psyker-class

[earnest laurel]

If I dont do that, my whole team dies. Welcome to the average team buddy. I dont trust my team to hold off 4 ragers and 2 ogryns . I am going to smite them every time.

[flint plover]

Some say it's worthless, some say it's vital

[long wharf]

then you aren't smiting the horde, are you

[flint plover]

that's a mixed horde, which is different

[long wharf]

you're smiting the elites in the horde

different scenario

buddy.

[earnest laurel]

plus horde behind them is what I mean

[long wharf]

doesn't matter

the horde is incidental in your stated situation

[earnest laurel]

What difficulty are you playing? Because I have hordes spawning quite a bit.

[long wharf]

I play all of them

more often PUGs these days, as my regular group doesn't play Darktide so much any more

[earnest laurel]

Why dont they?

[latent hill]

Umm… I think the only unyeilding enemies are bulwarks so choose something else

[long wharf]

so, as I said before, smiting the horde is generally a waste of time when you could be killing it instead

holding a horde still so a teammate can kill it is a waste of time

[latent hill]

What about assailing the horde?

[long wharf]

and you're making it harder on the teammate because now the horde isn't coming to them

[long wharf]

what kind of question is that?

[latent hill]

You know, the assail blitz? Using that on the horde?

[flint plover]

god that's happened so many times. oh hey i have my horde clearing weapon out.. and they're all frozen in place spread out

[long wharf]

you haven't actually clarified anything

[latent hill]

Do you not know what assail is?

[umbral helm]

bulwarks, reapers and bosses are what unyielding applies to

[long wharf]

what kind of response are you expecting? "No, never use an attack to clear the horde"

[flint plover]

assail is good at horde clear, yes. try not to use it vs. carapace, because the assail projectiles get destroyed on contact

[latent hill]

Crushers do be sneaking quite a bit…

[lethal lagoon]

They run toward the front of a horde actively moving towards them, versus a spread out stationary horde that requires them to go further and further away.

There's a big diference between mowing the lawn and pulling weeds

[flint plover]

I also mean maulers, because the projectiles naturally seek weakpoints

[long wharf]

not only that, a player pushing into a horde is most often doing so at a chokepoint

[latent hill]

Oh for sure.

[flint plover]

"weak points"

[long wharf]

which means teammates will push past the chokepoint into the thick of the horde, getting themselves surrounded

[flint plover]

damn it assail projectile, go back to school

[lethal lagoon]

That said, you can absolutely horde clear with smite
But should you?

[harsh urchin]

You'll argue to the death right now

[long wharf]

the answer is - not if you have a working horde clear weapon

[harsh urchin]

But if you keep playing darktide once you start doing harder content

You'll see what they mean lol

[earnest laurel]

Bitch, I play auric only

[long wharf]

oh, spicy, aren't we

[harsh urchin]

Ye aurics are ez tho

[ornate hamlet]

Poxwalkers, the hardest enemy in the game. I don't know how teams survive when I run assail or brain burst

[harsh urchin]

I gave up on quickplaying aurics for the 10% extra loot

And now i only queue straight into histg and maels

[long wharf]

aurics aren't worth the time

they're fun with premades

[earnest laurel]

Auric maelstrom is what I meant

[harsh orchid]

ran into a lvl15 on an auric one time

[earnest laurel]

And see

with premades

this is what I mean

play with randoms for once

and see what I mean

exactly

[harsh urchin]

Well I queue witu randos

[earnest laurel]

knew it

[harsh urchin]

Lmao

[long wharf]

I PUG frequently? I said this already

[ornate hamlet]

I olay with randoms without smite all the time

[long wharf]

are your IQ points well below average?

[earnest laurel]

I higly doubt you do

[ornate hamlet]

My anecdotal evidence is better than yours because it's mine

[lethal lagoon]

Smite absolutely has no bearing on Auric mael success, you are having some serious main character syndrome

[earnest laurel]

Oh boy, an internet psychologist

you must feel very smart

[harsh urchin]

Look man, smite is good in certain situations when you need to hold a few crushers and maulers in place to buy space

[long wharf]

if nobody you play with ever tells you to stop freezing the horde so they can clear it easier, then you've been done a grave disservice

[harsh urchin]

But its completely trash 95% of the time

When people are using it all the time

It just makes things harder

And annoying

[long wharf]

smite is a noobtrap

except when used intelligently

[lethal lagoon]

Wait is main character syndrome an actual diagnosis?

[ornate hamlet]

Smite spam is the carpenter that uses a hammer for everything

[flint plover]

I mean, the few times I do run smite it can be very helpful vs crusher or mauler packs

[harsh urchin]

Ye i think its good

[flint plover]

and I've had scenarios where people look at 7 maulers and 4 crushers and just wet their pants, apparently

[harsh urchin]

But ppl who use it all game

As their primary skill

Just fucking suck

[long wharf]

I ran some damnations earlier today, and after a few surge staff runs, I went back to void

[midnight jolt]

Narcissus Selfisnuss?

[long wharf]

surge just doesn't feel good

[ornate hamlet]

Smite saves games, the problem is people who think the game needs to be saved every 5 seconds

[latent hill]

This is usually why I use the dueling sword

[lethal lagoon]

Everyone playing this game has some degree of "IamTheMainCharacter", and it tends to be more heavily featured on people thinking they are carrying the game with smite.

[latent hill]

Sticking to that most of the damn time these days

[long wharf]

"carrying"

[lethal lagoon]

You were too slow 🙂

[plucky flax]

Me idc what people run

[ornate hamlet]

At this point "support build" triggers me

[long wharf]

was I? 🙂

[flint plover]

the proper term is to be ego-centric. as in, the world revolves around you

[lethal lagoon]

Yes 🙂

[plucky flax]

Just enjoy the game lads

[long wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/next-time-gadget-dr-claw-gif-6931131038764098881

[lethal lagoon]

What if I don't want to

[plucky flax]

I will carry with surge smite

[latent hill]

Enjoying something in 40k is a damn luxury.

[lethal lagoon]

"I" is the main point there though

[flint plover]

i will only enjoy the game if you enjoy the game the same way i enjoy the game

[plucky flax]

Tru new contents when

[ornate hamlet]

I mean, I tolerate smite spam

[long wharf]

I ran with two groups that played pretty well, and for both of those games, I just wasn't killing elites with surge

[plucky flax]

I think I won't do contracts next week.

[ornate hamlet]

It's when I see them dying to basic shit or lacking any awareness that pisses me off

[rare arrow]

Smite/venting/surge is a fun build

[long wharf]

I'd get, at best, two full charges off and then a teammate would finish the enemy

[lethal lagoon]

It's way too fun.

The braincells die fast though

[long wharf]

surge needs to do more damage

and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't

[lethal lagoon]

I agree buff surge, it doesn't do enough

Buff it NOW

[long wharf]

"It's my damage, and I want it NOW!"

[plucky flax]

Stun set up against burgle blessed unstunnable enemies
https://youtu.be/J8JgIjm1FOI

[ornate hamlet]

Peoole using it are fine, but there are so many people believing they are smite gods and then fucking everything aside from holding RMB and LMB

[long wharf]

"Call 1-877-DPSNAOW for your damage, today!"

