not too fond of assail
you can power through a horde with a ds
it's definitely not the most optimal way to do it, though
1 second of smite puts a horde on the ground
You can then get space and position
I absolutely love assail
1 second of smite also implies i do not have brain burst
i like having a modicum of boss damage
Who doesn't love the flying JO crystals of murder?
Literally unless you’re using BB as your ability, are bad at positioning, or didn’t bring 3 of the 4 staff options you don’t need illisi
I cosplay as Marry Poppins all the time
Heavy from ds4 does more than bb
And is faster
and rends
^
i'm sure it does, but that also requires you to headshot and be real close
I’d cosplay Palpatine if I had the foresight to predict smite existing 
yes, that is the play
how do iproceed?
Just be close don’t have to weakspot tho it helps
I like pairing DS for everything but my BB build, I typically use the illsi for the deflector blessing
That being said if you aren’t comfortable in melee than sure, bring an illisi
Holy shit nice on the perks, leaves room to fuck around with blessings
But I promise the more you play the more the DS4 feels like the only option unless you have no horde control
Also I gotta say that lil chance of the enemy getting brainbbursted by standard attacks can be a lifesaver
deathspitter and dumdum, is what I've heard
I take the other option for rapid BBS
I love % gambling as well 
I don’t like the random peril gain from the BB talent
i feel quite the inverse
I think it adding peril makes it bad
not mutually exclusive
I have a build that's the exact same of bb
But the sub BB node is swapped to that
If it makes u feel better it can’t proc at high peril so u technically can’t blow urself up with it 
Replace both blessings. DumDum for sure, then your choice of Deathspitter or Fire Frenzy
Yea above 90% I believe
The talent should just give a free BB
gotta go farm bleesing of intantry autoguns then couse i have none T_T
Thankfully it don’t gotta be the Columbus, all they gotta share is weapon type
if i get traits on my other character also works?
Yes
oky thx
Ogryn sadly doesn’t get this cuz all his stuff is operator exclusive 
It still share when earning blessing on types of weapons tho like the rippers, knifes
Anything with diff patterns to it
You can also look for other guns that share similar blessings with columnus V
I forget which guns do tho
I think there's like.. another 1 or 2?
Columbus go brrr
Agrippa slower brr but less spread
Agrippana, and Graia
Yeah
all blessings are account-wide
weapons that are variants of a single archtype share blessings
combat knives, shotguns, combat axes, tactical axes, etc
the sole exception to that is the force staves
which are each unique archtypes
even though they share a good number of blessings and attacks
I don't think anyone believes it's balanced
I wonder if they will get rid of chain crits or what
(that would nerf all auto guns)
Yeah I think the answer is other autoguns need some buffs rather than columnus nerfed
Besides Reddit
nobody with a brain believes the guns are balanced
that automatically discludes all of reddit
Yeah, IAGs overall need rebalancing, but really it's not that columnus is OP, its most of them are not very good.
WHAT
lucky you
Recon lasgun :electric boogaloo
God roll imo
get transfer peril or surge in place of sustained fire
They are? Thank god
It is pretty funny to watch Tanner's "more than you would ever want to know about Psyker" hour long breakdown of the class and 90% of his comments are "this is bad because Columnus IAG exists"
yes, but if you setup your talent tree for it, you can get by without warp nexus when you have a lot of targets
Sure you can true sim gamble it
Shame about the blast radius, but yeah, beautiful overall. Surge, Transfer, or Nexus are all good to replace sustained. Depending how you want to play it
True Aim means with good aim, every shot can be a crit against a crowd
Or just make a very universally good weapon with nexus
i like surge a lot with the guaranteed crits
I prefer warp nexus + surge
Really good staff roll but I would love to have that tier 4 warp flurry a lot
- blazing spirit to spread extra warpflame
I like surge a lot with nexus, had flurry been nexus then I’d change sustained to surge
Doesn't "blast radius" also make the main damage sphere larger?
My main void is a surge
Yes but it’s irrelevant on the void
Did the smite weakpoint exploit with voidstrike crit get patched?
Why bother, staves don't share blessing with each other.
blast radius on void is the dumpstat
Oh yeah, I forgot
That's a shame
This
it really is
You’d throw a away a god roll weapon to hopefully get an almost god roll one day haha
Oh, so this isn't as cursed as I thought?
I've been hoping for FartShack to fix that since the crafting system released
I suppose that makes sense
definitely salvageable
What are the use cases for each one?
I forget what the others besides transfer do since Im still learning everything haha
check the pinned messages and read the Psyker Atheneum by Pygex
it's a very comprehensive guide to everything Psyker
Got it pulled up already 
Very good imo. Drop sustained fire and
Actually, maybe both blessings?
