Yes lmao. Or the boss randomly switches aggro to you and chases you from the across the map. Like breh, I didn't do anything.
I wonder if the bosses use fatshark's damage data to aggro the top overall damage/kill player. The game does have data tracking for a scoreboard after all, even though it doesn't show up.
Cause I feel like I get unfair amounts of aggro from the buggers
lethal lagoon
I mean DH second target is definitely the player who deals the most damage to it, so random is unlikely.
hoary badge
Most bosses just hard focuses on the biggest damage dealer to it, even moreso if they remain in close proximity
lethal lagoon
What about the POg or the Chaos spawn that runs across the map to grab little old me and never let go
hoary badge
Spawn kinda does whatever it wants as long as targets are within proximity
If it's anything like rat ogre mechanics the Plogryns should drop their threat value on players they've yeeted with an uppercut
Or stomp I guess but usually those have a 90% ledging rate so aggro is going to swap regardless

SO question about the talents for "soulblaze on special/elite kill" and "soulblaze spreads on death", they only really work when using the purge staff? the stacks are just way to low to do damage by themself, and don't even seem to stack (having two enemies with >4stacks die, doesnt mean nearby enemies get 8stacks, seems to stay at the max 4). So damage is abysmal, but with the purge staff you get a nice head start for purge staff, since stacks deal exponentially more damage the more you have

If they sold the recolor for cash then I’d give your arguement some merit
Make a hard penance and sell us the recolor. But they don’t, they made toxic penances and offer us the ability to buy recolors for earnable currency.
I don’t even mind skins. I love chasing them and have spent a lot of money on cosmetics (thanks LoL, CSGO, and DotA)
My problem now is their prices are nuts and NOW they are doing some malicious shit.
Sell us all the scion gear for a crazy price and put the helmet that obviously goes with it for 1400 Aquila and not as part of the set? That was intentional
willow hazel
Believe it or not you don't actually need to buy any cosmetics
vocal cliff
Yes but you are still allowed to make an opinion on the matter even if you don't plan on buying them
rare arrow
I don’t mind buying cosmetics. I have a baseline for games that I expect X amount of enjoyment for my Y amount of dollars
DT has met that by a lot
I’d happily give them more money
IF they weren’t participating in some shady stuff now
But they didn’t do that early. All cosmetic drops were new, reasonable, and sets were together

i would get cosmetics but theres not much that i actually like i just baught the artesian set

Tbh I don't like it either
rare arrow
I think it’s the coolest of our 3 blitz
Not always my favorite to use but it’s very good and versatile
And feels sweet to use imo.
Assail+ EP was the first setup I started hitting 1m damage with.
steep estuary
Headburst is solid single target damage and assail does great CC. Smite also certainly does things. Idk, if it doesn't kill things my teammates always run off and never deal with the stunned enemies who are vulnerable to damage
Empowered Psyonics
latent hill
Oh, right… The one where you don’t use up a shard
steep estuary
Free shard that does more damage
latent hill
And it increases damage and doesn’t increase peril
steep estuary
Flinging 13 shards in a pinch can be nice
steep estuary
Well, it could end up being a bit more since one or two will recharge before you run out
opaque charm
EP is good, but Disrupt Destiny has really brought my Assail game to new heights
steep estuary
Disrupt destiny is cool, but again teammates just massacre things so I just go with something I can manage by my self regardless
latent hill
I’ve try to try that myself
steep estuary
I'm gonna try out a brain burst build when I get out of bed
latent hill
Hell I’ve made use of warp charges with assail

If you right click aim with Assail you will have an easier time getting DD stacks and any damage on a highlighted target will refresh your stacks
rare arrow
Is that somethin related to soulblaze?
Middle keystone, empowered psionics

Smol keystone
rare arrow
At least 13 no?
I’ve thrown 20 consecutive darts before
You find a pack of elites and each one of those are another dart
steep estuary
What all can reduce cool down besides the one talent?
rare arrow
5 shot gunners spawn, 4 darts kills 3 shot gunners, which give 3 darts back and these darts kill faster
The right talent resets on elite kill
quick python
redditors probably hate assail because of how annoying and prevalent it was during patch 13
rare arrow
Also you get a % chance on any kill to get one back
rare arrow
redditors probably hate assail because of how annoying and prevalent it was duri...
Pre nerf it was obnoxious, you didn’t even have to stop using it
Was infinite

ik
rare arrow
Yea so you’re probably right there
opaque charm
redditors probably hate assail because of how annoying and prevalent it was duri...
Yeah but two nerfs since then and I rarely see it in Damnation+ now
steep estuary
Guaranteed EP on elite kill +7.5% on any is more reliable than 12.5% on anything imo
QP?

