[ornate hamlet]

I wish we could use spaces

Seeing people with MMO names hurts

Like holy fuck, just treat the string before sending it to the database

[plucky flax]

You don't like my zealot ForTheMaster?

[ornate hamlet]

Not without spaces

I'd have made surnames otherwise

Maxwell Sterling, Rafier Sterling, Lee Sterling and Pootis Spencer

[plucky flax]

I would name my zealot ForTheMasterOfMankind but ran out of letters.

[upper sun]

i use random names tbh cant be bothered

[lethal lagoon]

Issue with random names is people will "remember" you

I had someone get super angry at me on my Ogryn

I had literally no idea what he was talking about

[ornate hamlet]

Ok Candorick

[humble bolt]

shred or precognition with dueling sword 4????

[lethal lagoon]

I just have a common name

[ornate hamlet]

Tell me more, Maia

[lethal lagoon]

Suwaredo

[ornate hamlet]

I am eager to hear stories about Martack and Mussat

[upper sun]

actually yeah

ive seen someone with the same name as my ogryn

poor thuddo never did anything to anyone forever stuck at level 10

[lethal lagoon]

I didn't even pick a random name, but I guess "Blunt" is common enough for a mistaken identity.

same thing on my psyker, basic ass name for a mage haha

Saw another version of me.

[upper sun]

ye same happened

but she was a vet

SISTER?! ITS FINALLY YOU!

[lethal lagoon]

Speaking of female vets, I got attacked by a sexist on my vet.
Like bro, is it your first day on the internet, most of people playing girl chars are guys, esp since it's 40k 😅

[upper sun]

Yeah pretty sure 40k has some of the lowest female percentage of any fandom

[lethal lagoon]

Unsurprisingly, and unfortunately. Glad it's becoming more mainstream, bad actors are getting pushed out.

[upper sun]

i made 3 guys and one female psyker

i liked the voice acting on the non crazy one with the thick scottish-french accent

[lethal lagoon]

Another point for having scoreboard in the base game, better players are less sexist , proven by a study on it.

[upper sun]

and the male psykers are kinda annoying with the MY BELOVED crap

i think players who dont bother typing long rants in the chat are generally better

[lethal lagoon]

French psyker has one of my fav VAs, I wasn't aware when I made my first psyker or I would have made him a woman

Everytime someone backseats, I hit tab to check the scoreboard.

Unsurprsingly last place

[upper sun]

also the lines are strangly supportive of everyone else

unlike the vet whos just mean to everyone that isnt a vet

[lethal lagoon]

French Psyker says it's "all skill"
Me holding smite 😎

[ornate hamlet]

Savant is based

[upper sun]

HUH MAYBE THERES A USE FOR YOU WHITCH AFTER ALL

[ornate hamlet]

Homie's learned and lawful

ACCIDENT OR SKILL, WITCH

THE FREAK WREAKS CARNAGE, LIKELY OUT OF ERROR

I love that last one

It's such a cope

[lethal lagoon]

Zealot and Psyker interactions are so good

[upper sun]

like bro cmon your beloved emperor is a psyker too be nice pls

[ornate hamlet]

I take pride in accidentally being better

[lethal lagoon]

Also I still haven't gotton 4 Ogryn, I heard the dialogue is unique

[eager token]

this worth picking up from the milk man

[upper sun]

4 psykers is nice SIBLING SIBLING SIBLING

[humble bolt]

theres only 3 ogryn voices so 3 should give u the unquie diollogue

[cinder niche]

Is it just me or HL70-04 crash so damn much

[lethal lagoon]

5 apparently has some awesome dodge slides , probably worth it.
It's mutant and crusher killing ability is still pretty good too.

rampage to uncanny, crit hit to maniacs

Solid blade

[eager token]

yeah the single target attack pattern makes me feel sketched out but i'll just run it with purgatus or something

dodge slides tho

[opaque charm]

Assail enjoyers, I have the build which you probably already know

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7UiJh85CU&

(I've run into like maybe 2 or 3 psykers who used assail in the last month tho, so maybe not)

[lethal lagoon]

I did just buy a nice Aggripa from melks
Yeah, typical pairing for ammo conservation on a columbus gunker is assail , that's usually with scrier's though and frankly rare to see in-game vs common in discord
I'll give the video a watch.

Seems interesting, I don't see aggripa reolver on psyker ever, that's for sure.

[opaque charm]

I think it's a perfect match for assail,

switches scriers with vent

so u can assail more

[long wharf]

I definitely wouldn't use assail with SG

[lethal lagoon]

SGs for the gun, yeah.

[humble bolt]

ASSAIL IS FOR GETTING DD STACKS ONLY

[steep estuary]

Assail is great for cutting the grass

[humble bolt]

only use right click the left click is useless

[opaque charm]

from what I've seen, it's great at killing gunners/shotgunners. it also is pretty good and staggering/killing rager rushes

[humble bolt]

yeah thats the only situation u should use the left click spam. it doesnt kill much unless u got high dd stacks tho

[steep estuary]

It does really good crowd control too. Just click click click and the swarm stops XD

[opaque charm]

yaa it supresses the 'newly infected' and las teams too. basically anything that can be supressed

[humble bolt]

more efficient to use melee for hordes but it works as a last resort

[steep estuary]

I've been enjoying using assail to thin things out, then cleanup with the sword. Occasional staff blast if needed.

[opaque charm]

Is it tho? Assail and Peril are basically free - plus if your build gets toughness on crits and or warp kills = ez toughness

[steep estuary]

Oh yeah, its like base 10% peril for a quick toss and 25% for an aimed throw iirc

If you have that one talent for regaining toughness on peril gain, it can help

Quelling too tbh

[humble bolt]

ya i only spam if im low on toughness and i need peril NOW

I DONT run quick shard skill so it takes a while for them to regen so i save assail for ranged and only use right click

[steep estuary]

Yeah, I have a loadout without the quick regen, it feels painfully slow ;-;

I end up using the voidstrike for precision

[humble bolt]

this is my favorite psyker build its so much fun and very good https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9ad59964-545c-4697-b01a-78a3ca3f7d7a/best-melee-psyker-witch-hunter-captain?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

[steep estuary]

Certainly looks effective lol

[lethal lagoon]

mk4 columbus assial is such a fun combo

Pokey poke

[steep estuary]

I wanna try out the combat knives

Gotta remember to nab one up next time im on

[lethal lagoon]

dueling swords kind of ruined daggers for me, tough to use em anymore 😅

I used to love daggers

[magic kayak]

is this usable?

I just finally unlocked uncanny so about to put it on this

but then not sure if I leave riposte or rampage

[lethal lagoon]

Those are some good perk rolls, I would make it a free blessings sword

[magic kayak]

so only change the blessings, makes sense

[lethal lagoon]

I have no idea if 20 v 25 carpace hits a breakpoint, I don't think it does.