Lots of options, but yea good staff
They are just different
Nexus is more crit so surge procs more often
The arguement against nexus is that true sim gives you guaranteed crits against hordes
even with True Aim, I prefer nexus+surge on void
So nexus big benefit is when you aren’t fighting a line of enemies
Or are slamming into a boss
bosses are the biggest reason to go warp nexus
I like nexus surge especially when the staff has unyielding for big boss damage
surge procs help you stagger-lock the chaos spawns and plague ogryns
As it already handles lines of enemies fine without
The arguement for peril is it is a ton of peril reduction
Er transfer
So more orbs
Assuming your first blessing is warp flurry:
- Nexus gives you crit, so you can build talents into Disrupt Destiny for massive critical damage bonuses (nuclear bomb launcher)
- Surge turns you into a grenade launcher that hits bosses super hard with it's extra shots, so you stack damage and crit (grenade launcher)
- Transfer turns you into a machine gun that can peril-dump by shooting a horde. Less damage per shot but you basically never have to stop (machine gun)
Gotcha gotcha
Can anyone tell me if this image is using a weapon skin? And if yes, which one? I cant tell if this is the default skin or not. I just want to find a good deimos skin that keeps the cool spearhead tip but I cant find any, they all overwrite it with a boring default sword.
I like surge nexus for the more frequent crits and boss damage as hordes get rekt anyways.
Thank you for that, I really appreciate the in depth explanations
Yeah I was gonna say
Leaning towards surge
If it were a staff like trauma then I’d value quelling more highly
But quelling peril on a staff used primarily at range I value less than throwing 2 orbs into a boss weakspot
Also quick question, is there a best set of blessings and such for a purg staff or does it also have multiple use cases?
Though if you add nexus or surge and then try it for a bit you can always swap it later
Looking to get a good one of those
Ahh right I forgot
I’m not a fan of the purg
But it’s nexus and flurry iirc
I don’t think there are any other options
Yes
Gotcha
It's the one from the bundle
Purgatus you always want Nexus + Flurry as well, because crits apply an extra stack of soulblaze. Here's my top-tier purgatus for reference:
The one where you get the skull bandana n shit
Wasn’t that free?
🙏 Appreciated
You rarely quell with shriek + CDR build, so quell is the dump stat for a purgatus, you want 76% burn and 76% cloud radius
Are you on pc?
No
Ah that’s why
Only level 3 flurry smh my head
skull bandana was a freebie from the beta
I believe it was free for pc
purgatus always makes me go Huh?
1% bro, ain't going to feel that
Console got a bunch of free Aquila and that armor was the apology we got for free
along with the special needs head protector with the beta letter on it
no no no
I think the 14k was limited up to November or whenever the new sets for pc dropped
Like BUYING the game before that date
we got the Vanguard stuff because people complained about console imperial edition getting 14k aquilas and those of us on PC who paid for imperial edition got 2400
No gamepass bullshit
which can't even buy a set now
everyone who played between Nov 12th and 17th got the vanguard cosmetics
I didn't get 14k unfortunately, I got 2400 but that may be because I bought it on December or later in which that deal is no longer available
I got 2400 but I bought it in 2022 lol
Gamepass is no BS, is an agreement, they pay lots of money upfront to the studio/publisher
I mean in terms of how you get the 14k aquillas back when the game game out
Like you couldn't just play the game on gamepass to get the Shaquille
Right. Console got a bunch of benefits that pc didn’t. Pc said “wtf fatshark we’ve been here since the beginning” and they said “uh, oh sorry here is the free exclusive cosmetic”
Thank you very much, I was becoming insane trying to figure this out.
Finally I have a skin for deimos that keeps the cool anchor tip. I hate that I had to pay for it, but such is life.
yeah, I got the game free but paid €12 for the imperial edition which gave me the camo set + 2500 aquilas
But it isn’t really exclusive as console could buy it and everyone on PC got it
It was anyone who played on pc before 11/17
Not those 5 days specifically
I wouldn't blame you
Though, mostly because we had been here for a year of missed promises
A class every quarter
New weapons every quarter
Yeah, having to endure all of that
Was the trader hat part of a set? I would like that set, is the only thing that makes you look not like weirdo
Yes
All the things we were promised to have “at launch” and then “by December” and then “before January 2023”
but remember all the pearls we clutched
It's still in the shop but it's the 3rd one meaning it's going away next week (not this week)
Yea then they said this shit
“Some beta players haven’t spent their Aquila so they can get a set for free”
Like our 2400 Aquila was affecting the market. You’d think they would want to change prices to get those 2400 from anyone who still had them
oh, it wasn't even 2400
they don't actually care about the aquilas tho. That's the thing with premium currencies
the Steam Imperial edition came with 2100
I don't even know how I got them progressed, all I know is that they don't move forward a tiny bit for the last 3~4 days 😦
Once you bought the currency, it's no refunds
remember when FartShack said that aquilas would be earnable in-game before release?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
That's funny
god damn, FartShack is the abusive spouse we all make excuses for
Considering where we're at now
we laugh at each other, pointing out the bruises and lies
and continue rewarding FartShack for their trouble
at each other? you can't promise you are going to pay and get the game for free 
you misunderstood
I got it, but was limiting the relationship 😂
we laugh at each other's co-dependent behavior
"everything in the premium cosmetics shop is too expensive"
"that shit's just a recolor/kitbash"
"they raised the price of sets and removed items from the sets!"
