but 1 shotting gunners on damn sounds crazy with 10 instant casts
it locks on and isnt afffected by stun or suppression
ye but they are slower so keep that in mind
This is a good point
yeah with a deflector force sword sounds like it could be good
thanks i may reconsider my "assail is hot trash" stance
you will if you use it
its kind of imperative to run if you want to be optimal as a gunpsyker
i used it when i was first levelling psyker
but that was on lower difficulties and it just felt OP
or actually, just crushers
yeah i was thinking run it with a deimos
u can shoot flak maulers in body for big dmg with gun
did you know you can knock down crushers in 2 hits with deimos?
yup hehe its funny
actually dumb
idk kinda makes sense since deimos is objectively worse than DS4 in every other way
good for it to have a leg up
on crushers at least
theres also a duelling sword that lets you 1-2 combo the flak ragers with no perks or blessings
cant remember which one
mk 4, mk 4 and mk 4
ahhh fair then yeah
To be specific I use right click on boss while teammate kites it
mk4 moment
is it the swishier one?
its a while since i used them
i like the one that comboes L1-H2 against armour
looks like youre casting a spell
I'd suggest you learn to melee bosses
very class appropriate
iirc the boss damage output of most staves is pretty underwhelming
Voidstrike vs Traumaforce, whats the diff?
bar a few
voidstrike shoots bowliong balls
trauma makes an exploding circle on the ground
trauma is worse IMO because it throws everything around
thats exactly why it fucking rules
makes it hard for your team to actually kill stuff when its all over the floor on half hp
its good cc
but we have smite for that
skill issue
stuff on the ground is stuff not killing you
and is stuff you have a free reign to kill
also knocking hordes off edges
it stuns bulwarks good
immediately filling your toughness and quelling all your peril
you are seriously underestimating the damage potential of the trauma. If you run blaze + nexus you will easily be getting the highest amount of dps for the least amount of work. This is true
Especially if you run perilous combustion with it
yeah but your team will also hate it and it makes it a visual slog
when again you could just run voidstrike
idk man my friends love it when I nuke the entire map
and delete everything
voidstrike seems to kill everything much faster
try it
it does slightly faster but it does so in a far more risky manner most of the time and is generally more situational compared to trauma which can do literally everything
People regularly reach 800k+ damage using blaze nexus trauma
the only better thing about trauma is shooting it at your feet to autowin in situations you should otherwise lose, IMO
i think its purely a tastes thing
speaking of which
?
i survived a solo situation i never should have thanks to catachan 4 and 2 + 3 stam curios on my zealot yesterday
just by spamming parry into the mass on my screen until everything was dead
if you survived it then you should have
purgatus is more easymode than trauma
true
LMB staggers everything
yeah ive heard you can do meme builds with run and gun on purgatus
not tried it myself
i kinda put my limit on trauma, purgatus is more braindead to use than smite xD
I'm due to change things up and try something new tbh. Assail + Voidstrike + Deimos sword is feeling a touch stale
is there any use to the surge blessing on trauma staff?
Hey all, I've been working on an assail build with a voidstrike staff and illisi.
It does a really good job of tanking due to all the regen and extra toughness. I've had success with it in Damnation, and I am interested in feedback if possible.
I'd grab Perilous Combustion instead of battle meditation 
Dont really need EP for assail so you could do warp siphon instead
EP makes a pretty huge impact on assail
That would also change up his gameplay style quite a bit
For assail
nvm then
It feels like a horde clear to me and thats how its always been.
Not sure if this is the right place at all, but does anyone have voice clips of a character with that rebreather from the giulius thrice blessed set? Been trying to find one for ages
It's pretty mid at horde clear without EP, plus it can't handle shotgunner and gunner groups as well.
Does depend on difficulty, mostly speaking from auric t5/mael's perspective.
I liked it for my gunker. Handles the trash that i needed clear. some specials die in the process but its still really strong
I did use WS a bit, but it's a lot of tax to get to the good nodes at the bottom. I lost out on a lot of toughness regeneration nodes IIRC getting down there. I felt the CD reduction to shield hasn't been needed due to horde clear with illisi + assail
This is a good suggestion. I ran it a few games, but I didn't really feel like I noticed an impact with it in regular Damnation. Auric stuff it becomes incredibly strong, but I think you make a good suggestion. 2 extra +15 toughness nodes is likely health overkill anyways.
PC is better the tougher things are. So like sometimes it won't matter, but it'll matter when it matters.
"It'll matter when it matters" makes absolute sense with that ability lol
When you get 6 packs of shotgunners, ragers, whatever... PC just sort of smokes em. It does less on lower difficulties.
please my beloved roll well
I noticed EP on elite kill right away after switching to it. Maybe I just didn't realize how much it was helping me refresh my shards when mowing through a large pack.
It's going back in the build!
May hadron have mercy
Terrifying barrage to WN (the crit one?) And sprint to crit chance or flack and it'll slap.
warp nexus is the crit one yeah
yes
That staff is nearly identical to one of mine and it's fantastic. I like the combination more than the charge rate because everything becomes staggered and dies.
I'm also pretty sure SB does more damage due to carapace also.
ive just been using a purg build lately, very fun
perks on the currently held weapon apply to DoTs yeah, but in this case you have no source of rending, you will not see a great gain to soulblaze's pititul 10% damage to carapace
TIL. Thanks!
from melk today. worth it or pass?