[magic kayak]

yeah I was thinking not, I figure the uncanny is the real breakpoint I need lol

[steep estuary]

Give 'er a go, see how well it does lol

[lethal lagoon]

I love weapons with ideal perks or blessings so you can just make it a free X weapon

[magic kayak]

Ok so do I replace riposte with shred and then rampage with uncanny?

[lethal lagoon]

You can test out any combo you want now

[magic kayak]

That's a great point

Actually I just noticed crit dmg is x2.48 which is massive and rampage is only going to add a flat 36%.

So crit chance and uncanny it is

[lethal lagoon]

But you are ready for the next uncanny nerf 🙂

[magic kayak]

haha true. I can swap to whatever flavor of the month blessings come along

[ornate hamlet]

I thought rampage would multiply the final damage by 36% or something of the sort

In theory whatever buffs your damage will also buff your crits

[spice veldt]

multiplicative yeah

[ornate hamlet]

36% power should make your normal attacks, crits and headshots all better and have a better application than crit and weakspot damage because of the way it's calculated

[lethal lagoon]

I've tried a shred rampage mk4, surprising solid horde clear and still killed crushers easily enough

[ornate hamlet]

I'm scared of removing uncanny

Does it manage to one-shot poxwalkers?

[opaque charm]

Uncanny doesn't effect poxwalkers

[ornate hamlet]

I know, I'm asking about rampage

[lethal lagoon]

I think so?

[opaque charm]

ahh

[lethal lagoon]

I haven't used it in forever

It definitely killed every single

Which was a welcome change

every swing*

[ornate hamlet]

I'd be tempted to make my strikes canny again if I could at least kill one poxwalker per swing

[magic kayak]

I'll try both and see what feels better

[lethal lagoon]

Free blessings meta

Imagine if all 4 slots were free

Nah that's dumb

Soooo dumb.

[magic kayak]

when doing curios what takes priority? resistance against gunners, toughness regen, or combat ability regen, assuming I'm going for those 3

[lethal lagoon]

If you do toughness regen make sure it's 90%

I like 40% sniper and 40% gunner.

[magic kayak]

I'm using surge staff so I feel like gunners arent as massive of a problem for me so might prioritize toughness regen and then gunner / sniper

crap perks right here

[lethal lagoon]

And then a gunner ambushes you from behind because it spawned from thin air and you lose half your HP 😅

[magic kayak]

true story

I'll leave off ability regen, I use warp charges so thats not as big a deal I guess

[long wharf]

I put stamina regen and ordo dockets on all my psyker curios

[magic kayak]

That's not a bad idea.

[humble bolt]

is this the perfect dueling sword?

[lethal lagoon]

Weakspot damage 😦

[humble bolt]

yeah but i figured it might be okay with this one since im mostly stabbing weak points. would defintitely rather have unyielding or carapace for sure

[lethal lagoon]

I mean I'd question whether it's worth rerolling that unless you have nothing else to add to your build, but you did ask if it was perfect.

[zinc phoenix]

Not having empathic evasion with blaze trauma feels so bad

I went from “hahaha I am god of fire I boom all” to “ah shit I’m being tagged by a twerp, time to hide”

[lethal lagoon]

I never notice emphatic on surge so I never tried it on blazse

kinda wanna now

[zinc phoenix]

Which fine on auric damn but in maelstrom it’s so painful

[lethal lagoon]

Wasn't the recent mael ranged only

[zinc phoenix]

If there’s stuff near you and you peril edge you’re basically untouchable by ranged for as long as you want to be, it’s super nice

[zinc phoenix]

I did the one with VEG weakened monstrosities for a win earlier

Lotta gunners and everything else

[ornate hamlet]

Empathic IAG making psyker better at ranged combat than zealot and vet

The new unwavering focus

[zinc phoenix]

Idk Kant 12 with exhilarating takedown and suppression ignore is pretty beastly at long range gunner duels

[ornate hamlet]

But this time you need to trigger it instead of the game giving it to you

[zinc phoenix]

You do have to like headshot everything tho

[lethal lagoon]

Empathic IAG feels like Old OP vet gameplay

[zinc phoenix]

I’m hopeful theyll nerf that thing so people have to aim again

[magic kayak]

Does anyone know what base crit chance is on the surge staff?

[lethal lagoon]

I can check really quick, it should be 7.5 + whatever is listed in crit bonus

so 27.5 at maxish

[magic kayak]

how can you tell it's 7.5 base?

[lethal lagoon]

that's psyker base

[magic kayak]

Gotcha ok cool

any idea on crit dmg base?

[lethal lagoon]

I don't think crit dmg has a base?

It's weapon depedent, you can look in attack breakdowns on the weapon

[magic kayak]

ah thats right thanks

Because it's also different on various kinds of armor

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, surge staff is around 27%-28 total at 70 crit bonus

Then you also have the 5% crit chance on the tree that most builds take

so 32-33

[spice veldt]

different depending on the armour also depending on the weapon

some weapons are sane and have the same crit/weakspot multipliers for all armour types

[magic kayak]

so with 78 crit bonus its showing me 20.6 secondary melee crit chance, is that where you are pulling it from?

[spice veldt]

some (cough cough laspistol) are insane

[magic kayak]

so 7.5+20.6+any other bonuses I've got from tree or blessings

[lethal lagoon]

Fatshark when a tooltip they can correct in 2.5 seconds is wrong for an entire year.
"Vacation time!"

[magic kayak]

yeah I'm like melee? ok..

[lethal lagoon]

NGL, I'm glad they don't pay attention to what the player base is saying, even if it leads to silly mistakes like this. Some of the takes on reddit and steam forums.... breh.

[magic kayak]

Yeah frankly there's a reason the popular vote shouldn't be that relevant in politics. Average person doesn't know what they're talking about lol

[humble bolt]

what about second vacation

[magic kayak]

only after fourth meal

[long wharf]

on the flip side of that argument, if FartShack never listened to the community, they would have been content to not focus on things they don't think/know are broken

I don't think we would have gotten a year of bugfixes if the community hadn't hounded the devs

[magic kayak]

Yeah the game is a massive improvement over launch no doubt

It's easy to talk smack but lets be honest we wouldn't say anything if we didn't actually enjoy the game and want it to be even better

[humble bolt]

its at the point it shouldve been AT launch

[lethal lagoon]

I would literally have 0 complaints if they just released as early access.

[magic kayak]

I think a lot of what we see these days is games being driven to launch regardless of whether theyre ready or not

but frankly it's all a business, it has to kind of work that way since you have a lot of money involved and people to pay etc. These things arent free

They're about 180 people per google. With avg salary of 75,000 a year thats 13.5 million dollars per year in overhead or 1.125 million a month.... delays mean less months of revenue basically. Big deal.