continues to buy premium cosmetics
I am that abused spouse
I don't even bother, when you make cosmetic that expensive, all you do is making me buy just one, and one that has to impress me
uh, I've tossed a lot more money at Darktide than my initial purchase, which was the Imperial edition
I'll keep telling myself I like the ~~militarily ~~ mercenary looking of the imperial set until I die 😂
maintaining warp charges now unfortunately implies not pressing F
very unfortunate
if you don't press F, your teammates will type F in your grave 😂
is there an advise for the brightness, I find myself not seen the enemies properly in certain areas, not sure if is contrast or what
Thanks Hadron
Methinks I kept the default brightness
Gamma or something
My monitor settings are 50 contrast, 100 brightness, gamma2 and DCR turned off
If yours has something like that
The colours are 54, 53, 45 on RGB
But of course, there's accounting for monitors possibly being different and having different results for the same settings
Perhaps
is a Dell GSync monitor, is very true to dark colors, etc
most of all i just wanted to see if i was banished from this realm too
but it makes some games look really dark
what'd you do to get yourself banned?
What do you mean "banished too"?
i was banished from the rat dimension
Holy shit, we're getting Vermintide Discord lore
😮
DEEP
LORE
Deep?
banished because someone dug up a two week old line that reads like a joke
usually thought that you would be notified first but it appears i just got axed
no you didn't
Wat. Also why is the vermintide discord a deep lore topic? owo
it really isn't
o
Oh
No I just said deep lore because I just wanted to
I remember when I got into an argument with a moderator on the Killing Floor 2 server because some guy that didn't like me dug up a joke and reported it
Most things I say lack reason
Just like how I posted deep rock galactic gif because I wanted to
i was also banished for "other offensive messages in my chat history"
whatever that means
It is a common urge no worries
Ah yes, the old "etc."
End times
Don't worry, it's a staple
Psyker go Hee hee hoo hoo explodes
When it's time for you to get banned, the straws are grasped like it was judo sparring
blows up mind with mind
Turns out when you get banned, your chat history magically happens to have a billion bannable things that justify a permaban
True
you know what the alternative is, right?
gulag?
to not say things that are bannable offenses
Just never speak tbh
You'll be pleased to know psyker has a watered down Saltzpyre rapier and a watered down waystalker ability
Eck, lets see what brunt has in 3 minutes, then groceries
except it is not actually an unchained ult
but rather a big long frontal cone
surprisingly long range and set things on fire, which potentially spreads
very good button
see any amount of baddies --> press f --> cackle maniacally
TRUE
Assail + Duelling Sword MK4 + revolver and you are pretty close to that rapier playstyle
cue the "fraggin' hel, witch, you're scaring me" and "might be more polite to psyker in future" lines
Does something good "Omg, I no longer hate your existence wholeheartedly"
tfw atonement is not yet yours
ACCIDENT OR SKILL, WITCH?
it'll never be yours, according to the zealot
Oh wow brunt, this is all bad
COMPLIMENTS ONLY MEAN SOMETHING FROM PROFESSIONALS!
have i then earned respect, fanatic?
Many happy little accidents
you should take notes, roughneck :)
when do we get to the "beat the devil out of it" parts?
the freak wreaks havoc! likely out of error!
is probably my favorite of the bunch
I still remember when I got my frenzied killer achievement and I procced both the zealot and vet to soil themselves at the same time
120 kills in 30s, no biggie for psyker.
sounds about right for the Imperium
nah that's common in america
Just use the "of heretics" qualifier and you're good
is the chance for level 4 blessings lower than 3 2 1, and so on?
the system is a bit more nuanced than that
not only do individual blessings have varying odds, your chances for high tier blessings (and perks) is influenced by the current item level
IIRC, higher level items have a better chance at higher tier blessings when consecrated.
the higher your item level compared to the maximum current possible item level, the better odds for higher tier perks and blessings
100% stats when?