[ornate hamlet]

Certified training wheels moment

[lethal lagoon]

When the smite spammer with 200k damage backseats you at 600k after dying

[plucky flax]

Nono

[lethal lagoon]

Also I wanna run into another high DPS smite user, I've never seen anyone else get high damage with it.(in game)

[plucky flax]

Come

[ornate hamlet]

There was that annoying mouse guy

[rare arrow]

If you take venting your smite build can deal very respectable damage

Though, it’s not because of smite

[long wharf]

yeah, it's not a "smite build"

[lethal lagoon]

There's also me.

[ornate hamlet]

The one getting good damage with fire shriek and revolver

[lethal lagoon]

Actual smite build

[long wharf]

it's a "build up peril and vent" build

[lethal lagoon]

I meant in-game though

[rare arrow]

Yea and your options are to hold a lot of things in place while you build

Or a couple things

[ornate hamlet]

In-game they only show up once in my lobbies

[rare arrow]

Also, surge can’t one shot some specials with a high roll (though, does require crit)

Typically it’s 2 shots

[plucky flax]

Imagine if they buff surfe

[rare arrow]

But also taking the fire talents makes it pretty fun

[plucky flax]

That's a buff to me

[ornate hamlet]

Surfe

[rare arrow]

Remember when surge dipped into the buffs that hit smite?

[long wharf]

meanwhile, I can whip out my void staff and one-shot in the face multiple elites

[plucky flax]

My phone sus

[long wharf]

gunners

[rare arrow]

And smite was throwing 2-3ks around

[long wharf]

that was the only time the surge staff felt good to me since patch 13

[plucky flax]

Different playstyle I guess. I'd much rather play surge than void

[rare arrow]

Feels good to me now

I am a void staff promoter, but smite is still very good

[long wharf]

I want it to do more damage, so it doesn't take three charges to kill crushers, maulers, etc

taking two full charges to stun mutants works, but I'd be much happier with just one

[rare arrow]

3 charges for a crusher is probably fair

[long wharf]

the biggest problem is that the surge staff doesn't have a clear identity

[ornate hamlet]

Remember when it had a noticeably high modifier against flak and carapace?

[long wharf]

it's not a dps staff

[rare arrow]

They can’t move when it hits so I don’t think it needs to kill them faster

[plucky flax]

Smite so good guy sabotaged me with barrel
https://youtu.be/b657tHKOPcQ

[long wharf]

it's not a CC staff

it's not a burst damage staff

it jacks off all the trades

[rare arrow]

Your videos don’t load for me

[long wharf]

but never finishes

leaving you blueballed

[ornate hamlet]

It's an ezaim staff with some CC and some burst and fast charge

[long wharf]

I liked the CC surge staff pre-13

[rare arrow]

Right? It deals good damage is great cc and charges fast

Everyone liked the staff pre-13

[long wharf]

it's not "great" CC though

[rare arrow]

It was the only thing anyone used and hit 6 targets

[long wharf]

you can stun 2 things

2

[rare arrow]

3

[plucky flax]

It's okay it's just meme

[long wharf]

big whoop

[rare arrow]

Or 4 if the talent works for it, but 3 for sure.

[long wharf]

talents don't apply to surge staff any more

[rare arrow]

That’s 3 crusher, 3 rager, 3 bulwark etc while also killing them

[long wharf]

except you don't get to pick the extra targets

you can't make it 3 crushers if there are other enemies around them

[plucky flax]

I can't aim so I can't play void. Simple as

[long wharf]

it might be 3 crushers, it might be 1 crusher and two walkers

and when there are more than 3 things coming at you, stunning 3 out of 40 is almost pointless

that's why I call it poor CC

not to mention, you're only doing full damage to the primary target

half damage for each hop after

means you aren't even killing trash without critting on the second+ hop

on top of that, void can do something no other staff can do

stagger-lock bosses

there's so much opportunity cost to taking surge that it's just not worth it

not when I'm actually trying during a run

[ornate hamlet]

Is that for Malice or lower difficulty as well?

[long wharf]

what?

[ornate hamlet]

Oops lol wrong chat. Apologies. 😄

[lethal lagoon]

I think this is proof excessive smite use sabotages braincells Dodged back towards the exploding barrel.
Also, I can't get over how he literally only heavied the barrel.

[lethal lagoon]

Fatshark please read and buff my baby 🙂

[long wharf]

give surge a 25% damage buff

[lethal lagoon]

🙂

[long wharf]

to account for the fact that it doesn't cleave anything

[lethal lagoon]

That could potentially give it defacto one-shots for shotgunners and gunners

Which is a bit wild

[long wharf]

I'm okay with that

[umbral helm]

"got it boss, 25% increase to poxwalkers, now you can clear those hordes a little easier "

[long wharf]

classic FartShack

[lethal lagoon]

Was RadioShack a bad store?

I don't think I literally ever went to one

[long wharf]

depends on when you went

in its hayday, RadioShack had everything electronics

which was great

[lethal lagoon]

I lived next to a microcenter

[long wharf]

as they declined (online shopping became a thing), they began selling phones and phone plans

[flint plover]

circuit city!

[long wharf]

and it was straight downhill from there

I grew up 20 minutes from a Fry's Electronics in Cali

god I miss that place

[flint plover]

jealous. it was a 2 hour drive for me.

[lethal lagoon]

The apartment I grew up in was a 1 minute walk from a blockbusters

[long wharf]

many fond memories of going to Fry's

[flint plover]

renting n64 games

[lethal lagoon]

Sadge, I reinstalled custom weapon mod today and discovered it makes the surge staff lightning all wonky

[zinc phoenix]

Should start a site called OnlySmites

[rare arrow]

I only use the scoreboard mod

[zinc phoenix]

Idk why every smiter I see does one of two things:
* hold forever on everything including random pox walkers
* only smites against crushers even if it’s just one and they’re dead in seconds

Like, you can hold for a four beat and knock over literally everything except monstrosities or shove pox burster away from teammate safely or any number of other tricks

[rare arrow]

Four best?

I hold for a literal second to drop a horse

[lethal lagoon]

I just don't get why none of the smite spammers run flaming shriek

[rare arrow]

So many smite psyker take spite to 100%

[zinc phoenix]

“Bruh empower and shield sew gud”

[rare arrow]

Like if you had stopped early you could of had so much cc

[zinc phoenix]

🤦‍♀️

[rare arrow]

I run venting with smite

Though smites a small tool in that kit

[earnest laurel]

whats a good voidstrike build

only ones Ive seen are outdated

[rare arrow]

The void strike can go with any build

Staff is nuts

[lethal lagoon]

Probably anything with true Aim and Surge blessing

[harsh orchid]

Smite would be great if I could send it out in short bursts to stagger things around me so I can poke them but assail and shriek already do that better

[lethal lagoon]

If you have true aim and surge blessing, everything else is just kind of extras

[rare arrow]

Oh if you mean blessings then it’s warp nexus and either warp flurry or surge

And crit perk if you are going the surge build

[upper sun]

Where do i report bugs? the forum?

[rare arrow]

Idk I’ve never come across one that wasn’t posted on every site I’ve ever seen

[upper sun]

how the hell did i die here?

