#psyker-class
1 messages ยท Page 1056 of 1
psykers have lots of ways to burst regen toughness but no way to store all those extra toughness they're getting
Is uncanny blessing just rare or do the gods hate me?
What kind of cheese though?
Which tbh is probably intended
It's not rare at all.
the smelly kinds, all mixed together
then what am I doing wrong lol... I've blessed so many mkiv ds and never gotten uncanny blessing
Ooo like the smell of a cheese tasting, I could go for that
but imagine all the cheese had turned bad
Not having quietude feels dirty and lewd
what, blue cheese?
Technically cheese is already bad milk
and have been out in the sun for a couple days
So can cheese really be even more bad
Sun-dried? That's fancy

and stepped on
Iโve been gluing quietude to my builds for literally longer than darktide has been released
Adding feet fetish in on top of it?
welp, that's enough for me.

- weakspot damage on surge staff is not worth it, right?
nope
Why was feet mentioned
+weakspot damage isn't worth it on any weapon
- weakspot damage perk is not worth it on any weapon

duly noted
its just straight up terrible
thank you hadron
so, I played a few matches with DD last night
most gracious
w
I really wish the stacks didn't fall off all at once
ME TOO
or that the psyker got credit when the target dies
I like the idea of 5 second stacks but they decay.
not just when the psyker kills them
yeah it's kinda gimpy running the extra duration
but
ultimately i feel like it's better
as much as i'd agree with u, ever since they allow u to get defy destiny on melee chaffs, it's very good
I didn't once see a DD target pop up on a poxwalker or infected
scab bruisers, dreg bruisers
i see
chaff would be the horde
I could see DD being great with surge staff since it crits so much
well on those guys then
DD really incentivizes weakspots
DD is fun as fuck to use on Surge, but I dunno how much effect you are getting.
but anyways, yea if dd falls off slower, it'd may be kinda overtunzed
surge staff doesn't hit weakspots
yeah but dd gives crit damage
u're essentially forfeiting the better half of the buffs
In fairness, you don't really need more crit damage on surge
EVEN WORSE thank you hadron
DD gives double the weakspot damage buff compared to crit damage
if i recall it gives 2% crit dmg per stack, but 2.5% weakspot dmg per stack
Surge staff went through quite an arc
yeah and frankly I'd rather have warp stacks with inner tranquility
im not too sure, but it gives more weakspot dmg than crit dmg
1% damage, 2% crit, 2.5% weakspot, I think
the 36% less peril gen is really strong
Running true aim was weirdly fun with surge.
surprisingly ok melk sword?
it really is, and the surge staff really needs that
is the mk2 good for anything?
thats the one that yeets you into space with absurd dodge distance yah
yea, surprisingly good
all dueling sword does that
I cant not use my mkiv though to even try mkii. is moveset way different?
Does that... Does that actually do much
mk2 is the more versatile version of the dueling sword, since it has a vanguard heavy if im not wrong
nope
Remember surge has multiple hits
So you could get multiple stacks of true aim
so it can manage hordes better, and can actually utilize rampage, at least better than other dueling sword
if you hit weakspots with something else, True Aim will make surge crit
but you aren't procing True Aim with just surge staff
i would switch rampage to t4, and switch crit to possibly maniac or carapace
the little ticks don't count as hits
me weakspot hitting with space trauma
You could get multiple true aim stacks with one surge target.
Of course it doesn't matter cause it's patched
oh mb I'm in and out of the chat, doing stuff rn lmao
you used to be able to proc true aim with it
didnt the surge staff do weak spot hits before?
that was the month otherwise known as the Dark Age of Surge
lol
when FartShack was futzing with it
same thing with smite, but people tryna use smite to synergize with true hit are kinda silly
Was this when Surge did 1/2 dmg because it was hitting limbs
so rampage on mkiv is worthless right?
could someone help me unlock the psyker penance where i have to kill a monstrosity with brain burst?
considering u mean the dueling sword, no not really
During and after.
yes, when smite/surge would pic a random spot on the enemy to hit
yes but it made up for it by doing crazy amounts of crit
So first surge hit random targets and did -50% damage.
use push attack to proc rampage
ok bc I don't have uncanny yet so using rampage iv
They fixed the 50% damage part first
I much preferred when Surge and smite shared an attack object
then keep slapping away
and so EP buffed the shit out of surge
and then push atk to proc rampage again
sorry I mean ds mkiv
So for a while it could do weakspots and limbs and did more damage at times.
and surge benefited from the smite upgrade nodes
that was the most fun I had with the current version of surge staff
I think the jump benefit was a cool feature, but then you can't really run anything else with Surge but smite.
yea, rampage works on dueling sword mk4, ofc uncanny is more important
but use push atk to proc rampage on dueling sword mk4
I still haven't unlocked uncanny I don't know whats up with that
ahhh this was a good time
free double dmg on surge
Ah I see what you mean
cuz u havent earned an uncanny
The good time was all the people confused thinking they nerfed Surge after fixing it