Yeah in solo que I'm rarely seeing others run it
rare arrow
I was one of the Assail Voidstrike QP menaces
I too was an assail, Voidstrike user lol

Yeah but two nerfs since then and I rarely see it in Damnation+ now
It’s still very viable. I use it from time to time
I see a lot of smite

I still do voidstrike assail, did I miss a memo?
latent hill
Idk

A lot of bad players just holding smite then quelling and probably thinking they’re doing well
rare arrow
I still do voidstrike assail, did I miss a memo?
Nah, both of my assail builds run voidstrike still
quick python
I still do voidstrike assail, did I miss a memo?
on patch 13 voidstrike could 1 shot anything that wasn't a monster or a mutie
rare arrow
It’s not as strong now but still very good
steep estuary
Oh how we've been reduced
quick python
so you would spam assail
rare arrow
It used to be OP, but now there are other build patterns
quick python
and anything that resistsed assail you would voidstrike
rare arrow
Oh how we've been reduced
Also the cooldown was shorter so you had infinite darts
quick python
and slide into a victory screen
steep estuary
Assail was almost a primary weapon yeah I remember that when I first started
rare arrow
Add DS4 for close range and a bubble shield to nullify or correct bad positioning and you had a free win build
steep estuary
Oh that's your video

You just grab EP and now it’s your main weapon

Honestly I wanna try assail revolver. Gun psyker look strong

It's a lot of fun

Yee haw partner beloved

It kills everything but crushers, reapers, maulers, muties, bulwarks

Yeah because people don't know how to make it good in Damnation
marble crater
Can be good to take out snipers, bombers and gunners
steep estuary
I save it for hoards of soft enemies to thin things out. Saving up EP, and having high peril makes it solid enough for other applications though, like an accurate dart on some specials. Otherwise im blasting voidstrike, and dancing in melee.
mighty olive
is it just a backup ranged weapon to spam into a mixed horde?
I use it for gunners, to quickly clear hordes, I use it to snipe a special out in thr crowd, pair it with true aim talent and it'll make your void instant crit
Or assail crits
steep estuary
Then venting shriek when I fuck up lmao
marble crater
When you kill too much, too fast you mean. It's not fucking up
steep estuary
I bungle peril management I mean XD

deimos = penis sword

I still use illusi with surge and trauma

Mk3?

deimos = penis sword
I like the stab stab of the deimos ok? Good damage ;-;
mighty olive
Think I gotta screenshot of it, lemme look
prime elk
mk6 is the new one
peak kelp
its very phallic
steep estuary
I do not like the deimos Barbs it looks silly
long wharf
All swords are "phallic" when you live in the gutter
mighty olive
peak kelp
the real world application of the deimos sword would be stupid... like is the purpose to get your sword stuck in the enemy?
steep estuary
I mean it would prolly be more to hook onto things and keep people away over actually stabbing?
plucky flax
That design is for thrusting.
steep estuary
Oh?
long wharf
It makes pulling it out more painful.
Are we doing phrasing?
latent hill
Are we doing phrasing?
I mean, with the above post, it kinda came with it.
steep estuary
peak kelp
most swords are generally used for thrusting over swinging
plucky flax
Thrust, twist then pull. Extremely large and painful hole.
long wharf
most swords are generally used for thrusting over swinging
Historically, this isn't true
peak kelp
or thrust and your sword is now stuck in the enemy and you lose it
peak kelp
Historically, this isn't true
what do you mean historically it isnt true
long wharf
The biggest reason to use a sword is to swing it
peak kelp
nah
long wharf
Hence the long cutting edges
peak kelp
roman sword is a thusting sword, that is a huge chunk of history
mighty olive
long wharf
Otherwise, you could just use a spear or a knife
strange vault
most swords are generally used for thrusting over swinging
peak kelp
as armor got better swinging swords became useless
steep estuary
Gladii had vicious chops, zweihander sized swords were best used with very wide swings
peak kelp
and they became more about thrusting
steep estuary
Romans thrusted with gladii because it minimized exposure with their formations too
peak kelp
you guys watch too many movies
gladius was a thusting sword plain and simple
just because you could swing it didnt change that fact
long wharf
I watch far too many historical shows and knife competitions
strange vault
That's one specific example, you were saying all swords
peak kelp
I didnt say "all swords"
steep estuary
Its broad blade lends well to very good chops, but yes it is primarily a thruster
plucky flax
Forged in Fire
strange vault
steep estuary
I personally dislike sabres and scimitars, idk too blade heavy for me
long wharf
Having a wide front of the blade is specifically to give the swinging tip of the blade mass for follow through and penetration
steep estuary
I personally dislike sabres and scimitars, idk too blade heavy for me
Entirely possible ive only handled ones I dont like though
peak kelp
yes the real practical application of the demios head would be a swinging head like a psuedo axe head, but thrusting it would be counter intiuitive
long wharf
Swords designed for stabbing are optimized for weight at the handle
steep estuary
Yeah force = mass x acceleration, so you want to keep a heavy thing moving to hit things hard. Maces go woosh
long wharf
Also, the best Forged in Fire was with the original host