[feral verge]

skill issue

[lethal lagoon]

yeah, honestly, just a plain old skill issue

[upper sun]

:(((((((((((

[rare arrow]

Oh that’s not a bug

People who take a lot of wounds get 1 shot by the environment

[upper sun]

i had full health

[lethal lagoon]

You actually had 180/181 health 🤓

[upper sun]

😭

[lethal lagoon]

You playing a risky game keeping your health that low next to a med station and with a med pack

Skill issue 100%

[upper sun]

damn serves me right switching to money curios

[earnest laurel]

It could have maybe have something to do with your teammate, some kind of clipping

you were right next to him

[rare arrow]

The other one is a traitor

Also, why did you pull out assail at the beginning

You already had a staff out that deals with those enemies

[earnest laurel]

He is alpharius

[upper sun]

maybe the other psyker gave me depression and i killed myself

[upper sun]

eh its t1 i just wanted to clear quickly

[rare arrow]

I don’t actually know anything about warhammer other than Vt and DT. But I’m sure this was a dope reference

[earnest laurel]

It kinda was tbh

[earnest laurel]

I honestly dont even know how to explain it without going deep into lore

[lethal lagoon]

If you really care to inform em, probably make a reddit post with this video or something. That was really funny to watch btw.

Poof, sucked away by the warp

[rare arrow]

I’m here for it. I just don’t know where to get into the lore so I haven’t

[upper sun]

well im glad someones laughing i had the "no one die" weekly quest 🥹

[earnest laurel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyPjE1Sn-Ts

[upper sun]

i dont really use reddit maybe the technical support part of the forum

[earnest laurel]

Watch the series this guy makes

[lethal lagoon]

Oh was that beat the buzzer attempt to get the weekly in lmao

[upper sun]

devs seem to respond there

[white wolf]

https://tenor.com/view/vince-mcmahon-wwf-hmmm-im-waiting-gif-13421546

I personally never use trauma but

[ornate hamlet]

Run and gun

[rare arrow]

So close to being so good. Better nail those last 2 rolls

[white wolf]

this worth getting as well?

[midnight jolt]

Nice, stuck on a wall, thrown here

[runic python]

Oops, meant Vet channel

[rare arrow]

It's fine, certainly serviceable

[grizzled hearth]

Does soulblaze proc Thunderous on combat axes, or do you have to hit the enemy with the axe to debuff them?

[ornate hamlet]

Fuck shredder, nobody needs that lame shit

Actually, can psyker use chainaxes or just the swords?

[nimble burrow]

what does melk mean by this

[rose kite]

he wants to critically kiss you on the mouth

[nimble burrow]

[lethal lagoon]

Is a critical kiss instantly falling in love or instantly spreading an STD with just a kiss

[long wharf]

depends if it's a critical success or a critical failure

[rose kite]

depends.... do u want to kiss him back

[lethal lagoon]

Well I do like melk more than hadron

[long wharf]

it's only gay if you whisper sweet nothings into his ear

[rose kite]

kiss him

[north dock]

does penance completed upon finishing run, or anytime at the game ?

i wanna do the For the emperor one for cosmetic

[rose kite]

any time during the game

[north dock]

best map to do cliffhanger ?

push enemy off cliff

[rose kite]

idk i got that one on accident lol

there's some narrow bridges in the game...

[fast frost]

Drip rate from the council of psykers please?

[queen fog]

The counter intel mission’s pretty good since u got like 2 bridges to work with at the end section

[rose kite]

8/10 you do be psykin

[queen fog]

Hordes usually swarm down those

[north dock]

vent shriek doesnt exactly push right

[queen fog]

It does

[north dock]

u just push with block ?

[queen fog]

Do both

[rose kite]

it SHOULD

but i feel like this patch its pushback has been iffy

on crushers and maulers during attack animations

used to guarantee them fucking off but i've had them just ignore the stagger more than once in the last few weeks

really annoying

[north dock]

which map was it that u start at bridge

forgot

[rose kite]

i dont remember any of their names they're all insanely forgettable

this is cleo the headboomer

witness her

[fast frost]

The train station boss intercept you do

[rose kite]

my beautiful queen

[fast frost]

Looks rad. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that body

I’d like some more flowey stuff for psyker like proper robes

[north dock]

how do you make the eye glow

[rose kite]

it's still in the cosmetic shop i believe

those r my outfits

[rose kite]

i think it might've been from owning vermintide 2

no wait was that the orange one

[north dock]

i do own it

[rose kite]

fairly sure it's just an eye colour option you have then

time to visit krall

[north dock]

hmm ill check later ig

[kind wing]

Doing Crit with Scrier's Gaze, do I want to replace Rampage with Shred or too good to replace?

[crude cape]

does ghost on heavy laspistol let you not take dmg from a sniper shot?

[rose kite]

idk what that blessing is but theres a talent that lets you do the same after a crit

[queen fog]

Snipers are ranged so ye

Same reason why stuff like stripped down works

Run past gunfire, give em the business

[lethal lagoon]

Replace Rampage with shred and unarmored with maniac is what I'd do

Oh hmm, that's an mk5... uhhh, probably still the same.

[kind wing]

Is there a Dueling Sword that's generally better for hordes?

I'm more used to Mk5's gameplay

[opaque tendon]

jesus what's with all these weirdos binding tag to left click

[lethal lagoon]

I think technically 2? None of them are really what I'd describe as horde clear.

I do have an mk4 with shred rampage that clears horde fairly well, but it's really not meant for that.

[kind wing]

I see I see

[spice veldt]

mk2 is technically the hordeclear one yeah because of it's 2nd heavy, but I don't know how much better it is than just lightspam

[kind wing]

I'll stick to my MK5, best one I've used after some testing personally

I really wish this weapon was available to Zealots too but I guess we're too kill-happy to have some finesse

[sly comet]

8/10

Good color coordination. The only reason it's not a ten is because the mask looks too real. It doesn't fit the 40k aesthetic in my opinion. I really like the high collar look.

[lethal lagoon]

What about my Clown Academia Casual Psyker

[sly comet]

I'll throw my hat into the ring. I wanted an intimidating look that didn't rely on fancy threads. Rate my Psyker.

[lethal lagoon]

(also I didn't buy the scam set, this top is super old)

[kind wing]

God I wanna like Disrupt Destiny keystone but it's just so...

[sly comet]

He looks like a circus pirate. 5/10.

[kind wing]

Hm

Maybe I'm just not noticing the differences

[lethal lagoon]

The pants have a fairly hilarious contrast with the general color scheme of the game

[queen fog]

I got big bias on psi-veil very nice 7/10

[lethal lagoon]

Treat it like a mini-game

It's super fun

[kind wing]

Yeah fair

I think I just want it to have a bigger presence is all xd

[lethal lagoon]

15 stacks is pretty great on gunker

[kind wing]

Otherwise maybe I'm just too blind to notice that it's actually helping me do clear

[lethal lagoon]

Outside of gunker... mehish

[kind wing]

I'm running Cowboy setup with Scrier's Gaze and Assail

... And also an Agri Revolver

[spice veldt]

one day we will have a precision single target staff that can take advantage of DD

[kind wing]

Literally just an excuse for me to not play on Zealot for once and use a Dueling Sword tbh

GOD I'd pay such an embarrassing amount of money for Dueling Sword on Zealot

Please Fatshark ;-;

[lethal lagoon]

No

[kind wing]

I want my Saltzpyre Rapier

[vocal cliff]

AGEGEGEGEGE pain

[mighty olive]

love the steampunk look

[lethal lagoon]

Oh, I feel like that would look good with the glowing eye cosmetic

Nice set either way

[sly comet]

9/10
Good colors, and high collar.

