If shoot crit, shoot two crits (second bolt is fired like 0.1s after the first)

you larp a broadside battlesuit basically
Oooo that looks like it would synergize well with the warp Nexus
Right well I already have this staff with warp nexus
and it has some pretty good stats short of the charge time

Dang, all the good rolls everyone seem to get except me 😂
Don't worry my RNG in other games is dead as f
I'd probably upgrade the blue one above to see what you get, otherwise yeah swapping flurry for surge would be spicy
Charge rate is too low.
I’d upgrade the surge staff you rolled and put warp nexus on that until you roll something better tbh
It’s not god tier but it’s certainly good enough for the vast majority of the game
it's pretty close to a godroll
I mean the more i play the more i feel like everything works in auric damnation provided you're not shit at the game


yeah if it's not outright shit it's workable
buuut good weapons just make it much more of a power fantasy
Most of my gear has really weird blessings but it doesn’t matter because I got them moves like jagger
Yeah idk I’ve seen you play and that’s bs 😂
It's 85% my gears. 
I just press random buttons.
FartShart I beg you please give me blazing spirits t4 on trauma. 
I want horizontal trauma
cone of push
Double push
F to push one
rmb to push one
I have a question that isnt in the guide! ✋
For the penance 'Prioritise targets' you have to kill 200 elite or specialist enemies with BB. But after i switched to assail, the number still seems to be going up. Is that from a party member using BB? Or is there some strange situation where Assail can proc it too? Because it cant be every elite/special assail kill otherwise i would be going up much faster i think.
Oh ye going for that one. BB goes brr
*on a not trash staff 😭
I got a second sniper resist blessing on my curios recently and blessed thing has already saved me twice. Of course obesefish has already compensated for that by instructing the pogryn to yeet me off a ledge and having a teammate blast a barrel which blasted a nearby burster I was about to shove which sent me off another ledge
benny hill moment
The Warp gives it's mightiest minds it's wackiest rides
I also did an auric maelstrom yesterday where a stealth trapper snatched me as a I jumped off an area transition so I was downed but then the greatest veteran in the history of veterans maybe ever happened to have the voc res perk so he got me up from below the area transition and then I killed the trapper and hopped down. I have never felt so blessed
the one time voc res did good work
Not sure about the mind but I sure have a lot of strength thanks to all this ignorance 😂
I too run 2 sniper resist. I used to run 3 but dropped to 2. Still left me with over 1 bar after getting shot.
just shrugging off a sniper shot is so nice 😂 especially when you’ve got like six beams all glowing and need to get stuck in
i wish there was a "sniper attract" perk on curios
that way i could pretend i was at a rave in histg
or sniper gauntlet, rather
still pretty workable
Hey, not bad tbh.
yeah swap sustained fire and a perk out and you're sorted
Every time I queue into maelstrom I end up wondering
"how are these other guys playing maelstrom"
surge or wexus?
Sustained fire to warp nexus for sure
Yesterday was rough for me…
Up to you if you wan to replace flurry with surge
ye was thinking that
this is my boomstick
outta dockets
yummy surge blessing
true
I’m not a big surge fan myself. Typically void kills everything anyways, so it’s only useful against a small list of enemies. Though, they are big enemies so it has merit
had a lot of those moments last night
me & an ogryn cooked a chaos spawn in a corner
it was doing funny numbers to it
hab dreyko investigation, still doing first servo skull, and for some reason we have 1 person on the other side of the hab and another on the third floor already
i've never been so confused
went nexus/flurry crpc 4/crch 3
feel like 5% on armour targets is more than 1% more crit chance
me neither I just wanted to build one
Is there any situation where a chainsword might be a good pick for psyker compared to duelling sword?
which one? HM?
neither
Right
a bit yes, but it also covered in golden carvings too
may be if i will find white-ish pants later on
i can balance it out
I bought that
because it matches very well with the white and gold recolor of the psyker penance set
the snow outfit is too pure white, doesn't match with that fabric
Fashiontide is the real end-game
siblings, some new unit dropped
is this real?
Btw how do you get your eyes black like that?
I think
there is a special option in the eye settings
am I mistaken or is that Wolfer?
Not wolfer
you can change your eye style at barber
Okay
hard to tell where the left arm/hand is
They seem to have the same helmet as the flak shooters
he is in a run animation i believe :0
maybe an upgraded Rinda?
Could be a new enemy type
more like maulers alternative for existing ones
It's probably something theyre working on
or yeah, it's not actually out yet
goddamn, I am thirsty for new content
shove it into my face already FartShack
fk it i am gona buy that helmet...