I just picked an avg salary I feel might be reasonable

[lethal lagoon]

Both sides are just doing what they gotta do 🤷‍♂️

[magic kayak]

yep

[lethal lagoon]

The day we give up, is the day all games become diablo immortal

Or oh god, lost ark

Korean game monteization is wild

I would say Chinese, but damn their government is coming after them

Honestly, I hope the EU follows

And then the slow ass US catches up

[ornate hamlet]

I LOVE HAVING A DAILY CONSUMABLE RESOURCE TO ENTER COMBAT INSTANCES I LOVE HAVING A DAILY CONSUMABLE RESOURCE TO ENTER COMBAT INSTANCES I LOVE HAVING A DAILY CONSUMABLE RESOURCE TO ENTER COMBAT INSTANCES

[lethal lagoon]

Korean Pay-to-win is so infectious some of their most popular forms of media are VR games novels/mangas with massive pay-to-win mechanics.

[opal lake]

Does anyone know how much damage a single unmodified Assail shard does?

[lethal lagoon]

Target depedent, but I think it's 200 and 475?

You can find it in the last patch notes where they nerfed assail

[opal lake]

On like a pox walkers let's say

Oh really? Thanks a bunch

[long wharf]

I think it used to be 200

I could be wrong

[opal lake]

I couldn't find any actual numbers online so thanks for the patch notes

[long wharf]

nope, you're right, it used to be 250, dropped to 200 in patch 14

secondary was increased from 250 to 340, EP buffs that to 400

[lethal lagoon]

@opal lake Reduced power of primary action from 250 to 200
Increased power of secondary action(aimed) throw from 250 to 340 or 400 if talent “Empowered Psionics” is active

[long wharf]

jesus, no wonder aimed shards feel so weak, 400

[lethal lagoon]

Ah too slow

A weakspot one shots a sniper though

which is 500

[long wharf]

but that's because snipers are unarmored

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah

I think a weakspot crit can go nuts on a gunner, but I'd need to double check how much buffs you need and stuff.

[spice veldt]

for the LMB, at least

[long wharf]

I wonder why infested is less than unarmored

while maniac is the same as unarmored

[lethal lagoon]

Maybe they were too strong on doggos at 200?

[long wharf]

man, remember when the revolver hand-cannon blessing still applied to everything you did?

assail was great with that

[lethal lagoon]

I like how after they accidentally made crucian roulette apply to everything, they did the same with hand cannon

[magic kayak]

This is a sheet I just did showing with 24.8% crit chance, then 37.8% with warp nexus, then 42.8 with the +5 from tree

to show whether the 5% is really that worth it

(its not)

[long wharf]

this is in reference to 5% crit chance perk?

[lethal lagoon]

8% is better than I thought it'd be, if I'm reading it right.

[magic kayak]

but it is worth around 8% more average damage

correct. Because it makes your big dmg spike happen more often

[long wharf]

so you'd be better off with +10% elite damage

[magic kayak]

exactly.

[long wharf]

which is where you want the extra damage anyways

[lethal lagoon]

Nurgle staring at you from around the corner 🫣

My issue is that it's not really 8% cause of overkill of crits

I guess that applies to everything though

[long wharf]

Nurgle staring at you from across the room 🥵

Nurgle is actually happy all the time

[magic kayak]

But I need to run a few more tests to see if I'm not missing something because it kind of depends on how the 10% is calculated

[lethal lagoon]

Surge staff damage is also slightly variable by about 50-100

[magic kayak]

If it's 10% on your crit damage, then I don't think that's as good

[long wharf]

+elite isn't +crit damage

it's across the board damage to elites

so it calculates properly

from what everyone has tested

[magic kayak]

Right but my point is, when you do a crit hit, you do 1056 damage right?

As example.

[long wharf]

I bet the +elite damage is added before weakspot/crit modifiers happen

[magic kayak]

So if it adds 10% onto that as a base, it's increasing your base dmg to 1161.6

I hope so

[ornate hamlet]

Elite and specialist have a slightly different math

I think they were additive instead of multiplicative

It was Arco or Pygex that explained the details to me

[magic kayak]

I'm sure someone's tested this I probably need to look around before I reinvent the wheel

[long wharf]

check Pygex's Atheneum

[magic kayak]

Thanks

[humble bolt]

pythagorean theorem?

[magic kayak]

So perks do not add to the weapons listed attack breakdown right? it just uses the base stats under modifiers section?

[spice veldt]

the calculator seems to imply that it's properly multiplicative

[magic kayak]

checking it out now

[spice veldt]

let's just say that it's all multiplicative with different sources and ignore which calculation happens first or not

[magic kayak]

Awesome resource by the way thanks (atheneum)

Also for whoever was saying III and IV uncanny are the same, rending past 100 actually adds dmg bonus at 1% extra dmg per 4% rend past 100

so 120% rend with 5 stacks of IV uncanny equals 5% dmg increase over max stacked III uncanny

[long wharf]

good to know

[lethal lagoon]

It might have been me I got one-guyed.

Or confused

One of the three

[magic kayak]

lol all good I just saw it in this article and thought it was interesting

[lethal lagoon]

I thought for sure they nerfed something about rending going past 100%

Maybe that 1% extra damage per 4% used to be higher

[long wharf]

it was a fix

used to be if rending went higher than 100%, you'd start doing much less damage

[hushed egret]

I heard about that too but didnt know if it was still an issue or not

[long wharf]

nope, not still an issue

[vocal cliff]

If the first target weren't too low I'd use it a lot more

[long wharf]

well there's your problem - it's all in French

[ornate hamlet]

déchirure

mêlée is what I'd type to mock the French saying melee

[long wharf]

maylay

[ornate hamlet]

Meelee betas vs. maylay sigmas

[long wharf]

and then you have "meal chads"

who don't know how to pronounce anything

we should just combine the two - meelay

or maylee

[strange vault]

Staring at the T4 uncanny strike being sold by melk

[long wharf]

don't stare, buy it

[strange vault]

Is it worth getting?

[long wharf]

that's what Milkies are for

[lethal lagoon]

Eh, rolled uncanny and maniacs, kind of makes up for the first target.

[keen perch]

Is there something to boost brain burst charge?

[lethal lagoon]

warp rider, perfect timing, any keystone, EP especially.

[ornate hamlet]

Kinetic barrage and empowered psionics

[lethal lagoon]

You can also pick the double shield ability to get double kinetic resonance

[strange vault]

What are the best blessings for a dueling sword?

[lethal lagoon]

uncanny and suwaredo

[ornate hamlet]

Uncanny strike and shred or rampage

[long wharf]

suwaredo?

[strange vault]

suwaredo?

[restive slate]

Suwaredo meta

[vocal cliff]

The illsi sword is weird

[magic kayak]

I vote for shred over rampage personally

[lethal lagoon]

You don't use suwaredo on your mk4 o.0?

