psyker-class

[mint pivot]

We need to be better than that. Lets bring out the eating crayons again!

[idle bay]

It suppose to happen in vet chat. Zealot chat should be talking about cooking meth

[kindred ivy]

sorry eating crayons is cheating

[sly dawn]

but i like the trama staff cuz of the animation, plus its the first one i got

[kindred ivy]

you are cheating

[shy prairie]

you are coping

you are sneething

[kindred ivy]

yeah

lmao

Smite is better anyway

[primal tusk]

my staff is a bit small, but it causes burning, and it casts lasers

[shy prairie]

curious

[sly dawn]

omg is this your staff?
its so cool

[primal tusk]

is good staff

also i tried a poxburster build

does lots of damage, sadly i died at enemy nr 5

[mint pivot]

the fuck are these "mods"

wtf is npcs radar? 😮

[kindred ivy]

my man

no need to make fake mods

post the link

or GTFO

[steep fractal]

The guardsmen chilling at the start if levels

[mint pivot]

would rather not link that site 😄

but wtf is npc radar? Does it show the vendors at the hub?

[kindred ivy]

now straight up lying

lmao

[primal tusk]

based on this, i'd say it adds a minimap ingame?

[kindred ivy]

come and mald

and cope

[mint pivot]

its pure cheat mod site

just started wondering wtf is actually available

[kindred ivy]

nah

u showing a random image

and saying its a mod

no proof

only malding

[mint pivot]

https://elitehacks.ru/en/cheat/warhammer_40000_darktide/aj

there you go

now fucking answer me 😄

wtf is npcs?

[primal tusk]

just remember that california girls are unforgettable

cause these days they're all in the sororitas and burning down worlds left and right

[kindred ivy]

me when u are on a activelly hacking website

[plucky flax]

That's not a mod though is it.

That's a cheat program.

[kindred ivy]

whereas mods on nexus mantain fatsharks code of conducts

[primal tusk]

s'not a mod when its a cheat trainer methinks

[mint pivot]

It came up when googling darktide mods, sure its not the nexus mod site

but interested in what is available

[plucky flax]

So it's probably something like those boxes for aimbot hack.

I forgot the name for it..

[mint pivot]

how do collectibles, materials and pocketables differ from each other?

ammo, plasteel and?

[primal tusk]

when site's named this, i dont think its "mods"

[plucky flax]

From that image you sent look like a fake hack thingy designed to scam.

[kindred ivy]

laugh at him

[plucky flax]

Probably malware more likely.

[mint pivot]

welll it has price tag in it so it most deffo is a scam

[kindred ivy]

he didnt even download, test, got a random russian website and tried to act like all mods are cheating

are you mentally ill?

[mint pivot]

the fuck is your problem with me?

Me not agreeing with your used mods makes me an lifelong enemy to you?

Leave me be bitch

[plucky flax]

[kindred ivy]

i am asking if u mentally ill das all. yes or no question

i cannot tell

[idle bay]

Well there are reports on reddit about aimbotting and spinning on reddit. So there are some truth to exisiting of cheats

[mint pivot]

Aimbots and wallhacks are granted, but what else can the "modders" do in terms of cheating

[primal tusk]

havent seen any spinbots ingame, but then again probs hiding it

[mint pivot]

IMO aimbot is only visible when used stupidly by braindead people

[primal tusk]

i play TF2 nobody hides it there and public servers are infested by obvious spinbots

[plucky flax]

What's a 'spin' in term of cheating?

[idle bay]

When player model auto-turn to nearest target

[plucky flax]

Aaah so you still need to aim.

[idle bay]

And auto-aims)

[plucky flax]

Oh.

Then that's just aimbot no?

[cobalt bone]

is this a keeper?

[idle bay]

Yes. But they called spinners beacuse other players can see cheater spining like crazy

[plucky flax]

Haha lol

Interesting I don't play pvp games so I have not seen.

[mint pivot]

I remember the good old days of russian spinbots bringing havoc in public matches

think CS1.6 or so was full of em at some point

[idle bay]

Destiny 2 was and is flooded with cheaters in PVP

[sly dawn]

Good.

[primal tusk]

yeah destiny 2 pvp is sus

its always a crapshoot whether you're playing with actual players who are godtier or just aimbots

[idle bay]

Any remember for how long Fatshark goes on rest on winter holydays? Month ?

[bold flint]

im singlehandedly draining rinda's shields and health while the other three try to kill rodin

and this guy as the fucking gall to say i need to focus rodin

[true vault]

If 4 stealth zealots with Thunder Hammers hit the twins at the same time could they one shot it ?

[idle bay]

How wonky hitreg works in this game - game might just register one of the hits and then makes a twins port away

[idle bay]

But what hold you for making a premade team and go EXPERIMENTING! 🙂

[mint pivot]

its not about just making a premade team

you need to make premade team with better players than the random PUGs

which is a total crapshoot

[stone canyon]

Any good guide for someone about to start first Psyker?

Also tall or short?

[true vault]

Me shy.

[spice veldt]

i always like tall to peek over hordes

if you're on PC, there's a mod to change your height server-side if you decide to change your mind down the road

[silk hawk]

U just described 99.9% of all online shooters...

[plucky flax]

Hmm I can't believe we failed a regular map.

3 names to add to block list.

[zealous pewter]

regular map?

[lunar hollow]

block everyone u play with so u always get new teammates

[stone canyon]

being selfish quite fitting name if thats enough to block people, could be new to the game

[plucky flax]

No modifier.

[zealous pewter]

ah gotcha

[plucky flax]

Bruh moment.

[zealous pewter]

it's funny how it does always seem to me that you either get an entire team of pipe hitting killers or people who have no clue

it's never a mix

[plucky flax]

I got trapped and then we wiped instantly. Prior to that they had 9 deaths between the 3.

It's one of those.

I played bad and got trapped so it's my fault anyway.

[gloomy magnet]

.ru

[kindred ivy]

are u sure ur not the problem?

u didnt smiet fast enough i see

Also , Shriek + CDR aura , or Shield + Crit aura

for a surge voidstrike?

[idle bay]

Clean the start of the list 🙂

My block list is a barren waste... like 2-3 players there.

And i have been playing since early early access. So one have to be very naughty to get on that list.

[plucky flax]

You're too nice.

If they sus I block.

[kindred ivy]

crit aura shield or shirek + cdr aura?

[plucky flax]

4 zealots 4 knives this is bruh moment.

[kindred ivy]

i dont even have enough points to fucking get any of the augments

[idle bay]

Depends of what you want to do.

[kindred ivy]

block the loner

[kindred ivy]

surge voidstrike

[spice veldt]

terrifying

where are my stealth zealots >:(

[kindred ivy]

i rolled this yesterday

[bright mica]

ngl i havent ran shroudfield for weeks its just kinda boring

[kindred ivy]

just a random weapon, but like,

kinda pog tho

[idle bay]

Imagine thier frustration when they are 5 section ahead and you are following your habit looting every peice of material 🙂

[kindred ivy]

good deimos?