Ehhhh not bad, but I'd pass personally
thx
At least it knocks em down for a quick ds4 poking 

death
psykers be like
Does the surge staff still benefit from the Surge perks? Not EP.
If you mean smite modifiers benefiting the surge staff, no. Neither smite nor EP benefits surge staff now.
gonna use this as a 2nd staff for cc
regarding suppression
but wut would i replace?
cara and infested with flak and maniac?
Cars to flak, and teffifrying to what's its face blessing
Terrifying barrage does nothing
really? doesnt it help suppress enemies?
The suppression that you feel is normal suppression
which is this
i suppose
Longer reach = more kills 
what would i replace tb for?
this is my other one
but it already been reworked
and was before i learned of "meta"
what does the blessing do?
actually
kk
Plus the infested perk goes well with walkers
Since that's the time you use the flamer anyways
On the horde that is
should i eat this to get warp flurry 4?
I dont recommend it, since it's rare to get a good staff like that
kk

So gl with the hunt for warp nexus t4 
Don't regret melting good stat weapons like me
We were making meme builds yesterday, for "Worst Psyker build". I feel like you could slot this in 
Does Blazing spirit only go up to 3?
Yeah, blazing spirit on void and trauma only goes up to 3
For force swords it's up to 4
Quite a number of people have blown extensive resources trying to get blazing spirit 4 on Trauma when it didn't actually exist. It's rough.
Just go on the mission with the control room last event and push them off from the window
that's the exact mission i got this on 😭
told the randos in the lobby but one of them was too trigger happy to leave me much to push
i did some googlin and Chasm Logistratum has an easy spot for this penance
i'm boutta queue that mission up in a minute to give it a go
Hmm, smite push might work for this
the pipe on hab dreyko was where I got it
After trying and failing to use the smelter end area for this
with damage on shriek you can do it almost anywhere
What are we looking at here?
A meme or contemplation of buying it?
re bless Blazing spirit?
If you want to keep rending, switch CRIT perk to cara/flak or swap rending to blaze
Rending to blaze and it's a solid blaze trauma 
You might also consider switching the 5% crit to flak even if you go blaz, just depends on your playstyle. Psyker has a lot of crit options + warp nexus, 5% crit perk just isn't too impactful.
Do remember that rending shockwave helps the team do DMG to armoured 
whats the soul blaze trama skill tree look like?
if some psyker is gonna grief the game by throwing everything around and not killing it
You help them by killing 
they better at least make it brittle
Good ol' warp charges 
do you think focussed channeling is needed on a purgatus that already has WN or you think theres a better second blessing?
Purga has 5 blessings
NGL, using trauma without healthbars, kind of bad manners.
WN and WF are the only thing that buffs
Nexus and flurry are basically the only two options
Is this one still possible to do?
The olde cooldown reduction talent is gonezo
Focus is just eh
so flurry is good but focussed can be good too right?
There's two cooldown talents now?
i did it the other day
Easier than ever
do it with EP
3 EP charges and just delete a group of shotgunners or whatever
i dont find i get staggered often with purg as it staggers so well itself
but i feel like flurry wont really do much either
so you saidtheres 5 choices, whats the last one?
Run n gun, terrible barrage, The buggy interrupt one.
There's pretty much no reason to use anything other than flurry/nexus.
Well
I heard a claim run-n-gun increases base damage, but I think I was getting one-guyed.
Is it worth it?
i like to spam left click on stuff when im moving fast
I mean the stats are good, but that's not a very useful gun on psyker
on vet that would be a god roll
sad list
Terrifying barrage would be amazing on purg if it actually did exactly what the tooltip said
Sadly it's just terrible barrage
so i mean i already spam left click when im moving quickly to relocate
Which melee do you use?
is it really worth spending a blessing so it doesnt interrupt my sprint for 0.1 sec?
deimos with purg
But have you tried gunker?
i have a build for it but havent found a gun i like for it
but how do you deal with carapce and stuff?
that works
so just shoot the trash with the columnus then clean up elites with the deimos
why would it be beter or more efficient than a purg build in that case?
It does have good boss DMG
just, different?
Assail
The 5 non warp kills + assail
Just kills horde
Quick swap between stacks
Also you get to shoot alot 
Linked the wrong one, here is the gunker
#psyker-class message
i am jealous of that deimos.
does it 1 shot mutants?
Oh yea
and by 1 shot, the light - heavy 1-2 is acceptable
The heavy stab one shots
yeah you can 1-2 it as you dode and both will hit the weakspot so its not like, a requirement
but yeah precisely
with 1 stack it dies
Just l1 nothing and line up heavy
without any stacks it leaves 39 hp
I think it does one shot on 5 stack
I can't remember
Never really paid attention to light stab
For mutants
as you say with a good enough roll it will 1 shot without the lioght stab connecting
so there is no need to
but they can all do it i think with the 1-2
I usually shoot the mutants, since it's a gunker only alt 
The trauma staff was the main psyker build
Scriers does alot of DMG lifting
Just need to learn to keeping an eye on peril while quick swapping
in brunts for 18k dockets, good staff or bad? (I've never used trauma before)
Ignore the unyielding, it's just my own dumb preference
Imagine taking damage
is seer gaze even useful?