Im just trying to get surge or whatever its called for voidstrike, the 2 on crit one
nobody knows, not even FartShack
Ive done like 20 staffs now
surge is t4 only , and a rare t4 on top of that
Never seen a surge yet
I bought mine from Melks after 2 months or so
I saw one right when I had already bought something -_-
I've been playing since open beta, and I didn't get surge blessing for void until 3 months ago
Farming surge is hard because you need high base level items to increase your odds of rolling it. It's easier to just farm melk-bucks and then buy a void from him that already has it just for the blessing
I think Ill just put something else on my staff
best way to get t4 blessings is to buy well-rolled grays and greens
360+ modifiers, if gray then upgrade to green
Been somewhat doing that, but money is an issue, because I am bouncing from build to build on all characters
nice to see that others also call that currency "melkbucks"
The neat thing is you can always rebless later, since you can always modify whatever isn't locked. Use nexus or transfer or whatever for now, then switch to surge when you get it.
if perk isn't t4, roll that to a t4 perk
You want high BST and not care if damage is 4% right? You just need a 350 or so
then upgrade to blue
Melkbucks is the only name
I prefer milkies to melkbucks
Milkies for sour milk
From and for ig
melkbucks are the best way to get curios imo
250 for a chance at an orange with maybe one stat you want and you're good to go
Unless you like Brunt gambling but most of the time yes
Like 90%
I have never seen a curio at Sour Milk's that was worth the Milkies
True, the two curios from brunt can be good, but milk has better ones most of the time.
best thing you can do for curios is to buy some at Brunts
He means from the random buy for 200 or 250 or whatever.
and then upgrade them
god no!
never gamble with Milkies
absolute waste of a time-gated resource
Rlly? That seems hard to believe but maybe I got better curio luck and worse weapon luck
I got a good voidstrike from a 200 milk gamble
Based
It didnt last long bc I easily got better ones but still
now that emperor's gifts are guaranteed, just grab any old curio and slap chance-to-get-curio on there
Is warp nexus , and blazing spirit ok on voidstrike?
i almost exclusively used melkbucks to spam random curios
You like the dopamine high
like together
I have had gambling problems in the past
it's a meme
All of my curios are from regular shop, just waited patiently for blue ones with top tier stat + one level four good perk
Fire void
and everything that you'd want to apply soulblaze to dies from the void hit anyways
it's really not a good combination
I also rarely see anything I particularly like from milk so I basically use the gamble to turn milkies into ordies
Voidstrike shoots bolter shots
Lord Sire Master Darius Melkius
unfortunately there was The Big Fire Change™ which prompted me to run triple bomber/flamer/gunner DR
so i needed one of them as a default roll
Don't worry, that went away
if you do want to try soulblaze void, you'll want to max blast radius
because the crafting system is asinine
So what should I put on my voidstrike. I have maniacs , and carapace on it already. So what blessings.
even though the range is short, [2,4]
You can do toughness spam again
surge nexus usually
No surge
wdym went away
They made fire not melt your toughness with its massive ticks
A turbonerf if you will
well i do know it got nerfed by like half after it turned into differently flavored instakill juice
Yeah
Now fire just fries you after toughness
They reduced how quickly fire stacks up now. You have like 2 seconds to get out of fire now before your toughness is gone
I just run toughness, gunner/sniper and some flavour of stamina regen and block efficiency
Pretty balanced now tbh
perhaps i should then run funny sniper DR so it doesn't chunk my health if i forget to move my feet
Not infuriating as the lose all toughness if you even TOUCH it or say goodbye to your fucking health
oopsie daisy, dipped a toe in the instakill juice
now i have to get in the forever box
Ideally you get 2 gunner resist because it really fucking sucks to get your movement screwed by one and you keep getting slapped because you're struggling to move out of the shots
it's kind of nice that toughness doesn't just evaporate in fire, but the health damage right now is ridiculous
imagine taking health damage
Watch hitting the griddy and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
I only take mental damage
I run: Health/Wound/Stam curios, then the following nine perks:
2x % Health
2x % Toughness
2x % Gunner Resistance
2x % Block Efficiency
1x % Toughness Regeneration Speed
I find this gives a good balance of things to improve defenses
i don't always take health damage, but when i do, it's at least 3 quarters of my hp
That was so fucking funny
i run 3x toughness 3x gunner DR 3x flamer 3x bomber atm
pondering 2x flamer 2x bomber 2x sniper
I run stamina regen, ordo dockets, and then 1 sniper, 1 gunner, 1 mutant
I do have a mutant one on mine but I was stuck with it
Helps tho because those steroid enthusiasts won't leave me alone
I like running toughness, health, and wound. Stam is nice but like I just feel like health is good to have
was that one of those "ranged weapon superglued to hand" situations
Honestly I've had that experience
i feel like psyker absolutely does not need block efficiency because you have kinetic deflection
I find psyker has enough flat toughness nodes (+15) in the talent tree you don't need toughness curios
Tried to fight a Reaper with a dueling sword
Basically you can't charge a shot when you're getting interrupted
It was followed by and I quote
If you get 3-4 of them you have 105/120 base toughness
i only say one thing to this, and it's Guh
"oh OH OW OW OW OWW NO" then I went down
Fatshark
I got pinned into a corner by him because I for some reason thought melee could stun him
i find it remarkably foolish not to run max toughness always
It was range
With the toughness nodes and my curios I end up with like 150 or so toughness
I aim for like 170 toughness and the rest is extra
do you partake in glorious melee combat
I'm fine with...I think I currently have 167
the greatest danger in all of Atoma is ... me
better question, where did your stats go
especially when I call upon the warp a touch too much
What left tree psyker do to a mf
My setup normally gives me around 130 toughness and over 210 health, a third wound for when teammates revive you in a bad spot, and enough stam and block eff you slow any peril gen from it considerably
I stab many things, yes
Someone remind me later to take a shot of my build for critiquing
No
Then you're just a bit gassy xD
you must like to live dangerously
I do enjoy eating, yes
Gutterunners:
when their backs turn, we go..