[mighty olive]

this one or the one with the big floofy collar? lol

[lethal lagoon]

Oh I didn't know if the collar was from the top or the helmet

[sly comet]

This one I drop down to 7/10.

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, the goggles look better

[mighty olive]

i think so too XD

[sly comet]

Ech. 3/10

[lethal lagoon]

Not even my clown aesethic can handle the cookie psyker

[mighty olive]

LOL

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, my favorite part of these two tops is they come with a collar, so it makes a lot of helmet options look better.

I sometimes forget other sets don't have the collar on the top but the helmet

[vocal cliff]

I got like

One chest piece and a hat, nothing else involving psyker grabbed my attention too much

[lethal lagoon]

Did you buy that hat for 900 or 1400

[vocal cliff]

..1400

[lethal lagoon]

Fatshark

[vocal cliff]

It was worth it

[mighty olive]

the left one is so good, i agree!

[vocal cliff]

Only time I'll say it

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly, yeah I'd have bought even if I knew fatshark was getting one on me

[mighty olive]

is best hat!

[lethal lagoon]

And fatshark knows it 😡

[vocal cliff]

I missed it back when the Krieg psyker was around and 2 others so at least I got my chance finally

~~think you can tell which I bought ~~

At the time

[lethal lagoon]

I worry the price for the hat without the mask is gonna be 1800

[vocal cliff]

I hope not

[mighty olive]

probably, i really want a psi-veil without the mask XD

[lethal lagoon]

We all do

[mighty olive]

i'd probably never use another helmet if we get that

[vocal cliff]

Welp time to try BB

[lethal lagoon]

Which penance?

[vocal cliff]

Not doing any penance

[lethal lagoon]

[vocal cliff]

Just wanna give it a feel since it's the only blitz I haven't tried

[lethal lagoon]

It pairs with Purg or Blaze Trauma usually.

[vocal cliff]

I'll have to check if I have that

[mighty olive]

i like bb with purg build

[lethal lagoon]

My BB build

[mighty olive]

i use venting shriek

[lethal lagoon]

This isn't meant to be optimal, but rather a BB build

[kind wing]

Venting Shriek + Brain Burst is the classic pre-patch 13 Pysker

[lethal lagoon]

So double shields

[kind wing]

And my favorite one at that too

[lethal lagoon]

for double kinetic resonence

[kind wing]

Something about it just flows so naturally

The double shields is also a cool strat

[mighty olive]

i agree, i love it XD

[kind wing]

It's even better when you get to stop Specials from fucking up your Brain Burst antics xd

[lethal lagoon]

Popping a little shield in front of a shotgunner group before BBin them kinda flows just right.

[kind wing]

https://tenor.com/BNcB.gif

[lethal lagoon]

Flaming Shriek might be my favorite psyker "magic".

[vocal cliff]

I'll give this one a feel after my other one

Shit I forgot to check if I have a staff

Oh well already in the mal

[north dock]

purgatus dump stats is damage right ?

[lethal lagoon]

The damage did get buffed... but largely it's okay for damage, warp res, and quell spd to be 60ish

The staff isn't very taxing in terms of peril gen

[urban sandal]

I like having low warp res when using something like nexus

[north dock]

i think mine rn is around 48% dmg

but everything else is 76%+

[lethal lagoon]

Do you have one with higher dmg, just to compare rager kill spd or something in the pysch?

But worse other stats

[north dock]

well i can random craft one ig

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly, I'm sure that staff will work just fine though

[north dock]

i use warp flurry ++ nexus, so that quell speed/warp do be nice

[lethal lagoon]

uhh, are you doing the thing where you stack uncanny on your melee weapon after purging crushers?

[north dock]

dont think so

[lethal lagoon]

I'd swap the carpace to flak then

[strong gulch]

Oh blast radius. 🥲

[lethal lagoon]

I'd be scared to upgrade it just because I'd probably tear up a little if it was a Hadron sweep

[north dock]

79% dmg purgatus is only 33, mine is 29

[lethal lagoon]

Would make the imperfection of blast radius feel 10x worse

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah, just roll with yours, Ima do some damage testing cause I'm now curious how it actually functions.

Just change the carpace and you are gtg

[strong gulch]

I sold it. Don't worry, there way another that rolled transfer peril. So I lived the nightmare. 🥰

[north dock]

ill try flak instead of carapace

carapace is only crusher ?

[lethal lagoon]

Mauler helmets are too, but purg hits body.

So basically only crusher when it comes to purg

which purg does nothing

[north dock]

true

[lethal lagoon]

Ah, you know what, nvm

More testing, there's barely a difference

I guess the damage buff didn't affect the fact that the damage stat doesn't matter

So great purg staff you got there.

[strange vault]

Anywhere I can see the full list of penances required for the kinetic killer thing here? I would love to get that purple helmet

[tacit stump]

all penances under class psyker with lifeleech 3

[strange vault]

Ty ty

[tacit stump]

i think certain mission types where not needed

[lethal lagoon]

Nightmare? Or Dream

[strange vault]

How many matches is lifeleech 3 again?

[tacit stump]

would need to see

[urban sandal]

[potent echo]

Does transfer peril work on the melee hit

[tacit stump]

force swords have a similar perk

[lethal lagoon]

It better

[tacit stump]

100

[potent echo]

If they made a staff blessing that quelled 25% peril per melee hit

[lethal lagoon]

How to increase psyker down rate by 37.4% in one patch

Not a blesing though, just a change to the staff

[vocal cliff]

Enforced blitz mal

Should be fun

Yeah BB is fun

[lethal lagoon]

It does work

[rain minnow]

I did finally get the weapon I wanted from Brunt, but just made this to describe my experience with Melk so far:

[north dock]

definitely bigger number on auric damnation now with flak

[strong gulch]

If you quick swap, you might be able to crit from melee riposte.

Forget if that was patched out or not

[north dock]

look at them crit tho

[lethal lagoon]

If you think those crits are impressive, look at these crits.

Crit master right here

And those weaspots

[north dock]

dayum

[lethal lagoon]

I think there's only one way to have this damage with 0 weakspots and 0 crits

I guess if you got super lucky with grenade drops on Ogryn

[north dock]

purgatus in horde is fun

i can spin 360 spamming right click

warp flurry at work

and blind my whole team

[lethal lagoon]

Purg and Emphatic evasion, just casually burning a horde while half the map shoots at you

[urban sandal]

it do be the best horde clearing weapon

[north dock]

purgatus in dark maps tho

i am the light

[lethal lagoon]

There's a mod for changing purg flames if you are on PC btw

I like the nurgle spit

[north dock]

nah im fine with white

its like holy fire

[lethal lagoon]

I wish my eyes could handle that.