Scrier's gaze? Shits amazing
Gunker
pardon?
Gun psyker
Up to you
like i tried rifle
Revolver, colomnus, laspistols
Voidstrike is dumb enough, it does not need more
you are afraid
I am afraid
jej
I've seen what assail does, i dont need bowling balls doing it too
the warp leads to many abilities that many deem unatrual
or what of a blackhole void gernade
or psykers could infuse warp into a gernade at the cost of gernerating 30% peril immediately
for the other classes
I've said before that a lot is theoretically possible, with warp as a concept. it's just translating those theories into something physical, inside the game. that also works in respect to game balance and whatnot
best bomber throw ive seen
I'm interested to know the code behind the bomber throws
beyond just 'throw it where you were at'
Throw to the nearest open floor area near you yeah
No, recons are dogshit in general
shame, seems like good roll at least
Like its bad on vet, think howmuch worse itd be on psyker
If you got the melk bucks, take it
They'll buff it
Eventually

just realised we have not had a nerf for a while ... im getting anxious ... i hope they wont forget us. i can endure more suffering and realisation of how fast everyone else kills compared to me, i really hope for a bit more dev attention and hit me with my monthly psyker nerf fix that i so desperately need. i thank the wise development gods to remove the cannon from the idea of glass cannon and provide me with the challenge to just be glass.
or maybe more ragers is the solution.
Lol, i think everyone at this point know psyker is fucking busted
but i need the nerfs as the masochistic silly psyker that i am - i can not have entertainment without suff... i mean challenge...
Trauma/purg/surge/void too weak please buff 😭😭
no no no buff you dont get it...
Trauma should cover the enitre map
the event boss fight really hit the spot for me ... i feel almost totally useless in the hardmode ... enemies from all sides in addition the lovely ragers sprinkled in between in multiple numbers and snipers too - the pain is euphoric. blessed be slaanesh.
it would not have been as much fun if i was not as squishy as i am as psyker.
thank you so much fatshark - you know just what i need to enjoy the game - darktide is amazing now. better then ever
can soulblaze ticks crit?
Afaik, no
Unless there's some wonky interaction with melee blessings that I dont know of
i think you add more soulblaze on purgatus if it crits? can somebody confirm or correct me on that please?
also how does surge staff interact with weak spots?
not sure if it can hit weakspots the damage is so low anyway on the primary
at least i was never able to see a difference
hm
would be cool if the purgatus just had the standart staff attack.
You gain double the stacks for each crit proc, yes
Purg lmb is a really good stagger/suppression tool, range doesn't matter as much with psyker's blitz options on the table.
all staffs stagger with the primary
i'd rather take the more reliable basic staff attack honestly
depends - i prefer it. have taken out reapers from afar supressing them and supressing gunners from range. its more useful to me.
and i can take out snipers with it too.
its overall more useful
You can have your preferences but purg lmb is not a bad tool. I'd rather each staff have a unique spin to their primaries than have em all standardized if anything
Again, psyker has no issues with snipers with their blitzes
aw now you speak my language sibling 🙂 it can not be allowed to be more effective as a tool for us - just not bad is perfectly fine 🙂
Surge's channel used to be able to do weakpoint damage for a very brief period in history
yeah i feel happy with psyker as it is now 🙂 it is pleasant to recognise my superiors and watch them kill everything in a better way and faster too. that way i can have time to appreciate them more while i humbly praise them for allowing me to go with them on missions and provide exclusively crowd control and the occasional kill if they allow it.
But it was rng since it picked a body part at random and as a result made it overall worse due to varying armor and limb modifiers so they reverted it
after numerous sessions of trial and error, I can safely say as a psyker main that more than 2 psykers in one lobby is too much
often results in a loss
Right now you can only proc it with the projectile attacks
even 2 psykers requires both to be knowing what they are doing or they will end up causing the loss of the group due to the many random factors that can just outright down us.
not being able to manage your own peril is pure skill issue tbh
I based my entire primary psyker build around peril management
lol i hardly explode anymore not talking about that ^^
also, DH aggro radius is way too fucking big
lads, is this new voidstrike worth rolling on?
do you have the one on the left
yes
then no
i want more ragers in missions ... sometimes it just feels to easy with smite - where is the challenge when things work as you expect them to work... honestly i have a hard time sometimes when i get bored and things run so smooth because everyone knows what they are doing. in the back of my head something tells me there is pleasure to be had, but then i quickly just shake it off and hope for more pain and random failure.
61 charge rate is pain tho
ragers are fucking hilariously easy now
yeah totally 🙂 even when they are close like 3 of them or 4 running around the corner
too easy cant have that ^^
1 shotting them or stunning them with like 30 different things, ez pz, boring
The one on the right is pretty good base, voidstrike doesn't benefit from blast radius too much unless you're building blaze void I guess
Exploiting crit deletion
oh you got to teach me that @wide maple how you do that while they are in a horde and gunners shoot at you from afar. 🙂 you are my new hero
And charge rate is abysmal on the void so it's a priority stat
probably far better then me lowly newbe
wdym? 1 shotting them or stunning them?