[long wharf]

googling couldn't even tell me what "suwaredo" is

[vocal cliff]

Despite my love for the voidstrike

Wish psyker got a new staff in the update

Idk, might just be my boredom kicking in

[lethal lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/ima-firing-mah-lazer-shoop-da-whoop-lazer-gif-16249947

Beam staff when

Also jeez, I picked the worst version of that meme

[vocal cliff]

That would be fun

[lethal lagoon]

I was just wondering to myself whether they translated Shred to the japanese word for it or just went with English in katakana i.e Su-Wa-Re-Do

And I liked the sound of Suwaredo

So i started saying it

[keen perch]

Using brain burst is a pain

A mix of it not going off when I want it too and people killing my target faster than me

[lethal lagoon]

Ah those pre-patch 13 feels

When Psykers and vets were mortal enemies

[keen perch]

I'm trying to get the penance but it's frustrating

[vocal cliff]

People will happily go after your target the second a blue aura is around their head

[lethal lagoon]

Helps to do em one at a time

[vocal cliff]

But spot that one bomber you cant reach cause your hands are tied and people ignore em

Not literally tied like, dealing with something else

[lethal lagoon]

What's funny was after maining only psyker for hundreds of hours back when the game came out, the moment I played another class I just automatically stole BB kills

I had to like physically stop myself

They are also a lot easier to manage when you are able to comfertably run t5s and aurics.(the penances)

[keen perch]

I'm going for specialist kills with brain burst penance

[lethal lagoon]

Hunting hounds modifer

[strange vault]

How good of a roll is this stats wise?

[keen perch]

I need that one too

[magic kayak]

New staff for psyker would definitely be great. Maybe support staff =X

That resurrects dead heretics to fight for you

[lethal lagoon]

If you don't have an IV, that's an okay starter. Finesse is pretty important though. Pen you want decently up too

[magic kayak]

joking. I really don't know what else they'll do

[strange vault]

Gotcha gotcha

What does finesse do exactly?

[lethal lagoon]

You can inspect the weapon and hover over the stat

[strange vault]

That is an insanely helpful tip thank you

[lethal lagoon]

You can also stop a peril explosion with venting shriek

I learned that wasn't as common knowledge as I thought haha

[lethal lagoon]

Bubble boi with smite and a support staff

[strange vault]

So I wanna prioritize Finesse and Damage on the mk 4?

Or Finesse and pen

[lethal lagoon]

Fin Dam

[strange vault]

Aye aye

[lethal lagoon]

then pen

[eager mantle]

I believe basic shriek didn't

[strange vault]

The one time I did almost explode I managed to tech it that way

[lethal lagoon]

I think they changed it back?

It does atm

[eager mantle]

It does save you now

[strange vault]

Also, which perks are best to have on a mk 4?

[lethal lagoon]

Maniac is probably the most important, that's why I said that mk4 was an okay starter.

From there it's your call depending on what you'll use it for

[strange vault]

Seems like that is the best one out of the dueling swords if im not mistaken

[lethal lagoon]

I use it a lot for anti crusher/mauler, so I take carpace

[strange vault]

That was gonna be my plan funnily enough

Gotcha, ty ty :)

[lethal lagoon]

4 is the overall best.

[strange vault]

And apologies for all the questions lol

[lethal lagoon]

Also, I recommend going through here, has all the need to know psyker stuff, including weapon stuff.

[strange vault]

[lethal lagoon]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959

[strange vault]

Will do, ty ty

[lethal lagoon]

It stills helps to ask about weapons because you can permentaly mess up weapons after all

[strange vault]

I was having a peek at it but just wanted to make sure it wasnt outdated

[lethal lagoon]

And a lot of it is playstyle and personal preference.

There's the occassional old error from past patches, but I'd say it's 99% solid.

Maybe 99.9

[strange vault]

Also one more thing, regarding stats what numbers should I be aiming for?

High 70's/80's?

[lethal lagoon]

The "ideal" weapon is 80 in all stats except 1, which is 60 and is the least useful stat of the weapon.

Obviously, that's low odds, so just aim as close to that as you can.

[strange vault]

Will do

[lethal lagoon]

The guide has all the "dump" stats. I think they are all accurate.

[strange vault]

Ty :)

[feral knoll]

Siblings. Why is it when the zealot clutches it’s called a “blessing of the god emperor” but I do it and it’s a “schizo meltdown”

[long wharf]

I think you already know the answer to that

freak

[strange vault]

Honestly

Could be worse

Got level 3 shred on it

So I took a lvl 4 uncanny strike blessing from a knife, am I only able to apply it onto another knife?

[hexed geyser]

Yes

[strange vault]

Dont see it here

[strange vault]

Ahh darn, that wouldve been good to know

[hexed geyser]

Weapons of the same type (like every type of knife) will share the blessings, but not different weapon

Anyway uncanny 4 is a good blessing for a knife, so you'll have it for future uses

[stiff falcon]

That’s good to know

[strange vault]

Oh phew, good

Ty ty

[stiff falcon]

I was wondering how long it will take to farm the blessings but it it applies to all it should be easy

[latent hill]

Is it good for the dueling sword?

[hexed geyser]

Oh it will take time

Yes it's good

[latent hill]

It’s essentially long knife yes?

[hexed geyser]

Uncanny and shred are currently two of the best blessings in the game, except for specific weapons it's generally a safe choice

Long knife with dumb single target damage

[latent hill]

Shred?

[hexed geyser]

shred and uncanny

[latent hill]

What’s shred exactly?

Is that weak spot damage?

[lethal lagoon]

Ah nice, just need to find an uncanny blessing.

[feral knoll]

Ngl. I didn’t think assail and Scrier’s would be that good. But I’m slowly digging it

[outer vessel]

Ngl, this staff just carries runs on its own. lol

It's kinda busted how much I can just sit on it and only swap to rapier for executions

[elfin owl]

Hi
I am a newbie who is learning how to play psyker. How do you deal with multiple ragers?

I had to use my ability to stun the ragers so my number went up to 95%

[outer vessel]

use alt attacks on dueling swords, hitting the head interrupts them

bait their flurry attacks and back step. Psykers stun and stagger with a lot of their staff M2s.

[urban sandal]

depends on the weapons you're using

[hot zephyr]

Need a little gunpsyker input.
Thinking of swapping 4% crit for 25% to Unyielding on this. Thoughts? (I know I don't have dum-dum 4 yet, I r bad)

[spice veldt]

purg, you use the LMB on ragers to stagger them
trauma, just use the RMB

run smite or assail for groupwide stagger

[outer vessel]

Maniac is better.

For columnus, it's better since a hefty majority of specials are manaic class, so you can use it to deal with them faster.

Ragers included.

[hot zephyr]

I don't really need +% to maniacs with my build, I'm running Sail Gaze EP with Crit so my EP Assails clean up ragers, flamers, shoty/gunner packs, doggos, etc.

I feel like I'd rather have the burst DPS to mag dump and chunk a Plague Ogryn or whatever

and with a 79% roll on stopping power it's already doing really nice damage to unyielding base

[tulip kettle]

if its for killing monstrosities mainly then yes

[untold niche]

ew

[ornate hamlet]

[latent hill]

Hhh honestly, if it’ll get them to stop reusing them (I don’t mind it much but still) take the aquilas

[outer vessel]

Incredibly ugly.

[lethal lagoon]

This was my primary fit like 9-12 months ago 😅

[untold niche]

honestly the colours with the red stripes and the bald head just reminds me of a clown
im sorry

my fit now

[latent hill]

Is that the magnificus court rainment?