I have ~230 health
but why
because I can?
when you can have toughness instead
now that there is no more instakill juice
why not have more toughness instead
there are still good reasons to not try to tank up toughness
what are these reasons, genuinely curious
the first is - there are a lot of enemy attacks that do more toughness damage than health damage
Here I am thinking 152 T, 250 hp is good
indeed, but you should still aim to protect your health, with your toughness
second is psykers have more health than toughness at baseline, which means the larger health % go even further
everyone does
Toughness isn't a shield. It's % damage reduction. So you will take chip damage even when you still have toughness in your bar
third is what Taeritimus just said
it is a shield vs ranged fire
No it is not. If you are below 100 toughness, you will take health chip damage
I use Empathic Evasion in every build
you're wrong here
Ranged attacks deal full toughness damage
Not vs ranged fire.
i.. really doubt that
Only melee attacks bleed through
ranged damage doesn't chip health
regardless, EE lets me worry less about ranged attacks
as well as smart level positioning
and using teammates as meat shields

I was hit by a poxwalker with no toughness and I swear it did 70% of my health
is this a bug or something
"position better" is always a good idea, but sometimes you simply end up in bad positions
is there any myth or info on just learning blessings so your chances to get unique blessings on rewards is increased? is that a thing?
you got hit from behind, most likely
That's normal. There damage is cooked
on that note I put 2 toughness and 1 health, feels balanced like that
Anyway, toughness arguments:
- You get more toughness nodes than health on the tree
- It regenerates on its own within coherency
- It regenerates with many choices of talents
- No bleedthrough from ranged attacks
- The talent tree also provides toughness damage reduction nodes
I like the QoL I get from having a +3 stamina curio
When you have no toughness, you take full hits as health damage, and enemies HURT! You go down in 2-3 swings with no toughness even from 200+ health pretty easily.
Especially when the director spills its favorite toys all over the board
- 3 stam is incredible
I run 2 toughness and 1 health with toughness perks and gunner/sniper DR
health arguments:
big number
bigue namba
having more health also helps when you start taking corruption damage
like some idiot picks up a grim
when i see 500 health ogryns with 100 toughness i die a little inside
I only have one health but I could definitely turn it into toughness
if I had better ones
playing psyker feels so fragile
or the director sneaks a poxburster into you
gunnery, toughness regen and block efficiency
Seriously FS please let curios be acc wide I want my vets 4 toughness 17%
isn't toughness regen literally just the coherency passive regen
It's not fair
toughness regen is a lot less important now that we have reliable ways of getting toughness back
worthless stat then
which is why I switched my curios to stamina regen
Health keeps you alive, when I used to run tough/tough/stam as curios, I was made of glass compared to the health/wound/stam setup I use now.
Yes, but it also reduces the time before that regen kicks in still massively overrated
Health:
- Bigger wounds
- Corruption is a flat value
- Helps against shit that eats through your toughness, like sniper shots and poxbursters
- Gives you more leeway on chip damage
not a bad idea, toughness regen, stamina regen and block efficiency, feels like what I want
Is toughness damage reduction % worthwhile?
Yeah, I must admit that post patch 13 health curios got much better
I am glad I started using 1 health curio tbh
toughness DR is always worthwhile
TDR is typically nice to go for
as in, the Obligatory Health Regeneration Cover Break (with friends)™?
it stacks additively with itself
It's why things like iron will are so good
Don't waste spare talent points on it.
You don't need to STACK health, but you should probably have at least 1 health curio
Actually that might be an unfair example
which is how veterans can get crazy toughness DR
Just that the psyker tree has like a dozen 5% ones
toughness DR is fantastic because sometimes that poxburster doesn't actually bonk through to apply corruption
very nice
I'd argue the opposite of this
It only stacks additively FROM THE SAME SOURCE
so what
if you have a spare point, grab a toughness DR node
makes toughness last longer
absolutely
is good
They're helpful
Gotcha
anything that extends the lifespan of your toughness is good
Eg if you have 20% from flat talent nodes and 20% from scriers
that said, I just about never have a spare point for my builds
You get 36% TDR
okay but that's still good
What do the stamina bars mean anywho? Blocks?