Crit surge voidstrike on a meme crit build, and chainswords for some reason are stunning them on crits
im not sure if thats a bug with zealot tho
your surge must be amazing - you one shot them on a crit? wow
For one purg stunlocks them by just spamming lmb 
even in a horde? my surge staff clearly sucks
well i probably suck overall then 🙂 but i love the challenge a lot
thank you guys
does it put them into a weird animation?
The chest jiggle?
yeah
Pretty sure that's just for shock and latching melees
so i am right i think we need another nerf - i wonder when it will finally happen.
nah, its been doing it with just crits on my zealots chainsword
as long as they arent in an attack animation both varieties of rager and maulers are getting stunned like that
And I'm not exactly sure whats causing that interaction
If you have a force sword the push attack instantly sweeps ragers off ther feet as well
Has a 10m range to it
singular - rager. not ragers, but the force push is nice indeed
but what am i thinking even trying to correct my superiors. please accept my apologies. since i have difficulties it means i suck and you are amazing
It still useful to break apart packs
i am thinking the way you guys speak humbly you must be even better handling everything as psyker in missions then you let on in the chat here. wow amazing
What blessings are good for the voidstrike staff?
Surge and warp nexus are the ones i use
Surge and warp flurry
Warp nexus is also solid
How much rating for a +3 stam curio guaranteed?
BUT
either blazing spirit or surge and always warp nexus @vital belfry
I use Surge and Transfer Peril myself
Flurry is like slightly more damage in the long run I think
It comes down to giga psyker math
Does transfer peril proc the quell talents?
I mean you can go 100 to 0 with a well placed charge into a horde
Over 75. The +3 stamina curios with a 75 base rating have been bugged forever. No clue if or when it'll be fixed.
that explains why after months i still dont have one i want. well ... actually 3/4 of a year by now ... but i enjoy the itemisation as much as i love the challenge in missions.
Do the +3 stam curios actually give the correct stamina, or is it bugged in a do not use way?
Fuck you brunt
what are differences between staves?
mostly the secondary
Voidstrike does a piercing bolt, trauma does the ground circle explosion, surge does lightning
purgatus is the odd man out with all flamethrower all the time
flamethrower sounds nice .) i am jsut at 14 level, but i dont use staves bcs mainly i am using shards which ocupy my peril
Voidstrike is nice for enemies in a line and at a distance. Trauma is great for clusters, but I felt it didn't reach out far enough. Might have just been the ones I had at the time, I'll have to give trauma staves a try again
Voidstrike imo is the best right now for straight up clearing hordes and specials
Isn't purgatus good with its secondary for hordes?
Dunno I kinda picked up voidstrike and stuck with it
I guess, but I personally loathe flamethrower type weapons
In every game they are either beams of deletion or feel like pissing on the enemy
Yeah its hard to do flamethrowers
speaking of voidstrike, behold how hadron bricked this one
Mmmmmfgh that looks pretty good
Bad perks and blessings
Unfortunately. Warp flurry isnt the worst at least
yeah, but my build relies on crit so not having warp nexus is cringe
Ohhhh
75 blessing +3 stamina curios are bugged.
76+ and 74- are fine
this is the one I'm currently using for comparison
I have yet to see a surge blessing myself
its really really good
It sounds good, but I'm not specced towards crits atm
I apologize but I'm not well versed in these matters. What do you mean by 76+ and 74-?
As in the base rating on the curio
Ohhh okay gotcha
75 base rating stamina curios are bugged and have been for a looooooong time
76+ base rating +3 staminas work fine though
Shoot, I just got a +3 stamina the other day. I'll have to check >_>
Haven't used it yet though
what talents u pick when playing staves?
What talents do you pick when using 4 vastly different weapons? I aint got an answer for ya buddy.
and does reduced peril perks works for everything even staves?
i meant generally, hard to get into game when i knwo nothing xD
Easy to get into intuitively, feels like anything below malice difficulty you can try almost anything lol
What level? Honestly, half the fun is playing around with builds. But I can help ya.
Keep in mind, unlike other weapons, non-high level staves feel kind of bad because they have ratings that affect their charge speed and peril cost
so far 14, and dint touched staves yet bcs i used smited and shards and wanted gun so my peril can cooldown, probably harder with staff
Staves have faster quell spd than abilities, generally speaking 
But that's not a bad way to level.
Try not to use smite too much, you can develop bad habits though.
Yeah with a staff you'll have to take a moment to quell, but personally I enjoy not managing ammo
Plus bullying weak enemies with the staves little bonk can be kinda funny
For guns:
found there perk which increase quell speed so maybe that for staff usage?
and one which dont reduce my speed
I think that perk lets you walk and quell without slowing down much?
Mind in motion is largely unneeded, but some people like it
Its nice if your teammates dont wanna sit still ever lol
I don't think I've ever had pub teammates faster than me lmao
i often find myself behind, but probably bcs i dont knwo maps yet .)
That's learning, I personally recommend t3s until level 25ish, and then try some normal or low int t5s.
Ive had many teammates that will sprint everywhere, and move before things are properly cleared
Yeah, but why keep up with them, it's more funny when the zealot runs off alone and get's trapped. Bonus points if he rages into the mic 
its amazing when they leave u wuth horde and then have to pick u up bcs there were 2 dual axe ragers .)
Oh yeah, had that happen earlier when someone took off lol
skipping heresey?
wat
Heresy is heresy
that's a huge jump
Heresy is heresy
between malice and heresey
You'll find some of the worst players in the game queueing heresy, it's not a positive experience.