I think the idea of a watered down in terms of strength rinda as an elite would be kickass
new update = i will repatch mods again
New update = new jank to worry about
Fartshart
why the fuck do people keep thinking we're gonna get cosmetics that make you look like a fuckin enemy lmao
I mean... there have been a few times when I've spun around and shot at a friendly veteran and ogryn
because in the heat of battle their outline matches an enemy outline
also if I had to guess this might be a mission modifier where a captain spawns as a boss randomly or something since this just looks like a renegade captain
a mission modifier for a random spawn captain would be interesting
I mean they already did it for the karnaks
People were asking for the twins to stay
Also it says "on the prowl" so whatever it is its not waiting for us to come to it
that wording got me moist, ngl
premature excitement, happens to us all from time to time
also, I am very guilty of buying Darktide cosmetics
I am FartShack's target whale
Hello siblings, would anyone be willing to help a fellow psyker to get the Malleus Monstronum Penance? Don't know if I'm at the right place to ask..
generally better to ask in lfg
your best bet is going to be the LFG channels
Ah yes, already set a request out there. I'll just wait patiently then
typically between 5pm and 10pm EST
Apologies for the interruption!
its not against the rules or anything but its less likely youll find someone here
that's when the majority of the community is active
you can also jump into the other chats asking for help in exchange for helping them with their private-only penances
it's best to have a group that understands that the goal is penances, not killing/completions
Good luck me fren.
Hey does the MK IV force sword have a Vanguard attack for its secondary? The gameslantern site says it does but in the YT video i'm watching it doesn't appear to
the fuck even is a secondary action
check in-game
I'm not sure what you mean by vanguard, but the mk4 has a stab as it's 2nd heavy
gameslantern is weird
sometimes
idk here's their video on the deimos maybe that help https://youtu.be/2-k7LIIm4Bo
Force Sword with a focus on single target damage and precision stab attacks. https://darktide.gameslantern.com/weapons/sword-force/deimos-mk-iv-blaze-force-sword
imma assume "secondary" to them means heavy
and no its more of a stabby heavy
deimos is for stabbing, illisi is for slashing
From other lads perspective is purgatus spam blinding? Been a long time since i've seen another psyker using one.
it's aite, and there are mods are make it better
it can be a full-screen fire effect
it's not a big deal if your team is pinging religiously
if not, well, then it can be a problem
main reason you haven't seen too many is probably because it's not that strong
cool, finally bothered to get a good one a build around it. Don't wanna be screwing other peoples games with it though.
play what you want
people overreact tbh
it might not be strong but damn they made that fire so tasty looking
the perfect teal hue for flame
nobody's bitching about zealot flamer and its basically the same shit
its just not as bright
tyty
Because you use purgatus the whole map.
and yeah if it bothers someone so much they can mod that shit out
Flamer only during big mixed horde.
Blue fire is more blinding than orange fire to me also. 
skill issue
ye in terms of color it's the same shit

flamer is quite a bit stronger though
I'm sowwy.
get stronger eyes
this is some heretic bullshit right here
due to chastise existing
that's Bomber propaganda
just get new ones, ezpz
but yeah theres already enough shit that makes you lack information yet people still dont ping enough
I'll go to the local tech priest and ask for a new set of eyes. Cheers.
D:
luckily nobody uses the flamer because it's horrible
for RP reasons?
uh oh, a bad flamer take in psyker chat
the flamer is really good lol
I use it. It definitely needs buffed
terrible flamer takes lul
compared to what?
^
let's do a side by side vs the columnus V
wdym compared to what? it's just a strong weapon
it does its job as an infinite cleave weapon
what more can you ask
why are you comparing it to a single-target weapon
flamer used to be even better than it is now
oh no its this conversation again
what in the world
it's still fun to sling napalm
have you considered that two weapons can fulfill different roles
shhh, this is a smoothbrain conversation
and that single-target damage is not the be-all and end-all, especially when you can supplement it elsewhere
Its slow and extremely clunky and its damage output without blessings is okay at best
right but the flamer's role is bad
I'll take flamer buff.
and it's bad at it
wdym lol
it's role isn't bad, and neither is it bad at it
As a knife + flamer main.
flamer bad lets buff it 
flamer completely destroys mixed hordes
alright, what is its role, and how is it bad at it?
which IMO are some of the biggest threats in the game
trash hordes are like whatever
it takes time for it to ramp up, but it's got infinite cleave and will equally spread burn and deal damage to everything in its cone
I just want a slight handling speed buff and itd be fine
and compared to purgatus, zealot has Chastise
Okay, everyone look at the kitty and simmer your tits
bad psyker chat take acquired
if you get teammates that can't kill snipers/bombers/etc
fox 2
Why? I win every game I'm on flamer.
but it's a super good weapon
i can feel my braincells eroding each time i use purg/flamer so bad weapon
I don't like using purge because it doesn't feel good to use
Its probably not a good or responsible idea but i run flamer with flame nades for double fire
there's nothing visceral about it
What blessings
there are no blessings that chance how purge is used
There are blessings that make it much much better
I didn't say it doesn't kill
Flamer is good for zealot. Purga bad for psyker. 
guys void it bad it doesnt even set enemies on fire without a blessing
I meant to use mainly. Without chained secondary charge its very sluggish
buff fire void
give void infinite cleave please
yeah I am consistently at 300 apm thats why I dont play so much 
was not aware this question would start such a heated debate
Revert assail nerfs and nerf bb
Day...I don't even know anymore of upgrading Illisis so i can get bloodthirsty
Still no Bloodthirsty
It's one of the rarer blessing.
bloodthirsty is only good for memes now
I don't even use my god rolled power sword anymore
Funny thing is, i rolled a Voidstrike with WN and Surge.
voidstrike is so slow to charge it feel like its made for a different game
charging it every three swings isn't fun
I haven't even gotten one Illisi with Bloodthirsty
void's charge time makes it need more cleaving
Yeah it's solid B tier.

