pre-patch 13 it had a cleave of 4
How high is infinite? Because plasma gun has way more pierce than void
plasma has a cleave of 100
crushers have 20 mass iirc so yeah it shouldn't cleave past one
yeah, pretty sure void has a max cleave that's a bit lower
crushers have a hit mass of 25, I believe
yall are going to make me stop what I'm working on to open up the psykward?
I'm opening up Aussiemon's github repo of the Darktide Lua now
what stats to primarily aim for in a voidstrike staff?
rolled a 374 but blast radius is at 62
blast raidus is dumpy 
nice
Psykward, you love krabby patties, don't you?
I'll let you find out the exact amount from the repo but it seems like 10-12 based off my test. groaners keep moving around
iirc cara is hard coded to stop void regardless of mass
I need to photoshop a psyker helmet onto squidward now
only when they're made from Patrick
oh ho
there's a weapon_trait for "forcestaff_p3" which is the surge staff
templates.weapon_trait_bespoke_forcestaff_p3_electrocuted_targets_receive_increased_damage_debuff
I may be stupid, but Perilous Combustion and Wildfire seem worthless for purge staff
PC doesn't proc from soulblaze damage
I apply WAY more stacks by using vent and the actual staff
that may explain the increasing damage by consecutive surge staff charges
yes it does
Trust your first instinct 
PC procs from death, the only thing that matters is that you killed it
today is just misinformation day isn't it
It's just hilarious that soulblaze staff doesn't want soulblaze perks
PC can't proc from soulblaze. It can from bleeds though
that's a super easy test
DO YOU WANNA DO THIS? I JUST FOUND OUT HOW TO USE NVIDIA OVERLAY (thx @long wharf ) and I will wreck you now
Ima go test it, that seems very contrary to the point of PC
PC shouldn't care how you get the kill
play a game?
No, just record PC proccing from soulblaze
go ahead
perilous is still decent for purge. it procs a decent amount in the stream, goes over purgs max stacks, and you can always proc it with melee
please show me
also one of the reasons Assail + Purg is a good combo
yeah that too
though, I could see FartShack being afraid of soulblaze self-propagating with PC
FartShack is afraid of everything
I said your first ๐
Also yeah, obviously PC procs from soulbalze, I feel like a moron for going to test it.(I don't understand the world anymore)
This chat always get's me to test obvious stuff
Are you sure you have pc on?
I think if you paint the enemy when they die it will proc
I let it tick down.
yes
And the best part of PC is that it procs other PCs
If I kill the rager while shooting, PC procs
aw man, projectile definitions aren't in lua
if only
but if I let ticks kill, no spread
show me your vid
this would be weird
It was hard to tell exactly the amount since groaners move around some and I didn't feel like testing for a long time but it cleaved around 10-12 groaners and stopped there
what about multiple crushers in a line?
I wonder if the first time I got it to work was just the talent tree being buggy
it stops at the first
it's possible what I'm remembering was a patch 13 bug
when void was just insane
the patch 13 patch notes said "removed cleave limit on void secondary attack"
you're probably just noticing surge since it's separate
iirc it still had a limit
that's possible
but it felt like there wasnt one because it was so much higher than before
So far, bleed and burn apply PC, but not Soulblaze
fml
the Darktide Lua doesn't have projectile behavior defined
I feel like the infinite cleave thing was just a myth
yeah they specifically made PC not proc PC
pretty sure thats just someone overreacting and getting corrected immediately
^ indeed, that's me
Only use PC + Purge if you plan on using melee or blitz for kills.
surge does however also gets its own limit, which is how you can technically get 24 in one
Well I max out blaze stacks faster than PC kills anything
PC goes above the cap
so PC is a non-perk in that matter
PC and Vent cap are 32, purg is 15-16
I think cleave values are defined in the damage profiles in the repo
Tbf I have been tricked into testing quite a few things.
really?
does PC get triggered by purg right click direct damage at least
or is just hard coded to not trigger on all SB damage
PC triggers from purge staff attacks
just not sb itself
okay, so there is a player_projectile_tempaltes.lua file
with projectile_templates.force_staff_ball_heavy
Purg damage can definitely trigger PC
that has under impact properties "delete_on_hit_mass = true"
I guess its not totally pointless then, would be nice to be able to adjust the stack counter to show a different color over a certain stack for testing
I'm not seeing any hard values on hit mass or cleave
to see how much this might happen
but I leave that to the purg players to deliberate
Honestly the more I test it, the less worthwhile PC seems
PC is still good at higher difficulties
you need PC to fight sheer enemy densities in mixed crowds
it's low damage unless you manage to kill large amount of specials/elites, but then what's the point? They're already dead
@long wharf I think they are under scripts/damage/damage_profiles
1 talent point adding about ~10%~ to your total scoreboard damage, and it being huge burst during the worst moments, is always going to be worth it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
the horde around them may not be
pc is fine, just not for purg I guess
The PC interaction is why I think purg is the 3rd best soulblaze staff
not only that, but 4m radius is tiny
its not that bad in hordes
I can't even get a shotgunner to proc it on a rager diagonally in psyk
especially since it applies the stacks to everything, not share the stacks around
eh, I'll dig into this more after dinner
sorry I missed one there, scripts/settings
you can see it work well in the specialist pile
I have to kill 3 specials or elites to even do reasonable damage with the sb
I mean 6 stacks is enough to kill trash
at that point why don't I just swing my sword at the horde, it'll kill it faster
and doing some damage to everything else is good
I took it off my gunker build, didn't even notice it
Isn't PC a big reason why psyker columbus mk5 out dpses veteran mk5?