Or the people who think it made surge "balanced" like smh, how bad are you playing.
Surge is still technically the worst staff rn tho
is that a thing or joke lol at this point I'm like maybe I didn't do something yet
it needs to just do its full damage, like everything else in the game
What do you mean randomness?
Hadron does not bless you
well, u see magnifying glass besides your blessing?
surge secondary has a large variability in the damage it deals
it's not consistent, there's an RNG component
Uhhh, in what way?
is carapace decent on the surge?
That was an issue with limb targetting and was fixed a while ago.
that means u dont have that blessing "earned", and u can surrender it to hadron to "earn" it so u can put it on other weapons that are of the same kind
if u can get an uncanny on a different dueling sword, u can "earn" it and put it on your current dueling sword at the "rebless" section
Oh yeah I know that part I just can't seem to get the uncanny blessing on any of the swords. I've upgraded like 10 to get uncanny and its alwayss same 3 blessings
Are you testing it with all your buffs off?
really? I thought it was mk specific
Oh
well that's just hadron being your mortal enemy
its not mk specific, its just weapon specific
nice... I had no idea
all dueling swords share blessings with each other
so u can earn 1 blessing to be used on all 3
It's.. aite
Any specific enemy type or is it all of em?
flakiak still better overall I think
all of them
or crit chance to abuse more crit related bonuses
some that are considered "similar" are not actually the same, like chainsword and heavy eviscerator are different, and all the psyker staffs are different too
Like if I hit a crusher 10 times, some of the damage will be different?
they dont share blessings with each other
so just keep that in mind
your crits will be different damages as well
heres how the one I just crafted is looking, maybe I change cara and keep flurry 3
yep, u do
why did you keep Terrifying Barrage?
I'd take out barrage for nexus and carapace for flak
RIP.
im getting rid of terrifying barrage on mine just have nothing better yet
took barrage while crafting to force a t4 flurry or nexus
I'd keep the carapace and swap crit chance for flak
its changed rn
That's the strat to deal with some RNG, I assume he's gonna change it.
This strat makes sense
But it has never worked for me
damn it hadron
You bitch
nah, he put terrifying barrage into the second blessing slot
regardless its still rng, i tried this method countless times
I'm talking about this one
Oh lmao
I did terrifying after I upgraded to max lvl not before
it had run and gun on it -_-
thanks hadron
yea makes sense
you want warp nexus and warp flurry on surge staff
run and gun arguably better than barrage
literally no other blessing matters for surge
at least terrifying would help out somewhat compared to run n gun
dont have flurry unlocked yet