mfers still havent realized you can use the staff without full charging
its been over a year
I ran voidstrike for ages before it got overbuffed at which point i became a flame staff psyker.
surge on the otherhand is just autoclick with an occasional F to win
I refuse to run the meta.
Based surge enjoyer.
oh, speaking of which
jokes on you idk what the meta is
@harsh urchin I am formally declaring you correct in our prior disagreement about how to build a surge staff
they should bring back the infinite surge cancel 😔
What's the build?
Maybe my surge staff is trash.
what is that nonsense
25% flak 25% maniac.
you dont remember that?
nope
It's called skills.
dear god i get enough audio glitches with that staff as is
this was back when surge actually didnt do damage too so that was fun
speaking, anybody else get a weird triple tick sound crap with surge regularly?
what was the disagreement again? lol
ohhhh the surge cancelling
i cant even remember
the good ol' days
crit chance vs +elite perks
not only the cancel but the fact it doesnt peril your balls
can't believe they took this away from us 😔
Did peril work differently back then, because the continued spam at 100% peril is what I find questionable.
oh yeah, crit chance is like super not worth except on a few specific builds/weapons
Just queue up a game with purga cos I'm lazy and want to put minimal effort. 
it's the same, but there was a bug where cancelling the surge cast with sprint avoided the suicide animation
if you want minimal effort, you run assail
okay, rude.
Surge is just so comfy to play. For quite some time I play purgatus & void only and I didn't get into surge build until recently, and I find it to be the psyker playstyle with the best QoL. I can finally lay back and relax when playing psyker instead of being in a spin and panic all the time.
I like your pfp. That movie was great
once again proving exercise cures depression
Doesn’t avoiding the suicide animation just mean you instant blow up
now it does generally eah
you neither entered the suicide animation or blew up
you could just continue spamming it with sprint cancelling
fun fact, if you ledge yourself with a headache you just fucking die
so sad
2022… the era of bleed knife zealots and shield ogryns
Oh wait


"era" = 1.5 months
We had a few days or a week of bleed stacking itself and shriek making all targets bleed if you had it on your knife
the fact that i can top entire missions knowingly using a suboptimal build with surge feels a bit wack
still didn't feel as good as the current shriek
or when the blessings that can insta-kill humans could insta-kill anything in the game that wasn't a boss
and yeah bleed self stacking was funny
including your own teammates
yeah
bleed knife players truly were OP
just further proof of how not-ready-for-release the game was on release
the "coming soon" on crafting wasnt a good indicator?
oh, it was
infernus also didn't have a stack cap other than the general 31, so you could run infernus recon + bleed self stacking shriek
I said "further" proof, not "only"
still want 100% on my weapons, 80% feels so euuuugh
yeah, infernus recon at release was nuts
I still enjoy me a little infernus on my lasguns
Not on laspistol imo
I miss when recon las was good smh
and then there was bolter's pinning fire that was nuts
then shredder pistol's pinning fire
then they attempted to fix weapon blessings being active when not the active weapon
but the revolver fell through
I do miss the days of reaching ridiculous amounts of power with some blessings
Someone would always argue that UP was op on FS, but slaughterer gave 75% power vs it's 20%
Now I just use both on my gunker build so now my illisi is nuts with SG active
I swear to god I keep accidentally falling into meta builds
"oh autogun seems fun"
Then I get called a sweat iT HURTS
Thank you
Scrier's Gaze makes me feel like I'm on the emperor's own adderall
Smoking some of the warp dosh
the emperor's special warp stash
Warp Dust you mean?
that Chaos Ganja
Auto gun is meta?
it certainly works with gunpsyker
Columnus IAG is pretty nuts on every class rn
Yeah, columnus is broken
Even poorly rolled like this will do?
More than fine
looks sick
The traitor captains look really cool up close like this, never really got a good look at them in game
The armours are new, no? Seems like they’re teasing a new assassination mission
Anyone else like Speedload on their Columnus?
i think they're teasing that we'll get to have a random chance to get a scab captain in the middle of the mission
much like we got 1 of the twins at random
That’d be pretty cool
This was an issue at NASA at one point, to deal with the invisible fires they were having, they'd carry around wooden brooms and stick them out in front of them, if it burst into flames, they found the fire and they knew they probably shouldn't walk any more forward and call their supervisors
I'm serious
Ah I see!