I do like the color, it just hurts lmao

[north dock]

need them lights in the dark

actual gandalf

maybe i should get empathic evasion

maybe more worth than soulstealer

i regen so fast toughness in my bubble anyway

i have like 90% toughness regen in curios

[lethal lagoon]

With purg, emphatic evasion is like full uptime

You can also try Flaming shriek for purg, get the damage up.

If you put max stacks on someone, flaming shriek will break the usual cap

[north dock]

nah, im fine with my bubble, i was actually trying to play support, but smite just suckass for me

[lethal lagoon]

The board I posted earlier was smite only

Smite is ass with bubble though

So good choice

[north dock]

yeah i want my bubble

[lethal lagoon]

Voidstrike is also really nice with bubble

[north dock]

i play brain rupture + bubble

with purgatus

with empowered psych

so i chain BR to specialist

i think its pretty nice

i can snipe shit with BR, bubble my team, and CC/dps with purgatus

[lethal lagoon]

Purg + BB is comfy

[north dock]

allaround

with how many elites/specialist in auric, the cd get reduced so much anyway

ah, i also added like 12% cd reduction on curios

so its like 30 sec cd on default rn without warp syphon

5 sec downtime, just 1/2 specialist kill and its up again

[cosmic sigil]

does any of you use assail with dd?

[lethal lagoon]

I have

The right click is nice for grabbing DDs

[cosmic sigil]

i only used it with ep and i wanted to change things

[half iron]

i see highlighted blue loser
i assail them

[vocal cliff]

That was fun

BB with enhanced blitz is nice

[lethal lagoon]

The french are good at removing heads 😨

[vocal cliff]

We have a knack for it

Can't say the same about white fire tho

Also I unintentionally got the chest piece I used to want badly

[lethal lagoon]

The cape looks so much cooler on other players than on yourself is my experience 😅

[vocal cliff]

Figured

It looks...yeah

[wide maple]

random drop

[vocal cliff]

Pretty nice

[wide maple]

I was expecting a small coinpurse

but nah, all them bars are full

[vocal cliff]

Wish it were a 4 tho

But that's just me

[wide maple]

yeah

this is the 4 i've been using

[vocal cliff]

Nice

Idk about rampage, never tried it

[wide maple]

Its nice for spamming lights into hordes

[vocal cliff]

Ah

[wide maple]

and I have yet to get riposte

[vocal cliff]

I like to run riposte

[wide maple]

also, holy shit the 5 is so slow

[vocal cliff]

Yeahh

[wide maple]

And does less damage

[vocal cliff]

I don't like the overhead

It reminds me of the helbore melees

Pretty good but then you get the outlier

[wide maple]

and the L3

[vocal cliff]

Yeah

[wide maple]

well it is a coinpurse, then

[vocal cliff]

Yeah, I used to run precog with the mk 4 but swapped to riposte

[latent hill]

I prefer using the dueling sword for specialists and elites

[vocal cliff]

Sidenote

[ornate hamlet]

Has anyone done the twins on hard as a Psyker?

[vocal cliff]

The illsi is weird

I like the deflector blessing

[analog agate]

Yes.

[vocal cliff]

But other than that it just feels basic

[wide maple]

I got really close once, but had to do it on zealot, cause zealot op

[ornate hamlet]

Good. So I just have to find a group then.

[ornate hamlet]

Bonking or support build?

[wide maple]

Crit evis

with some survival skill swaps

[latent hill]

Would the trauma staff work on the twins to stagger?

[analog agate]

Just make sure you are the only psyker. Psyker (besides columnus) can’t do enough boss dmg

[analog agate]

Yes, that is what i used. But used it for adds

[latent hill]

Even with shred and uncanny dueling?

[ornate hamlet]

Yeh. I just focus on the horde.

[wide maple]

Yeah, the psykers are mostly on special duty

[analog agate]

Even with those. Psyker is not meant for boss dps in that fight

[wide maple]

Just focus on keeping all the specials and hordes off your boss beaters

[latent hill]

Hmm…

Hhh, it’ll be hard to do for sure

[analog agate]

And boy will you have a lot of ragers/crushers/etc

[wide maple]

MAULER!

[analog agate]

Soooo many

[wide maple]

MAULER!

MAULER!

[latent hill]

Least I can three hit them to an extent…

Btw does the penance not trigger if you use the bells?

At spawn that is

[wide maple]

did you unlock the bells?

[analog agate]

It does. You don’t even have to unlock the bells. As long as someone in your party has them

[latent hill]

I’m just asking if it does or does not

[analog agate]

And then you will too

[latent hill]

If using the spawn bells would still allow me to complete the penances associated with that

[analog agate]

It does

[latent hill]

Can’t help but be sure

[wide maple]

the penances are just for beating the twins

you don't have to do the whole mission unless you want the resources, and you cant even do that with hardmode

[latent hill]

Well… I’ll maybe hit you two up

If you’re alright with us doing that

[analog agate]

Apparently you don’t even have to beat them on damn hard mode? As long as you attempted it on damn hard mode and then can beat them on a lower difficulty? I can’t confirm that works though

[wide maple]

Nope. Not doing that hell again.

[latent hill]

But I’ll be the only psyker in the group

Fair enough

[rose kite]

i wouldnt recommend psyker for hard mode twins sadly

doable most likely but vet/ogryn would be much easier

[wide maple]

My victory was by the sole survivor getting one last hit in

[latent hill]

My vet only has the agrippa

[analog agate]

We rolled them. One ogryn, 2 vets, and me as blaze trauma

[latent hill]

No good melees

[rose kite]

vet has good melees wat

[latent hill]

Blaze trauma?

[latent hill]

I don’t have them

[rose kite]

trauma staff and soulfire talents?

[analog agate]

Trauma staff with blazing spirit

[latent hill]

Well idk if you’re able to do another round of it, but if so, wouldn’t mind trying that out with the dueling sword I have

Just a thought.

[tame venture]

isn't this a pretty decent roll? if nothing else isn't hand cannon 4 important?

[rose kite]

u can definitely wait for higher stats than 355

and u want hand cannon + surgical

[tame venture]

i don't have any revolvers on psyker

and the only low stat is mobility, others are near max

[latent hill]

You’re better off giving that to hadron

[rose kite]

if u got melkbucks to spare I'd get it to earn the hand cannon blessing

ya

[tame venture]

buying it then

i can switch out stamina and sussy fire for better things, then grind it if i hate it

[latent hill]

Yeah I guess that works

[rose kite]

it'll definitely be servicable till you get a better one

[latent hill]

Funnily enough I have those on my 550 revolver for my vet

[rose kite]

replace 1.5 stam with unyielding or flak or something

[tame venture]

mobility being the only thing below par is fine i think

[latent hill]

Given that you’re likely to be doing a lot of close range Combat with it…

Well, that’s up to you

[strong gulch]

Def grab for hand cannon 4. For the agripinaa, hand cannon and sustained fire are the go to blessings. On the Zarona, hand cannon and surgical are the power house combo.