seems like a mistake but you do you lmao
Every 10 points Purgatus damage is worth 1 damage on left click
did you check scoreboard for warpfire damage at least
PC is mainly for raising max stacks when you already apply stacks with something else. blaze trauma crit, creeping flames. you're at 9. stacks adding ontop of that starts to get very valuable on elite packs
its not nothing
I think its the total buffs in scirers
and its only 1 point
but PC helps
Uhhh, vet can grab every single buff on their tree on top of the damage ability ๐คทโโ๏ธ
being able to horde clear while elite clearing kinda huge I'd say
It's not as high as Scrier's + DD
Damage means nothing unless it's on larger enemies. Kills and breakpoints matter.
but also Columus Psyker has about 100% crit with True Aim, which procs Mettle and EE
If I can kill an enemy with one heavy, or I can kill an enemy with 1 heavy and 3 stacks of soulblaze, the soulblaze did nothing
damage makes breakpoints easier, especially in a world of spammy guns, psykers and dots
also two specials or elite kills hits the breakpoint for hordes near them which is good enough
Don't build dots around breakpoints
especially on gunker where youre lacking some trash clear
two PC procs kills every normal enemy. Letting you kill the ones that aren't blue
The only dot breakpoint that matters is 6 stacks kills gunner patrols
soulblaze from PC definitely helps horde clear because you still have to contend with cleave and it reducing your damage
everything else is just "point at it untill it dies"
but damage doesnt matter
oke
maybe im too enlightened void brain but trickle damage on shit lets me charge less
making me kill better
You build the dots around applying them faster
no shit
im not saying taking PC is you building deliberately to hit breakpoints genius
If you apply them faster, you kill them faster. I'm not gonna build a fire build around "If i get this node it requires one less tick to kill enemies"
its free damage, and damage does matter even if you think BPs are the only thing
you aint playing in a vacuum
where everyone deliberately clicks on enemies al lthe time
You just apply as many as possible as fast as possible because ammo isn't a thing, and you have a flamethrower, go nuts
shit like aoe damage, cleave and whatnot
PC applies stacks slower than the staff and shriek, so I don't care about it that much
You can't stack DD in the pysch right?
who cares about 3 stacks on kill when I have already applied way more than 3 to way more enemies than PC could ever do? I'll use the node somewhere else that matters more
nope
if you apply a lot of soulblaze already it's valuable because it goes up to a 31 hard cap. if you don't apply much it's free damage. fatshark thought it was good enough to nerf it
DD doesn't work in psyk for some reason
why are you still talking about purg
we're talking about PC
in general
we already established it doesnt work well with purg
I'm talking about the usefulness of PC on purge, which I am fully convinced is not worth it
additionally, I just don't think PC is worth it period
then why tf you arguing with a wall
we already agree
pc generally is worth, see my previous statements
PC is fine for purg if you have assail or melee a lot with it. goes over max stacks and all that. there is a huge incentive to melee with purg anyways at a point since blessings boost it. like having an uncanny/slaughterer deimos out and your soulblaze getting 40% more power and full armor piercing
not only does not everyone play around every BP, but with random aoe's cleave and shit in the mix sometimes shit just dies from 4 sources of "useless damage" as you might put it, because it wasnt picked with the intent to hit a BP, yet it works
pc is good, just not on purg I guess
you can make the argument that taking it on gunker is a waste of a point to get to the node, thats fine
Obviously I have no idea how much it adds to your scoreboard on purg, but for normal builds it's usually like 10%ish. And it's most effective during huge elite hordes which when you are most in danger.
unless youre also ass ailing
I have a major problem with assail: The nodes under it are bad
god forbid someone misses the weak spot on a target and the SB trickle helps them kill
I dont know what gunkers do I guess youre all ass ailers?
in which case sure
I don't run assail with gunker because it prevents me from getting psykinetic's aura
Isn't assail uh
what nodes? mind in motion yeah. but malefic is built with assail in mind quick swapping in melee to help your horde clear if you have a gun
Right above the node that gives warp damage on non-warp kill
And also coming with 10% toughness damage reduction if you want the crit aura
I guess gunkers dont quick switch
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
They're some of the best nodes you can get with assail tbh
Well if I am using a non-warp ranged and melee weapon the only thing it benefits is assail which is already getting outperformed by both my weapons, so why have it?