yeah terrifying > run n gun > nothin
if u can sprint with secondary, now that's run n gun
finally got my deflector 4 after 10 yellows 2 blues. on the 11th yellow lol
im pretty sure its more than 10- because i scrapped a few
not playing for 1 monmth made me pretty bad tho
@long wharf Oh man I'm blind not noticing that variance. Doesn't really matter though since the only real consistent breakpoint is shotgunners/gunners cause on bulwarks/crushers/oggunners you'll probably crit X times.
But I see your point
it took me by surprise as well
also crit bonus doesnt matter on surge correct?
it's the biggest reason why the surge staff doesn't feel good
you aren't consistently hitting the breakpoints you think you should be
I wouldn't say crit bonus doesn't matter, but it's definitely the least important.
you want a 370+ surge honestly.
What crit bonus
The +5 crit chance perk?
The stat crit bonus
Oo
with surge staff having a higher base crit chance, you end up getting more mileage out of +10% elite damage than you do +5 crit chance perks
@plucky flax bb this good enough?
especially since you make up for that perk in the talent tree
I've been enjoying my flak/unyielding surge.
if you look at post game you'll always have the highest overkill dmg which is basically wasted damage lol it does matter on monstrosities / big hp enemies though I guess
it does matter.
The 0 effort boss damage is pretty decent
And if no one is like hyper-boss damage, I'm usually dealing a huge amount of the HP
Kinda RIP with perks.
strip warp nexus 4 off and call it a day
that staff is useless
should i buy it just to take warp 4?
definitely
only asking cuz guide said its dump
nexus 4 is already a win, take it
t4 blessings are the best use of Milkies
i haven't swapped to trauma tho
guide is wrong
very wrong
surge has no dump stats
ok copy
yeah, surge generates so much peril that you really want both warp res and quell
With how much I use Surge, I really wish I could roll a better one with free perks.
RIP
These stats make me happy though, close to perfect for my purposes.
this is mine
lucky sob
My alt psyker got a +3 stamina like right after hitting 30 
my other one
FartShack really needs to let us trade weapons between characters
quell is ass tho
Stam on psyker good?
you'll notice the difference
my surge
feels good to me
just gotta get that flurry 4 and I'm gucci
what perk did you replace?
I run +stam, +toughess, and + hp
stam if I remember correctly
should have kept it
ill give it a try
crit damage is an absolute wasted perk slot
same with weakspot damage
the damage being multiplied is the difference between normal damage and the extra damage
not the total damage
no?
I think both ya
thats terrible
if they fixed the calculated wrong part, even being additive would be better than current
Somebody did the calculation in zealot chat
so if normal crit is 200% dmg then this puts it at 205%?
Hopefully the last one is good so is not bricked, I'll let you know on the next Dragon BallZ episode when I get more plasteel ๐
thats garbage
It's a percentage of the bonus added by crit
yeah
Which adds up to some single damage bs
lol
if you normally deal 660, and crit is 800, the 10% is 10% of 140, not 800
so an additional 14 damage
But I don't play surge that often so I'm on the boat of hoping they fix it
how the hell
Copium higher than my bank acc
thats some pretty common core sounding math
i got a blue version of this yesterday with 5 tough
welcome to FartShack's level of game design competence
quick question what map is this?
you can walk around on level one, and you need to take the battery up till level 2
i hated this mission when people aren't good
I'm guessing crit damage was too OP calculated normally or something?
I can't imagine why else they did this
Repair HL something
its not even a lose, its a freaking slog
that mission is pretty easy, just longer than others
i feel that mission is a slog
Yeah, it's the cryo thingy one
that part
Power Matrix
Power Matrix MetalFAB 36
a coordinated team can throw the cryo-rods up to people on the gangways
so are the surge perks flakiac,crit and melee?
It can be kinda bad because people aren't particularly good at escorting the carrier and dodging as the carrier
it always felt like the mission should end right there lol
Flak, crit chance, maniac, (unyielding if you are a
like me)
can I sacrifice warp battery until I get this done?
I think it's just something they did wrong but haven't gotten to fixing honestly
so max warp is 4 and not 6?
yep
time for wild fire meme-ing ๐
fire is an excellent way to keep warp charges up
but it was hardcoded to need 6 in november
ye, they fucked up the code for the penance in the nov update
oh, when the talent tree came out and it was bugged
What perks are nice on mk2 ds? I have max unarmoured
so unless it's fixed, 6 is required
it's been fixed
best ds2 perks are having a ds4

save your resources until you get what you want, or you will suffer, heed my advise sibling ๐
Rolled with max unarmoured and lvl 4 prenog strikes
mk5
Not the BEST
I'm under the impression the mk2 is the fastest one for lights
gotcha
I don't like the mk5 because it has a messed up headshot priority on one of the lights and each time I mention that people just go "aim 1 meter away from the head diagonally skill issue"
But yea any perk suggestions?
oh the mk2 looks fine
Flak and maniac, mostly
I would go with flakiac
I only have 1 reroll
If you want to deal with crushers, it doesn't hurt to do carapace instead of flak
Whats on it rn
I deal with anything, my team is always doing something else ๐
4 uncanny strike lvl 1 riposte and 25 unarmoured
Can't recall other perk think stamina
It has 80% everything but cleave which is 60 I think
ehhhh I'd replace stam for maniac and try to get a better riposte/precog blessing
shii
Pretty godlike sadly mk2
The grind continues
the grind never ends
No need to grind anymore, just get carried ez
carrying --> exhausting, frustrating, terrible experience
getting carried --> ez, no angry, fun time
i have ascended
the game is most fun when nobody is being carried
channel the full support meta
that's when you get those runs that are more or less smooth
Bubble shield, brittleness trauma
double shield so they don't die
Sit at the side and apply brittleness every once inawhile and throw down a shield
everybody knows what to do in each situation, and the team moves together through the map consistently
I enjoy letting my vet/zealot feel good doing big stonk dmg after I apply 8 stacks of brittleness
And then seeing them say at the end of the game I was useless because they got stat padded