If you run a pre-made then go for it
No?
Yes?
I've had some rough experiences im heresy. Less so in damnation. Malice is nice, chill even.
i am at secomd dificulty, will wait for higher level n gear to up the game .)
It's a well-known occurrence my brother. And any 30s queueing heresy.... phew, watch out lmao.
also any tips on melee weapon? so far i am using sword with cleave, force swords sounds nice, but i had problem in vermintide with 1 target weapons xD
Is it worthwhile to pivot from assail to brainburst?
apart from shade with daggers xD that was fun
depends on what you are using
force swords are nice
esp the mk5
illisi
Illy force sword for horde clear, mk4 dueling sword for mutants, and for crushers and other elites.
Currently got a voidstrike staff and deimos sword. Open to changing things up
uh bb wouldn't change much
I like that the force swords can hit hard
a lot of each classes stuff does
Vet power sword
Zealot heavy evis
Ogryn shovel
Oh, also venting shriek with soulblaze
New ones that is '
That's rlly good with smite
I got a build for that
also just idea, when i use all my shards aka 10x10 peril i get to 100, iwll i go boom or i would have to make another action
I feel like im kinda spread weird. I'll boot my pc real quick and take a screenshot of my stuff
If you throw a shard at 100%, you'll blow up. Reaching 100% doesn't make you blow up.
Smite is the exception to the rule, as you just won't push if you go past 100%.
If youre about to boom venting shriek can be a get out of jail free card
You may like that
idk
OwO
Smite jump is kind of a waste, I'd grab the 4% warp charge on kill or Soulstealer.
No?
lol
each thingie jumps plus 1 more time
If you play anything malice or above you'll hit the cap regardless of the jump
Smite is going to cover the whole map anyways, it's functionally useless unless you are really bad at aiming.
So take the jump
I literally only play auric t5s and auric maels
That's not the purpose?
I have a big pp too your point?
The jumps do, do stuff
lmao
It's an indepth numbers thing I think
do some funny math based on in game code
that was data mined
You brought up malice first?
I don't enjoy smite personally. I stun enemies and my teammates keep going towards the non-stunned ones >_>
That's where it starts to cap out lol?
You use it for cc and to throw them around
Also the jumps make the charge attack better
Like that's how ranges work
Jumps would be useless if they started working in aurics
Why specify the charge attack unless you actually use lmb... lmao
Just listing options dude
lmb is troll
and I don't like to make assumptions
Too many morons
@steep estuary Just try stuff, ask questions, and most importantly have fun
You want perfect timing and if you use assail alot you want PC too.
Oh well, ordo dockets time
It takes courage to not get kinetic deflection and not take warp siphon with fire shriek
Oh, the things both could do
PC?
Perilous combustion, top left
If you are voidstriking 99% of the time, it's usefulness is questionable, but it pairs with assail really well.
Ohh
I've been doing melee a lot more lately since Rinda has been getting up in my face a ton
Kinda getting better at dodging, blocking and slashing lol
Aided quite a handful by kinetic deflection
Yeah, if you are running the bosses, no KD is kinda rough
Didnt realize how good it was, put this together as a 2nd loadout
Perfecting timing, top right, you are missing out on a ton of damage.
I don't wanna change your build too much, so I'd just take the toughness gen out of EP, and the extra point past KD
Why tf is trauma so fucking stingy with giving me any T4 perks. My god, 7 staffs with only one useless T4 perk
You're not looking for blazing spirit, right?
Wdym
Shoudl I go for mettle or Warp Expenditure before PT?
I don't like mettle except for guns, but most people prefer it for voidstrike/assail.
Mostly cause Warp expen isn't that great.
There's no tier 4 blazing spirit on trauma
Yeah 2.5% for 10% generated isnt a phenominal trade
Though you can generate peril pretty quick
No, i was looking for really any T4 perk at this point
Just making sure you wern't another misguided cousin
t4s are super rare outside of melk for me
Hence why I roll two psykers
So wait, if you have a second psyker, what carries between them?
blessings
Oh neat
That's for every class with shared weapons
tehy are only for trauma. Every other staff, i have all their T4 perks for
thanks hadron
So blessings you get on your dagger on psyker work for zealot
Okay I played a high intensity game yesterday with 4 psykers, two with shields, two with smite and me with the surge staff
Its so, so fun
shield never runs out because once one depletes, the other casts
and we have infinite cc
the elites and specials literally couldnt touch anyone
the entire game
My favorite run ever, I still remember from shortly after beta, was a pub where it was 4 psykers each with a different staff.
That sounds pretty awesome
I mean statistically, that had to be a crazy thing, it was so fun cause all the staves synergize so well with each other
it was one of the assassination missions and there were several points to hold out so the bubble shields were even better
there was that point where you had to wait for the elevator after the bridge and no mobs came past 30m of our bubble besides the ones spawning in within the room because all four of us were spamming our staffs down the bridge
it was amazing
Oh yeah... I remember a 4 psyker run I had recently
It was me and 3 guys who just spammed base smite
What should I be looking for in a good voidstrike and deimos anyhow?
Blast radius is the dump for void.
Surge and Nexus would be ideal.