[cosmic sigil]

not on agri, you want crucian/point blank + hand cannon

[strong gulch]

yeah crucian is also good

[cosmic sigil]

or go sustained + hc if you can get crits easily

[tame venture]

well i stuck surgical 3 on it

[cosmic sigil]

surgical will only apply to the first shot

[harsh orchid]

it works on the other shots you just have to stop shooting

[strong gulch]

The two revolvers play rather differently.

Also, 1st AIMED shot.

[cosmic sigil]

i am a stan for speedloader + sustained fire tho it's so fun

[cosmic sigil]

on the fan revolver, yeah right

[tame venture]

well i can stick something else besides surgical if i get a better blessing

[cosmic sigil]

if you don't use it, better use a zarona

[harsh orchid]

atp if you're going to put surgical on an agri just run a zarona

[final bison]

Holy shot

I saw some dude Lindberg videos on meta payker tree analysis

Holy

Dude roasted asianrobot

And opened a whole new world

I mean i disnt test anything yet i gotta work

But woah

Made quite the case for gunker with scryer and destiny

[quaint drum]

Does anyone know if warp nexus blessing goes on Surge staff?

[runic hornet]

gunker is actually good yes

gets more stable gun damage bonuses than veteran, ironically

use a weapon that doesn't have ammo economy problems like infantry lasgun and you're off to the races

[final bison]

The way he explained it

[strong gulch]

You can offset ammo economy issues with assail. Gunker is psyker's biggest boss damage.

[final bison]

Its like its broken

Like op broken

Why the fuck did i waste all my resources

Oof

[strong gulch]

Yes. Nexus + flurry

You can find more info in the Atheneum up in the pins.

[final bison]

I was like yeah let me use rylen and asianrobot builds

And this dude is like they’re all trash and he is showing the numbers

[strong gulch]

You can do gunker quite well without SG too.

[final bison]

Woah

[quaint drum]

I definitely have level 4 blessing warp nexus redeemed, but i cant rebless it onto my staff and idk why

[final bison]

It is stored case by case

[runic hornet]

every staff is its own blessing category is why

[final bison]

You redeemed on other staff

[runic hornet]

so unless you've gotten SPECIFICALLY a surge staff with nexus 4

[strong gulch]

Keep in mind though, that it's also how you play.

But generally, Asian Robot isn't great for accurate info.

[quaint drum]

wait what

do i have to redeem it on a surge staff to put it on another surge

[runic hornet]

there's only one content creator currently pumpin stuff out I trust for opinions on balance/builds and that's telopots

everyone else is blowing smoke for content

[strong gulch]

Yes. Staves don't share a blessing pool.

[quaint drum]

Ty. also wow that sucks

[runic hornet]

HHs and helbore1 suck

[strong gulch]

Ryken is pretty good too. 👍

[runic hornet]

actual clown tier content creators

[strong gulch]

upvote on telopots

[harsh orchid]

headhunter is ass because I suck at managing recoil on anything other than a revolver

[quaint drum]

Ah well rip my plasteel, time to grind again

[lethal lagoon]

Do someone say clown

[runic hornet]

I remember another big CCer who was insisting that plasma was s-tier before it got its cleave and damage buff

yes, the plasma gun that stopped on one(1) trash arm, so you would shoot a rifleman and he wouldn't die because his arm took the hit

[ornate hamlet]

Where did you get those pants??

[plucky flax]

His latest trauma video ran tru aim. Real interesting.

[lethal lagoon]

Ronnie Coleman

Jokes aside, lemme go find the full set

[ornate hamlet]

Ty Ty

[strong gulch]

Is his name Rockzo and does he do cocaine?

[lethal lagoon]

To be clear, the set was like in the store 10+ months

Maybe it's time for a refresh 🤷‍♂️

[strong gulch]

Some Arco shit.

[ornate hamlet]

Dang it, I wanted a more jestery look to my Psyker and those pants are what I'm looking for

[lethal lagoon]

They also look really good on female psyker

[plucky flax]

It can't feel that good but if it works for him.

[lethal lagoon]

(I think he's just played enough and is good enough that literally anything works)

I never really thought about how melee racks up true aim

I guess if you swap enough it could be huge

[plucky flax]

Yeah but I'd rather just spam staff.

[runic hornet]

true aim on trauma is actually cracked

[strong gulch]

To be fair, Arco favors melee and was using it for CC and to set up melee.

Not for me tho unless I'm feeling weird.

[runic hornet]

5 melee headshots->fully charge trauma->big crit

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah but then I'd have to stop using trauma to melee

[plucky flax]

Not as cracked as just running blaze trauma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PRiD-sWsNQ

[runic hornet]

very relevant when you often mop up a bunch of trash (fully charge true aim)->get to the next big wave->start by hitting all the elites with a fully charged crit trauma

blaze trauma is funny but you have to give up brittleness since blaze trauma needs both blessings

and brittleness is huge for killing elite pulls

[plucky flax]

[runic hornet]

unless you're talking about just using soulfire shriek with a trauma stafff which has nothing to do with the trauma staff itself

[strong gulch]

If you feel like it, blazing spirit + rending shockwave and crits from true aim is a thing. More quick swap and melee focused tho.

[lethal lagoon]

Here's the full set, I'm not 100% sure that's headpiece, but the chest is definitely correct.

[plucky flax]

Yeah it's not part of the build at all.

Creeping flames not allowed.

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly doesn't fit well but when I saw those pants, I grabbed it

[runic hornet]

yeah blazing spirit with true aim crits is fucking hilarious

[strong gulch]

Those pants and chest def went together. I can't remember the head either tho.

[lethal lagoon]

One toliet bowl is as good as another 🤷‍♂️

I might not have even bought the head

It's slightly cheaper to skip the head

[strong gulch]

I don't think I did either. Get fecked memories.

[lethal lagoon]

Oh btw, I found something cool about smite only, it's the only high damage scoreboard with 0 weakspots and 0 crits

[plucky flax]

Confirmed OP

[lethal lagoon]

That's actually not true about the toilet bowls. Invest in a good one to avoid poseidon's kiss

[hot zephyr]

So Melk blessed me today with this:
Which has left me wondering. What talent build and melee weapon goes well with a Trauma staff? Technically the atheneum only shows blaze trauma and while it says you should choose a melee weapon with good mutant and monstrosity damage, it doesn't list any particular recommendations.

So, any shockwave trauma users here willing to share their build or melee weapon choice and why?

[potent echo]

I run duelling sword because speed

[lethal lagoon]

Blaze trauma means I am basically not using anything other than blaze trauma. So I like dagger for zoomies.

Or dueling sword yeah

The mutant problem is always present if your team is lagging

[potent echo]

You basically want a melee to kill mutants

And maybe some stray elites or small pockets of horde etc

[hot zephyr]

I'm looking to build shockwave trauma out of this one, but yeah I considered DS4, I just don't have a good one yet

[potent echo]

Chainsword works too

Rev it up baby

[strong gulch]

Trauma has CC and aoe. So something single target focused is going to round it out. DS4 is going to be the top rec.

[lethal lagoon]

I have a meta perfect shockwave the Emperor gave me. I was shocked.

Then I used it and understood.

[hot zephyr]

My changes will likely be
Crit -> Flak
Nexus -> Rending Shockwave

[lethal lagoon]

The emperor did not bless me

[strong gulch]

But there are various melee options that work well. DS4 is kinda the all arounder option.