To use assail
You can clean rooms of shooters with it, attack ragers and do all sort of stuff that doesn't require aim
because assail is already best used quick swapping since it procs/uses a lot of weapon blessings
But if I use assail, then my peril is dedicated to that instead of Scrier's Gaze
Good thing I have psykinetic's aura
so I have about 8 seconds of not being in SG
You can use scrier's gaze for dealing with large targets and doing other kinds of funnies, but I do agree it feels weird with assail
It's like they're both fighting for attention from the player
I ended up using the stun wall when I was using assail
Assail and SG just seem not useful together
Then I wanted scrier's gaze and switched to smite
every time I see a gunker go "MUH GAZE" I see their asses cap at 15 stacks, literally only getting half value
the only time I see people get 30 is when they actually manually quell, which feels like shit
unless youre a weird staff gaze bozo
Half value?
doesnt gaze stack to 30
Just pressing the button gets you way more value
SG is just super buff with a low cd
what are you even talking about
@plucky flax I too have a new mouse. I got the wired version because I'm cheap.
The old one was double clicking and miss clicks. ๐ฅฒ
Wired noooooo 
i'd use gaze pretty much only for the crit chance
Everytime I have SG up I am way faster, way tougher, and way kill-ier no matter how many stacks i have
I mean of the two things gaze does, crit does seem like the more valuable one
53% toughness damage resist just for pressing f
10% damage isnt nothing but it aint exactly "roast my nuts on a fire" type hot shit
๐ฆ
remember that DD finesse basically doubles all the damage from SG
I mean tbh you should have a wired mouse if you don't move it away from your computer. good ones have not noticeable wires anyways and wireless ones always develop some kind of problem earlier. I guess if you don't mind buying new ones though it doesn't matter
Wired is still good yus. 
since finesse is added at the end of damage calc
I switched from a wired about a few months ago, and I get phantom wire problems
Where I'll move the mouse funny, expecting the wire
But there isn't one
I hate wireless tech
it won't be really double unless you're running double stacks
scrier's?
Scrier's gaze
and scrier's gaze is only a 20% increase in crit chance
What I'm saying is the finesse damage has no diminshing returns on damage due to how it's calculated
another thing is that psyker's toughness DR nodes is multiplicative
I multiplies the effectiveness of your other buffs
literally dont feel a difference myself between the two so I just get wired stuff 
what do you mean by diminishing returns
So far it's good. Getting used to it is going to take awhile. I've lived in the same place for 6 years and still can't remember which switch does what... so it will be awhile.
it's multiplicative with other effects like most other things in the game
and stacks additively with itself
Do you mean like each 5% toughness DR node is multiplicative? Or all of them combined with another sources?
Every 90s data center ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
each of them is multiplicative
and including One with the Warp
and the toughness dr talent of scrier's gaze
only ogryn gets the additive toughness res 
the 5% passive small ones should be additive no? I believe syllogism checked that just recently. but all the other non passive nodes are multiplicative
I think you're using the opposite word of what you mean
mult, last I heard
Oh you have 502 now?
no i'm not
For armor DR it's backwards compared to damage.
Multiplicative is good for damage, bad for armor
I used to have a picture of an old data center with cords going everywhere at head height and one bit of it being used as a laundry line by one of the guys who worked there
5x +5% toughness dr = 1 - (1 - 0.05) ^ 5 toughness dr
Like if you reee every time
pretty sure he was just thinking of ogryn at the time
Okay, so if I take one dr node, I take 95% damage right? How much damage do I take with two nodes
crab on the other hand said that they're all multiplicative since they're 95% in the code
yeah maybe. so ogryns are additive but psykers aren't? tf
whatever 1 - (1 - 0.05) ^ 2 is
more than 90%
or well, (1 - 0.05) ^ 2
I saw crab say they are additive so now I'm really confused. although he was talking about ogryn
only ogryn gets the additive stuff
Thank you sherlock
that's funny
97.5?
you'll take 90.25% damage with 2x +5% toughness dr nodes
that's multiplicative and not as good as additive
so ogryns get all theirs additive and still also have the baseline what..? 36% or something?
yes thats what diminishing returns means
Okay, so the term I think is more clear is hyperbolic scaling
Ogryn toughness take 10 damage fire tick 
also just casually taking sniper shots without health damage in full toughness setups 
fire ticks get stronger over time
heres the next 5% node
Additively. Each node still effectively is 5% less damage
True, the return is still good enough that's it's effectively linear scaling
Yup. If it didn't work this way it would be too strong to stack
I'm aware, it still doesn't do a lot on a toughness feel no pain Ogryn.
clearly they don't want anyone getting 100% toughness damage reduction
feel no pain ogryn also gets a massive amount of reduction is the thing
the moment the multiplicative starts to hurt is when you get to the other things like this
true
yeah I mean they can take a sniper shot with what? 1 or 2 sniper resist curios on. that takes like 1200 effective toughness or something right?
It's feels the same though
which is why I dont personally put too much value into tdr
Multiplicative is ridiculous
because why not just run OwtW
It makes things deal more damage and makes you take more
so how would one calculate tdr with different numbers?
1-(1-.33)(1-.2)?
I do it with *.95 for example for 5
I tested a bunch of combos a while back. 3 sniper resists, feel no pain, and about 180 toughness.
works better for my brain
Same
I already do the subtraction before the math because I hate the 1- crap
That sounds about right since I've seen them with upwards of like 220 toughness. I guess you can probably lose 1 or 2 sniper resists at that point
5% TDR is 95% damage taken
Each 5% toughness DR node is still 5% more effective toughness. Even with the multiplicative thing.