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like Psyker clown is a good fit haha

So no need to be sorry

Clown Academia Casual

[untold niche]

i can't

[untold niche]

oh mine? ya

i only bought that shirt off the set LOL

didnt even buy the set

i missed the outfit with full red

[latent hill]

I bought the whole damn thing tbh…

[untold niche]

bought this set which i regret
looks pretty bad on female

[latent hill]

I just like the thought of looking like some pompous individual

[untold niche]

you could have just bought the head then imo

the pants suck

[lethal lagoon]

Clown pants have the best butt on the fem psyker model

🤡

[latent hill]

🤷 idrc tbh

[lethal lagoon]

Also I think they are technically Mc hammer pants before clown

[untold niche]

@lethal lagoon you could get the rainment head for ultimate clown

[lethal lagoon]

I've honestly been thinking about it

[untold niche]

dude pls

dont screenshot that

[lethal lagoon]

but it just looks so bad I can't bring myself to buy it.

[untold niche]

fucking nightmare

isn't that the point

[lethal lagoon]

You really don't get the whole Clown Academia Casual style do you 🤡

[strange vault]

Any tips of how to unlock this penance?

[lethal lagoon]

Go brr and then yell?

(Cast something at 100% peril and stop the explosion with the yell)

[strange vault]

Ahh gotcha ty

[hot zephyr]

Make a Shriek + CDR Purgatus Build and just go over 100% every time it's off cooldown

[strange vault]

With this thing here, what does it mean by thresholds? I was hoping to get the purple one at the bottom for my outfit

[latent hill]

I suggest if you wanna get it done quickly use something with less warp resistance and get some warp charges

[lethal lagoon]

Do it three times basically, with different and often higher level penances

So you are on the first grouping

then a second

[hot zephyr]

Means you need to complete the highest level of every penance in that list.

[lethal lagoon]

then a third

[strange vault]

That makes sense

Anywhere I can see the full list of all those penances?

[lethal lagoon]

I think it's just do all the psyker class penances

[latent hill]

Complete the first threshold first

Then you’ll see the next list

[proud torrent]

If I'm only to use these two chain swords for killing monstrosities, which is the better choice?
I like the rolls of the first* chainsword, but I'm pretty certain the one of the right* is the superior chainsword.

[hot zephyr]

That particular list is going to take a while, there's some grindy ones in that list that will take a LOT of runs to do

[latent hill]

That’s supposing if you can get three enemies in a stack

[proud torrent]

had to edit at asterisks

[strange vault]

Damn, that's a shame

I do quite like the end reward helmet

[hot zephyr]

It's not like impossible. It just might take a while. It's a goal

[lethal lagoon]

A lot of them just come from natural playing.

[hot zephyr]

^^

[proud torrent]

For my purposes, does Wrath blessing really do anything?

[latent hill]

Cleave’s for hitting multiple enemies

[strange vault]

Here's what I got so far

[marsh prism]

Hey I think it doesn't look that bad, I do like the sleevlessness of it

[proud torrent]

Okay, so it doesn't. It's an inconsequential blessing for me

[lethal lagoon]

Lifeleech 3 is required and I think it's beat 100 mission on psyker

So no rush haha

[strange vault]

Rip

[proud torrent]

@latent hill I guess it's just the 8% to weakspot advantage vs all the other advantages of the other one. I have my answer then. Thanks for you input

[latent hill]

That’s got the whole killing monstrosity thing

Right?

[proud torrent]

huh?

I don't know what is meant by that

[untold niche]

the whole set looks pretty bland imo
i look like someone wearing an exo suit which is very anti thematic for me

[proud torrent]

Can you clarify?

[latent hill]

You want to use those swords to kill monstrosities

Correct?

[proud torrent]

Yeah

Basically my ranged does everything else, and the chainsword just has to do that and mutants.

They both kill mutants very well

[lethal lagoon]

Right is way better, no matter what you are doing.

[marsh prism]

fair enough, I just liked the purple so kinda built around that

(an older screenshot but still accurate cosmetics wise)

[proud torrent]

Really just killing monstrosities, so the weak spot perk was a clear advantage, but I think everything else just has too many advantages. I appreciate the advice

[latent hill]

It’s up to you really

[wide lake]

should I get this one? or the perk too borked up

[lethal lagoon]

Weak spot perk does nothing, fatshark math haha
And while we are on the topic, the crit damage perk also does nothing good

[proud torrent]

wtf? Okay, good to know

[latent hill]

I’d say the blessings are borked up

[lethal lagoon]

Sleeveless is nice

[lethal lagoon]

That's what we call maximum bork

[wide lake]

I thought the blessing was ok-ish at least the Riposte

[latent hill]

Dueling sword wise you want to get stuff that’ll kill elites pretty quickly

Say, @untold niche what’s a psykana collar?

[proud torrent]

Since the blessings are going to need both of your modifications, then I think the fact that you can't do carapace or flak as a perk makes it bad as a long term solution

[wide lake]

damn, well. keep waiting I suppose

thanks you all

[rose dagger]

precog is good

uncanny is the main thing you want

those perks brick it tho

[strange vault]

How good are the rolls on this purgatus staff?

[urban sandal]

not that good

you want burn and cloud radius as high as possible

[strange vault]

Gotcha gotcha, ty :)

[marble locust]

one day you might find something stupid but it's rare.

[ornate hamlet]

One day blazing spirit will be a good blessing

[worldly iron]

dafaq

it exist?

I thought max is 20%

[ornate hamlet]

it do

[nimble burrow]

that 1% will save you trust

[worldly iron]

yes

[urban sandal]

21% hp and 17% toughness are max but quite rare

[worldly iron]

thanks

Just wow

I got it now after a year of playing

[flat moat]

anyone have a good trauma build?

[nimble burrow]

playing psyker will give you plenty of trauma

[hushed egret]

cant run you throughg my passives since I turned off the game, but I run trauma with brain burst, empowered psionics, and the illisi with shout/dome shield; or smite, warp siphon, and mk4 rapier with shout

there's also some fire oriented trauma builds out there but I havent even gotten the blessing to try it yet

[plucky flax]

No really bad weapon especially blaze trauma

[lethal lagoon]

You were summoned

[strange vault]

So close...

[plucky flax]

I woke up from my slumber

[hushed egret]

so close to what

[strange vault]

Nothing

[hushed egret]

lmao

[strange vault]

LOL

But the burn is nice

[hushed egret]

[lethal lagoon]

Why go purg, when you can run the best build in the game Surge/EP Smite (I'm not kidding) (trust me) (really)
#psyker-class message

[strange vault]

Would love to make some kind of purgatus build

[lethal lagoon]

Or an even greater build

#1158835513789272126 message

🙂

[hushed egret]

I run my purgatus builds like I run my trauma builds: with brain burst or smite

[lethal lagoon]

Smite and Purg?

[plucky flax]

Do you smite more or purg more?

