delicate stratus]

Honestly I feel like floating damage numbers should be an option in game

cause it do feel nice

[untold niche]

is the game too dark for anyone else as well

sometime i shoot at muzzle flash only to hit the wall

[delicate stratus]

flashlight

[cobalt atlas]

It does, especially lights out

[delicate stratus]

ek

[cobalt atlas]

but that's the point kekW

[untold niche]

i don't think my staff has a flash light

[quartz barn]

Not for me, but apparently my game is way darker than that of a friend of mine

[delicate stratus]

The staff IS the flashlight

[urban sandal]

is there not a brightness setting

[cobalt atlas]

Also, your monitor have bigger contribution to why it look terribly dark

[urban sandal]

also hdr can have an effect on brightness

[untold niche]

i put it to max already :v

i don't have hdr

plebian

[quartz barn]

But if it isnt dark enough i wont appreciate the soulflame as much

[cobalt atlas]

Yea, you probably got a shit monitor with bad color

I know friends with 4080ti with a 100$ monitor

[quartz barn]

Also theres a difference between dark and colors being dim overall

[untold niche]

i got a old predator TN monitor

https://store.acer.com/en-us/24-predator-gaming-monitor-xb241h

[cobalt atlas]

Eh, that have a very good backpanel since it's a TN

[pale forum]

stupid question but will ask anyway if i get darktide on steam is there chance that i get my char and all i did on game pass to steam

or i need to start all over again

[cobalt atlas]

What about your monitor settings

[urban sandal]

if you submit a support ticket or whatever they do then you can ask fatshark, I remember hearing someone got offered to have characters boosted on a different platform but I don't remember if they got all their items

[cobalt atlas]

In-Game Settings might be max, but Monitor can go extra bright

[untold niche]

hmmm

[cobalt atlas]

and it's a TN-monitor, are you close to a window with sunlight?

[untold niche]

yeah, im facing window

but i playat night as well

[cobalt atlas]

Hm, Might want to check on Monitor Setting

[quartz barn]

No clue, try pinging a CM?

[cobalt atlas]

Usually they have a lot of weird settings that you can fuck around

[pale forum]

i mean i know what to do know so it would be faster but still 😄

just idea that i need to use BB all over again i painfull

[cobalt atlas]

Also update your driver, I have 2 account on the same computer, with different Nvidia Driver

The old driver make my darktide look like shit

[untold niche]

i updated i few months ago

might try'

[robust relic]

What is the diff between "damage (specials)" and "damage (elites)"? What things are in each category?

[cobalt atlas]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies

Here you go

[urban sandal]

specialists know where you are at all times and have a spawn audio cue, for example hounds, trappers, mutants etc. elites are tough enemies that are already spawned in or come with hordes

[cobalt atlas]

Specialist usually Disabler (Scrab Trapper, Dogs, Mutants)
Elites are just tougher enemies like what Sanguinius said

[cobalt atlas]

Yep, Darktide are still getting constant Nvidia support it seem

for AMD, I can't talk on behalf of that since I dont have RX card

[pale forum]

aha so they can't transfer character and stuff they can mirror your progression and curency you have

[urban sandal]

my amd homies

[cobalt atlas]

AMD isn't popular in third world country

https://tenor.com/view/steamhappy-vs-steamsad-gif-11516540021906382269

[urban sandal]

I use an AMD graphics card but I've never seen anything to do with darktide related to AMD

[cobalt atlas]

The Graphic Option in game have like extensive support for AMD if Im not wrong

[robust relic]

Thanks all for your notes on elite/special. Seems like +elite is overall better. Other than muty all the specials are easy kills it seems like

[ornate hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/incomprehensible-rage-rage-cat-angry-red-filter-gif-26249186

[cobalt atlas]

I can't speak on behalf of the min-max people here, but usually yea +Elite is pretty good

Specials are specific if you want to get certain breakpoint (one shot kill)

[urban sandal]

even then, most specialists are maniac armoured so you'd ideally choose +maniac % damage

also happens to include dreg ragers

[untold niche]

wait +elite hits thresholds?

[urban sandal]

depends on the weapon and modifier rolls but it can yeah

[untold niche]

its onl like 8% right

[urban sandal]

10%

[cobalt atlas]

10%

[untold niche]

8% is for specials?

[cobalt atlas]

10% if you want generic Special/Elites perks
But you get to get 25% if you want to go for specific enemies if im not wrong

[urban sandal]

pretty sure both are 10%

[untold niche]

maybe mine was t3, thats why it was 8%

[urban sandal]

yeah

[cobalt atlas]

Yep, T3 is 8% for that specific perks

Here's the breakdown from Gameslantern

[untold niche]

i never take elite/specials willingly

flak + maniac like true meta slave

[cobalt atlas]

I usually just take Cara or Flak

[urban sandal]

feel like they should nerf flak and maniac down to 10-15 or something

every man and his dog runs it

[untold niche]

Ah, and cara

[untold niche]

i think people would still run it

[urban sandal]

most likely

[untold niche]

the only way would be to make normal and + zombies on higher difficulties not be 1 and 2 hit respectively

then people would actually consider having dedicating someone to horde clear

[cobalt atlas]

Horde clear

I think it's more of a pros-cons thingy

Some weapon just do average against hordes, average against something

[untold niche]

otherwise actually no reason to not run cara/flak/maniac
when those are the only threats

[cobalt atlas]

then there's thunderhammer

[urban sandal]

probably more an issue with the fact 80% of the enemies fall under flak, maniac or cara rather than the perks being too good

[untold niche]

like why would i pick + weak spot damage

1. less %
2. it scales terribly as we all know.

[cobalt atlas]

Filter Perks to make our grinding life harder

Because Hadron are so bad with STC that she can only do 2 changes at a time

[untold niche]

imagine if you buff weak spot damage, then now voidstrike you can either pick good weakspot damage (meaning you msut headshot) or a more general + flak damage

i don't think its about nerfing cara/flak/maniac
I think its more about buffing hte others
Because if you nerf cara/flak/maniac to the same level as others, no reason to not pick those still

[untold niche]

i think fatshark has to decide if they want fake hours or better gameplay health

was this a thing in VT2?

like filler perks/stuff

[cobalt atlas]

Fuck no

You play 300 hours, you get all the stuff you would ever want in general

You would have perks that is filler but you can keep rerolling to what you want (The cost is very low)

just slap a mod and let it run

[untold niche]

it could be on purpose esp since hadron onl lets you change 2/4

and weapon stats being random

how come no one called them out on it though

:v