[idle bay]

If you sure you dont blow yourself up and you are fine NOT using Perlious Combustion- go with crit and Shield

[kindred ivy]

i nede that one mod

rn i am cooking this shit

ignore the 3 images to show a build

[idle bay]

You don't really need True Aim

Use those 2 points for shield auguments

[kindred ivy]

perious is good no?

[idle bay]

It's Great

[kindred ivy]

🤔 ergh, i am barelly geting flames tho.

[mint pivot]

not as good as basically permanent shield

[idle bay]

Only use Shierk with perlios on above 84% Peril

[mint pivot]

2 stacks + the bottom left cluster = almost full uptime on shield

[kindred ivy]

why not true aim.

i wanna spam M1

i do need perious for BB

[primal tusk]

i got into disrupt destiny quite fun

[plucky flax]

I am top plasteels so far.

[kindred ivy]

also DD vs Voidcharges

i feel like DD is better on gunkerino

[primal tusk]

yet to try warp siphon

[kindred ivy]

unless i play like a god using M'

M1

[primal tusk]

and i dont like staves

[kindred ivy]

same

:XD;

Disrupt destiny M1 spamming VoidStrike

is that something u cook?

[primal tusk]

currently just use heavy laspistol for them juicy headshots

[kindred ivy]

but VS

sounds hilarious

with DD

[primal tusk]

probs

i use with scriers gaze atm, full zealot style

as a matter of fact

changed to my exact zealot loadout

[kindred ivy]

M1 spam, Scrier + DD voidstirke

sounds absolutelly SHIT

i'll test it

DD in general sounds ergh, sadly.

cause the stacks fucking dissapear too fazz

[primal tusk]

the movement bonus yes

[rich jolt]

I never could get behind dd i always worry about my stacks too much

[primal tusk]

the precision bonus doesnt though, lasts 15s, or 30s with the keystone modifier

[kindred ivy]

peril edging on scrier

is kinda fucked

[rich jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cats-cat-eating-eating-eating-cat-gif-8459125914348971806

Peril what now

[primal tusk]

i got nothing that generates peril

given i still use kinetic flayer

[kindred ivy]

peril edging, mantaining at high peril

but never exploding

[rich jolt]

Ok i didnt know. Could definitely be a better name for it

[kindred ivy]

yeah lmao

it doesnt sound THAT bad with scriers

just mantaining that shit

[primal tusk]

modifier turns the 15s to 30

[kindred ivy]

OR i can reach 30 !!!!

yeah no thats never happening lmao

[rich jolt]

I used it its actually not that hard

[primal tusk]

i dont really care about the uptime, its just a fun minigame i mostly focus on brawling and occasionally get lucky with "ooh, shiny enemy "

[rich jolt]

Ive gotten to thirty multiple times

OH wait time not stacks

Nvm im confused

[primal tusk]

also helps quite a lot in fog,

[kindred ivy]

i feel like, to use scrier

i HAVE

[primal tusk]

since auto marks the strongest nearby enemy for you, whether its an armored mook, or an elite

[kindred ivy]

to focus on M1 spam

[primal tusk]

yeah this feels like THE ideal build for speedrunning

[kindred ivy]

time to test

scrier, DD, M1 spam VS

[plucky flax]

Lacerate is prefered over flesh tearer.

[primal tusk]

yup, i think i found my psyker build

literally yeet into enemy horde

aint no backline psyker here

[stone canyon]

is this legit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPF45FbZvpo

[bold flint]

i mean, i guess?

leveling isnt exactly difficult

[primal tusk]

just play what you want

lol

[shell maple]

Run Damnation as soon as u can

And just get carried

[bold flint]

there are so many utter disappointments in damnation its crazy

[stone canyon]

Played my first damnation today with Zealot, went fine i suppose, played super careful so last in damage, but i also took like 100ish dmg only myself

[sinful olive]

The most useful piece of knowledge in that video is literally just "use assail" which is correct since the damage it deals doesn't scale off anything and therefore is juiced in lower level content.

[stone canyon]

Ok fair enough, guess ill hit atleast minimun lvl 11 to open up Melk's with that, then see if i like the playstyle to go on further

[shell maple]

Going for a pacifist run in Damnation, i wanna do 0 dmg

[spice veldt]

good luck

the one person i know of who did it used vet/zealot

[stone canyon]

is there penance for that?

[spice veldt]

nah

they're just a deranged person

very bad individual

killed 10 men

[shell maple]

Yes

Redacted

[stone canyon]

At this point im thinking that if there was friendly fire enabled in this game, devs would have added penance for teamkilling all 3 and winning still mission there too as those quests are so against healthy teamplay

[shell maple]

On Heresy difficulty, get all three teammates down with either Ranged or Melee damage and then proceed to complete the mission in under 20 minutes.

Reward :

[silk hawk]

Oh shi! Thats a uniq one!

[lost junco]

nah that would actually require effort. It will just be a skin that already exists with a new color

[shell maple]

Hey its in PURPLE

[mint pivot]

jesus christ is it reverse day or something?

Just had a knife zealot in group

[shell maple]

They are evolving

[mint pivot]

EVERY SINGLE CHECKPOINT we had to wait for his worthless ass to go thru every single fucking box in the map

[plucky flax]

Man just want to loot what's wrong with that?

[outer ocean]

Having a teammate get all the plasteel sounds pretty nice

[shell maple]

Shut up and sit in the elevator and get ur 800 plasteel

[mint pivot]

Yeah, was really enjoyable for the rest of the team to go afk for 5mins anytime we reached a checkpoint

because that madman was still running around close by to the last checkpoint we went thru

[shell maple]

Bro thought he was doin something

[mint pivot]

He was

[shell maple]

I meant you

[mint pivot]

the extra 200 plasteel was really worth the 55min match

[shell maple]

I mean duh

In this plasteel economy

[mint pivot]

We were not even moving fast due to being 2 psykers + shield ogryn...

can surge staff even hit weakspots? 😄

[left basin]

m1 can

[mint pivot]

oh right

m1 exists 😄

[kindred ivy]

to level psykers just revovler assail

done

u can level up pretyt fast

[distant roost]

Eh that’s just not knowing the proper routes atp

[stone canyon]

Are these easy to do?

[distant roost]

Yea

[winter otter]

First one is easy and self-explanatory, second one can require some specific enemy positioning and the right weapon but is also pretty simple.

[grizzled iris]

Was funnier when you had to knock 20 enemies off ledge

[shell maple]

Nigh impossible w the new Vent

[mint pivot]

when asked if he was planning to join rest of the team so we can proceed further he answered "ye, 1 sec just finding a health station and restocking grenades somewhere"...

[distant roost]

I mean if yall disliked them so much

Just vote kick

[summer prairie]

why would it be any different with the "new" vent

[mint pivot]

I tried :S

[shell maple]

[mint pivot]

Is the cliffhanger easier to do with vent/shriek or trauma staff?

[shell maple]

Are you new?