I'd rather spend spare points on extra toughness
not exactly mutually exclusive
maybe this is what I should run on my curios:
Tough R, Tough R, Sta R
Sta R, Gun R, Gun R
Block E, Block E, Snip R
I see
also, if you take Kinetic Deflection, your maximum stamina is a part of the block cost calculation
Every psyker should be running a +3 stam curio. It makes kinetic deflection more efficient.
If you take 25% peril from an attack with KD on a duelling sword
Add +3 stam and that peril generated goes down to 10%
Because maths.
I use deflector and KD with a deimos rn
what, why
for peril block cost, a +3 stamina curio is as good as getting +25% block cost reduction
because it is
thanks fatshark, that makes zero sense
¯_(ツ)_/¯
that was 3 months ago, but I'm pretty sure it still applies
I could go look at the code again, but I really dislike digging through that much Lua
It still applies
Does that dodge talent still not work? I see my dodge count went up and they do feel longer
I made it 3 months ago but was testing some things with it again last week
good to know
I can't be assed to screenshot a peril meter
full of peril
curious, might consider trying for a +stam force sword
i do have one but it's a deimos
Oops All Warp Demons
Yes
how many toughnes regen speed curio perks are worth it?
0
0
0
roger
glad to see we at least agree on that
thank you for acknowledging the only correct source
is toughness% worth it then? or equally ridiculous?
more toughness more gooder
I should try gunpsyker
protect your health, protect yourself
Only kind of psyker I haven't tried
Reddit moment
well i didn't fuck up on both counts then
you can make an argument for +5% toughness not being as good as gunner resistance
Far more contentious.
or sniper resistance
"useless" bro is probably that one malice player that spams assail and forgets he has 2 other weapons
I like stamina regen and ordo dockets on all my curios
I don't like smitebots
assail is fun sometimes but Eh
The ones who just ONLY smite
we had a really lengthy chat in here about smite yesterday
yeah
smite is like
smite is 95% misused
i like siblings that tactically smite and switch to staff or melee
If you smite but also kill shit then you're fine to me
Guess which one he is
most players sit on smite as if it's helping the team when it's not
so 5% toughness good on curios? if I were to replace toughness speed by that right?
channel this thing that does some damage but mostly your teammates just get to click bad men for free
Hmm
I think he's the wheelchair word ♿
probably
Yeah
he regularly wears special head protection
standard issue for most psykers
seems so
lore accurate
sadly
Meanwhile I just slapped smite on my right tree build and roll with it
if I don't care what blitz I have, I go through smite
standard-issue issue
because that allows me to get juicy nodes on either side
you have a handheld deathstick
Gotta be like palpatine up in here
I was surprised how hard psyker melee can go tbh
illisi does indeed go hard
all comes down to which melee weapon you roll with
Illisi is amazing against the horde
legitimately once i finally saw the light of +25% unyielding i've been dropping heretic ogryn faster than the zealots
ds4/deimos is great against hard targets
I like dueling sword
is shred available to illisi? I've been doing lots of consecrating to get shred 4 but no luck 😦
Closest I'll get to a rapier
I need to try a good illisi, deimos just feels solid with its stabs. I like watching a crusher fall over lmao
i believe it is @dusk violet
Uh
when you can get slaughterer
I run slaughterer+deflector on my Illisi
why yes i would like 40% power, that seems incredibly balanced
i got stuck with executioner or w/e
and have been trying to get hadron to give me slaughterer since
i run slaughterer/uncanny
ah, an edger
Uncanny huh
Yes
Nice
And deflector
because fuck armored heads
Not sure if I have any slaughterer
deflector i genuinely find pointless
unless you intend to facetank a daemonhost with funny block cost reduction
with stuff like emphatic evasion, is useless
but like, don't wake the daemonhost
it can be clutch if you truly can't find any cover and for some reason aren't good at repeat salvo dodging
even without, it is mostly pointless
I enjoy deflector for the occasional situation. Shotgtnners, gunners, and stuff just out of reach
If gunners are trying to make me their bitch and I unfortunately get caught out of position I like to have it
shoot back, soulstealer goes hard
run 150+ toughness and triple gunner DR
countershoot them
Deflector is like a backup option, not a go-to
Genius
i usually am able to gap close and purg M1 them out of the bullet stream
Make it a go-to, become shield psyker
anyone here wanna help me to do ''Cliffhanger'' penance?