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, like I said I don't have a DS4 yet, haven't been blessed. I could brunt roll a bunch but I'm not a plasteel farmer so I gotta be thrifty with my purchases

I do have a really nice Mark 13 Chainsword that's pretty nice tho

It one shots mutants with a heavy special, and functions great as a mobility stick with rev it up

[strong gulch]

Knife isn't bad boss damage, but is higher effort for other things.

Deimos is slower move speed, more utility, and can be finiky to use.

No experience on devil's claw or chainswords, but I hear good things.

[lethal lagoon]

Chainswords on mutants have that "Omae wa mou shindeiru" vibe

I fucking love it lmao

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, I love my mark 6 knife, it's great, but I'd ideally like something else just to give some variety

So I guess I'll keep an eye out for a DS4 as I have been for a while, just no luck

I do have this okish Illisi, but it's kinda not what trauma wants. I think this is going to end up paired in a pistol build.

What about Talents, what do you guys run with trauma?

[queen fog]

Rending shockwave and warp flurry

It good for armor and lotta enemies

Oh crap u said talents not blessing my fault

[hot zephyr]

Yeah, I was thinking at first maybe this is the build where you don't really need talents for trauma to work, and I could do a BREP build like this

crack some skulls, cause some earthquakes

[tidal scaffold]

what build/weapon combos do yall reccomend to make good use of Smite

[queen fog]

I like using EP with shriek to keep the smite flowing, warp charge works good too cuz of the warp resistance modifier

[lethal lagoon]

#psyker-class message

Surge Smite or why bother

[queen fog]

I like the touch of flame talents to it adds a lil extra damage on top the damage of the staff

[lethal lagoon]

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

[covert umbra]

Quesation as a new player, is Psyker supposed to move around randomly / not accept inputs?

Got my Zealot to level 30, no issues with inputs no random movement, all 4 games on my Psyker have them moving around randomly or not takking button inputs

[queen fog]

No that’s the power of latency

Either by wifi being fucky or the servers not enjoying modded broskis u can sometimes not be synced to the servers fully

[lethal lagoon]

I actually had this happen to me randomly

[queen fog]

Leading to enemies running through walls, other players moon walking midair, among other things like no reg shots

Which always sucks

[tidal scaffold]

thank you

I made my pskyer smol, and you can REALLY see it next to an ogryn

guess which one is me

[lethal lagoon]

If you want kinetic deflection on that build, remove mettle and one 15 toughness.

Can also grab wildfire instead of mettle, which is what I normally run nowadays

If you ever want to notice wildfire damage, turn on all healthbars, and flame shriek + smite the balcony on Magi assasin, the next wave of poxwalkers will sometimes have wildfire spread to them, and you can see the actual effect of wildfire.

[covert umbra]

Good to know it's just lag. Most likely because game is trying to find me level 4s and such.

[queen fog]

Yea i usually play on a desktop but recently I’ve had to play on my laptop instead

So I have a problem running 4s and 5s without lag issues

Like for 4s is ok, a few spikes here and there

But for 5 I might as well be in the rescuable state with how useless I’ll be role wise

[spice veldt]

no choice of ethernet even for your lappy?

[stone canyon]

Good enough to try out Trauma?

[spice veldt]

i've got my laptop hooked up to a dock with an ethernet port and boy do I not miss wifi

[lethal lagoon]

Blast radius could always be better, but the flak roll is meta

I'd fully upgrade that no matter the next rolls

[stone canyon]

Yeah 1/4 slots already filled in was what picked my attention besides all 70+

[strong gulch]

Since Atlas showed off the candy cane pants, I went and put mine on because lemming gonna lemming. I even got a complement on my outfit during a match.

[lethal lagoon]

Honestly those pants are peak psyker fit and no one can tell me otherwise

That and thunder hammer surge staff

[strong gulch]

They go with nothing and everything.

Candy cane is like leopard print.

[lethal lagoon]

A shame weapon custom mod makes the surge animation super weird

[strong gulch]

Yee.

[lethal lagoon]

I need to buy me a pair of gym pants that look like that

I had a stripped pair back in college, they are as flattering as they are silly.

[lethal lagoon]

It's time to 420 blaze up

[stone canyon]

2/4

[lethal lagoon]

A shame you can't grab that transfer peril for LMB staff builds

[stone canyon]

So Blazing Spirit and +5% for it?

[lethal lagoon]

Yeppers

[stone canyon]

Appears i dont have Blazing Spirit, well, someday ill finish it

[lethal lagoon]

Oof

Melk 🙏 we need you

Blazing spirit is pretty easy to roll thankfully

Or unthankfully(?), after all, it's easy to roll cause there's no tier 4

[strong gulch]

I have multiple good trauma staves, but none of them are prefect. One day I will get one. Until that day, I will be broke.

[brisk grove]

wow i just rolled this on my second try, trying to decide if it's any better than my current one though

[exotic mauve]

what perks / blessings are preferred for the trauma staff?

[strong gulch]

There the blazing spirit + nexus and flurry + rending shockwave builds.

There are a couple other non-meta options.

[exotic mauve]

is this salvageable?

[strong gulch]

For fire trauma you want flak + crit rate perks and blazing spirit + nexus blessings.

On the other one you want flak + maniac / carapace perks and flurry + rending shockwave blessings.

[strong gulch]

I'd swap terrible barrage for blazing spirit 3 and sprint to flak. Then you will have a fine staff.

[exotic mauve]

ok thanks

[brisk grove]

is there any benefit to going "+10% ranged damage vs groaners/poxwalkers" over "+25% damage vs unarmored"?

[strong gulch]

Play at higher peril to proc crits. Quell canceling will let you cast faster, but as a downside you can accidentally interrupt the cast and not doing anything.

[strong gulch]

Generally no.

On purg, neither are really of great benefit because purg either doesn't hit where the enemy is unarmored, it chews through hordes already, and you won't have access to a more useful perk.

[brisk grove]

but aren't horde enemies unarmored in general

[lethal lagoon]

unarmored and infested.

[strong gulch]

Which SB melts. There are the bruisers too with flak center mass.

[brisk grove]

i already have flak dmg on it

[strong gulch]

But that's where purg hits.

[exotic mauve]

this is my other staff

[lethal lagoon]

Flak +5% crit then

Perfect setup

[strong gulch]

Purg wants flak and crit chance yee

[strong gulch]

RIP SURGE on trauma

[exotic mauve]

ok 😦

[lethal lagoon]

#1158835513789272126 message

You can do it, I believe in YOU

[strong gulch]

I mean rest in peace. Surge on trauma doesn't affect the LMB sadly.

I am sureg you can still blast some foots with it anyways.

[lethal lagoon]

Or you can use Trauma but only left click

[strong gulch]

Don't need perfect weapons to play this game, but dang I want them.

LMB mains

[jade elbow]

Does anyone know a good build for doing the warp battery penance

[lethal lagoon]

I feel like that's the entire end-game though lmao

[lethal lagoon]

There really isn't one lmao. It's more about map choice.

[strong gulch]

My precious + magpie brain.