[hushed egret]

purg for crowd clear, smite for when purg genuinely isnt enough

[lethal lagoon]

I once queued with a smite/purger while running purg, it was comfy

For me, he seemed like he was having a bad time

[plucky flax]

Should have played smite only

[lethal lagoon]

OnlySmites

[hushed egret]

then my teammates never would have died

cant get hurt if everything is paralyzed

plus dome shield for additional fuck you

[lethal lagoon]

Your brain cells will definitely get hurt doing that

[stone canyon]

Does that Bloodthirsty get shared between Illisi and Deimos too?

And is it worth picking for special Illisi build (are those good?)

[lethal lagoon]

Si senor

To the first

I dunno about the second

[hushed egret]

bloodthirsty illisi might go crazy tbh

make it better for single target

pair it with superiority

I havent tried it yet, but I've thought about it. might not be top tier but I think it'd work kinda well tbh

[strange vault]

Flame stuff with purg then smite for +10% base damage

[hushed egret]

maybe not superiority but it woukd be funny

[strange vault]

Insane synergy

[lethal lagoon]

I think the +10% damage is bugged for right click

[hushed egret]

does it affect burn damage? havent been able to tell

[strange vault]

I would imagine it does

[lethal lagoon]

It should, but it only applies from left click

[strange vault]

Wow that's lame

[hushed egret]

I have psykhanium damage numbers and hard to tell which are from burn and which are smite

[lethal lagoon]

This is old knowledge btw, I have no idea if they ever fixed it.

At least I never saw it in patch notes

[hushed egret]

seems like something they might easily lump into "fixed multiple bugs"

right click still do enfeeble stuff though... right?

for everything else?

[stone canyon]

I guess i want Uncanny+Slaughterer for my first Illisi before i try some weird special setup

[lethal lagoon]

No clue what you mean

[hushed egret]

it still applies enfeeble?

the +10%?

[lethal lagoon]

No, that's the point.

Only works on left click

the singleish target one

[hushed egret]

so what you're telling me
I have another skill point to work with

[lethal lagoon]

+1 jump is honestly kind of unneeded too

I only take it on my EP smite build cause it's largely a braincell troll build that racks up insane damage numbers.

[hushed egret]

+1 is helpful for grabbing stragglers no?

[lethal lagoon]

You can spin around and reset the smitey to grab stragglies

Without breaking the cast

[hushed egret]

spinning doesnt really turn it tho

[lethal lagoon]

Spinning fast enough will break your "first target" and change it

And yeah it can turn

[hushed egret]

the cone doesnt turn with me whenever I do it unless the original cone has few enemies in it

or unless it turns by some other vague mechanic that's completely invisible

[lethal lagoon]

Also I mean +1 jump won't really grab people in the other direction either.

I just mean for reseting the "first target" in the direction you were shooting

[hushed egret]

it seems to help it jump to enemies beyond the cones aoe

[lethal lagoon]

Like if one get's past the first strands and runs towards you

I don't notice any real difference in the "final smite" so to speak

[hushed egret]

I didnt understand that

your last 3 messages

[lethal lagoon]

😅 I think that's on my part.

[hushed egret]

try again

or dont

your choice

I like smite so properly understanding how it turns would be nice

[lethal lagoon]

Just kinda of flick it and it'll retarget sometimes, I wonder if it's actually a bug related to the server cause it's way harder to do in the pysch.

Maybe I'm just crazy

[hushed egret]

it feels tied to whether it had enemies or not, or maybe charged smite has multiple "first targets" and when one of those "first targets" die it allows you to start the chain in a new direction

unfortunately the psykhanium cant really confirm that bevause you cant smite enemies and kill them individually

[lethal lagoon]

Ah you know

I think I'm out ranging them during my slide and spin, and one of the "first targets" then switches

Still useful info 😅

[hushed egret]

yeah I've realized you can move back or sideways to get enemies in the cone since it still originates from you

[lethal lagoon]

Dodge sliding during smite is super fun honestly

[hushed egret]

it's just really vague on how it works, and enemy resisyance to paralysis feels inconsistent to

sometimes I can stop ragers in their tracks, sometimes they power through like cops tasing a druggie

I need to sleep tho so enough smite talk

[lethal lagoon]

[feral knoll]

Any noteworthy weapons to bring if I try Assail Scrier’s?

[paper harbor]

Oh no not that

Oh no bro, assail Scrier

https://tenor.com/view/darktide-40k-psyker-explode-perils-gif-10586129510772702813

[feral knoll]

I too like to turn into a pipe bomb

[feral knoll]

Idk. I like easily getting the precision bonus form Scrier’s with Assail. But there’s prob a better way to do that

[paper harbor]

You could get keystone destiny something

That kill on marked target

Scrier gaze is melee kind

[feral knoll]

I lowkey just have been vibing with going all right side on the three

[paper harbor]

Just don’t shoot assail when you casted Scrier

[fair spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/league-pete-awkward-leave-gif-8165853

[paper harbor]

Bad ideas but risking

[restive slate]

Just go coke-diven micromanage mode with peril quelling and assailing while in Scryers Gaze

[paper harbor]

As long keep an eyes on peril rate

Tunnel vision doomed you

[latent hill]

I swear the skins…

[lethal lagoon]

I thought it'd be cool to put a force sword on my voidstrike, I literally couldn't tell which I had out

[restive slate]

Force sword on a staff ---> Force Spear

[fair spruce]

making mine a sawed off double barrel was the best worst idea I've had

[lethal lagoon]

Does it point upside down?

[fair spruce]

heh nope

[lethal lagoon]

That's fucking amazing

[fair spruce]

it's held correctly but obviously the staff animations

[lethal lagoon]

Ah yeah, unfortunatelly it's in a weird spot

[fair spruce]

if you use third person camera it all fits well enough

[latent hill]

Trust cousin okri to make the most curious of things

[lethal lagoon]

Nothing really looks good on voidstrike when you actually use it 😦

[fair spruce]

lil ash vs the evil dead, as a treat

Still probably my fav weapon custom

Fatshark give me a Surge themed set with a thammar staff ok

[restive slate]

Surge Hammer

[lethal lagoon]

Best part is the animation looks great with the thammer

[restive slate]

How so?

[hoary badge]

The special boop becomes a thundy bonk

[lethal lagoon]

It just charges up nicely, doesn't look out of place

Looks like a real skin

Quell too looks nice, I think, I don't completely remember, I stopped using weapon custom for a bit cause I was getting out of memeory stuff, reinstalled today

[plucky flax]

Real sedition gamer.

[lethal lagoon]

Was that even fun?

[plucky flax]

No but I am grinding contracts.

8 rounds played for the week.

Dunno why I'm doing contract I have 190k melk coins.

[restive slate]

Is it fixed now?

[lethal lagoon]

Seems like it

[lethal lagoon]

I spend melk like water

So no shot

[restive slate]

Gives you a semblance of purpose in this game

[lethal lagoon]

I have 0 self control

[restive slate]

I have nothing left to buy with Melks haha

[lethal lagoon]

There's always a what if next patch

[restive slate]

Bot better than me.