I decided to try fire wc aura one time. Instantly roll a Burgatus psyker who overwrites all my soulfire. Zero charges all mission i mald every time
the sad truth is both vets and zealots are able to rend on their own
the psyker being a damage buffer/debuffer isn't a clear role any more
Psychic bampire >>> stupid ass in fire reborn
vets especially don't need any help with rending
they can get it on weapons and talent tree
Yeah vet can just headshot to do absurd damage mults on everything
Me out here headshotting carapace with a kant12
nope
No itโs great
it's great
But lik everyone has tons of it
it's so good that everybody can do it
so doing only brittleness is actually helping the team less than just doing damage
Is their rending the case of, they can do additional damage with the brittleness that THEY applied themselves
or is it the same as psyker
rending != brittleness
Where we don't benefit from our own brittleness stacks
rending is your weapon ignoring armor
second time i have lost at this aprt of the map 
Not having quietude has me malding but itโs probably ok
Back out of hallway of death?
brittleness = enemy debuff = helps everyone
the other time i died right outside the hallway
Run further ๐
Simply activate Kenyan mode
imagine like, you could kill zombie with one bullet to head, 100 damage
but instead, you shoot them two times in body first then 1 time in head to do 190 damage on the leaderboard
Apart from Zealots charge, is there other ways to apply brittleness
oh
or only rending traumas
What if your aim is just crappy
so just masturbation, got it
I think zealot charge is straight ignoring armor entirely, not applying brittleness
but in his context, its because he boosted their damage, so not really paddiing
oo
fair
also, it me
So only rending traumas apply brittleness
but at that point, just doing flat damage is better than applying brittleness only
That would be the overkill damage stat, which is different from the damage stat
nice thing about trauma is that its aoe has infinite cleave
it will hit everything in the blast radius
dude i just wanted to explain the concept to him in a simple manner.
which is why blast radius isn't a dump stat
do people think it is?
Since when was it considered a dump stat
But it wouldn't be padding if the scoreboard accounts for it?
so you brittleness everything you knock around
or you apply soulblaze to everything you knock around, depends on your build
blast radius is a dump stat on void staff
And on the occasion of the total damage showing overkill as well, it's a simple as damage-overkill
I was simply explaining
Oh yeah that's for sure
I wish FartShack would change the damage profile for trauma, though
I think somebody here has a 20 blast rad trauma
good! you got it!
having full damage only at epicenter and minimal damage everywhere else is kind of lame
damage should be based on how far from epicenter the enemy is
I also intensely dislike the aiming method for trauma
have since release
what do you mean
i thought its just look at floor
circle grow big
I think stat padding would be better explained as people just sweating to kill pointless shit to say they did more damage at the end
Ehhh it's not the best, but it's fine I feel
the circle isn't centered on where you're looking
Stairs
Like stalling the team so they can kill a poxwalker horde from behind
I hate that depending on the surface, it goes INTO the flooring
the circle is at the bottom of an invisible object that tries to center where you're looking
Magdumping hordes the team is fighting
Which kinda fucken sucks
it ought to just be centered where you're looking
Or they could use grenade aiming system
wouldnt that be a clipping issue
Caused by the weird aiming
but trauma isn't throwing a projectile
it fireball tiem
I'd be okay with that
i mean the other aiming method would be to "select" the zombie but then that would result in the front few zombies being selected no :p
I love how trauma literally feels like youโre calling down artillery shells ๐
set input delay when playing trauma to half a second then role play that its a mortar xD
I would genuinely use trauma more often if the aiming weren't the way it is now
But I don't get to see the insane arching of the shot
also just make the mortar explosion noises yourself
it does feel like more than just a grenade launcher, yeah
agreed though
play ogryn ez
i hate having to tilt my entire screen up just to aim further
The rock is the best thing to ever appear in this game
yep, I hate it
rock, thumper, GG
i will agree on rock
I don't want to look away from where I want the explosion to be
even when my brain burst gets stolen
I want to look at where I want the explosion to be
don't care
It not even good. Big boom one shot grenade tho, that thing is game changing
to an extent that would cause the reverse problem in close range
It's the fact that it's not good
โLook at me I have a rock that one shot mutieโ ๐
the big boom doesn't one shot maulers i think
But I get to throw rocks at things
no it wouldn't
i take big boom myself
you'd still look at the floor
Sure seems to obliterate everything
the problem with the grenades is that they have a limit on how much damage they deal
and that sounds like a stupid statement, but it's not
because that damage limit also affects how many enemies take damage within the blast area
grenades have cleave limited by the damage they deal
The solution is throw more nades
it always is
This is why I like grenadier vet ๐
Throw nade, kill a thing, free nade, throw nade
meta vet looks super boring ngl
I wish the ogryn tree would swap the positions of the rocks and the box of grenades
pfoom pfoom gun with psword
then I could take throwing rocks with gungryn
This is what the trauma should be like
just lobbing a rock over obstacles
imagine void augment
-now arcs, but plus 30% damage on headshot
Iโve been doing exe stance Kant12 which is not even slightly meta and very painful so I let myself have ps6 to not instantly die in melee ๐
The upside is Iโve gotten very good at aiming with kant12
imagine trauma variant that lays down patches of warpfire as enemy hazards
im pretty sure you could just go through the whole game with psword alone