Actually idek how much toughness I have
I never even bothered checking
bullets legally cannot enter your body without going through toughness first
Why waste precious toughness when I can waste precious stamina instead
I the I have one but only because I accidentally put on two sniper
you propose running? excellent idea
Lemme check
all bullets must have properly filed warrants to enter your body without permission
No I propose reflectoring straight into them
foolish
Once I have been proposed to use rampage and shred and abandon uncanny strike on dueling sword
Call me foolish all u wish ima still block shooter fire for no reason when covers right there

Tbh at lower difficulties you can just walk around with deflector up a lot and have zero issues. Free peril generation lol
assert dominance
I still need to try that out, because there's always the chance I severely overestimated uncanny strike
non-uncanny dueling sword kinda sad
uncanny dueling sword is very nice
But at the same time it does help spamming lights on those asshole dreg bruisers and their girly flak helmet
dueling sword all about weakspot
2-shot crushers at full stacks
Hopefully I can roll a maniac and shred
shred
Then I can switch the second perk and blessing around
E
Try rampage and carapace, and go back to something else if it doesn't work as I'd like
i have gunner/sniper resist, any third resist y'all recommend or doubling up on?
Double up on gunner tbh
The diminishing returns don't kick in too hard on the second
universally useful
now that i think on it i have done pretty well with dodging sniper fire of late
unfortunately not the right class for that
i wish psyker cosmetics didn't suck!!
also, which ones in particular
Is it just me or are snipers decently easy to dodge?
they are decently easy to dodge
Warp battery is biting my ass
the ice mourn set from last rotation is great imo
minus the silly headgear
annoying with the new warp charges i imagine
what does it look like
does it have silly tubes
Yeah, gonna have to get a squad together to do it
I got black navigator drip that got tubes 
maybe the headdress did but i didn't spend aquilas on that
this coat drippy as fuck
Even does the voice change thingy
Keep getting the elite/specialists kills stolen when I need them
Alright I got
142
yyyep
in The Before Times™
Holding 4 warp charges for 5 minutes is stupid asf
idk play purgatus or something
But that's only because my toughness curios are add
flamerize everything you see
Ass
And the more I read the penances the more I realise how shit most of them are
I got really close one game running purge staff but lost my stack
are they underwhelming, or do you think they pigeonhole you into a certain kind of optimal play
underwhelming, as i do not pick any
Never picked or choose not to pick 
not on psyker anyhow
zealot keystones are good
ogryn (ugh) has a good one but that's ogryn
and...poor veteran
vet keystones exist, much like psyker
i guess weapon specialist is kinda cool
but also meh
Ey don’t be dissing mah marking keystone
Zel’s love me 
i will say that's the best one
it enables me to BB things behind cover with only a teensy hole in it that the Vet themselves can't get
and yes, zealots love you
Does Assail have a bad habit of periling out at high percentages for everyone else or is that just desync?
I'll be at 80% peril, fire once, peril out
Happened four times in one mission
I don't even see myself fire the justified extra time to cause me to peril out
I'd understand if I was just being bad and not paying attention, which has happened
but I've been specifically trying to be careful and getting punished anyways
One recommendation is installing the true peril mod
will do
I'd get randomly shafted by using brain burst at 97% in older patches, despite 97% being the safe zone
So it's possible the game was at 98% and telling me I was at 97%
But 80% is really weird
You're meant to be able to fling an assail dart so long as you're not at 100
you should be able to fling a nice cool flagon of ale
what's the point of 3 currencies? we are always out of plasteel no matter what
one of them should be removed
imagine if diamantine was able to be traded for plasteel
just ordocks and plasteel, call it a day
I've been running Damnation a bit as a Psyker - any reason I should use a melee against mutants instead of just brain bursting them?
your melee may trigger brain burst and instantly kill it together with your actual melee hit
plus, mutie jousting never gets old
also depends on your melee choice
dueling sword does good damage
should 2-tap on solid hits
charged deimos can onetap with the light thrust
So far my melee choice is non-existent. I spam left click Purgatus staff to keep enemies staggered and brain burst anything bigger than hordes
illisi 2-tap with charged heavies
Ahh interesting. I've heard dueling sword is a good one to focus on next
dueling sword also has an unique special, it staggers crushers and you can heavy their head, is really pleasant to use
in the head of course
yeah but deimos has a funnier heavy 2
the deimos heavy thrust sends crushers to the floor on a headshot
not just stagger
they become horizontal
and it is funny as hell
trauma staff obsolete smh
the problem with it is you are locked in animation while doing that
i don't think they meant the special on deimos, just heavy attack 2
yeah just heavy 2
the special is mostly Huh?