Rosine kinda op.

[lethal lagoon]

Kind of embarrassing ngl.

[plucky flax]

I should play a faster map but this is my last penance.

57 more repair missions

[lethal lagoon]

Imagine meeting someone else running sedition at 30

You know I never run malice anymore for contracts, cause I feel bad ruining new players experience. I never thought to drop all the way down

[plucky flax]

I use mmt anyway.

So I am solo. No griefing from my speedrun.

[lethal lagoon]

I think you can still quickplay into that, no?

[plucky flax]

Yeah perhaps but it's very rare.

Since the mission is delisted, quickplay should fill the other missions first.

[lethal lagoon]

Ahh, that's cool.

But then why seditation

[plucky flax]

I'm playing with no sound.

[lethal lagoon]

[noble copper]

does enfeeble work with smite rmb?

[lethal lagoon]

ᴵ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵏ ⁿᵒ ᵇᵘᵗ ᴵ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ˡᶦᵗᵉʳᵃˡˡʸ ⁿᵒ ᶦᵈᵉᵃ ᶦᶠ ᵗʰᵃᵗ'ˢ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ᵗʳᵘᵉ

[plucky flax]

According to showdebuff mod it doesn't.

[lethal lagoon]

the mod also shows that left causes multiple stacks?

I remember hearing that, never checked though cause I literally never use left click

[plucky flax]

No only 1 stack.

I will try smite spam with warp charges and battle med. Since my regular illisi surge smite build doesn't have batlte med.

Less smite damage but I think I can hold it longer via peril reduction.

[lethal lagoon]

But is holding longer a good thing

Helping teammates 🤢

[plucky flax]

Only smite.

More smite more win.

[lethal lagoon]

Till another psyker sneaks in a flaming shriek on your smited targets before you

[lethal lagoon]

Do 100% smite only and compare, this EP smite only.

I think it was a high int Magi.

I wanna do it again, but it's really hard to just smite one lone target 😖

[plucky flax]

Hrm just from testing in meat grinder. I can spam creeping flames way more frequent.

Even thought I can't afford warp battery for 6 stacks.

[lethal lagoon]

My biggest issue with EP smite is that if I get a few bad smites I'm basically stuck with warp charge smite but worse.

Or if I get intruppted on my last EP charge

[plucky flax]

Yeah sometimes I misclick and waste an ep charge.

[umbral helm]

cleared one of those 80k+ auric maelstroms tonight with my Wendy's Deepfryer (purg stick), just a solid team all around. pretty much no complaints about how it went

[cunning bone]

Correct me if im wrong, but brain burst cannot crit right?

Brain burst/brain rupture

[umbral helm]

I don't think so. think it just does the damage it does and the only way to make it do more is by generic/warp damage increases from whatever source

[cunning bone]

I want

[zenith vigil]

I spent like 20k plas, still can't find nexus 4 😢

[cunning bone]

Relatable

[plucky flax]

Maybe it's a meme build.

It's rending shockwave anyway blaze trauma is better.

[cunning bone]

I want to use blaze trauma but i cant get my paws on any tier warp nexus 😭

Meme or not, bro made it look cracked. His curios were poop though

[plucky flax]

He is a very good player.

[lethal lagoon]

BB and Dagger stacks true aim, maybe testing what it's like for trauma?

[plucky flax]

Though in term of psyker I'd put my name in there.

[lethal lagoon]

#1158835513789272126 message

I will point out, I'm not that good, I say dumb(wrong) shit constantly

At a certian amount of hours, stuff can just get weird

Like an LMB build seeming viable

[plucky flax]

Lmb only purga build I did for meme.

(It was bad)

[untold niche]

is there a premium staff skin?

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like that's more viable than lmb only trauma, at least people can inspect you in the lobby without leaving the room 😖

[plucky flax]

Run n gun purga is very meta yus people surely stay.

[lethal lagoon]

What is it, nexus and run n gun?

[plucky flax]

Yeah.

[lethal lagoon]

That's half meta

[plucky flax]

If surge has surge blessing, lmb with it would be kinda sick with nexus surge.

And so much crit chance.

[lethal lagoon]

I'd rather just have a normally functioning surge blessing if we are going what ifs for surge

[plucky flax]

Yeah honestly double rmb on surge would be cracked.

It'd do so well against crusher and monster.

[lethal lagoon]

If the second shot auto-targets another target after the first one dies

[plucky flax]

[lethal lagoon]

I really like that the general opinion is that surge sucks

Gimme buffs

[plucky flax]

Imagine if they buff surge next patch.

Ez staff made easier.

[lethal lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/unlimited-power-star-wars-gif-10270127

But like actually

[plucky flax]

But I reckon they might give trauma some buff since it's still a 'hard' to play staff.

[lethal lagoon]

[plucky flax]

Bigger radius for easier aiming.

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly, they should steal your crosshair

That would be a legitmate buff

[untold niche]

will void get buff?

[lethal lagoon]

Sure buddy 😄

Voidstrike must be so hard to balance since so many voidstrike users don't have surge.

[cunning bone]

Like ong 😭

Give me surge

Its been weeks

[lethal lagoon]

Make a second psyker for melk rolls

Name them OnlySmites, And Only smite

[cunning bone]

💀💀💀

[lethal lagoon]

(that's actually how I got surge blessing, btw)

[cunning bone]

Well shit

[lethal lagoon]

Not the smite part, but the alt psyker part

Onlysmites will be my 3rd psyker

[cunning bone]

I hate smite but might give that idea a try

[lethal lagoon]

TBF, the idea has nothing to do with smite.

[cunning bone]

Loo yeah yeah

[lethal lagoon]

It was fun actually

Leveling again with all the xboxies

Not as popular now, but still might be fun

Second-third character xboxies

[cunning bone]

Might name them OnlyBrainBurst instead

[plucky flax]

What crosshair?

[lethal lagoon]

Your trauma one

With the wide thingy

[lethal lagoon]

AssailNBattery I like a lot

[plucky flax]

Oh yeah.

I use crosshair remap mod for that.

Cos the charge bar being right next to the crosshair is sus af.

[lethal lagoon]

ImBursting

Here we go with the psyker names again

[lethal lagoon]

Your trauma looks really fun to use with the crosshair

Do you just use the mod or did you have to make like a preset seperately?

[plucky flax]

No just the mod.

Then go into mod menu and change it.

Mine is chevron ads charge up.

Nice cheat mods.

[lethal lagoon]

I have ALL healthbars on for EP smite btw

[cunning bone]

The names 😩

[cunning bone]

[lethal lagoon]

I was looking at talents to make sus, I feel like BeCalmingEruption is a sus name on its own

[plucky flax]

Gonna play smite only in melee scab only.

Using warp charges though.

[lethal lagoon]

Not-Sure did that

I really wanna see what you end up with

[plucky flax]

It's not auric maelstrom sadly.

Only regular mael.

So will be less elites.