I've had a sniper shot do less than 100 toughness with bleed enemies surrounding me
I've been meaning to convert my ogryn to full toughness I just don't play him a lot. basically logged him in just to do twins hm when it released
I don't understand, I'm getting 80% damage
It's the same process for enemy resist
max fire stacks is 18 per tick on bombers, so basically 10 ๐

Yeah, that's why I don't bother with 3 gunner resists anymore, esp with the fire changes, just 2
youre using the second node additively then, I wanna say each node gets applied, then the next, making them notably less efficient as they go on
Because you take the damage you'd take, AKA 1
not sure if thats how it works tho
And multiply it by 0.8 twice
but I think it is
So your total damage taken by gunner resist with 2 perks is 1x0.8x0.8
Nvm, I figured it out. One with the Warp and Endurance at max power is 46% tdr total
etc
yeah 2 resists is decent you really lose out on the third one though value wise
It's also because of this system that multiplicative damage is goated
what about the peril generation nodes?
jokes on you I only get OwtW and another 5% travel node 
The reductions get diminishing returns, the increases get increasing returns
when in doubt I think its all multiplicative
peril gen feels additive when testing warp charges smite vs ep smite
I think even CDR is?
Assume multiplicative when it's reducing and additive when it's increasing
That way you reach the minimum value for both
And are surprised when it's better
Yee. G502 wired

this surge staff is fun wtf
not as slow as the void, but not the purg staff either.
Also, if i wanted to do a recon lasgun for the gunker. Which version was best?
okay I'm back
Doesn't recon lasgun not have any finesse stat, so it doesn't benefit at all from the gun related psyker talents?
It should. True aim should work with columns, I would think it would work with recon
columnus has finesse though
recon las is pretty bad, but Vld is the better* one I believe.
I don't use it, but I remember that being the case. Every time I tried to use one it just took ages to kill anything that wasn't meaninless
good for proccing Kinetic Flayer though
I'm bored. I wanted to see if the infernus blessing would work well with psyker's true aim
it should boost it afaik since stats still work on things without the bars and they usually just denote that it's a variable you can increase on that weapon
but finesse damage by itself won't do much anyways
laspistol is pretty good 
The old one.
I know but I wanted to try recon as I never seen anyone do it
yeah the old laspistol is great. the new one isn't too bad but the old one has more synergy with psyker talents
well try it out, you might find out the hard way why no one uses it, but if you have fun you have fun
There's a good reason for that
just be prepared for the team hate as you hoover ammo like a thirsty little sibling
Also lemme double check that vld is the better of the 3, one sec.
It's cause the 1% of darktide players know it's an amazing combo and they don't want me to find out about it 

I'm pretty sure that 1 crusher requires 2 mags of recon lasgun fire to take down
thats only like 220 ammo
for one enemy
and?
So yeah, back when recon was pretty good for vet, Vld was the main one 
the burn damage should get boosted by the warp raider node
but True Aim works only on ranged attacks
of which burn stacks are not
Wut?
he meant that he could guarantee crits for the infernus procs
also, @orchid nest - damage_templates.default_force_staff_bfg
has cleave_distribution attack = 10 and impact = 12
thank you
I dont know a single ranged weapon that has a rollable finesse stat, weapons still do have most of the stats even if they are not rollable, finesse still exists its just a set number auiu
which may mean a cleave limit of 10 enemie? I'm not entirely sure how those values translate into in-game cleaving
every enemy has their own mass so for groaners it would be 13ish based on that
but poxwalkers are like 1.5 iirc should be 1
groaners should be .75
oh are they? my bad
yeah it most likely is, I have been misled here before I suppose
I start seeing perils of the warp effects whenever I start digging through Darktide's Lua
god I hate Lua so much
may as well edit my message so someone doesn't search it and also get misled
I guess poxwalkers would be 1 mass then?
man that's disappointing
feels like when I learned void only had a cleave of 4 pre-patch 13
realistically at least you cleave a lot more of them with the surge projectiles too
and true aim
that's true
and void is still big damage to what it hits with True Aim helping to proc surge blessing frequently
makes me feel better about using assail on crowds more than void
it still feels better than almost anything at cleaving down a line horde since you have surge and can do small charged shots. plasma will run out of ammo trying to horde clear. there is kickback ogryn which is silly when the horde is the right shape
well, if you're trying to use plasma gun to horde clear, you're going to have a bad day, mkay
lol yeah
that was the funny part of the plasma change
"what's a good cleave value to go up to from 4? oh yeah, 100"
well that makes sense if you consider the hit mass of ogryn enemies
plasma ought to cleave through some of them
I agree there and it's kind of a problem with how the system is designed as I would hope it could cleave ogryns but at the same time it just blasts through way too many regular elites now
hell, you could bump up void's secondary cleave to 20 and it'd simply be better against crowds without allowing you to gun down ogryns with it
I think a better way to balance it would be if body parts had their own mass instead. going through an ogryn head wouldn't be as hard as trying to power through their torso, which would allow the amounts of other elites to be more balanced
that seems like a logical thing to implement, so no, not for Darktide

no it's just that recon lasguns have very poopoo crit/weakspot multipliers
which is why you use that recon blessing to up your crit chance on weakspot hit
there's "finesse" as a stat that scales crit/weakspot 'power' and usually attack speed
and there's "finesse damage" which is the same as the crit/weakspot dmg perks
good aiming with the recon VId makes it crit frequently with that blessing
and unless the weapon name is brain burst, they'll usually have some crit/weakspot multipliers
tfw arco just says what I said but better again ๐
o i didn't read
you should be used to it by now
reading is for scrubs
but yeah weapons generally have all applicable stats
dun worry bout it boo
like weapons still have a reload stat, since they have a number
thats the best way to illustrate it
some weapons you can roll it, most you dont
my understanding is that finesse also affects attack speed, which doesn't make sense for a ranged weapon
yeah which is why I dont think there is a ranged weapon with that stat rollable
but then we look at the Ogryn
and one of the new space drugs we can use
because that makes sense.