They need to do more wacky staves
why do enemies get to lay down areas of fire but not us?
Meanwhile zealot nade
well yeah, there's that
Zealot nade is so dangerous for team
You think itโs friendly but then whoops itโs enemy fire on top of the friendly fire
Guess Iโll die
To be fair it is a different colour
Zealot's one is yellow
And when theyโre on top you only see one color
zealot fire is only golden
big brain
Install coloured zealot molotov mod
gotta use the ol' eyeballs

bomber resist used to not include his grenade fire
the custom flame mod has been helpful, along with zealot friendly fire
does purgatus only hit the body?
now add a curio perk, Fire Resistance +25%, and I'd probably put it on all my curios
i feel every few patches they choose which enemy is the dangerous one
previous few iterations it was rager
now its bomber and flamers
problem is FartShack has been messing with AI Director spawn variables
After the nerf and the omnipresent rager families
I have a bit of a conundrum
speak
i don't have many decent blessings for my knife, and i just got the new MK4, should i grind my old one for flesh tearer?
old one being the MKIII on the right
personally i would just grind out a mk4 blessing
as in
keep knife
and
keep rolling
but plasteel ๐
both of my mk4 blessings took like 10-12 gold rolls
you could prob work out how many times you need to hit 95% chance of getting the blessing you want
knife isn't a huge priority for my psyker tbh
and idk if i'd ever use that MKIII if i have the MK4
is mk4 objectively better?
idk if it was me i would be scared that i regret ripping it
dueling sword mk4 is what you want
โTweakโ by which you mean โcrank that shit to 300xโ
just further proof in my eyes that the FartShack devs are still learning how their own code works
They be playing with where they spawn too
From my run just now
Over my better judgement I still went ahead, look at this shit:
snipers have been spawning in weird locations for a couple patches now
I've never seen one in god damn heaven
or any bullet gun
he's not in heaven, just sub-heaven
It was unkillable
We all shot at him
It was a losing battle

that's where they all end up, yes
it was my first ever shuddup
not everone has ten million plasteel to throw at every weapon in the game
Hadron must have been whispering in your ear "It's not that bad, you can fix this, can't you varlet"
rule of thumb, you (your resources) will appreciate this, if by the time is blue nothing is good, stop and sell it
and then she laughed a big belly laugh
But that's exactly the reason why we choose what to throw mats at