Bricked?
sadly
This one is a definate invest tho, right?
is surgical 4 really that important?
I'd replace unyielding
with?
flak or maniac
why tho? you want to hit weakspots with this thing no matter
psure maniac and flak both give breakpoints
right, but do you always?
i got this too
with that revolver, you have a flex perk to play with
is chaining BB on bosses the highest DPS?
no
dont think so, shooting with an autogun in scrier's gaze using dumdum is
ah, not running sciers or autogun...
i think i've seen that purg staff does good dps at high stacks but then you switch out
i just know autoguns + scriers melts bosses
Too bad we can’t use trauma and depression to kill bosses with psychic damage 😢
Yep
Flak gives crit body and non crit head
Maniac gives a crit head
Or the other way around idr
I've been having a lot of fun with this, but not sure how to roll it
spamming special attack over and over with a high peril build
blazing spirit is kinda meh since it usually just kills things outright
I thought I saw somewhere that rending gives a reduced bonus +damage to all enemies - is that true?
It only works on armor and non trash yes
ok, found the patch notes. anything that isn't naked/rotting. thanks!
Could do both
Could also do uncanny strike and deflector if you want a more defensive option
he wants to use bloodthirsty
Ah I didn’t scroll up enough to see that
Admittedly I’ve never used bloodthirsty. So is the rotation for this special into H2, or just special H1 spam.
I've never used bloodthirsty because I CAN"T FUCKING ROLL IT. Not that's it's good tho
it used to be the best blessing for the force sword
So guaranteed crit on the second hit seems meh.
used to be 5 seconds of guaranteed crits on special kill
But doesn’t everything in the psykers kit do that?
Smite and assail, void strike, train, purg (except carapace), etc
Having a melee weapon that does the same thing seems, idk like it narrows the build
It's still so rare that I never got the chance to experience that
I’d prefer deflector so you at least have it as a defensive option for non-shield builds.
Deflector is a crutch blessing imo
I tried to get it before the change, but I could not
it's a very rare t4 blessing
Learn how to use cover and you can go without it
not really because having more options simply... gives you more options lol
for example, if you used revolver shots to clear out ragers
and now you don't have a shot for a special
vs if your melee weapon just clears everything
It adds another element that you can work with
We are the Swiss Army knife of classes
Debatable
I run slaughterer+deflector on my force swords
If bloodthirsty was out here adding mutie/crusher one shots then we are talking
Just don't stand in a firing lane
mutants and crushers aren't super threatening tbh
Slaught + UP/Uncanny/Riposte/Precog
Better to shed a little damage on melee for deflector and occasionally whip it out to block your team thru a tunnel of gun than give up shriek for bubble/shield
there are so many good blessings on FS that Deflector is kinda in a weird place for me
I don’t use slaughterer either, but I also don’t use force swords
Deflector is a good blessing 🧠
If those blessings weren't good (like they used to be) then Deflector would be BIS
I don't disagree, but there are better blessings, that's the problem
Deflector is absolutely fine, it’s just less damage for more survivability.
More damage is not strictly better
It’s just a different avenue
I stray away from choices that can be remedied by playing better
right but more damage is always better if you can simply deal with it lol
Also, the ranged invincibility on crit completely nullifies Deflect
the kind of things people say to subtly say "im better than you"
it's not really that
Never said that.
How will I get better if I lean on things that I don't need?
it's just that due to the existence of classes without deflector
It’s not even that. The game has situations where an enemy like a reaper spawns behind you with sight lines on you. Deflector helps
darktide gives you options to dodge ranged
that work on every class
via ogryn, zealot, vet, etc
I was directing my assumption towards the deflection deniers
Kinetic Deflection however... I can't live without that
especially since the blessings are so good
I just don’t entertain the “play better” arguement
I know I agree with you
honestly, kinetic deflection needs to be something all force swords do when the player blocks with one
There is a balance
I'm not an idiot who gets rid of all survivability because I just need to "play better"
is this good or trash? Idk how valuable cleave is on this weapon, as it's all strikedowns
yep
it's all a trade-off
for example, I also take KD on all my builds
because it's too good defensively
but saccing a blessing on a FS
is very hard for me
I tank up as much as needed then I ask "what do I not need?" and usually the answer is stuff like Deflector, Momentum, etc.
Bro, when did Decap get buffed?
so giving up that for a defensive blessing is a very tough choice
cleave isn't super important due to BM
cleave basically doesn't matter
Decap + Bromentum is kinda crazy
decap kinda sucks unfortunately
So I buy this then
cuz it only works on trash
and doesn't help you against the targets you really need the power against
hmm
But you can cleave more since you kill harder, right?