[summer prairie]

Yes, explain

[shell maple]

@summer prairie

Old vent is like current Vet’s shout

[summer prairie]

Excuse me

[spice veldt]

i doubt that

for one, vent is directional

[summer prairie]

It has the same stagger force as before, you go to high peril and hit f and get the penance https://streamable.com/0abwuq

[shell maple]

Fake

[stone canyon]

Which staff is that, gonna make one for the penance right away

[shell maple]

Nice try tho

[shell maple]

Best just to find a good ledge to shove the poxwalkers off

[stone canyon]

And using what to do that?

[summer prairie]

venting shriek at high peril

[stone canyon]

Ok thanks, ill aim for that then

[devout robin]

that's venting shriek

[spice veldt]

the stagger strength scales off of your peril

[shell maple]

Not true

Its only slightly pushes them off balance now

Nerfed to bits

[spice veldt]

ok clara

[shell maple]

Regardless of peril levels

[dark spoke]

Trauma staff on the 2nd carnival map

[mint pivot]

ye figured it was gonna be that map

[kindred ivy]

yeah i dont think i need scrier

with VS

lmao

but DD is hilarious

[devout robin]

yeah i run assail bubble dd

feels good on voidstrike

[dark spoke]

There's this fence next to an elevator the horde has to jump over, hit them with the staff there

[stuck sinew]

The final section to the dropship on hab dreyko also has that pipe that the horde drops onto

[kindred ivy]

bvm its super pfun

but as a burst for 1/2 shots

with VS

[summer prairie]

the stagger does feel quite inconsistent

maybe that was just stagger immunity actually

[obtuse moth]

for the chievo theres no reason to go one or the other, old trick was to shout and also finish off extras with force sword push

theres zero reason not to combine shout with other push mechanics like trauma or force push to bump your numbers/chances

[inland crescent]

i just saw a pysker that had no clothes on except the traders hat, how is that possible?

[ornate hamlet]

might be a mod

[obtuse moth]

mods are client side

[inland crescent]

weird, i thought a mod is only visible to the person using the mod

[ornate hamlet]

normally it is

[inland crescent]

whilst on the topic, you guys using any mods? that like change the hud or something?

[obtuse moth]

too many to list

[vale violet]

Numeric ui is super nice, gives you way more info than base game

Also makes it so you can clearly see the healing zones of health packs instead of the green smoke

Like exact health, ammo count of your teammates.

How much ammo you would get from picking up an ammo tin or how much ammo would be wasted by going over 100%

[half iron]

darktide mod loader is the biggest cheat of all

[strong gulch]

There's a lot of QOL mods that I use. The first one I used is the crosshair remap one. the triangle crosshair on non-purg staves with the three larger dots on the outside made LMB unplayable. I couldn't quickly differentiate between the dots lol.

[shell maple]

Reply: And?

[plucky flax]

[glossy ember]

hackerman

[strong gulch]

Look at this little guy. Adorable. I want to eat it.

[ornate hamlet]

DID IT!

[strong gulch]

Woooo congrats

[half iron]

nice

[devout robin]

brain blast

[ornate hamlet]

Yep

[cosmic geyser]

is surge not working on trauma force staff intentional?

[plucky flax]

Dat cheeky bite.

Cheeky dm

[primal tusk]

what does hardmode even give

i completed it, but forgot

[late night]

gold trimmed insignia

[queen fog]

Ya dope lookin insignia

More hangy bits than the others

[late night]

looks nearly identical to normal mode one

just has some gold yea

[primal tusk]

ah

[strong gulch]

The burden of top 1% psyker.

If a body is needed, I am available.

[primal tusk]

Yeah let's go.

They are 2.

[strong gulch]

Loading now.

[primal tusk]

funnily, i completed it randomly didnt even know team was doing the bells

was just vibing on zealot

[plucky flax]

I joined and the party was full. Then 1 guy left.

[strong gulch]

uh oh

[candid terrace]

Please how do I make blessed by fate penance? Do I just hit psyker's wrath at 100%?

[strong gulch]

Go to 100% peril and them use shreik to save yourself.

[summer prairie]

wrath should work too

[candid terrace]

i did that and did not work to the penance

[summer prairie]

you have to actually start exploding, just hitting 100 isn't enough

[devout robin]

^

gotta go into the animation for imminent death and then vent to cancel it

[glossy ember]

can you get downed before exploding?

like, by getting hit

[spice veldt]

ye

if you die prematurely or get grabbed

you go boom early

[devout robin]

that's what i've noticed

regardless you just still boom

took down 9 ragers one time in an auric

[glossy ember]

oic thats cool

[plucky flax]

Wanna come help hm?

I need some big guns.

[summer prairie]

ok

[nova quiver]

'allo! I have come to the Psyker channel to learn of your ways, specifically as pertains to Staves and Force Swords.

[nova quiver]

I have a big gun and like to play video games so if there's a slot I'll join.

Well depends on difficulty.

[azure bridge]

Rule Number 1: Do not eat the staff.

[cosmic geyser]

lightning, trauma, rapier with the stab heavy

[summer prairie]

9207756629

[nova quiver]

Err... Okay so, uh, totally unrelated, how important is the shiny gold bit atop the staff that could easily be mistaken for being made out of foil-wrapped chocolate?

[plucky flax]

This guy is running blue evis and blue shotgun.

[nova quiver]

Asking for a... Friend.

[plucky flax]

He's got a grey autopistol now though so we good.

[nova quiver]

Pain.

In all seriousness, trying to figure out which of the three force swords to settle for; Obscurus, Illisi or Deimos.

[primal tusk]

i like illisi the most

[cosmic geyser]

I dont like the force swords, theyre like if you took a power sword and made it bad. stabby rapier takes the cake for me.

[candid terrace]

k

[kindred ivy]

scried DD voidstrike

is hilarious

but so easy to get yourself blown

[nova quiver]

I do like the Voidstrike staff the most out of the ones I've tried.

[kindred ivy]

has anyone tested DD vs Void Charges?

[shadow wigeon]

Nexus/x - I would use DD, Transfer/Flurry WarpSiphon (if that's what you mean by void charges)

[plucky flax]

@summer prairie @strong gulch I wouldn't bother too much with this guy when he's making no attempt and looking to expect a free ride.

[shadow wigeon]

I feel like Void Scrier/DD was an intended setup

[kindred ivy]

surge nexus

DD and scrier

less goo

[strong gulch]

Yeah good call. I left. Good timing anyways. I have to do some adulting. 🥲

[plucky flax]

I'll dm him and tell it to him straight

[golden sparrow]

idk why i just feel like i cant carry a game alone as a psyker

as in clutching games

[shadow wigeon]

It depends on the build - what are you running? some are harder to clutch than others.

[kindred ivy]

he runnin tgwins hardmode with some random blue stuff

[golden sparrow]

purgatus is my favorite to run but when i see multiple ragers gg...

[shadow wigeon]

+Stam and block w/ deflector is a bit much, unless you just want t walk to the end of the level on your own.

[shadow wigeon]

Purg is definitely the least clutchable staff right now

[kindred ivy]

i fucking LOVE block efficiency

its hilarious

[golden sparrow]

i just got the voidstrike staff with the crit double shot and that just feels sooo slow

[kindred ivy]

so, any opnions? should i keep rolling?

[golden sparrow]

then why run it?