hence the "blue" rule
To be fair
yeah, i'm trying to to grind out niche weapons too much
360 is the bare minimum for blessing farming
like this knife
no, he had uncanny already
o
he forced 2 bleesings into it
๐
m blind mb
would ya'll belive me if that was the best sword out of 40
don't feel bad, if you don't fail you don't learn ๐
i would
don't mention thunderhammers around me btw
I had 400k this morning:
I think I'm about 1.5mill dockets in and still don't have a decent blaze trauma
and lets not talk about plasteel please, it hurts my feelings, causes me emotional damage
i'm trying to save up for some drip for my vet too. i really want that highest tier desert camo set
idk how important mobility is for the knife but assuming it isn't, isnt that a pretty good roll
i was referring to the dueling sword
check if you like the imperial edition, is 50% discounted on GamePass atm, โฌ12 for cosmetics for all classes, some weapons and 2500 metal
i wanna get a decent knife, but i really don't wanna bog myself down in loads of grind
yes
i find dockets to be easy to grind, so personally i would grind for a decent one before spending plasteel
all my stuff are pretty mid but nowhere as bad as yours mr fleen xD
me
voidstrike kinda good
last call on if i should grind up my old one for the lacerate blessing tbh
eh if you feel mk4 objectively better then do it, else i will grind it out.
It's done. It's finally done.
Huge thanks to @terse cloud @silver mantle @tidal drum.
I couldn't have done it without y'all.
deimos uncanny sreiker as firs blessing what do you think is better as second slaughterer, deflector or unstable power
I got both of these unlocked at the same time due to accomplishing all the other penances prior. I unintentionally became a psyker main just to get the drip. I'm glad it's finally done.
can someone help me with malleus monstronum penance?
i assume another strategy is to buy greens from brunt to just upgrade the once?
Can someone help me with a build
I would like to use the flame staff and the electric skill tree
And being more of a support
Good luck getting an ogryn shieldbearer and finding daemonhost
its the one where you have to do 90% damage to a monstrosity with brain burst
Yeah Ik, daemonhosts count as monstrosities
if you find a good green but the problem with it is that most of them (in my personal experience) have barely tier 2 blessings
greens don't have blessings
blues*
green could have a good perk, if you find a good green with good stats and a perk thats a headstart
you buy the greens, upgrade them once, then either grind the blessing or trash it
Me and another psyker just duoed it, both playing psyker.
Getting the bots killed was funny and felt kinda mean
When it was my turn we got shit luck though so I still don't have it cause I needed to go lmao, his was first attempt on a chaos spawn.
you wanna try it together?
I'm busy atm, sorry mate 
ah ok all good
Funny enough for the same reason I needed to go last time, making food for my dog.
SHOP RESET IN 3 MINUTES any bets on what awful weapons we get?
90% guns like usual
Rating 364 - 30% dmg
I think your best bet is warp charges
im betting 370 axe with 1 level 1 blessing
they have a 3 stamina curio?
yes, is rare
ahh yeah the max main blessing rating is usually 75 right?
what perks do you want on a purgatus force staff?
devils claw 342 skullcrusher 2
ty
The atheneum has better answers, the guide pinned here on the channel
Just Ctrl + F and search for purgatus, when you see its image, it explains details you want to know like burn being at least 76%
im not very good at discord but ive been looking for the atheneum since you said it
where is it?
Force swords feel so slow now after weeks of using duelling swords
Wil maxing out my fov fix this problem
ty
this one is decent right? just need to replace perks
3 stamina curios seem like the easiest to find of the max curios imo
i've never seen a 17 toughness, and only one 21 health
I don't think I've seen a 21 health
I've heard +2 wounds exist
idk why they'd gate such a huge jump in quality behind such a miniscule chance but 
Methinks they don't
the +2 wounds might exist but they are not made anymore
they're blind then

because it doesn't exist
and it never has
yuh it's so rare that i ended up spending most of my gold rolling for random ones at the weekly counter lol
i gots like 3 or 4 of them now XD
its a main stat tho how do you roll for it?
+3 stam does exist though
OHH yeah
that's how i got mine!
I've heard you can get a +2 wounds with a 81 rating curio rating or more. Still haven't found one
i got burnt with the melee weapons
im not touching that those
im just gonna camp the normal store and try to get good base stat weapons for now
im not wasting a single penny on blunts
not any kind of blunt!
doing weapons one is a waste, i dunno i had a crap tone of gold to use at the time >_<
just did it again and got a +3 stam one XD
i spent like 200k on random swords and weapons with 375+ base stats
maybe one day theyll be useful
Not having quietude made me reee errytime
I have added it back
ds2 pretty fun tho
Move set is very Sid Meier pirates cutlass shit lol
anyone got a good blaze trauma build
People think I can only play blaze trauma in melee scab only. It's actually really good everywhere. Apart from nurgle-blessed modifier I would say since they are immune to cc from trauma but it can still work.

So, i wanted to try out psyker, and im currently level 10. I wanna ask, does Assails damage scale with your level, or with difficulty? Or do i need a certain build to make it do more damage?
Don't copy this guy he's promoting smite. I just check the comment and saw this one. Very agreeable.