120% fineese is kinda nuts
no bcz i think it already one-shots everything you hit
in the head
and you have BM
BM only works up to three targets
wouldn't doing more damage increase the cleave cap?
yes but we're not using the cleave cap at all
we're ignoring it in favor of BM
and the damage falloff of the 5th target being hit
Idk, last time I tried to use a combat axe it didn't seem to be as op as pre rework
Yeah I'm struggling to think of illisi blessings besides slaughterer that i actually care about
it's less safe now but does more DPS, particularly against bruisers (assuming you can hit the one-shot on them)
Then again, I hate combat axes
Like i wouldn't judge anyone at all for running deflector on illisi you aren't giving that much up
Where are my two handed axes? Where cog axe on Skitarii (where Skitarii?!?!)
It really do be tho
really? lol
not trying to be mean or anything but that's very surprising
because FS probably has the best blessings out of any melee in the game
The strikes that are most likely to lack canny
Idk I do most of my in close killing with blaze trauma so giving up melee damage for good survivability is easy trade
Me jumpin around like a jelly bean on auric mael makin the boom booms 😂
Maybe people who roleplay as blunts care more about the sword
My blessings for Deimos are Uncanny + Deflector, but Illisi is Slaughterer + UP
Counterpoint: MAGIC sword
I like trauma + deimos and surge + illsi as my staff sword combos. If I were gonna do a col IAG with gaze I might go ds4 for the poke of doom tho
But… glowy sword 🤔
My blessings for [REDACTED] is there a third FS?
Yeah, you just need slaughterer to 1-shot into crowds of everything short of elites, i usually whip out staff for elites. Or assail/bb
Illisi with Slaught+UP and SG active is just chewing through hordes
Blaze trauma users like look what they need to reach a fraction of our power
Have fun with your silly boom staff, I actually get kill streak callouts
Plus I use it with my gunker build
Trauma may be the worst killing staff except for surge but it's super easy to get kill steak callouts with it lol
Find poxwalker horde -> two shot all of it -> endless callouts
I only seem to get the callouts on Trauma when I'm in a hallway
otherwise enemies are too spread out from throwing them everywhere
Oh I have a pretty wicked one
Anyway lighting everything on fire and then screeching more fire on them is a lot of fire
I usually pair dueling sword with trauma staff, extremes in opposite directions
And drop shield with that combo because doorways into gunner rooms suck otherwise
Just do deflector Deimos and shriek
You can walk into room, ree, refuse to explain, walk out
CS + Trauma
Duel + Purge
Illisi + Void
Illisi/Duel + Guns
I don't use Surge because it's yucky
Surge is based, stacks peril like a monster and snapshots specials real nice
Also all the crits
I just can't deal with surge, it feels like VS just does the same thing about as well and then does a bunch more
Surge is garbage rng damage with shitty blessings
No unique blessings at all smh
So... you use Surge when you have something else to carry it? At that point it's a glorified peril stick
I use Smite + Shriek for mixed hordes and that's about it. It's so boring
just checking. IS THERE a lacerate tier 4 on dagger?
Yes, you're just unlucky
i was worried it was like burning spirit
lacerate is not super good though
just fyi
So far the only blessing I've seen that doesn't have a T4 variant (if it has variants to begin with) was Blaze Away on Kickback
lots don't.
for some reason BA only goes to T3 on Kickback specifically
run n gun, blaze, flechette, manstopper, focused channeling
im sort of collecting for a zealot and stuff i might make someday
Let me clarify: Some blessings don't have multiple tiers at all. BA on kickback DOES, but not T4
Those all have a single tier, but BA on kickback has 3 tiers, not 4
there's also a few that're 4 only, like bloodthirsty, surge, old powersword
BRO
BA on other weapons: T1 - T4 exist. BA on kickback: T1 - T3
Does anyone know of a bug where the surge staff visual effect looks bad?
I'm getting this out of nowhere
Still trying to find out which one is better as blaze trauma. Just got the high dmg one (has to be after 30 million overall). @plucky flax have you found a difference between 80% dmg or much lower dmg in your play time?
Surge staff audio sounds like a computer locking up and always stresses me out
also BA is 3 only
on all weapons
okay, so I am insane, I have been farming stubbers for months and getting mad for no reason at all
dammit
what are good perks to put on flame staff
He fell for the BA4 meme
Left one is real nice use that. THere's a break point at around 74%~ ish damage.
To 1 shot dreg bruiser without any buff.
With low damage like that to get 1 shot dreg bruiser you would need very high peril, or at least 2 warp charges.
It's a significant breakpoint imo for blaze trauma. As you still want to kill everything inside your epicentre.
Yes look at that left blaze trauma.
Nexus + Flurry
It's nearly as good as mine. 
🙂
I've seen people say Nexus/Flurry + RnG but that's just weird imo
Perks are flak + crit chance / maniac (unyeilding can also work)
Blessings are nexus + flurry
The only time to stray away from those is if you are trying to do something really specific or meme.
??