man
did a 3 man archivum in 25m lol
that was such a smooth run
feel bad for our fourth tho he really did keep trying to reconnect. unsuccessfully.
I'm loving vraks headhunter on gunker
Vraks 7 has stupid finesse
Vraks 3 is comfy
Agri uhhhh 2? Is a fucking cannon disguised as a burst gun
If memory doesn't fail me, it has 40 stagger on a headshot
Which psyker gun has highest DPS?
I havnt played in over a year. Get back on. I cant decide on a Psycher build...
Revolver
prob columnus tbh
The autoguns have funny damage
Thank you sibling!
took me a while to respond eh.. guess thats what work does to you
Did shock staff get fixed yet
Or does it still target wrong limbs
And have other damage bugs
It's fixed
Shock is solid 
Ive been using shock and brain like OG release.
it's alright
not great
we all had a really lengthy discussion about surge earlier today
Meh, ranged mobs are one of the biggest issues in pubs and surge is amazing at dealing with them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I would never run surge in a pre-made of skilled players.
I definitely wouldn't say "amazing"
You can insta kill ranged mobs and generate enough peril and toughness to tank ranged fire while doing it.
At least among staves there is no comparison.
For killing ranged mobs? Not at all
Killing ranged mobs is a waste of DPS on void
Esp if they are scattered in anyway
Takes too much time.
not if, hear me out here, they're not in melee range
the only thing surge is amazing at is staggering non-ogryns
So your point is about sniping ranged mobs potentially behind buggy cover at 25m and longer?
the two that you hit at a time
Void and revolver need that wacky-ass line-up gaming
You are literally proving my point with that lmao
if you're talking about the "superiority" of killing a lone gunner...
They're primarily to clown on chonky targets
Like a true reject
then you've missed the point entirely
oh, surge has a long range? I kinda thought it was for short range stuff
Missed the part where you keep trying to go offtopic?
surge staff doesn't have a really long range
"Meh, ranged mobs are one of the biggest issues in pubs and surge is amazing at dealing with them ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I would never run surge in a pre-made of skilled players."
Literally all I said, and you keep derailing.
24m covers a lot more than you'd think
"derailing"... I don't think it means what you think it means
"gunner" #psyker-class message
Matches with surge or smite ๐ด
with Smite yes. Surge is fine. imo
surge can be useful, it can kill weaker things more quickly than shooting with void or assail
it will not carry a bad run
it will not clutch through a bad situation
trauma can
void hits like a mac truck
yeah surge defwont clutch
Surge will make it so you are never in a positon where you need to clutch ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Well never is strong
oh man, tell me you have little experience without saying so
surge has nothing to do with the rest of the team letting you down
Surge covers a lot of pub skill gaps
not on high heresy+
surge can easily be your primary weapon in Malice-
but then, most things can
I think they need to reduce the stagger on surge and smite, maybe slow down enemies instead of freezing them
This is a specialized channel in a discord, if we aren't automatically talking about auric t5s and auric maels, you are in the wrong place.
the truly sad thing is if we start talking about that, you're even more wrong than you were before
Pffftt
I don't think you realize what rapidly clearing ranged mobs, opening bulwarks, and stunning maulers/crushers does for pubs.
Ranged mobs shred pubs who never seem to deal with them right.
I know exactly what it does
I still use surge fairly regularly despite how lacking it is
I'm sure you do, you are just a contrary motherfucker who makes up agruments cause you enjoy it.
oh no, my feelings
anyways.
surge isn't amazing
it's okay
literally any ranged weapon worth using will kill as quickly, if not quicker, than surge
#psyker-class message Here's you arguing with someone about how true aim doesn't affect burn stacks, like you literally spawned a nonexistent argument out of thin air lmao. That doesn't even make sense.
surge/ smite is literally no aim required, instant stunlock and almost infinite ammo. boring weapon to see
you mean I misinterpreted the intent of their statement?
That's an understatement lmao.