Assail is grossly OP at low levels.
The Empowered Psonics keystone and a few other talents for general warp damage improve Assail decently, so it's still very strong at the highest diff.
But assail base damage is the same throughout
The only thing the mk4 would do weakly is the horde, I think
On second thought, maybe don't run EP smite 
I like the fact that every smite psyker I run into does 3x less damage than me
Fun fact I played surge ep smite in melee only earlier. I had a very good blaze trauma user on the team too.
I somehow outdamaged him and got more warpfire damage than him. 
Very based smite spammer.
I used smite for 70~80% of that map. Xd
I dunno hold it to below 100% and release to do a stagger?
Spinning really fast to reset the intial target, and dodge sliding forward because a smite psyker must be the frontline
I suppose there's nothing to change here re: blessings, no?
That's the only thing I know. Xd
i.e., upgrade flak or leave as is
I really like maniac on ds4.
I hope he wasn't running scoreboard 
He did it's someone I know. 

I crashed at the end of the game lemme see if my scoreboard got saved in time.
I will not have smite propaganda in this most holiest chat
I don't feel like this does anything remotely useful for me
Dreg ragers take 2 heavies to the head and die
It gives me slightly easier time to kill mutie.
So normally I try to damage it a bit. Then headshot poke it.
Without maniac the mutant needs a crit
I don't care much about it, it's easy to do a follow-up
But
No scoreboard. I'll try to ask him.
I literally just remembered that I had a melee maelstrom as a Surge/Smite versus a blaze trauma and another smite user.
Specialists and ragers
"Hey bro remember that time I humiliated you?"
Noooo 
It's not like that Xd
This one is blaze trauma vs rending trauma in melee only.
More ranged damage more warpfire. 
Thank you for free rending bruh.
Oh damn, I've never seen the warp that close to the ranged
Wut? On blaze trauma?
Maybe I'm remembering wrong, it's usually not that close, right?
No it's always super close for me.
Sometimes warpfire more, but often it's ranged damage slightly more.
๐ I wonder if my choice to use BM is hurting me more than I thought
Oh yeah, I don't run wildfire on Blaze, hmm, maybe I should. I've been running it on EP smite
This one warpfire slightly more.
I always run wildfire if I can (smite/bb)
Only time I don't run it is assail because it's impossibru
Oh yeah, what's your talent tree looking like for your EP smite? I'm guessing it's less top heavy than mine.
jesus this dude is untouchable
Slightly less yeah.
do kinetic flayer procs of brain burst get damage bonus from empowered psyonics?
I think he got lucky.
i dont think you can get that lucky that many times
I always take kinetic deflection for safety.
And I didn't go for +1 chain.
I used to take it when it was bugged to help out surge.
But ever since they fixed it I stopped.
Ima try this next, I wanna see if mind in motion can let me steal more kills 
Maybe he's actual top 1% psyker 
Jump definitely not needed, if I had the 5% crit, I would take KD over jump
But I need two points for KD, so meh
Hmmm mind in motion
Smite kind of renders KD less useful
Oh yeah it's just for that spicy time when I have to solo clutch.
Which somehow happens quite often.
Maybe because I go on solo plasteels incursion and people just die. 
I did die last night cause I forgot I didn't have KD ๐
Was also late and I was exhausted, but meh.
Yeah must have talent for me just for pure safety.
I mean yeah probably. Really hard for people to die when you smite their downed pos.

Me maxing out at 200ish plasteel
๐ฆ
I'm still not sure if ep smite is better than warp charge smite though.
Warp charge would let me spam creeping flames a bit more.
EP smite means more Aura though
Easier to steal elite kills
I can't really go back to warp charges because the smite length drives me crazy
I like the quick smites cause it's not like I care about CC at all
Plus EP is more points(for use) 
Yeah true that warp charges cost so much.