[long wharf]

I would, just because your odds for a t4 blessing are very high

[golden sparrow]

oh lol

[shadow wigeon]

+3 stam and Deflector is already doing so much work. You don't need to add the block eff I mean.

[kindred ivy]

spam M1

[long wharf]

unless you already have all force sword t4 blessings, then don't bother

[kindred ivy]

and have nexus

[golden sparrow]

@kindred ivy OH???

dont bother using m2?

[kindred ivy]

i was pingus

do use M2

but M1 spam is pretty effective

[shadow wigeon]

Make sure you're really leaning into the crit build to make Surge blessing work, but also you may try something other than Surge

[kindred ivy]

with surge

nexus, and loads of crit

[golden sparrow]

when would you use m2 over m1?

[near drift]

Deflector just needs to let me throw back bullets I catch and then we're golden

[golden sparrow]

THAT WOULD BE SIIIIIICK lol

shotgun it back lol

[shadow wigeon]

For sure, I've been there - just as general advice I would not add block eff on top of stam unless you're intending it to be a very defensive build - I don't mean for you, I just mean for other people who are experimenting. +3 stam already lets you tank so much.

[shadow wigeon]

Kinetic Deflector -> Shrieking Flames, turn bullets into soulfire.

[near drift]

I have that pretty much, deflector deimos and purg staff, vent shriek as ability

[delicate stratus]

If you'd like some secret knowledge...

The Illisi can be ridiculous when paired with a good scriers build

You essentially become a faster zealot for its duration and it combos well with some ranged options

[shadow wigeon]

For goofs put Exorcist on it to stretch out Scrier's.

[delicate stratus]

I do. Plus quell on kill. I like slot machine perils.

It sometimes feel like I'm the emperor incarnate with hilarious amounts of damage and speed.

[primal tusk]

Ogryn, goes afk early in the mission, team refuses to kick

[golden sparrow]

leave the big brother alone just use his body as a shield

[primal tusk]

someone on the team kept reviving him, we waited 30 minutes at exfil

was malice espionage

atleast my psyker could carried

[shadow wigeon]

If you want some really Forbidden Psyker Knowledge, 21% HP curio, 20% sniper resist, and +10% Health talent = 2 sniper hits will leave you with exactly 1 HP.

[delicate stratus]

Zealots will see a psyker with this and say 'Look at him. He cannot dodge.'

[shadow wigeon]

You don't need to, you can finish the mission bleeding out of your eyes

[near drift]

getting hit by a sniper, couldn't be me definitely

[delicate stratus]

I would, but my warp-addled brain has me sprinting face first into the nearest ogryn to rip him in half

[lilac plover]

fr tho. that's funny but not remotely worth it due to the fact you simply shouldn't get shot instead.

absolutely fucking not putting stam on curios or weapon. absolutely not putting on any resist except corruption resist.

[silk hawk]

also "dont get stabbed"

[lilac plover]

true dude weapon only

seriously though if you get shot by a sniper you deserved it.

or, perhaps, at least made a decision to earn that fate.

[silk hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-may-the-force-be-gif-14784464

[delicate stratus]

but

stamina curios are goated

[lilac plover]

i see what you're saying, however:

no

[delicate stratus]

look at him. he can't even block thirty ragers

[summer prairie]

your weapon perk is probably doing a lot less than you think, just put stamina on it

[lilac plover]

https://tenor.com/view/i-robot-can-you-gif-9065419652448396713

[delicate stratus]

https://tenor.com/bd87T.gif

[lilac plover]

you know where that block damage is going?

right in my fuckin peril meter BABYYYYYYY

[silk hawk]

the more stamina u have, the less peril u gain per block, just saying xD

[lilac plover]

walking straight into a patrol of gunners free firing at me with my funny little force sword blocking funny little bullets

[delicate stratus]

I get like a rager swarm I swing my fat psyker ass forward and be like 'go on. hit me. I got peril and thirty bars of stamina'

[lilac plover]

you BETTER BELIEVE i use bullet block perk that shit is CASH

blocking a daemonhost as a not ogryn is a blissful feeling

[silk hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/peaky-blinders-gif-25274124

the worst is when they just keep running forward, leaving you behind

thats an interesting idea for challenge XDDD

[lilac plover]

i simply use voice chat to make this not happen.

[silk hawk]

capture daemonhost ALIVE

XDD

[primal tusk]

love when people see the scripture, they are right next to the scripture, they hover over the scripture, and then ignore it..... AS LEVEL 30'S

[silk hawk]

its bcuz

https://tenor.com/view/friday-dont-give-a-fuck-chris-tucker-gif-3477328

nah, you are right

but if they do it with plasteel

now thats piss me off

[primal tusk]

mission from sir milky

[silk hawk]

u reroll that

save your nerves

[primal tusk]

i already rerolled 400 diamantine for that

i almost exclusively play sedition or uprising, so diamantine not worth it for me

[silk hawk]

i mean if sir melk offer us like 3k currency for that mission alone, i would consider doing it

[primal tusk]

was quite a karma moment when the zealot yeeted ahead, then got crushed by a plague ogryn

then me and the ogryn killed the plague ogryn, revived the guy and forced him to go back to actually get the scripture

[silk hawk]

on uprising? sheeeeeesh

[primal tusk]

no....

on sedition

[silk hawk]

😂

[primal tusk]

the milkman gave me a decent chainsword

works nicely for my build

nah i dont wanna be a bother. specially not on my psyker

i can manage better on my zealot, veteran, or heck, even my level 14 ogryn

also wanna see my weird but fun build?

[plucky flax]

No I will not run recon lasgun.

[vocal cliff]

Scary

[primal tusk]

literally play it like a zealot

considering running knife to lunge at marked targets

[plucky flax]

Based knife psyker.

[primal tusk]

but the big question is

which knife

old knife was single target heavy attacks and new knife was more AOE?

[plucky flax]

I myself prefer the new one.

Can just push attack for single target.

And light attack for horde.

[primal tusk]

will do that then

does it still do the quick speedy lunge stuff?

[stuck sinew]

The sweep heavy is also slightly easier to hit heads with

[stuck sinew]

Yes

[plucky flax]

Yeah just heavy 1 heavy 2 slide run.

It's the same speed.

[primal tusk]

alrighty, thanks c:

[plucky flax]

Can always go back to old knife if you don't like it.

I would advise to run kd (if you are not) though since you'd be out of stam spamming push attack.

[primal tusk]

whoopsie, got two

which has better stat spread

[plucky flax]

First one more finesse.

[primal tusk]

finesse is the most important stat?

i dodge spam whilst attacking hordes or when soloing bosses

or montrosities

okidoki thanky

im bad at the whole build for stuff thing

[vocal cliff]

You're doing better than Reddit and gamelantern builds that's for sure

[spice veldt]

there's finesse damage, and there's the finesse stat on weapons

[primal tusk]

i just look at what seems the most fun

having quite a lot of fun yeeting myself at enemies as a squishy psyker

even using barrels to "rocketjump" over to a sniper

like in the prison assassination, last hallway next to the cells when you exit the elevator, i tend to use the yellow barrel to yeet myself over the horde and backstab alot of foes

it fun

[prime elk]

the atheneum lists crit bonus as a dump stat on the surge staff

is that right? 🤔

[summer prairie]

I wouldn't

[prime elk]

was reading the crit bonus section of the guide, but not following it

there's prob some nuance that i'm missing

ah ok critical bonus corresponds to critical damage bonus

and critical chance for melee (kek)

[summer prairie]

for range too

[prime elk]

for crit chance i'm only seeing for melee tho

unless game lying

[summer prairie]

seems weird to recommend crit chance as a perk but also suggest dumping the stat

it's lying

[quasi junco]

worth getting?