"high heresy+"
no, it's just a factual statement
Why would u say that
You didn't misinterpret it, you practically warped reality to have an argument with someone.
regardless, you're still wrong about how amazing surge staff is
I specially dislike being in a match with a psyker that ONLY uses smite the whole match
it's not amazeballs
1v1 in mourningstar
it's underwhelming
Is in a "its useable" state
nah, psyker as a whole is in a really good place right now
I've had a match where I forgot I had smite and we wiped woops
In heresy?
it irks me, but sometimes i feel it's very effective. like what could be better than freezing enemies in a horde shooter.
the only thing psyker can't outdo the other classes in is bosskill
Cuz in a5+ psyker is def the weakest class out of 4
Still good
Game is pretty balanced
But psyker isnt nutty like vet or ogy ๐
what
brother, if you think there's no such thing as roles in Darktide, you haven't played with a real team
if all you know is PUG play, you're missing out on the best experiences Darktide has to offer
roles are there. even in pubs. get in the habit of looking at loadouts and fill in niches and your matches will go better
My builds deal with every situation, whether theres 4 ppl alive or just me
sure, psyker can cover a lot of bases well
i guess there are like broad situations
- hordes
- ranged
- dps tank enemies (ragers)
- tanks
- bosses
but why bring two flamers/purges?
do you enjoy playing with two plasma vets?
what the hell are you even on about?
If you fail a run and you blame your teammates cuz theyre not doing their "role"
๐
Two purgs can reach max warpfire stacks
"role" doesn't mean "only does one thing and nothing else"
yeah, there are all-rounder builds that can fill most any role, but at that point it's more about adjusting playstyle
it means "bringing gear that is best at one common situation"
and you bring multiple gear that is best for different roles
Either way, i think at the highest level of play surge is good
and when everybody has gear that overlaps in different roles, you have a solid team that can handle everything with ease
Maybe at heresy it's outperformed
and I strongly disagree with this
Also, what is high hersey+, I want an answer to that too.
But it definitely performs well in a5 maels and histg
psyker is the only class that has a defensive niche in abilities
when comparing what you could be bringing instead of surge
Heresy obv lol
well, i guess vet too. but 50 toughness isn't bubble shield
Otherwise he wouldve said 5s
"high heresy" would be histg heresy or damnation and up
only someone doesn't play enough heresy and damnation would assume that heresy is automatically easier than damnation
ai director is still bugged with special/elite spawns in heresy
Only someone who doesn't play 99% auric damns/maels would say high heresy+ lmao.
I love maelstroms, I only play aurics with my group
Nothing wrong with playing heresy tbh
I only PUG heresy if I'm feeling masochistic
Some of my smoothest aurics have been 3 different vets and a smite psyker
But you cant be serious lololol
My entire arugment was about surge's effectiveness in pubs in auric t5s and maels and you argued with me because?
Breh
Now I feel dumb.
because surge isn't some all-around do-everything option
Who cares if it is or not
agreed, is not as good as it used to be
because surge staff objectively isn't amazing
I think its a good weapon
great, you like it
And i play pug a5s
I havent used surge recently, but if it stuns like smite then it's objectively busted
The biggest issue with Heresy and the only reason anyone would think it's harder than Damnation+ is because 90% of heresy pubs are full of morons and wannabe sweats
I like it enough to use it for funsies, but never when try-harding
I already said I wouldn't use surge in a skilled premade
Right
it objectively is inferior to other staff options
Pub auric (pubic) maelstrom
only if you crit the bigger guys, and that 1 target vs aoe
Its probably harder
Yes. Who is arguing otherwise?
Cuz teammates are shit
surge used to be great, when it was bugged with EP
it used to be great CC, pre patch 13
I've seen 21 death heresy runs
Ooo, the reddit/steam boards take
sensible chuckle
Wdym it used to be great
It was straight up broken LOL
Heresy is where the skill issues go to play
nah, it wasn't straight up broken
It one shot every enemy in the game
it was straight up good
And 2 shot crushers
Like it should
Ok yeah I'm done
I was literally doing my entire team's damage the one time I used EP bugged surge. If you think it wasn't beyond broken, you are just bad at the game.
i just want smite to trigger true aim again and i'll be happy
.
I loved that.
If I am dedicating my ranged slot to a weapon that can only ever affect 2 or 4 enemies at a time, it better kill those 2 or 4
and in a game where a vet with plasma can one-shot 4 crushers in a single pull, where is surge killing a crusher in two shots OP?
ffs, have some goddamn perspective
There was a reason and it's becasue that's not what the node was supposed to do
That's like fatshark's thing though
plasma takes aim tho... surge doesn't
Give surge some new blessings that do cool shit like that
actually, surge can take aim
it'll try to hit what you're aiming at as primary target
I want surge to be an actual lightning bolt
lets you pick elites/specials out of a crowd
No ticks, just BOOM LIGHTNING
I wouldn't mind surge changing to an insta-hit lightning bolt
at least it'd be different from smite
Oneshot everything that it touches, but it can't touch a lot at once
idea - lightning strike on what you're aiming at, which then has a dot effect that causes it to tick smaller lightning strikes to nearby enemies
you could do so many cool things with surge instead of making it the Wish.com version of smite
people seem to equate "I really like using X" with "X is objectively amazing!!1"
call it Lightning Rod
like there aren't opportunity costs with the choices you make for the team/run
I feel this in every game
but no, god forbid somebody call them out on their bullshit
"waah, you just to like argue"
I play monster hunter and I have mained gunlance for 12 years. I say I like gunlance and everyone says "Gunlance sucks, worst dps weapon."