I did it like 2 days ago and honestly, just find the espionnage mission where you upload data at the end and stand on one of the bridge. Do a couple of pushes then the shriek and it should be smooth
RIP charge rate.
I did cliffhanger randomly with trauma
I did cliffhanger randomly in a train station using smite
no clue where they took fall damage from
For me it was the final drop down before going to boss elevator. The horde was coming from above that 1 spawn spot next to the drop down. Just spammed trauma up there and got it
sounds like we're talking about the same spot and that's where I got it too
I feel like they feel over the left and right or back sides of the train and were instakilled for being unable to move or fell out of the map for no collision
I truly have no idea but those are my theories
i really like the melee maelstroms
A decent result from the blaze trauma comeback, I suppose
Hmmm... maybe. That Toughness perk is "nice"
I dont think +3 stamina curios are good tbh
solid if you rely on blocks and shoves enough for your defense, but between psykers dodges and crowd control I dont think it's something you'll use often
๐ค im sure theyre better than +2 stamina curios
I always take kinetic so it's not that useful for me but if it fits your playstyle you can go for it.
Going up to 5 or 6 helps a lot if you need the stamina to reposition
well yeah but I dont feel like you really need more stam on psyker
Experiment and find out.
2300 for uncanny strike?
My rule of thumb is 2 toughness and 1 whatever with 3 toughness perks
I mean if you have +2 stam curios in use it wouldnโt hurt to use +3 instead
guess im finally building a knife
Nice! 
Stamina isnt for blocking fyi
Uncanny strike 3 and 4 is the same. It's capped at 100%.
So you don't really need tier 4.
I don't use any stamina, I use 2 toughness + 1 health
You have kinetic def for blocking
dont really need it for repositioning or shoving either
Stamina is for dps on knife, or for sprinting to reposition
imo
Stamina increases knife DPS?
I would think it doesn't matter with psykers regen rate
Ive found stamina pretty impactful personally with certain weapons
my tldr is if you need more defense, stamina curios can help you out, but isnt necessary, more qol than anything
It does because your dps comes from converting stamina into push attacks
Primarily useful against crusher and mauler packs
Hmmm, Mind in motion for EP smite felt kinda useless
You can spam push attack as psyker from the stam regen delay alone.
push attack is apparently faster than heavy spam
And having 2 bars of base stamina
While doable
Is a bit sketchy
Especially if there's many maulers and crushers
might affect dodge slide distance? but idk, I dont use it anymore either
except on Assail cause I want the 10% toughness replenishment modifier and cooldown aura
I was asking because of the standard maelstorm, it was crushing (pun intended) ๐
it was my 1st though
I need to git gud
really gud
๐
In my blaze trauma meme vid I used knife without stam curio.
Mind in motion honestly should affect most slowdown from charging attacks and be switched to the bottom middle
Mind in motion should just be base effect lmao
Or that
Just pulled this, swapped the bad bless and going to swap +stam for +crit chance
Based
I say yes and no. The difference with IV is that is stacks rend quicker so the damage ramps up faster
damn sick
But it's 4% per stack
Yo, very nice breh
Keep in mind, combined with warp nexus and true aim, 5% crit is relatively lackluster
so 4% less armor, then 8% more damage, etc
25% carpace or flak however.... 
Oh, yeah, that may be true - better perk idea?
caprance prolly?
Carapace > Unyielding?
I found more of this dude getting lucky. He soloed a horde + specials + elites + plague ogryn 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PRiD-sWsNQ
whats the difference between maniacs and unyielding actually?
You have maniac base which is super nice
, flak is what I would do to match it
But Carpace and Unyielding are valid choices
maniac = mutants, half ragers, both flamers
unyielding is monstrosities only, right?
I think one of the bombers, I never remember which specials are flak
Maybe bosses?
Og gunner and Bulwark have unyielding parts
Ye but you also use wildfire
So you're hardly the paragon of build optimization ๐น
Carpace is Mauler heads and Crushers
One day, one day, hopefully before the weekend is over...
Bulwakrs are unyielding and flak(the shield ogryns)
Do they have carpace on there somewhere actually?
damn i shouldnt have closed the game meat grinder would have been useful now
They might haha
I thought it you tried to pierce their shield it was carapace hit? Unknown
I don't think bulwarks have any flak
I thought bulwarks were unyielding
like reapers
i dont think bulwarks are unyielding they do get stunned and staggered
unless thats not what unyielding means lol
its a creature type not an armor type isnt it?
no, it's an armor type
has to do with what your weapon is hitting.
Looks like unyield on their body, and carapce on arms/legs?
Emperor + Hadron just hooked my psyker up(it was purple).
My recently made alt psyker is quickly becoming better geared than my 1 year old main with 0 effort.
Wow thats a nice roll
sheesh yeah
if you have surge blessing, get it on there
I do
I might not even play my main psyker anymore at this rate ๐
My alt now has a better revolver, columbus, surge(ish), and now voidstrike and I never tried for any of this.
Create an alt psyker, secret to getting geared 
you kept playing, that counts as trying
Maybe my alt can be SanctionedPsyker.
I wanna make a 3rd psyker called OnlySmites
And literally only smite
but I need to get carried to like level 3 or something so I don't break the rule
what rule?
Smite pog
OnlySmites
oh
OnlySmites and Smitesly
I cant see shit on this maelstorm wtf