It's not like the bleed serves any purpose on psyker other than proccing mercy killer
bruh dont use mercy killer, use uncanny. Far better
i dont really see the point of running flesh tearer tho
most of the time you apply bleed faster with lacerate
and it helps with hordes too, no?
lacerate = not hitting heads
Why don't you just kill the dude with the knife? Take Uncanny + Executor or Precog
and given that the knife is a finesse weapon
what you gain in bleed with lacerate, you lose in damage from not hitting heads
Acrotash and Dis are right lacerate sucks
cant it help with hordes tho?
Bleed makes sense on ogryn and zealot
almost got me
hordeclear is a foregone conclusion on knives so i don't bother with it
If you want hore clear on your melee, take a horde clear melee dude
>it’s not actively bad
If you want to meme infinity dodge just go ds5 and look classy doin it
I guess the new knife is okay-ish at horde clear, but requires lots of screen sweeping and can be solved on other classes better
How viable is just using smite for the entire mission?
Damage dealt: 0
Don't do it
Garbage idea, have fun having everyone else hate you for it
You don’t smite forever, you smite for a four count and then everything else falls over
Thats the point
Smiting a horde and then screeching it to death with fire is funny tho
I have no weapons
Get some
I spent all my ordo dockets on swords
Ok well be a troll then
Play on lower difficulties to get some moneys then buy some weapons
Is it truly not viable to just crowd control for the entire session?
tbh tho, you don't need god rolls to do damnation
Everyone else is doing cc AND damage
you are effectively neutering your team by 25%
don't be an ass. If you REALLY want to go weaponless, just do empowered psionics assail
actually lacerate may be the best blessing for stealing bleed damage
What about empowered psionics smite
it's not as good as before, but it's still a better idea
125% of 0 is still 0 damage
Ehh, i'll try it
Why so
he's prob just playing on like malice or something
Have you not been paying attention to the last few minutes
it'll be fine lol
EP Smite builds are good, just not the most broken thing psyker can do
What about EP makes it good on Smite?
If you hit a bunch of enemies it does a lot of damage
the fact that it makes you deal 20ish damage a tick instead of 10?
It is not a lot of damage
Ep smite get out damaged by just about every single thing in the game
it just depends on the density
How much health do you think a poxwalker has?
Been running auric damnation, warp charge for shield spam seems ok but im considering empowered smite
Dont see many assails, just brain burst
idk which one the poxwalker is, but it's like 300
375
yeah sounds right
dealing about 20ish damage a tick to kill a poxwalker is around 4 seconds to kill
groaners are 300 then
yes
Smite without EP doesn't even kill every groaner from 0 - 100% peril
Smite with it just barely kills an entire horde from 0 - 100% peril
4 seconds to kill for an AoE is much better than you are letting on
It does not kill any specials or elites except bombers, it is not for killing things
this is currently being sold by melk. should i buy it? if i do i will be broke
4 seconds is way longer than you realize
Isnt it fine to let others kill too?
yeah it's also not a single player game
Isn't it way better to have 4 people killing things instead of 3?
The second one
Though, it’s so very small.
but don't let that get in the way of all the doom in gloom
its a 380 so im really tempted. but idk if i should or not
Not if the efficiency remains the same, which i believe it does
Belief and truth are not the same
Ehh, i'll change if i start losing
The truth is smite spam is one of the worst ways to play psyker, both from a fun standpoint and a strategy standpoint. If staring at a horde is your idea of fun tho, have fun
Its fun to win
is all the 25% damage perks useless on purgatus staff?
no they all affect soulblaze damage
No, flak and maniac are decent
The spread speed is massively faster and the stun seems a bit quicker on the big bois like crusher
keep in mind, the damage perks are basically "bonus damage to everything you do while holding this thing,"
crits apply 2 stacks of soulblaze, so probably
Yes
It doesn't make the ticks any faster tho, so any faster stunning is a placebo
it's really not worth taking
speaking of soulblaze purgatus staff. brunt has finally after 1.3 million credits wasted gifted me this. what should i change on it
It’s a bit quicker because the spread is so much quicker which means all the crushers get tagged faster
EP is good for BB and Assail. Smite is probably the most likely to save your run, but not if you spam
It’s one of the 3 BIS options for that slot
you have enough crit for all your talents just from blessings + being a psyker
I mean the big time I’m pulling out smite is them oh shit moment
Flak and maniac being the other two
That said I run smite with warp charges
fair enough
Because I want 🔥 🔥 🔥
I run smite on DD and WS
who is telling you it's BiS?
Joe
My brain? But you could also look anywhere
I have bad news
It’s about your brain
We aren’t hitting any kind of crit cap, and while both flak and maniac are good on purg neither hit thresholds that push it to a faster ttk
umm... hmm... how do I say this
Though, 5% more crit on a weapon that tags an entire horde is very impactful
I take the 5% crit but I view the doing of math to be heresy
Flak and crit have always been the purg go tos
the only point of crit on it is to activate talents like ranged immunity, because trash dies instantly and non-trash hits the stack cap pretty fast
5% crit is 5% extra soulblaze for Purgatus
And 5 from the perk for 5 more
I’m seeing a lot of heresy in this fucking chat
Because you’re building a crit build and don’t sacrifice points that you are focusing?