Bitch, I never said it was good
I couldn't get into MH
didn't like getting locked into animations when attacking
entire time I played through MH, I was fighting the animation system
You are arguing meta while being a non-meta player, what else does that mean?
It's weird because almost everyone I know who plays MH didn't like it at first, but something clicks the second time they try
understandable
the combat just made me miss playing Elden Ring
lol, still waiting for the dlc myself
that and the suuuper sus high-end costumes
wdym
I'm not a fan of anima/manga fan service to begin with
it felt like every female armor visual was just there for fan service
incredibly creepy
That's something all MH fans hate too
the male armor since World has been baller, but the female armor is all catgirls and thigh candy
if I wanted to dress up a barbie doll as a stripper, .... I still wouldn't.
Pre-world, everyone played female hunters because the male armor didn't look good when mixed
ok yeah, I played through MH:World
Imagine the meta for a dude being assless chaps + bright pink dunce cap
have the DLC, but couldn't push myself to keep playing
ever since transmog everyone plays male characters
my son and some friends tried talking me into sticking with MH:W post-story, but I just couldn't
I dislike world because the main game locked me into cutscenes and scripted fights that I could play with friends until afterwards
I recall playing the main story all the way through co-op
Yeah, but you have to hit a timer mark or watch some cutscene to start the co-op
okay
Every other game, you can just hop in from the lobby with the boys
yeah, there were cutscenes at the base camp
In Rise, it was a far as "Here's a haiku about the monster, now go kill it"
usually accompanied with the monster trying to genocide the local cat population
I guess I'm just an atypical anima/manga enjoyer - I really dislike fan service bs
as soon as a show or book does any kind of panty shot or obvious fan service crap, I drop it
I love fanservice ;-;
that tracks
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU DERPYSLURPEE
Fan service is wte, I just kinda skim over it and move on
I hate power trip anime tho
overlord is just
dies of cringe
That's even worse than fan service imo
Overlord is funny with the cringe tho
I actually really enjoyed the Overlord manga
I loathe the typical isekai, with its usual harem bs
I enjoyed the twist in protagonist
I hate the shows like Arifureta and most "I died and became super op and women jump on me now" isekais
First season overlord back when it first dropped was pretty great, no?
Which was unique at the time I believe.
yeah, it's just harem smut wrapped in isekai
season 2 was better imo
every time its just "wow I wonder how he's gonna dominate on these lesser nations"
It didn't age well because everyone copied it
idk I just never liked it
tbf I read fucking rom coms as my preferred manga genre so
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I like how he's not actually evil, but needs to convince his underlings that he is
Based.
Rom coms are the shit
"convince" is a strong word
what I liked about Overlord wasn't the OP nature of the protagonist, but instead how the world reacted to the actions of the underlings and how the protagonist had to navigate that
he says whatever bullshit he wants and his underlings just suck his dick and interpret it however they want
this is it
Yeah that's the fun part.
Ains interacting with his world and the world responding is interesting
Rom coms scratch that itch for me tho
Rom coms comfort me, but I'd never let anyone I know irl know
but I don't like the instant "every female falls for him" stupidity
love-sick teenage behavior is off-putting
Not harem, rom com
I don't care for rom coms, either
I liked Chuunibyo
I avoid "slice of life" media
cringy, but kinda sweet
Overlord is basically slice of life?
I wouldn't classify Overlord as "slice of life"
Cowboy Beebop is the shit
He do be slicing lives tho
and in some really badass ways, too
with Overlord, the OP nature of the protag isn't the point
I mean the main character is so blatantly OP that no conflict really matters. Instead you are watching the daily life of the people related to him ๐คทโโ๏ธ
it's how the OP stuff is used to influence the world around him
That's slicey of lifey
This means that Berserk is a Slice of Life by these standards fyi
yeah, Berserk is super quality until the last 20 chapters or so
and definitely not slice-of-life
and Theme of Guts, banished to the recesses of my mind, has come to the fore once again
just like that
I read hotcake. ๐ฅฒ
you could make some weird ass like
mm, flapjack
zealot psykers
Berserk was formative material for the first half of its run
zykers
Imagine a zealot with psyker powers
amazing dark fantasy
i actually made this a build
I LOVE THE EMPEROR I TALK TO HIM ALL THE TIME
one punch man is on my list of great works
Season one is the only good season imo
it uses bubble shield
brain burst and void
deimos or illisi it doesnt really matter
what's it spec'd into?
because it revels in its own silliness
oh lag lol
and both have to have crit modifiers
Okay, now one punch, that's definitely slice of life, I won't be moved.
basically you want to do constant crits
OPM is... kinda slice-of-life
I love that Saitama is so op his greatest struggles are getting to the store before the good deals end
i use the one that adds more crit chance on hit and scales with peril amount
one punch stan
that's a big part of the charm - he's so super OP, and yet he still struggles with the daily life stuff in hilarious ways
all I can say is that my then 15 yr old brain thought konosuba was a masterpiece
Ultra instinct normal mosquito is great
oh, Steamboy was amazing
OP motherfuckers in slice of life situations is one of my favorite tropes
I'm looking through old anime DVDs I have
It's one of the things that made the early marvel movies better.