[primal tusk]

trying knife gameplay with psyker, its hilarious 😄

[delicate stratus]

I enjoy my 'KILL EVERYONE NOW OR I'LL EXPLODE' build

The true crackhead experience. Those heretics have gotta have it somewhere.

[proper elbow]

I dont understand the appeal of purgatus

[quasi junco]

great for mixed hordes

lmb has good stagger too

[prime elk]

@near wyvern sorry for the ping, we're trying to understand why crit bonus is recommnended as a dump stat for the surge staff

wondering if you could comment / provide some insight

does the crit bonus stat only give bonus crit chance to melee attacks with the staff (+bonus crit damage which is basically worthless as I understand), or is the game lying?

[summer prairie]

We know that it's also ranged crit chance. Fatshark fixed the description for some weapons, just not surge

[prime elk]

hmm aight well i'll wait to see what pygex has to say given that he wrote the guide

[orchid nest]

charge rate scales so little on surge that it should be part of dump considerations

I wouldn't dump crit yeah, no real reason to

[primal tusk]

so finished the mission

[prime elk]

Hmm aight

[primal tusk]

the sheer movement speed i get from knife + DD is insane

[prime elk]

Well I bought the staff but it was cheap af anyway

[primal tusk]

so, 40% movement speed + knife, and occasional speedge stim

[prime elk]

Knife zealot mains in shambles

[primal tusk]

yeah i had a knife zealot in my party, i outsped him

but the assail psyker in my party ruined my marked targets

[novel ginkgo]

My problem with the knife is that you are basically useless vs Crushers, Bulwarks and Maulers

So always paring it with a Surge Staff

[primal tusk]

got a columnus which i dump into faces

[orchid nest]

It does pretty good against all 3 of those if you have uncanny and bleed

not ds4 level or anything but acceptable

[primal tusk]

and i just run sedition or uprising

so like 1 bulwark in a blue moon on uprising, and crushers and maulers die to a fart

[novel ginkgo]

I'm running melee Psykler with a knife with Bleed blessings, a revolver and a lot of bad attitude, and it works

Still i do a lot more damage with my dueling sword, but the knife is really fun

Gotta go fast

[near wyvern]

because crit bonuses have bad scaling

if you would normally deal 100 damage but your crit eals 150 damage, +10% crit bonus damage results in a total of 155 damage (100 + 50 * 1.1) instead of 165 damage

so crit bonus on surge staff only really increases your critical hit chance, and for that, the crit bonus doesn't have a wide raw stat scaling, any decent roll (50+) will do

where as you have a staff that generates high peril

so warp resist, quell speed allow you to cast more

it's also a staff that only really hits a single target

so more casts is preferable

crit bonus has nothing to do with hitting break points for it as well

[orchid nest]

charge rate scales so little too that I'd rather have that as a dump on it or a combo or other traditonal dumps with it

[prime elk]

i see, i did follow the crit damage bonus being worthless

so the stat does indeed offer bonus crit chance, but seems like you're saying it doesn't really scale much either

not sure about the charge rate point

[orchid nest]

it's probably 2-3% crit chance depending on how much it's dumped

[silk hawk]

are these worth running in blaze trauma build?

[orchid nest]

charge rate on the other hand in the context of a high rating staff is probably a 20-30ms difference

if I set up 2 computers next to eachother and had you play on a 940ms and a 960ms connection you would not be able to tell the difference or consistently guess which one it is

if charge rate is dumped too much though then yeah you might start to notice it

[summer prairie]

it's 21% crit at 80, so 3.8% more than with his 61

[shadow wigeon]

Perfect TIming has a 10s cooldown, so you're going to be at max stacks most of the time. Also works for L1 spam.
Mettle won't be as good, but it works great for L1 spam.

[silk hawk]

i see

[orchid nest]

thank you syllogism. yeah idk, I like the atheneum pygex and often recommend it and stuff. I think this one is a miss though

[summer prairie]

Mettle is good with a crit trauma, you get toughness for every target it crit hits

[near wyvern]

for surge you want ideally flat stats

[orchid nest]

this is not the first time I have seen someone confused about the crit dump thing here, I think more clarification is due at least. but yeah flat stats are good on it

charge is the clear dump to me though on a staff with high rating

[late night]

how much does infernus contribute to monstrosity dps on accatran

laspistol

trying to decide if this is salvageable

would do speedload > dumdum and sprint to unyielding or flak

[prime elk]

Like just balanced stats?

[orchid nest]

I'm trying to remember the burn tick rate. 0.5?

[shadow wigeon]

There are also crit talents that benefit from higher crit, so there are different ways to go.
L1 is crit mult is 2.5X on body, so crit gives a big return there.

[late night]

im not sure, i rarely use infernus

[quasi junco]

lol 3rd in damage, most kills by far, how does that work

[shadow wigeon]

All the stats can useful on Surge, it depends a bit on your build and your playstyle.

[orchid nest]

if it's 0.5 it should be like roughly 400 dps on a monstrosity I think for infernus 4. that is a very rough estimate

considering just brain bursting something is probably somewhere around 600 that is pretty decent. I think infernus also keeps dumdum going like soulblaze too

[near wyvern]

yes

[late night]

ooh ok

[shadow wigeon]

You killed more small targets

[late night]

good to know

back to the grind, ty

[plucky flax]

The vet killed a lot of melee elites. They tend to have the most hp.

[quasi junco]

oh true, he was plasma

[plucky flax]

I wish my voidstrike was plasma.

[quasi junco]

with surge blessing you get technically 24 cleave right?

[orchid nest]

just gotta attach a plasma gun to the staff and have a staffgun

[vast yew]

do not give Chaos any more cursed ideas

[plucky flax]

https://tenor.com/view/smart-thinking-thoughts-think-ponder-gif-7713620

[plucky flax]

It has 12 cleave? But no it doesn't work like that since surge doesn't double the cleave value anyway.

I thought it has 6 cleave.

[quasi junco]

but you shoot twice

[plucky flax]

Yeah but if you don't kill the target then it sucks.

[quasi junco]

oh right lol

[summer prairie]

The surge staff special attack has 22.4 cleave, the horizontal one is almost good

if you could go straight into it maybe it would have some use. And if it was a bit faster

[primal tusk]

i kinda wanna get a staff to exclusively use the special attack to whack people

[glossy ember]

you're missing 3.8% or so crit so it's not too bad, shame the dump wasn't warp resist but you can still use this

[summer prairie]

actually it's pretty fast if you spam it, you can definitely horde clear it with safely, just slowly

[glossy ember]

they fixed decimator/BM affecting staff melee I think

[primal tusk]

WELL I STILL WILL ROCK IT

[glossy ember]

200 damage staff sweeps 😦

rip

[primal tusk]

i did a sedition assassinate mission with my ogryn, exclusively using the bully club slapping

[summer prairie]

oh you only get the higher cleave if you hold the button

[strong gulch]

The cleave on staff special is silly. Special hold to the head can knock back a surprising amount of enemies.