Smite stun is incredibly valuable and yeah you will be trading off some damage but if you run burn shout build you'll still buy your team more than enough space to do their job
Damage aint everything
it's not a crit build lucian
Bosses will fuck you up tho
If you spend whole time smiting you’re a dingus and deserve all the pox walker booty clapping you’ll inevitably receive
and enemies that die die regardless if you crit or not
But smite autokills pox walkers
add that to the fact that you have high base crit
and the 5% perk is pretty much wasted

Tell that to the ones that teleport behind you
Agree to disagree I suppose
fyi I just tested it. I think the breakpoint is different now. for dreg bruiser at no warp charges and charging to 20% you only do 684 dmg out of 688. You need either 1 warp charge or 30% charge to one shot a bruiser with 78% dmg for trauma without unarmored. With 80% dmg you do 687. So, there is no breakpoint for trauma anymore without some kind of dmg buff
Out here taking every crit talent and blessing, but thinks the crit perk is bad. I don’t really know how to defend it against you.
Still, smite's incredibly good.
BB underrated
(Betting it will get nerfed honestly)
Nah
There are so many more busted things you can do
Like gunlugger has infinity health and does absolutely absurd damage
You get punched by pogryn and take like 1 toughness damage
wut lol
Ogryn strong, yes?
it's the same reason finesse builds don't take crit and weakspot on perks
Now if only gunluggers stopped stealing every ammo bag off the face of tertium
But power has a price
that's because most weapons are aiming for breakpoints
dealing with a horde so it doesn't ambush us in the next area where it's a lot harder to deal with them
get spam pinged and accused of stat padding
When I gunlug I only allow myself to burn one full ammo load per major event. Like if my team starts getting downed I obliterate everything around us. Or if a boss shows up I will mag dump twice. Otherwise no shooty 
no lol. that's not why lmao
purgatus doesn't have breakpoints. 5% crit is 5% more soulblaze, the reason to run the staff
even with non breakpoint weapons such as IAG or shredder
Ogryn big brain here!
the 25% perks are just numerically overtuned compared to the weakspot/crit perks
Haha I run into lots of gungryns on Auric Maelstrom that suck up ammo like vacuums, you are appreciated sir
shredder has shit crit damage and the IAGs get free crit from true aim
They'll shoot everything, even chaff
even on vet/zealot
I appreciate when a gungryn knows how and when to conserve ammo
Yeah, but sure is hell is when other people are doing your job and damage at the same time
Not a foregone conclusion with scrier's gaze + flesh tearer
fair enough on shredder, but even on vet/zealot
Most runs get killed because of a lack of CC, rather than a lack of damage
Is 4 whole seconds your idea of automatic?
not to mention it doesn't even kill all the pox walkers
Bruh you just gotta stand there and hit smite
Poxwalkers all die if you hit them w/ lightning
I do agree on this actually
Most runs end because people aren't killing HVT
the way I control the crowd is by making the crowd cease to exist
^ Thats the ideal but I still highly appreciate my smite psykers
I don't die because I got caught in a horde, I die because there's too many bombers, crushers, hounds, etc still alive
nets and fire
This is the way
I can't believe I have to defend smite, but you can CC the specials while killing the horde
those two together end a lotta runs
i wonder... if im gonna use catachan 6 knife with scriers gaze, is it worth running flesh tearer with uncanny or should I go with precognition/executioner instead?
Or sometimes mixed horde
Smite is not for basic ass hordes. It is for the crusher/mauler/rager squads that come to fuck you up
Smite is not bad, you're just using it in a garbage way
If you are running EP Smite it's good against hordes. Like comparable to Purgatus
yeah but the conversation isn't about using smite properly. the conversation is about only using smite the entire game and nothing else.
Smite + Shriek is good for mixed hordes, but the smite only exists in that combo to get your peril up fast
I run smite as utility because I don't like brain burst and assails skill tree is ass, when my scrier's Gaze is on cool down I usually smite if there's a few crushers or maulers about to eat my poor defenseless vet
Yeah don't only use smite. Kill the lone mauler with a melee weapon please
I actually kinda like assail but I hate brain burst, myself
6 stacks of soulblaze kills gunner patrols. Smite doesn't even kill all groaners if your rng is even mildly low
Smite is by far the best choice imo
So yeah, for trauma the breakpoint for a dreg bruiser (without dmg to unarmored) has to take into account you must have one warp charge at around 74%. You cannot kill a dreg bruiser, even with 80% dmg, with one shot at low peril
Hoping brain burst gets buffed to be faster
I'm a bb apologist
I see the rare psyker that gets value out of it, but it does such a niche thing
Id like assail if it's nodes weren't poop from a butt, I like brain burst with warp charges
as anybody but the smite psyker on the team. Stop smiting poxwalkers, just let them walk into my weapons so they die faster please.