Princess Mononoke
we all make mistakes
wdym konosuba still is a masterpiece
season 3 is coming apparently
it's been a really long time since I watched anime that was instantly in line with some of the older classics
dunno if it's that I got older or if the overall target audience changed or what
Vinland Saga is pretty good.
I think the last anime I watched was eighty-six?
I was planning on watching that idol anime but never got around to it
what is it called again?
oh, I absolutely hate anything revolving around idol worship
Thing are for sure changing outside of viewers / audiences aging.
and not the religious meaning
oooooh, Jinroh was so good
of course, the classic Ninja Scroll (not really for a younger audience)
It really isn't. My dad let me rent the tape as a kid because he didn't realize what its content was. ๐ oops
yeah, I almost made the same mistake when my kids were a little too young
that one scene is ... very, uh... "informative" as well as "formative"
I enjoy shows with deeper themes
YUP
I have, somewhere in a box or plastic bin, a complete set of english-version Battle Angel Alita books
Gunnm in Japan
I actually didn't mind the most recent movie attempt at it
it really seems like, over the last 20 years, Japanese media has shifted from a forward-looking futurism to a past-looking fantasy preference
a real shame
I can be ur angle or ure devel
missed opportunity for "bevel"
What is a bevel
Smooth edge
Like a smooth round over.
it's an angled cut between two surfaces to create a third between them with lessened angles of contact
I have bevel brain
yeah can also be angled.
Depends on context. Like in woodworking, bevels can be rounded or angular. Basically not 90 degrees.
man, it's a real shame that the armory exchange browser plugin doesn't mark for me which blessings I don't have yet
there you go
Very cool to make pieces a bit less edged
The sticker that came with my new mouse is very sticky. I will enjoy sticking it to myself until it gives up.
Did you also buy a mouse on cyber monday?
or cyber week as they usually have
or black friday week
I bought it a few days ago and got it today.
:c
The "sale" has been the same.
what mouse did you get?
That do be how it is ๐ฆ
Logitech G502 Hero. The wired verson of the lightspeed.
Too much WoW nostalgia attached to Razor for me
I remember Razor sponsoring random WoW creators who did like complimations lmao
Youtube was so different back then
I hope this one lasts too. The things are cruddier now, it's great when they actually last.
My only issue with my last hero was that the bottom thingies clumped up dust really fast.
to be clear, "last hero" because I switched to wireless not cause it broke.
I feel you on that. I had the g402 and those feet things would def grab dust and hair.
I can map entire games' worth of keybinds to just the mouse
any games I should buy
I love the idea of many thumb buttons
before the steam summer sale ends
Dragon's Dogma Dark arisen
I was thinking about buying that visual novel that showed up
lethal company is fun
i love how vet chat is talking more about psykers than psyker chat rn
Remnan 2 
i have remnant 2 as well
i love how vet how psyker more love about love and stuff then
bread and fred is an adorable rager. if you have someone to play with, that's best.
Even "better" if that friend has bad timing and is easily distracted.
I don't have all the achievements cause I'm lazy and cause I grinded hardcore a bunch
myeh I just backup saves
I mean I was doing hardcore for fun, so that kind of defeats the purpose
I don't have fun doing hardcore but some of the items I needed so myeh
also I'd recommend backing up saves even if you don't just because crashes n bullshit can happen
Renamnt
I have the original remnant tho
Yes, back up saves
There you go
The only thing I beat is my m-
I have hundreds of hours in just remnant survival mode
It's unironically my favorite rogue-like
Catherine is $5 usd right now. Def worth
ew, visual novels
I don't have the patience to read something that slowly.
Give me give me hearing novels
I want that William The Foe guy reading novels to me
do you mean Willem Dafoe?
crab champions is on sale 
Valheim?
wtf is that
Like risk of rain 2, but crabs and honestly more fun
eh I only play ror2 with friends
It's made by the same guy who made crab rave funningly enough
Journey and Abzu for chill games.
Gunfire reborn
The warhammer 40k ARPG is on a huge sale atm
I had a lot of fun playing that
Martyr I think it's called
It would be a disorganized mess if a bunch of us had a valheim server.
I just like any game that does magic well
This sticker is dying.
have that
roboquest is basically the same as Gunfire reborn if you liked it
A game I don't recommend is stranded deep. I got it for free and I want my money back. ๐
Melvor Idle, kind of out of left field. If you need an idle game for stuff.
I'd like a viscera cleanup style game set in the darktide maps.
40k DLC for powerwash simulator lmao
yes please
sci-fi type clean up isn't a bad idea in general actually
there's already a game where you cleanup on a space station after the hero has gone through and killed everything
well
Oh wow that's 8 years old, didn't know they were already making games like that so long ago
ran out of plasteel as ever, so brb
Thanks for the rec 
I definitely wouldn't dumpstat damage
Roboquest is a banger soundtrack with a cool game stapled onto it
everything old becomes new again