[lethal lagoon]

That said, revolver is great for getting those warp charges

Void and Surge work too if your aim is more wonky

Purg with 10% soulblaze warp charge is also an option

Also keep in mind you don't need the warp battery(6 stacks) talent.

Also keep in mind all psyker penances are easier to do as an experienced level 30.

Auric t4/t5s are better for warp battery for example

[quartz barn]

Dont know if it still works this way, but cant you just walk through a lvl and only use brainburst

[jade elbow]

Oh okay what about maps because I go on one I feel like I barely see anything

[quartz barn]

Thats how i got it before the class tree changes

[lethal lagoon]

If that's the issue you gotta wait till you can do higher difficulty lmao

[jade elbow]

I am already level 30

[strong gulch]

You don't get WC stacks from BB kills directly anymore.

[quartz barn]

Sadge

[lethal lagoon]

Try an Auric Magistratti

[quartz barn]

Oh well i feel like you can just get that penance passively if you run higher end content without using your ability

So you dont consume stacks

[jade elbow]

I thought you had to use your abilities to build it up

[lethal lagoon]

Using "F" depletes your warp stacks

[jade elbow]

I play on Xbox

[lethal lagoon]

Using the Yell, Bubble or Scrier's Gaze depletes your warp stacks

[quartz barn]

Consumes them to lower the cd of the next cast

[jade elbow]

I did not know that

[lethal lagoon]

Gotta read the tooltips haha

[quartz barn]

Thats the tradeoff

Either keep them up for extra dmg or consume them for ability cd

Tldr run void to kill stuff before anyone else can and dont use abil for free penance

[jade elbow]

What does tldr mean

[spice veldt]

too long, didn't read

usually used to indicate a summary

[jade elbow]

Oh

What blitz is most efficient for it

[sullen bobcat]

For voidstrike?

Anything. You end up literally using nothing but void strike

I only have smite equipped to just get to the nodes I want

[quartz barn]

I have bb just for the passive use on melee, works for me because i barely melee as is so its more consistent

Pretty much guaranteed on the enemy id want to use it on since i just use void vs hordes, even in melee range

What a bb

[sullen bobcat]

Brain burst

Or whatever the new name is

[jade elbow]

Oh

[sullen bobcat]

Everyone still calls it bb

[queen fog]

I think new name is Brain rupture

[brisk grove]

i think i've hit a new record with purgatus staff: 929 ranged kills and 4 melee kills

[static needle]

Can running a chainsword be a good choice for psyker?

Or like, any weapon besides duelling sword?

or force sword?

[brisk grove]

i've always run catachan mk1 with psyker, the heavy attacks are good for sweeping hordes and bonking elites

[static needle]

ive heard the mk 4 is best tho

[brisk grove]

i think it does more damage but i don't like the attack pattern

mk1 has served me well many times

[vestal fulcrum]

Rev it Up can make chainsword a mobility stick

But it’s quite awkward

Otherwise, Bloodletter alongside Rev can also be used to just quickly apply high bleed to something

[static needle]

yeah but like... is there anything comparatively good to use than a force sword or DS?

[vestal fulcrum]

No

[static needle]

yikes

[vestal fulcrum]

Not really

[static needle]

like.... why would you use a catachan mk I when you can always have an illisi

lol

literally does the same thing and more, and better

[vestal fulcrum]

Unless you want to horde clear on the Chsword, which is a bad idea, considering that there is a better weapon for the role

[static needle]

hmmm i mean

is illisi better for single target or new chainsword?

[vestal fulcrum]

Illisi is more complex than Csword 1, though

[vestal fulcrum]

I don’t know, but Illisi is probably the winner if you use the special imbue attack a lot

[static needle]

complexity of use isnt really an issue for me lol

[vestal fulcrum]

Chsword locks you into place when performing the Rev, which can be dangerous, and Illisi allows you to dodge at will

[static needle]

not the new chainsword

[brisk grove]

https://streamable.com/4pig1x realistically though all i use my mk1 for these days is this...

[exotic mauve]

tried your build# , never thought that LMB spam could be this effective .

[vestal fulcrum]

I don't see what you mean - both chsword variants lock you into the same revving action when you hit your special attack on an enemy

[lethal lagoon]

This makes me pretty happy.

[brisk grove]

i thought "revving" implied the charging animation not the attack animation

[lethal lagoon]

I'm glad you could make it work

[outer vessel]

Eh don't listen to em, you can still make a chainsword or a combat axe really good on psyker

but for the most point, using melee is a last ditch effort to get something off of you, and its typically your melee range option to execute an armored enemy or certain specials that are asking to get head-sniped

[ornate hamlet]

Nothing makes a man happier than dodging a mutant and immediately connecting a killing blow

[exotic mauve]

at first I blew up 5 times before I got the hang of it

[ornate hamlet]

Bonus points if the ragdoll does a funny

[outer vessel]

i love farming ragdoll kills lol

[ornate hamlet]

Like when you slap a mutant with a thunder hammer and it does a backflip

[brisk grove]

ikr, especially one-shotting it with a thunder hammer

[outer vessel]

the best ones are on mutants that are mid charge, or a dog that is mid sprint/pounce

[ornate hamlet]

Or the infinitely coveted

The rocket dog

[lethal lagoon]

LMB use with Scrier's Gaze is a bit tough to get used to yeah

[brisk grove]

one time i did that with a hound and it left this plane of reality

[ornate hamlet]

Where you dodge right and slam a sweep on the dog's ass

And combine the momentum of the blow with that of the pounce

[outer vessel]

brain bursted one that was trying to jump off a wall and it got NASA'd into the stratosphere

[lethal lagoon]

Just to be clear, it is a meme/fun build. Not super optimal. But it gave me a new apperication for when to use LMB on staves.
The scoreboard attached to the build is LMB only though

[ornate hamlet]

Poxhound? How about poxhouston

[dapper shadow]

I WANT TO TRY IT

[outer vessel]

SPeaking of staff lmb, they could def use some alternatives

[static needle]

why not run -20% peril gen node?

[ornate hamlet]

Dog ragdolls are probably the best tbh

They're randomly so exaggerated

[lethal lagoon]

Finesse lets you one shot gunners

Stacks*

[static needle]

as is every dog animation lol

[dapper shadow]

is the build in the psyker thread?

[ornate hamlet]

You'll do something completely ordinary and the dog will ricochet off a crate and fly into the ozone layer

I've been really wondering how much more effective brittleness would be on trauma...I have t4 for it

but I really can't say it's better than flurry

[brisk grove]

sorry i can't see the dogs in the cloud of flame, but i can hear 20 of them dying at once

[static needle]

If I were to buy this, what do i change on it?

[ornate hamlet]

The dog turning 90(0) degrees to pounce at you

[dapper shadow]

do staff lmb do different damage numbers

or are they all the same

[ornate hamlet]

[outer vessel]

ah yeah, the spin-dogs that do 720s before trying to lock on to someone

lol

Only thing I don't like about dogs is stagger inconsistency

[lethal lagoon]

Surge has more crit and slightly more crit damage(doesn't matter)

[static needle]

hate that shit, happened to me with a nurgle dog yesterday, was furious 🤬

[lethal lagoon]

But Void and Trauma have Surge blesing

[dapper shadow]

hrm

[lethal lagoon]

and transfer peril