It's so slow tho.

[summer prairie]

what kind of hitbox is this https://streamable.com/k49wix

doesn't look like the middle ones are further away

[strong gulch]

Shorties stood in the middle, obviously. /s

[orchid nest]

that's actually a respectable amount of damage over the entire swing

[ornate hamlet]

one of them found a coin

[primal tusk]

the good one

[strong gulch]

dropped its nurgle contact

[ornate hamlet]

sneaky bastard

[compact bluff]

it has zero cleave damage falloff, so it does the same (small) bit of damage to everybody

[ornate hamlet]

STAFF SPECIAL META

[orchid nest]

pretty funny

[compact bluff]

the optimal melee staff blessings are warp nexus and transfer peril, and transfer peril lets you use a scriers gaze melee staff. not that i'd recommend it

[strong gulch]

NEW FUNNY BUILD

this is the way

[compact bluff]

i have said funny build already, about the only tips i have are that you can drag the first staff melee to hit multiple guys, and that you're completely reliant on transfer peril to maintain scrier's gaze so just keep aiming for heads

[orchid nest]

it would be funny if the sweep was the first one instead and you just saw psykers running around with with staff swing cancel macros spazzing out like the old lawnmower force sword meme

[compact bluff]

the stab is just as effective as the swing if you violently throw your mouse to the left as you do it

[orchid nest]

even better, adds to the chaos of it

[summer prairie]

just need 30 dd stacks and it's goodish https://streamable.com/ntsxjc

could probably do like 300+ per crit hit if I had let SG build up

[primal tusk]

still better than actually using a staff like intended.

I CAST.... PAIN!

[hot epoch]

Alright, whats the fastest firing gun

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/267334955246419969/1189274595535097986/aMEoedV_460swp.webp?ex=659d9147&is=658b1c47&hm=6d411239c006b88a123c8141346f477d0be6a2ba8883bc2c3f8c30c067eff59f&

[thorn cedar]

Shredder I guess

[marsh prism]

Columnus IAG works as well

[orchid nest]

columnus IAG is the go to fast firing gun for psyker atm

[marsh prism]

make half of a monstrosity's health dissapear into the warp by vaguely aiming at the weakpoint

[ionic needle]

I really don't like when monstrosities gets blessed by nurgle

takes forever to kill them

[proven stirrup]

Wow thanks Him on Terra!

This could be much worse for a raw drop

[shadow wigeon]

People would be very happy to roll something that good, congrats

[topaz sleet]

hey question is the wall psyker shield even worth using?

[vast yew]

That's... actually pretty perfect for a Surge

[topaz sleet]

over the bubble version?

[vast yew]

It's a lot harder to use but has its upsides

I don't like it personally

Does absolutely bully Mutants and Dogs tho

[shadow wigeon]

Wall is very strong, but bubble is often just generally more useful for your team. I prefer wall, personally. But once in awhile I try bubble and it just provides so much protection.

Wall is also great for bursters - they'll bounce off and generally explode.

Hunting Grounds will almost instantly vaporize a wall, so be ready

[proven stirrup]

Yeah this is wild. I've never gotten a Gift so clean before.

[vast yew]

Good thing Perilous Combustion procs instantly vaporize a Hunting Grounds wave

hahaha the dogs are on fire

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah Surge/Flames loves Hunting Grounds

Pop flames sometimes 3x per event

[vast yew]

if you can kill the first few dogs the rest just delete themselves

Miss Psyker a bit as I haven't been playing it much the past week

Trying to level my Vet instead

[prime elk]

Very good with BB imo

[vast yew]

Plasma is fun

[shadow wigeon]

Also wall has the subtle benefit of being able to trigger more often.

[prime elk]

Yeah

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah, that

heh

[prime elk]

Synergies with that BB modifier node

[vast yew]

Yeah Kinetic... Resonance?

I think it's called?

[shadow wigeon]

And better value out of Psykentic Aura

Yeah Resonance

That said I have tried to love BB, even with KR, wall, EP... and it's still tough. So much burst damage out there negating your attacks.

[quasi junco]

i only run BB with trauma or purg

[vast yew]

The trick with EP BB is to embrace right-clicks

it doesn't cost peril anyways

so you can charge via right click and then left click to insta-pop

can't steal that, suckers

[shadow wigeon]

Oh that's interesting, I had thought about the 0 peril on RMB

ok im back in

[languid tusk]

hey guys has anyone here completed hard mode twins with psyker ?

psyker is the only class I can't seem to find a good setup for hard mode

[shadow wigeon]

I use KR BB on Surge, for boss damage. It's very effective, but not useful outside of bosses (ocassional crusher)

[strong gulch]

No emps. No thanks.

[quasi junco]

yikes sniper gauntlet on supply train mission

rip

[topaz sleet]

ok so the wall shield is actually worth useing?

[languid tusk]

i dont think so O_O

[vast yew]

Haven't personally done it, but people have posted a bunch of different builds that have worked; just depends on if you can do your role

Saw Voidstrike/Smite/Bubble appear a few times, alongside Surge builds

[strong gulch]

Wall sheild is good. It's more brain on tho

[vast yew]

Think all the staves have beaten it

Gunker also great but you might need help finding ammo in the finale if you don't have a vet

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah, definitely. Bubble is on average better, I think, just because the buff is so strong. But Wall lets you control enemies.

[vast yew]

Bubble also carves out a safe space on the map, so you can use it to advance easier

alongside the toughness regen/DR boost

[prime elk]

yeah bubble is prob better overall as a team support tool

[vast yew]

Wall has potential to be better at blocking ranged attacked but requires better positioning and angles, which can be tough under pressure

[shadow wigeon]

The duration of bubble x global toughness regen is what really makes it a bit OP.

[vast yew]

E.G: to block a doorway completely, you have to be pretty much centered on the doorway and get the distance right
Mess up and the wall doesn't actually block attacks

the dome is just "Oh I need to block that doorway, boop, done"

you can be off by like 5 feet and it'll still work

[shadow wigeon]

Well, and you dont HAVE to block ranged with bubble.... you can also fight them inside the bubble, and its still effective.

[vast yew]

yeah bubble doubles as a "Group up here, idiots" button

as well as something you can just put on top of a Beast of Nurgle or Rodin to just turn them off for a bit

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah that's another thing.... bubble ends up being more effective against grenades just because they'll bounce off at greater range.