There we have it. Smite is utility just like the other blitzes. Not a weapon. Not for damage. For cc and cc alone
For using catachan 6 knife with scriers gaze, is it worth running flesh tearer as your second blessing or should I go with precognition or executioner instead of FT?
Precog
assail has nice nodes on its own
why not executioner?
Executioner is fine too
Bb with empower and two charge drop wall means you can super comfortably no-brain shottie or gunner or rager packs
the only real flaw of the right side that i see is that you have to path into mind in motion when going left from assail and scrier's gaze is the ult along the right branch
I prefer precog
My issue with assail is that after the nerfs id rather just shoot them with my gun or my staff or actually have crowd control
The problem with assail is it stops me from getting Psykinetic's Aura which is WAY more powerful than the perks below assail
is executioner always better for bosses or have i got things twisted? @limber silo
assail is great crowd control
and helps with your ammo economy
combined with warp damage talents, yes
assail's nerfs are overstated
I mean it staggers ragers and maulers
it got a milquetoast nerf to its CD and damage
and it still has 10 max shards to burn through
gunker moment ✊
its ammo economy still needs to be shot in its knees
I like precog because I am always dodging, so basically 60% finesse 100% of the time, which means my strikes do way more damage always
you gotta build executioner
true...
When they nerfed the CD, most psykers weren't even running Quick Shards anyway
Just melee the horde
If it didn't lock me out of Psykinetic's aura I'd still use it don't get me wrong I just like smite as a panic button
do you always heavy attack spam in the head or sometimes light attack while u have precog active?
Depends on the knife
its not just for hordes, very useful for ragers too
howd u play with knife 6
Gunker gang
Just melee the ragers, nothing will go wrong
Heavy spam
hm
or push attack spam
does it have better heavies than knife 3?
it's decent
is it me or is the newer knife just kinda shite?
It's just a little funky
just you
skissue probably
Single target vs, sweeping heavies pick one
The new knife has push attack for single target, like the old one, but also better AoE
For Staffs, what has a better primary fire Void Strike or Trauma? Or are they the same?
same
Same
thanks

if you are running the Surge blessing on Void, it affects primary
It's at 22% for me on my 80% damage staff.
You running anticipation?
no I can't with seer's presence
would u if u ran crit aura?
I would, but seer's is better imo
malefic momentum tho
don't like it
i guess u still have a point to spare for it tbh
I run knife with purge when I do
Knife seems cool but I reaaaallyyy like dueling sword
Sidestepping a mutant just as it passes you and weakspot heavy killing it chef's kiss
no need to sidestep with DS 
That's I don't usually run knife at all
Better safe than sorry with server jank
In my experience with pve games
If you were to, tho, do you run flak damage on ur knife?
I have 65% finesse on my knife, so i run flak and maniac to one shot stalkers and flamers
so you wouldnt run unyielding under any circumstance for knife?
I wouldn't because I want those breakpoints
I just use purge for boss damage
Question for you guys, Disrupt Destiny's Cruel Fortune talent in the keystone gives you two additional stacks of disrupt destiny on weakspot kills. Does this work at all with the surge staff? I think I heard that the surge staff could no longer hit weakspots on the charge attack now.
First we gotta hunt down someone who actually uses SS and DD
it does not work with weapons that don't hit weakspots
darn shame
if you have assail or a knife/duelling sword, then killing enemies with weakspots to get stacks is ezpz
yeah I that should work. Assail already goes for head head basically...
ye, even moreso if you aim
BRUNT WTF..... 
I'd kill you for that
uh uh, ya dont know yet 😉
god tier
hope hadron blesses you
mhm
just need some plasteel is all
ima poor fugger
makin ends meet to feed my plasteel craving family
every day i wake up i have 28 plasteel
My cat trolled me pretty good. I play mouse and keyboard, but I left my controller plugged in. He walked over and stepped on the joy sticks mid match. My camera was a spinning. 😵💫
Luckily a trapper caught me and safely tucked me away until everything was sorted.
All cats belong to tzeentch
Carry much for these guys with the blaze trauma?
Pro tip: don't play columnus gunker and dump all your ammo into the first few hordes then die several times because you can't survive in melee for 5 seconds
just quickplay things
normal quickplay damnation is harder than auric damnation solely because the teammates in normal damn are clueless
Mine was from auric 
Instructions uncleared. I died.
Out of ammo got me.
do most gun psykers run assail or smite? cuz assail shreds everything not in carapace, i feel like that alone is enough to carry you for horde clear
assail always
ah ok cool
i run smite because it has better croud control
its worth it cause it can stagger and kill mixed hordes decently and helps you keep ammo consumption down by 50%
smite can be argued if youre running revolver tbh
so the former