See a lot of gunners, shield. See a lot of ragers, maulers, crushers, smite.
Don't smite random hordes, people will hate you, especially zealots

the main issue being, zealots like to cleave, and if you smite, things stay spread out
called toughness starvation

Also having to run to every enemy, getting further and further away from the rest of the team

i always run guns that can comfortably shoot at hordes for that reason
though i haven't been seeing smite psykers in the last two days so I've just been having fun shooting hordes

That said, I think I would still rather have someone who smites too much than someone who doesn't smite when it matters
prime elk
idk about that

smiting too much turns it into a snoozefest at which point I consider quitting

anyone got advice how to do ''Cliffhanger'' penance?
Make a special talent build for it, making sure you don't take the damage-dealing talents like creeping flames, and then there's a couple good spots for it in certain missions. iirc got mine on the mission where you are uploading false data to the array during the final defense sequence where there's multiple bridges where you can knock off hordes easily.

peak kelp
what else should i change
wanton lagoon
can smite not crit?
hot zephyr
what else should i change
Riposte vs Uncanny is tough call. The general recommendation would be to replace riposte with uncanny strike, but you don't have to do that. It's honestly good as is.
peak kelp
why would you need rending on the sword?
hot zephyr
I would check if you can one-shot a mutant with the heavy and if so, that's good enough
willow hazel
to twoshot crushers
hot zephyr
why would you need rending on the sword?
Rending damage is calculated into the same strike. So it's basically just a big damage boost.
harsh urchin
Mainly cuz uncanny is overtuned currently
Numbers wise
It's like old pinning fire
peak kelp
this is my crusher killer
harsh urchin
Sure you don't have to use it but it'd be stupid not to
peak kelp
riposte to uncanny?
hot zephyr
Yeah, honestly it's over-recommended. You don't need uncanny strike, it's just the meta blessing on things that can get it for psyker
hot zephyr
riposte to uncanny?
You can, but honestly you don't have to. Riposte + Shred is very very good
harsh urchin
Yeah, honestly it's over-recommended. You don't _need_ uncanny strike, it's just...
I don't think it is lol
Its simply the strongest blessing in the game rn
Theres no reason to not use it
If its available
peak kelp
I have uncanny 3
vocal cliff
That'll work
hot zephyr
yes, that's what I mean. Uncanny is very good, and you could go riposte -> uncanny and it'll feel really good

Should I change maniacs to 5% crit melee chance?
it would potentially give me 50% dmg
peak kelp
keep maniacs imo

Should I change maniacs to 5% crit melee chance?
No, keep maniacs, you want a DS4 to kill mutants and crushers, you're setup to do that perfectly imo
midnight jolt
what is the point of the alt fire on this sword
oh, the most OP thing of any melee weapon, it staggers crushers and the like on heatshot
rare arrow
what is the point of the alt fire on this sword
Staggers everything
Staggers crushers
hot zephyr
what is the point of the alt fire on this sword
immense stagger value
midnight jolt
and it can insert a hit in between 2 light attacks
midnight jolt
is a beatiful combo maker
hot zephyr
It's basically a better push attack for 1v1 situations
midnight jolt
light alt charged, light light, done
peak kelp
so it will stagger ragers out of their combo?
rare arrow
Even if not 1v1, I’ve definitely used it to stop a group of crusher or mauler from overheating lol
rare arrow
so it will stagger ragers out of their combo?
Yes
rare arrow
so it will stagger ragers out of their combo?
Fun fact also stops a mutant charge
And that shit is hilarious
*with a headshot
midnight jolt
yeah
midnight jolt
you are going to love it
rare arrow
And as a final point if you do H1>special>Heavy you can stagger lock enemies in a 1v1
midnight jolt
once you master stun locking big guys, you are happy
hot zephyr
Yeah, there's a reason DS4 is beloved by many psykers
It pairs very well with what the rest of our builds want to do
Most of our other abilities struggle with heavily armoured or high hp enemies, and DS4 does very well against those types of targets
rare arrow
Also, if you stack uncanny up with lights and then switch to heavies on a boss you start doing around 1k heavies
Which is great boss damage
I don’t believe I like carapace on it tho, I prefer unyielding

I put +maniac on mine

I’d have to revisit the calc but iirc it doesn’t increase kill time on crusher

Everything we have horde clears
You’d have to build some weird bubble, BB, gun build to not have horde clear
long wharf
with the exception of the surge staff
rare arrow
But either way it may not clear as well as a illisi, but it clears perfectly fine
hot zephyr
I mean, the purpose of hordes is just to bog you down and pin you to an area. You can't just push through a horde. So gameplay wise a horde is more like a CC
radiant frigate