Flurry and Nexus if you can't find surge
Perks, there's lots of options for void, nothing is really BiS like it is for Surge Staff
That works too
I swear my staves are all warp flurry or blazing spirit smh my head
you basically need a god rolled staff for a good blazing trauma
Might just stick with what I got, get the fancy pants, then focus on gear lol
Oh right this thing
Random drop earlier
Surge staffs are really easy to roll if you want something meta with low effort.
Ob force sword has been left behind by the power creep
completely useless
Well shoot
🥹
More ordo dockets ig
could take one of the blessings
Do the blessings go across force swords?
yeah
Blaze trauma + DS4 all day 🙏
staves are the only weapon 'family' that don't share blessings


RNGsus here to smite me
Honestly the amount of gambling it takes to do things is such a pain
I've always wondered if a pay to win system that only uses free currency would be fun.
that's why I don't partake in the crafting system
Definitely has a lot of "EH good enough" moments when getting randomized items
21571 off the shiny armour
Soon I will be the brightest target around
ITS ALL BLAZING SPIRIT III
Trauma calls for you 
Oh you got a nice roll 
Flak is meta
By far, like so far that anything other than Flak is an objectively bad decision
Aite, yeah I’m glad it only took me about 100k ordos
I’d like damage to be 80% but thats pretty good considering I just hit 30 on psyker
Maniac and unyielding is up there with flak tbh
It's really not even close
unyielding definitely not
unyielding = boss dmg
cant think of 1 weapon where flak wont be the ideal perk
plasma doesn't really need it
plasma doesnt need anything tbf 
still
thing is, bosses are rarer than maniac enemies
Surge only hits bodyshots, so it's flak consistency is through the roof.
Unyielding is a good 2nd, but only a 2nd.
thunderhammers don't either
crucis needs its crusher bp
regardless, they should probably do something about the fact that flak is the bis perk for 99% of setups but they've kind of cornered themselves
still better than +attack speed + crit chance lmao
Laspistol. It does very good flak damage. I go maniac unyielding there.
I was being facetious but yeah ik there's a couple
question, does the surge staff's individual ticks when using secondary fire proc crits?
or only the burst damage at the end
I run crit chance on my double bleed knife on zealot too.
only initial hit I think
Double bleeeed????
Double bleed blessings yeah it's good.
@sterile grove it works on Auric, Gunpsyker builds that increase your Crits works like charm
Shitpost gun works
9% pen wtf
yes, its carried by Crit Damage
Crit Damage completely ignores armor
Yeah but you won't have 100% crit rate. With surgical you can hold ads to guarantee crit.
yeah
Thousand cuts technique?
Do you have a video?
Yeah you crit once and move on. All shooters even elites die to 1 crit.
https://youtu.be/bms7mTnXu88
Not everyone can handle the SPEED.
Double bleed good. Different from uncanny + 1 bleed. You trade penetration for better horde clear and 'fire and forget'.
Patch 1.2.22
Magistrati Oubliette TM8-707 · Assassination · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet
Loadout: Catachan Mk VI Combat Blade / Purgatus Flamer
00:00 Build
01:02 Game Start...
You make your teammates run after you to finish the map faster.
i want his mission layout mod
It's on nexus mission board or something like that.
Fuck revolvers
Of course. Martyr. That opens possibilities for sure
I'm going Rambo with the Columnus Mk V Infantry Autogun with Scrier Gaze + Smite with the Empowered Psionics
I have tried the assail and it is really fun
But why is it keep triggering demon host?
It follows your cursor
The Assail Shards follow whatever the fuck You’re pointing at
I'mma point it at these feelings so I can see them gone
I aim at a group of gunner and all of a sudden the host just wakes
@idle bay 
He thought it was old patch. I pointed out that it's latest one.
Oh cos blaze trauma was better in old patch? It's been the same since patch 13. :p
Don't play like me though most hated gamer
so gave a voidstaf try, not bad, but i didnt used my blitz abi... not even once xD
changed brain to smite, it is probably usefull?
Melk has not heard the memo that i prefer Voidstrike 🤷♂️
charge smite for ~4 ticks into LMB throws all the grunts down. or vent above 83% peril to att full blaze stacks and leave em to die
Have you tried Assail? It made my Psyker leveling easy
Just spam your 10 darts away and then go melee/ranged while you get new batch of psyknives back. Only thing it struggles is heavy armored targets so maybe get something on melee/ranged to deal with those. For me its Voidstrike staff now at lvl 30
yeah, from start, i am now experimenting left side .)
Yeah definitely worth trying others too while at it. I just had to use brainburst to finish redacted penances lastnight
Got now fancy new outfit
My first damnation mission was enough to get the 300s warp charges Warp Battery penance done, was just non-stop waves of hordes coming for that time and i had no even time to pay attention to that challenge and it just came as byproduct
4 brainbursts in 12s was pretty easy with the right talents that boost its recharge
but yeah, shards definitely best so far, killing everything while not even aiming nearly xD
Yeah lastnight "clutched" maelstorm with em, or cant really call it clutch as failed to revive team in time and they just died instead and i then went to get em up
Warning, noob psyker gameplay so dont catch bad habits from it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcv8xnOZuT8
I voidstriked most of the earlier mission as heavy armored stuff before that ending which was soft
Pro clutch 
I only learned why some enemies glow blue in that mission, was that right bottom part of my talent tree
that was like 90% saber clutch assail didnt carry ya nice
**get precognition/uncanny if ya dance around like that for some serious poker power 😉
Paid off to start as Zealot so melee doesnt feel uncomfortable
That stabby thing, basicly first decent roll Duelling Sword i saw once i hit lvl 30 and had some RNG luck with it with blessings that work (but not maybe best)
played vt2 so melee is good, i like hack n slash xD
Yeah I am very pro at melee coming from vt2.
anyway for leveling purposes shards and gun? and staves at 30 with better quality?