[vast yew]

Wall can have problems with multi-level fights

and a lot of nade tosses go right over

when it's good, it's great, but it can require a lot more thinking to put it in places where it works

[languid tusk]

alright heres the problem. voidstrike is slow to charge up and leaves you prone to getting backstabbed by a swarm of ragers. also using voidstrike means you are not using an autogun to break rinda's shield. you have hsield which is cool but you dont have shriek, and without shield you cant tank rinda + her brother + the 3 shotgunners behind rinda

[vast yew]

The Swarm of Ragers is your priority

[languid tusk]

so far I'm having moderate luck with deflector deimos with uncanny strike

[vast yew]

if you're Voidstrike

Generally speaking, if you're doing Hard Mode, you're doing it in a group with roles kinda pre-determined

Psyker's role is almost always to deal with the Elite spawns

[languid tusk]

thats my problem with psyker, whenever i do HM in a random group i do OP damage to the boss with my non-psyker build

with psyker im havcing problems 😄

[shadow wigeon]

Pubbing hard mode as psyker is not a great idea

[vast yew]

HM in a random group
this is the problem

[shadow wigeon]

unfortunately

[vast yew]

Get a group together, either among friends or using one of the LFG channels here

It'll go a lot easier

[lost junco]

thoughts?

[lost junco]

ngl never used the Mk2 before

[topaz sleet]

hey so are these keystones any good?

[vast yew]

If Warp Resistance and First Target were swapped that'd be a pretty good Obscurus, but Obscurus are a bit out of favor right now

IMO pass, but if you want to pick it up as a potential project down the rode you could

[lost junco]

yeaaah that first target one is a bit rough

[vast yew]

DD is good, has good numbers on the buff, but I don't like the minigame

It's not that it's hard, it's that it's distracting to me

[topaz sleet]

i just tried a game with it

it feels quite inconsisent

[shadow wigeon]

No, sadly.

it was made obsolete when Illisi/Deimos came out

[topaz sleet]

it also seems to only affact dregs/scabs and above

[vast yew]

if you don't have the upgrade that extends the buff from 15 sec to 30 sec it's really hard to keep stacks

[topaz sleet]

i tired the 30 stacks instead of 30 seconds

to see if its even reliable

but since it doesnt drop one stack at a time

it doesnt seem worth it

[vast yew]

yeah it drops all stacks at once

hence why most people recommend the duration increase instead

[topaz sleet]

tho it generally seems very inconsisent

[vast yew]

if it dropped one at a time then the 30 stacks would be OP

[shadow wigeon]

DD is very fun for Crit Void (Ideally Scrier's)

[topaz sleet]

like sometimes i see a marked enemy then it switches instantly

sometimes it switches multiple times

like it feels very inconsisent

[vast yew]

Generally speaking it only switches when the enemy dies

[shadow wigeon]

I have run 30 stacks on Void and it works a lot, but not all, of the time.

[vast yew]

or it should

[topaz sleet]

no i seen it switch with out enemy die

[shadow wigeon]

No, it can flip around for weird reasons.

[vast yew]

well ok then lol

I played with it like... twice and decided I'd rather just get the no-brain 24% boost from WS or the free Assail shots from EP

[topaz sleet]

also another thing

so for assail it says it does not consume charges

had they changed it with out changing description?

[languid tusk]

last man standing with psyker i consider this a victory

[vast yew]

no it's still correct

[shadow wigeon]

For Crit Void it's quite strong. The speed increase is just great QOL and Void benefits from +dmage, + weakspot and +crit damage. It's a big buff.

[spice veldt]

it means that no shards are consumed

empowered psionic charges are still consumed

[topaz sleet]

oh Oof

[languid tusk]

that much damage was from a single poxburster btw

[vast yew]

Oh no I know it's strong, I just don't want to bother with it.

plus I've recently been experimenting with EP Assail Void

Not quite as strong as WS Void, but lets you fling Assail shards around when enemies aren't in a nice line for Void

Has a more flexible playstyle that I've been enjoying

Can't one-shot Crushers anymore though, which is a tad sad but you still knock them over so it's usually still fine

[topaz sleet]

warp siphon seems to be best one

or atleast has great stuff

[vast yew]

Warp Siphon is generally considered strongest, yeah, though sometimes finding the full 5 points can be rough

[topaz sleet]

like reducing ability cool down(i been dropping bubble shields twice before first one drops)

and extra damage and so on

[shadow wigeon]

Siphon/Bubble line up well with Bubble long duration.
Wall is also worse with Siphon because you're using it more often.

[vast yew]

Also I don't remember who it was I was talking with when I was trying to find the 1 point for PC on my Voidstrike Smite/Bubble build

after some experimenting, losing the 6-charge upgrade for Siphon ended up being the best

[shadow wigeon]

Battery is definitely optional for Siphon

[topaz sleet]

voidstrike very strong currently?

[shadow wigeon]

I don't use it on any builds

[vast yew]

Voidstrike and Trauma are both S-tier IMO

very strong

[shadow wigeon]

Trauma/Surge/Void are all very strong, Purg is ok.
Void can be built for Transfer Peril/Flurry, or crit, or Scrier's mega crit. And crit builds can go Blazing Spirit, Surge or just Flurry for pure output.

[vast yew]

Don't do Blazing Spirit Void lmao

[shadow wigeon]

It's pleeenty strong. It's not as strong as the others, but it's close.

[vast yew]

I mean if you roll a perfect one and can't swap BS for Surge then sure I guess

but Surge pretty much eclipses it

[shadow wigeon]

yes, it's more damage, but Blazing is perfectly fine for auric damn,

And once you've used Blazing Void.... normal void looks so... PLAIN

[vast yew]

The Soulblaze FX do be popping

[shadow wigeon]

It also embarasses Purg a bit.

[vast yew]

yeah same with Blaze Trauma

Also I think I'd put Surge in a tier under Void and Trauma, though still above Purg

[shadow wigeon]

For me Surge is my #1 easily.

[vast yew]

doesn't quite have the same "oomph", ya know

Oh I Love it

Surge/Assail/Shriek, no-thinking build go

but I don't think it's as powerful as the other 2

[shadow wigeon]

Nah even on pure damage and utility, it's sightly above the other 2.

[quasi junco]

blazing void? gross, critstrike all the way

with true aim and dD

[shadow wigeon]

Surge/Trauma are the top 2 for me, damage and utility. Void is strong, but weak in a clutch/bad position.

[shadow wigeon]

I am a 1000 game Surge vet at this point though

ugh, maybe more

[vast yew]

Void can struggle a bit, although I've found rapid-firing right-clicks at the floor pretty decent for making space

[shadow wigeon]

Yeah it's fine, really. It's not a big difference.

[vast yew]

I also find myself in less bad positions due to it's stupidly strong ranged damage

but that was the main impetus for me to swap to EP Assail

as that helped a bit when things got messy

[shadow wigeon]

I do not use that build no.... I'll find it.

[vast yew]

it's the build I use when I don't feel like aiming

[shadow wigeon]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9aec13a1-8d04-4fde-a2ff-2c73786ac358/surgeflames-sprint

This is a very edgy sprint build. Whittled down over dozens of games of testing.

[glossy ember]

holy

[shadow wigeon]

Happily rolls through maximum mael difficulty

[primal tusk]

pain

[ornate hamlet]

[primal tusk]

the biggest problem i will have now is going back to Zealot and go far too slow compared to what i am used to now

but... am planning to level my ogryn after

[shadow wigeon]

Chastise Crit zealot with a catachan is a level of speed psyker can't get to...