[lethal lagoon]

Flaming shriek makes such a huge difference with smite though

I fee like there would be an actual balance problem if the avg smite spammer understood that 😖

[lethal lagoon]

@ me with the board. I believe in you(smite)

[dapper shadow]

Man I loooove blaze trauma in maelstrom melee only

actually brittle trauma is probably really good too considering the amount of crushers

[ornate hamlet]

Trying to get Warp Battery is going to drive me mental

[ionic frost]

HI shock troop

[ornate hamlet]

Tried, got 283 seconds at highest

[ionic frost]

But yeah it was easier when u could just brainburst poxwalkers to keep it up. =)

[ionic frost]

Gotta keep trying, maybe try a Discord group so someone doesn't steal a special/elite kill that u need.

[ornate hamlet]

I'm going to sleep and might try again tomorrow night lol

[ionic frost]

Or if you want to pub it maybe be rear guard so you kill the specials coming up from behind?

[ornate hamlet]

I'll give that a try. I've tried 4-5 different builds to really maximise it but haven't tried rear guard

[ionic frost]

Also, know you can hold right click to pre-charge a brain burst then use it on an elite...could counter the problem of those vets that like to shoot blue glowing heads. =)

[plucky flax]

Bruh a guy exploded a barrel to kill me.

Nice sabotage they don't want smite psyker.

[gloomy magnet]

i fear nothing ... except the barrel

[cunning bone]

W teammate fr

[lethal lagoon]

I had a good run going and they ran into a group of maulers like I was a warp charge smite-spammer and not an EP selfish basterd.

😖

[plucky flax]

Guy was so amazed by smite.

[magic hull]

is purgatus considered ranged damaged?

[plucky flax]

31 mins game. 63k overkill damage Xd

Somehow the trauma guy didn't kill more than me while I smited.

[lethal lagoon]

That was the warp charge only smite, hmm, I wish I could have gotton into that melee

I tried, but I got a death screen and then missed it

🥹

[plucky flax]

Yeah 4 warp charges.

6 would be real nice but not enough points.

[lethal lagoon]

I'm surprised warp charge smite did so much ranged damage honestly

Not even that many lesser enemy kills for an 800k either

Maybe it's better...

[plucky flax]

It's melee only so all these elites dude inflate the damage.

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah

[plucky flax]

It doesn't feel bad though to just spam smite.

And knowing that you won't waste ep charge.

[lethal lagoon]

That actually sounds really relaxing

[midnight jolt]

Get it (acquisitions) for uncanny strike 4?

[plucky flax]

It was until I got sabotaged.

I'm rendering that short meme clip.

[lethal lagoon]

You know the magi assassin elevator event?

Smiting the enemies in the stair area is sooo nice

[plucky flax]

Yeah I bet.

[lethal lagoon]

Like half of em just die on that second floor where no one can compete for damage

I like checking my damage after that event, cause I spike like 100-200k ahead.

[plucky flax]

Reddit most hated builds. Smite psyker and speedy knife zealot.

Both my favourite.

Does reddit hate smite?

I thought those bubble bois loved that shit, but the useless version that does no damage

[plucky flax]

I put smite on leddit search.

[lethal lagoon]

"mostly run a smite + shield build for my psyker"

Breh

Poor soul

[plucky flax]

Literally me.

[cold geode]

[lethal lagoon]

"1 poxwalker? Shocked."

Not me sir, not me

[leaden mulch]

what should i change ?
1 maniac for sure but which perk?

[plucky flax]

You still want uncanny for blessing.

[lethal lagoon]

Poxxies damage to maniac, specialist damage is also mutants

Eh you know

[leaden mulch]

stats is quite good but perk and blessing is not the best

[lethal lagoon]

With rampage, I don't know

Depends on which blessings you change

I would say figure out your blessing combo before changing perk

[leaden mulch]

I never use duling sword before but i heard it's good against mutant

[lethal lagoon]

It is, pokey poke

[plucky flax]

[midnight jolt]

it can rekt ragers and crushers when used correctly

[plucky flax]

#stopsmitehate

[leaden mulch]

should i change
1 melee gron-pox to and 1 blessing
or
2 blessing

[lethal lagoon]

I made an arugment how your average smite spammer forces your team to basically 3 man, I wonder if it spread 😅

Average smite spammer is a bubble boi though

[plucky flax]

Yeah not a fan of bubble smite.

[cold geode]

One of my smite spam games

[plucky flax]

Spread the words of smite!

[midnight jolt]

can I use smite with purge staff?

[lethal lagoon]

No.

[plucky flax]

@lethal lagoon judge for yourself if this is better than ep or not

[lethal lagoon]

Were you surging to keep up perfect timing stacks?

I was trying to swing my mk4, your way makes way more sense

[plucky flax]

For speed from mettle.

Gotta get close to them.

[lethal lagoon]

Also I feel like you misdescribed that barrel situation

[plucky flax]

Well I didn't hit it!

[lethal lagoon]

Him comically only hitting the barrel with a charged heavy was hilarious though

[plucky flax]

Bro out here hating on smiter for sure.

[midnight jolt]

yeah, I saw that, it was the blade from the guy meleing with you in and out 😂

[lethal lagoon]

Hmm, honestly watching it kinda feels like EP was better in my experience.

[midnight jolt]

he was helping

[plucky flax]

Yeah more damage vs more creeping flames.

More testing required.

[lethal lagoon]

I mean the question here is, what if your team has more DPS?

I feel like EP smite might have more potential in auric maels/t5s for that reason

Like with EP, you can definitely make people feel sadness when hordes come around

I feel like if you are going to try EP, try to do an Auric Magi assasin

All those choke points and set ups, it works so well.(or rather is fun as fuck lmao)

[plucky flax]

You still run charge on elite kill?

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like unless you are memeing and refusing to use surge to kill anything, elite kill is better.

Even then... hmm, EP Smite only;

You can kill shotgunner packs really fast

Ragers you have a good shot of killing if your team chips em a little

Gunners too, though people priority target gunnrs so it's a bit less likely

And I mean if you set PC off, you can end up going from last charge to 3 instantly

Bulwarks I get a lot of for some reason too

I guess if they have 1% health but have their shield up, people just ignore em

[plucky flax]

I shall look for magi assassin.

[lethal lagoon]

I dunno if you do it from that clip, but I like to turn a little sideways and dodge slide while smiting towards a group. Make sure I'm getting the whole conga line. It works really well since magi has those two major hallways.

You can straight up just forcefully push your group through that after second elevator area just dodge sliding forward

[hard widget]

is this any good? using purge staff

[lethal lagoon]

Some choices different than usual, but solid

[hard widget]

whats the usual

[lethal lagoon]

Quietutde > expen, 10% cooldown > 5% elite damage is my understanding

It's not a big deal at all.

Might even be better(ur way), who knows 🤷‍♂️

[plucky flax]

Cdr is very nice for the whole team. Not just yourself.

[hard widget]

I wanted empathic evasion, so I could pick it up, but I dunno what to drop

[plucky flax]

Toughness on peril gain.