Didnt use 2nd rebless/refine because not sure if change Rampage or one of those bad perks, ideally id just pick up better rolled 370+ base new sword
Slayer dual melee weapons type.
whatever you enjoy really
I used Purgatus stuff a lot just for fun, but it was weak while leveling
But it was fun in missions where we had like Zealot with flamer too, just burning everything
i am thinking shards going well with this middle purple?
oh yeah, i loved my dwarf with big flamethrower gun... so satisfying .)
ideally you want high finesse/dmg cause it has huge multipliers to take advantage of on the IV specifically,
I didnt notice much difference trying Empowered Psionics with Assail to be honest
Ok will keep eye out for those, mobility is dump stat i guess
not a dump imo, speed buffs scale linearly with stat on duelies
Well yeah, not like 30%, but 60%+ upwards perhaps?
but over 50-60 will still feel good
Im keeping my eye out for +3 stamina curio too, because guide told me to 😅
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959 incase you havent seen
thats been pinned in this channel for ages XD
seen thx, but my head gonna explode from that, some tldr would be nice xD
Soon year old, Posted 22 Jan, 2023 @ 1:33am
its a good baseline. dont agree with all of it but lot of good info stil
tldr is experiement and have fun, but if things feel difficult, just spam assail (unless there is that green sleeper around)
lol dont crutch on assail, it falls off in higher lvls now post-nerf
can assail crit?
Yeah and hit weakspots
or abilities generaly
abils can crit, only specific staff/assail weakpoint
Id also try to get those penances done while leveling, like push 7 guys off a bridge type ones. So you dont then have to try to do goofy stuff with weird talent setups in Heresy/Damnation at lvl 30
the push effect seems very short so how u line it up?
reminds me of how it took me until a month or so ago i finally got the push people off the bridge penance and i've been playing on and off since the open beta LOL
certain maps have fantastic thin bridges for you to do it on
https://youtu.be/YYd1Q2u7NV8 Vigil Station Oblivium
Map: Vigil Station Oblivium
Need to push 7 enemies to their death to complete, easy place at the end with these narrow bridges
But basicly Venting Shriek on a bridge
Helps to stack some ability cooldown talents too
i could never get this area to work for me because of bloodthirsty teammates but i know it's generally like the place to do it LOL
most psyker ones are much easier in a group ya
It helps if you like take over one of the two bridges so teammates think you got it covered, then instead you go penance hunting once its yours 
one of them straight up requires you to have a team now
force sword can also be blockpush spammed to move mobs closer to a ledge
i mean ya considering the requirement
still need to do the team required zealot penance at some point
I got only custom game brainburst 90%+ of boss left, then id have full black set
i'm so glad they did it though because i could not imagine being the person trying to do that with randos
LFG channel for a shield ogryn that knows how to tank a DH + two others to kill mobs and its ez
someone have a good brainburst build I can copy for penances? I just hit level 30 on psyker and I want some shortcuts instead of testing everything
good point
one requires warp battery maxed kils; dont take the final perk for +6
others just use EP keystone + kinetic resonance.
- elite dmg aura is helpful in some cases as well, lets you pop a couple extra types
do you take kinetic flayer?
kinetic RUPTURE yes for challenges. flayer is absolutely useless always
and venting shriek is how you do the cliff knockoff penance right?
I did it lastnight, just get all the talents that support Brainburst and make it faster
shriek/sword push/smite pretty much anything
just take right+bottom. you only want it so you can spam a few quick with the 3 charges stored to get it done
tho once the specific 4kill penance done go back to warp battery so you can work on the stack of kills
Was gonna type what i used for brainburst, but baby pressed pc case's power button
confess that the button is big and red xD
man after I got downed everyone just fell immediately. I just love the surge staff so much
Surge is so good
High intensity shock trooper gauntlet really shows how much it shines being able to deal with elites and specials asap through a horde
That's too hard I stay in sedition 
I think the best part is you can charge, peek out of a door/corner, target an elite/special and go back to your corner as you shock em to death
I don’t usually play it either I prefer regular damnation but quickplay keeps giving me HI
Or rather HI games that are already half collapsed
I actually managed to rescue three team members fighting through a swarm of specials and elites
Still lost that run but it was fun
He was confused by interface and though that it was pre-patch 13
Huh.. post 13 blaze trauma got a lot stronger.