[primal tusk]

currently got warp speed scriers, disrupt destiny and knife

and yeah i got a zealot build like dat

[orchid nest]

psyker is fun for bursts of speed, zealot def wins for consistent speed though

[primal tusk]

although i use the tactical axe cause it does more damage

[shadow wigeon]

tsk tsk... you want that cleaving crit so you can ult in a horde every 2 seconds.

[primal tusk]

will have to check out

[vast yew]

Taxe is unfortunately kinda just... outclassed by the DS4

Caxe still has some utility, albeit not a ton

[primal tusk]

Caxe feels too slow for me

[shadow wigeon]

Catachan MK4, shred/wrath (or sweep). Max your crit. Ult every 2 seconds. ok enough zealot talk here.

[vast yew]

Caxe is slow; Mk2 gets a bit of a speed boost thanks to finesse stat, and the key is Brutal Momentum so you kill 4 horde dudes per swing

IMO it’s better on the other classes but you can still use it if you want

[primal tusk]

found this on a catachan mkVI

its stats are a bit low finesse wise, but the rest is aight

[shadow wigeon]

Sorry, I meant Devil's Claw, not knife.

[vast yew]

You’ll want that uncanny on a knife though I’m not familiar with exactly how to build one

[primal tusk]

i skipped over Devils claw a lot because it had relatively low m1 spam

[prime elk]

for horde clear? you can def m1 spam with it still 🤔

[primal tusk]

anyhow, gotta gets me more money

i have 8 coins to my name

[plucky flax]

Dayum u's a broke ass biatch

[thin stump]

Do i have to use smite for this or?

[shadow wigeon]

It has quite strong L1 spam, specifically for crit zealot thanks to cleave. Chainsword similarily.

[shadow wigeon]

The fastest way to get a warp charge is kill elites/specialists, and then pickup spare WC with Psychic Vampire. Getting that penance in a pub can be a bit of luck, if there's a plasma/revolver spefically going after elites you might have a hard time.

It also depends what difficulty you're playing. Lowe the difficulty, fewer mobs/elites, harder to get.

[prime elk]

for dclaw 4, still prefer light-heavy combo

fingers can't take light spamming

[ornate hamlet]

dclaw 4 is like

fucking ridiculous lightspam on pure hordes

you just see everything melt and your character carving a path like you're holding the hot knife and opening a gap in butter

though it could be the vet melee build speaking to me

[primal tusk]

gonna try that .....as soon as i get money

[ornate hamlet]

I'm almost sure I can one-shot a full health poxwalker with any light there

And when you got 20% extra attack speed, it just gets funnier

[primal tusk]

someone carry me through auric maelstrom? jk jk

[ornate hamlet]

I mean, I probably could play a bit if the boss tells me the store doesn't open today

[primal tusk]

no need

just gonna play one or two malice

[ornate hamlet]

ew

I mean uh

good luck

[primal tusk]

yeah... malice players are... uh...

but i dont trust myself playing higher difficulties

[ornate hamlet]

I mean

I can't deny starting out being kinda bad on higher stuff, but through trials and tribulations I came out on top and now I'm the one doing the heavy lifting lots of times

You can already be largely prepared for higher difficulties by just internalizing the push, block and dodge loop

Other important stuff like creating your own space, using verticality to your advantage and just running the fuck away if things get too spicy

AKA "don't backpedal by impulse", "know what's around you" and "remember you can climb on shit"

The latter being the solution to fire traps

Once you understand the height of objects you can climb on, the rest of the verticality follows

I got in trouble because I didn't know that blue box was too tall, but I thought quick enough to see the yellow one as a height advantage to get to the one I wanted

[prime elk]

If your level 30, give damnation a go imo

[left basin]

just dunk yourself in and ignore the whining for some time. you'll get a feel for it

eventually you'll be scowling at malice apologists in discord

[vocal cliff]

Ever since I got that one hat with the red bandana for psyker good revolver stats started pouring out

On one hand, cool
on the other; I don't want this

[shadow wigeon]

I foget if low intensity still exists - lowintensity damnation is a great way to move up

[ornate hamlet]

Still does

Sleepy time

Jump into auric or gay

[lyric burrow]

Low int still exists just rare

[languid tusk]

there is hard mode, and then there is playing psyker

if i get clipped by literally anything while kiting the swarm of ragers my health evaporates immediately

just went from full to dead because a flamer slowed me down

[prime elk]

It’s usually not too bad but yeah one slip up or bullshit moment and you’re down

It was especially bad before they fixed fire

[languid tusk]

at least i can play deflector

so surprise 10 shotgunners don't delete me

[primal tusk]

won

had 2 gunner ogryns who did most the work

[dreamy bramble]

Does Run n' Gun for staffs effect the damage at all? I recall FS saying the blessing increased close range damage by 10%.

[languid tusk]

only if you shoot the staff while sprinting

[primal tusk]

it was a hi intensity purge assassination, so was hectic and i let the ogryns take all the ammo so i ran the malice mission knife only

[languid tusk]

run and gun does not buff your damage if you shoot while stationary

[dreamy bramble]

Thx. Guna go run around with fire now.

[primal tusk]

good news though, two missions away from level 30 psyker ||gonna watch the shopkeeper be shot for the third time||

[languid tusk]

finally found a psyker build that lets me do noice damage to the twins

[lethal lagoon]

Why would you reply to me with literally what I said?

[languid tusk]

uncanny strike deimos, if aiming for the head, can phase the ranged twin before his shield comes back up

then smite + all soulblaze talents for toxic gas phase

and columnus autogun to break rinda's shield

[primal tusk]

psyker 30

one more class to go, ogryn

[prime elk]

easiest to level up, easiest to play

[late night]

on gunker, do ppl run disrupt or empowered keystone

[orchid nest]

both are viable, whichever one you like depending on how much you lean on assail

[untold widget]

ayyy, merry christmas siblings!

[static needle]

Can mercy killer be any good on knife 6?

[strong gulch]

If you have bleeds, it's good. Could definite do worse.

Rending + bleeds is hard to pass up tho.

[ionic sorrel]

I use those two on my knife vet since they have a talent to give bleed to anyone hit with melee.

Not really sure where you would get bleed from if you are a Psyker with that.

[static needle]

do you really want bleed tho when u can run something that makes it better for single target

like precognition or even riposte paired with uncanny?

[strong gulch]

If you are doing mercy killer, you also have to do a bleeding blessing to get any use out of it.

Bleeding is pretty good without mercy killer. Spam push attacks into the head with uncanny and flesh tearer.

[static needle]

eh, idk about flesh tearer, does bleed really make that big of a difference?

[strong gulch]

Knife base crit is already pretty high plus psyker base 7.5% chance.

[static needle]

compared to higher crit chance with riposte or precognition?

[zealous hamlet]

i can either reroll the +maniac to +flak or upgrade warp flurry to 4 🤔

[orchid nest]

it's pretty good for boosting horde clear and monstrosities, yeah