just use it like a dueling sword except it has force sword pushes
which honestly, terrifying that a mere heavy attack can put an ogryn on the ground
now that i think about it, deimos is really good at dealing with big boys like that
that is what it is for yes
force block pushing a bulwark shield never ceases to be satisfying
DS4 is better for dealing with the things Deimos does
yeah but magic sword
sometimes you just wanna be a magical boy
Can’t argue with that
Agreed
Lol
Also, deflector for a defensive option
This is the entire reason I don’t play gunker
I’m a fucking space wizard, guns are for zealots and vets
agreed
i've been getting better with my aim and ammo consumption
but dammit i am a psyker
being interdisciplinary is for a Librarian or something idk
your bullets are somewhat magical
aw thank you
they can cause heads to explode
yours too
i think the psykers can do that without bullets
Psykers can do many things without bullets
thankfully we have the freedom of choice 
So u can see a mix of both
what if you cast brain burst on a bullet as it traveled through the air
That’s the modifier to the blitz lowkey, just without the percent gambling
o7
I'm at max peril time for boolet
it's always melee time
convert to the church of illisi
not so bad if you can click heads
slightly worse than slaughterer but probably good enough
Maybe, but I’ll miss funny head stab on mutants to merk em
A reasonable sacrifice for psyker’s power sword 
you can instead do funny charged heavy into heavy
Seems like a good alternative, I’ll consider it sibling thank u 
I can't use Illisi, I get take over my Zealot spirit 😂
Oh the swipes just that cool? Got ya
I’ve only given the other 2 force swords a shot, the obc one cuz it was the only one at the time of my leveling of psyker
Makes me glad we got more options 
My melee experiments 😉
That knife looks sexy 
Don't mind its mobility, it doesn't really need it
Yea that’s how he felt
I don’t value the ‘more sweepy’ attacks and I find the mk3 to be easier to land
So I’ve always preferred the mk3
The one thing mk6 does better with the sweepy attacks isn’t kill hordes but stack uncanny faster
Though admittedly I didn’t give the push attack on mo6 a lot of try
I'm new so I'm still learning
So if it’s insane or something then maybe my mind could be changed
In a lot of situations it’s preference
It’s ok to start where people say is best but try everything
Sometimes it’s like dueling swords where 4 is just the best
Resources are a problem
But other times they are laterals and it’s preference
Always
Hey so do we have any new weapons or is it just the other classes
Specifically plasteel
Remove diamantine, increase plasteel gains, there is no need for 3 currencies
New as if when
The “new” junk is actually pretty shared between most the operators
I’ve said forever and will continue to say
I.e the new revolver, chainsword
Let us spend dia to modify the stats of weapons
or that ^^
Kills so many birds
Fixes the dia issue
And the crafting issue which are two of the biggest complaints
Set caps for weapons to 80 and 380 so it ca t be better but can be modified up to the maximum
Would also allow for some crazy customization as now we could calculate exactly how much of some stats are needed and hit all of our breakpoints/threshold
Ah i see the new stub and chainsword, i was hoping we had something unique cause i saw one of the classes using something different like a big gold laser beam
Might have been the vet
A laser beam?
I’m not familiar unless it’s the plasma gun
But that wasn’t good
Gold
Like a destiny 2 linear fusion rifle
I thought it was gold
Or maybe it was a shotgun
Got a video or something I can watch?
No
We have that???????
Zealots have shotguns
Staves are cool tho
L we have some gunker fanatics in here, they be best to answer
I use guns in my zealot because obv, but not on psyker
Currently rocking the IAG with a knife on my zealot
What?
Cant get it to do any damage
It is the primary source of damage in a lot of my builds lately
800-1m damage a mission
soulblaze does plenty of damage
Venting shriek alone stacks damage gast
I often slam alt fire on a single enemy and then the zealots just walks over and shoots one shot and nukes it
Im running the second tier
This is fair
I dont remember the build
flame trauma is cool but i prefer voidstrike
this must have been one hell of a long mission
But it was pretty cobbled together
Two missions in the 35 minute range each
I can check the actual times at home
powerful
33 mins and like 36 iirc
was the rest of your team afk then
Oh i remember what i was doing, its been months since i played
Usually feels like it lol
Venting alone can easily push 500k of my damage
I was running the shield, but i was contemplating dropping it cause my teammates never use it
not a fan of the shield personally
The shield is good, but can become a crutch
Like smite
Agreed with Sik. I tailor all my builds to AD or maelstrom
I run exclusively uprising atm
Which is why I have a lot of EP builds, which only shines if there are a lot of elites
Less bs daemon hosts
i suggest not running face first into daemonhosts
agree to disagree
Hammer zealots didn't understand that sentence
also, if you take the stamina to peril talent then you can tank DH infinitely
just because you can doesn't mean you should
Although i have seen ogryn absolutely consume daemonhosts
Don't run into them with a pug 
What is a crucis build
it is a type of powered bonking stick
which does insane boss damage with the right setup
Zealot hammer
I just straight up pull all DHs on my Ogryn lmao, I don't trust people to avoid em, easier to just grab em when I have aggro and don't have to chase them.
Can one shot DH
thanks i hate it
Oh i was hoping it was a psycher build
They die in like 20 seconds solo