Where the offense stats tho
I dont know how to add that plugin, i downloded it but it didnt work
Not sure if its clashing with the other mods
Do I turn off the original scoreboard plugin and enable that, or have both enabled at the same time 🤔
gotta look at the mod list
oh wait
do you replace the files
of the original scoreboard
Oh nvm
Yours fine I focused on the wrong thing, my bad
But I can still give link to the mods I have
yeeah my game crashes when I have both the scoreboard and that plugin on at the same time
Yeah then no worries, if it works it works
Also surge staff putting up work
yep
Is there any good alternative to laspistol or colomnus as gunpsyker?
ovenproof's plugin needs to be below the base scoreboard in the load order and you may also have to update your base mod
I’ll check that out, thanks
Hoping we get dual cata swords and dual axes at some point for zealot, at least
i want to have quattro swords
2 in hands, 2 in feet
More fps games need to involve feet
you dream about that don't you
okay now it works
I just uh
probably have to turn off some layers
not sure which
Do duelling sword marks share blessings? 99% sure the answer is yes
yes
What are the sources of Soulblaze debuff? Just Perilous Combustion talent node?
Creeping flames. Blessing from trauma, void, and force sword. Purgatus staff.
Messing around with a soul blaze gun psyker build . What affects the dmg it does?
I wanna replace infested with maniac and terr barrage with surgical
Has someone done "the math" when it comes to smite with EP and without? Like the TTK and the amount of targets it can be hit by smite after X amount of time'
bro you can see the results yourself with your specific build in psykhanium. there are so many variables so you have full control there
That's a hella nice gun
clutched with gunker, no Deathspitter but decent enough
had another columbus with deathspiter IV but stability 64% is really noticable
Ehh, I was thinking more like a math formula for it.
do u love math bro?
solving equations aaaalll night
How do you use scriers gaze effectively with assail
keep blowing up lol
even holding down r
Don't use assails or any other peril generating attack while gaze is running
Its for enhancing melee and gun based attacks
You dont use assail while scriers is active, at most, shoot out 2 shots
I use assails when gaze is cooling down and I need to hit a ranged target and i don't have time to reload. Or when I want to conserve ammo vs an on coming horde
I finished my first Heresy level quickplay mission lasst night, as a gun psyker. My honest reaction: 😄
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fAbLH_gFag
How my team and I feel after troubleshooting a huge network outage
I dont know what the fuck was going on, there were a million mobs, and we were hauling 5 ammo crates to a lander
once i got to level 30 i found heresy quite ez cause of cheese
and if we have a good ogryn its smooth sailing
what cheese? .)
damnation though makes me sweat and gives me adrenaline boost irl
assail spam + quickdraw 340 rating revolver
i am at malice nad it feels same for me xD
i wanted to boost my assail damage a bit more with gaze but it doesnt work like i hoped it would
i think its for gunners
where as my primary is assail
i specd all the other criticals and let it stack and i get good dps
but still without ogryn or zelot damnation is hard af
I was lvl 19, and after it was done, rick pretty much nailed my reaction 😄
heresy is also quite hard depending on the modifiers
and if someone triggers 2 bosses at the same time lel
"dont shoot the daemonhost"
" oops"
bam plague ogryn joins in out of nowhere too
I don't like doing math, but I like saving time with it.
i like to leave the demonhost alone cause his voicelines are super creepy and cool
ogryn can tank it though and let rest of the team kill it
Obscurus gaming 
I get bored on damnation at times unironically
Not to say it's cos it's too easy but sometimes the director is just chill
"buzz buzz buzz buzz"
And the players who play aurics tend to be confident and not randomly die to garbage
But I say that when there's people who also just die to the first crusher lol
i still havent played aurics, im level 30 ogryn and phsycer lol
Honestly just rng if your team is good or bad
aspire to such virtues, sibling
YEEE SOLID
No rush
If you don't feel like tryharding it's not really an issue tbh xd I just enjoy the constant hordes
Now FS buff obscurus you bastards.
Been playing tide games for over 600+ hours combined now if you include my vt2 experience
So anything that's not the game throwing kitchen sinks at me is me getting bored eventually
You reckon uncanny is good?
i played deep rock deep dives that took over an hour or longer
and it stresses me out
when i just need a breather
damn, Slaughter blessing looks amazing
Based and chad rock and stone
I don't know if I really want to pull out the obscurus that much. Xd
I don't know, I take it for granted that it does something useful 
so i avoided aurics, ill try it eventually
It probably is redundant if you take it with Trauma or something
obscurus is so awkward to use
No rush
worst moveset ever
I could try slaughterer executor to boost damage.
Need to test how easy it is to keep executor stacks.
Okay it's impossible with the light 2.
That upper cut attack 
they really need to update it
first demonhost encountered and he just went after me only... any tips? .)
well my high lvl teamates didnt xDD
its either all of you melt it really quickly, or you just sacrifice two souls to the warp and hope half your team can revive you eventually
its really easy to takedown if you dont pull it during an elite spam
doesnt it only attack first the person who triggers it?
I dunno, I think thats how its supposed to be, but I saw it attack the closest person a couple of times as opposed to the guy that shot it
getting close to it can trigger it too of course
noice
From my experience it usuallt goes after at least 2 people on Heresy, but idk why, or what makes it do that.
Nice would be sick with surgical 4.
yeah, I'll try to get that asap
I'll need it
Would Warp Siphon be a good alternative for a Gun Psyker? I really don't like how random Disrupt Destiny is, but going from the right side all the way to Warp Siphon is kinda expensive.
I remember spending 80k plasteel for a single t4 
pls dont remind me of the search for uncanny t4
gl sibling
executor is the way to go
