I’ve slashed the crap outta a horde with a dueling sword’s lights, is pretty effective thumbsup_ogryn

radiant frigate
#

not too fond of assail

long wharf
#

you can power through a horde with a ds

#

it's definitely not the most optimal way to do it, though

rare arrow
#

You can then get space and position

long wharf
#

I absolutely love assail

radiant frigate
#

1 second of smite also implies i do not have brain burst

#

i like having a modicum of boss damage

hollow current
#

Who doesn't love the flying JO crystals of murder?

rare arrow
#

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

long wharf
#

I cosplay as Marry Poppins all the time

rare arrow
#

And is faster

long wharf
#

and rends

rare arrow
#

^

radiant frigate
#

i'm sure it does, but that also requires you to headshot and be real close

long wharf
#

in fact, the best ds4 combo is special into heavy

#

the special is really fast

queen fog
long wharf
#

yes, that is the play

karmic bloom
#

how do iproceed?

rare arrow
#

Just be close don’t have to weakspot tho it helps

vocal cliff
#

I like pairing DS for everything but my BB build, I typically use the illsi for the deflector blessing

rare arrow
#

That being said if you aren’t comfortable in melee than sure, bring an illisi

queen fog
rare arrow
#

But I promise the more you play the more the DS4 feels like the only option unless you have no horde control

vocal cliff
#

Also I gotta say that lil chance of the enemy getting brainbbursted by standard attacks can be a lifesaver

long wharf

#

I don’t like the random peril gain from the BB talent

rare arrow
#

I think it adding peril makes it bad

radiant frigate
vocal cliff
#

I have a build that's the exact same of bb

But the sub BB node is swapped to that

queen fog
hot zephyr
rare arrow
#

The talent should just give a free BB

karmic bloom
queen fog
karmic bloom
#

if i get traits on my other character also works?

queen fog
#

Yes

karmic bloom
#

oky thx

queen fog
#

Ogryn sadly doesn’t get this cuz all his stuff is operator exclusive Sitgryn

#

It still share when earning blessing on types of weapons tho like the rippers, knifes

#

Anything with diff patterns to it

vocal cliff
#

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?

queen fog
#

Agrippa slower brr but less spread

vocal cliff
#

Yeah

prime elk
#

colum prob gonna get nerfed

#

(IAG) at least

long wharf
#

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

opaque charm
#

I wonder if they will get rid of chain crits or what

#

(that would nerf all auto guns)

hot zephyr
vocal cliff
long wharf
#

nobody with a brain believes the guns are balanced

#

that automatically discludes all of reddit

hot zephyr
#

Yeah, IAGs overall need rebalancing, but really it's not that columnus is OP, its most of them are not very good.

strange vault

#

lucky you

earnest laurel

#

God roll imo

long wharf
#

get transfer peril or surge in place of sustained fire

strange vault
#

Got warp flurry from hadron

#

Bless her

rare arrow
#

I’d take warp nexus in place of sustained

#

Surge is weak without the crit

marble crater
opaque charm
#

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"

long wharf
rare arrow
#

Sure you can true sim gamble it

hot zephyr
# strange vault WHAT

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

long wharf
#

True Aim means with good aim, every shot can be a crit against a crowd

rare arrow
#

Or just make a very universally good weapon with nexus

radiant frigate
long wharf
#

I prefer warp nexus + surge

strange vault
#

Really good staff roll but I would love to have that tier 4 warp flurry a lot

radiant frigate
#
  • blazing spirit to spread extra warpflame
rare arrow
opaque charm
#

Doesn't "blast radius" also make the main damage sphere larger?

rare arrow
#

My main void is a surge

rare arrow
earnest laurel
#

Did the smite weakpoint exploit with voidstrike crit get patched?

rare arrow
#

Important on trauma, radius is huge there

#

But not as important on void

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

blast radius on void is the dumpstat

strange vault
#

That's a shame

long wharf
#

it really is

rare arrow
#

You’d throw a away a god roll weapon to hopefully get an almost god roll one day haha

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

I've been hoping for FartShack to fix that since the crafting system released

opaque charm
#

I suppose that makes sense

long wharf
strange vault
#

I forget what the others besides transfer do since Im still learning everything haha

long wharf
#

check the pinned messages and read the Psyker Atheneum by Pygex

#

it's a very comprehensive guide to everything Psyker

strange vault
#

Got it pulled up already gohanthumbsup

rare arrow
#

Actually, maybe both blessings?

#

Lots of options, but yea good staff

rare arrow
#

Nexus is more crit so surge procs more often

#

The arguement against nexus is that true sim gives you guaranteed crits against hordes

long wharf
#

even with True Aim, I prefer nexus+surge on void

rare arrow
#

So nexus big benefit is when you aren’t fighting a line of enemies

#

Or are slamming into a boss

long wharf
#

bosses are the biggest reason to go warp nexus

rare arrow
#

I like nexus surge especially when the staff has unyielding for big boss damage

long wharf
#

surge procs help you stagger-lock the chaos spawns and plague ogryns

rare arrow
#

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

hot zephyr
# strange vault What are the use cases for each one?

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)
strange vault
#

Gotcha gotcha

radiant sleet
#

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.

rare arrow
#

I like surge nexus for the more frequent crits and boss damage as hordes get rekt anyways.

strange vault
#

Thank you for that, I really appreciate the in depth explanations

strange vault
#

Leaning towards surge

rare arrow
#

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

strange vault
#

Also quick question, is there a best set of blessings and such for a purg staff or does it also have multiple use cases?

rare arrow
#

Though if you add nexus or surge and then try it for a bit you can always swap it later

strange vault
#

Looking to get a good one of those

rare arrow
#

I’m not a fan of the purg

#

But it’s nexus and flurry iirc

#

I don’t think there are any other options

strange vault
#

Gotcha

vocal cliff
#

It's the one from the bundle

hot zephyr
vocal cliff
#

The one where you get the skull bandana n shit

rare arrow
hot zephyr
vocal cliff
#

I had to pay for it

rare arrow
#

Are you on pc?

vocal cliff
#

No

rare arrow
#

Ah that’s why

near drift
long wharf
#

skull bandana was a freebie from the beta

rare arrow
#

I believe it was free for pc

radiant frigate
#

purgatus always makes me go Huh?

hot zephyr
rare arrow
#

Console got a bunch of free Aquila and that armor was the apology we got for free

long wharf
#

along with the special needs head protector with the beta letter on it

vocal cliff
#

I think the 14k was limited up to November or whenever the new sets for pc dropped

#

Like BUYING the game before that date

long wharf
#

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

vocal cliff
#

No gamepass bullshit

long wharf
#

which can't even buy a set now

#

everyone who played between Nov 12th and 17th got the vanguard cosmetics

vocal cliff
#

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

rare arrow
midnight jolt
vocal cliff
#

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

rare arrow
radiant sleet
midnight jolt
#

yeah, I got the game free but paid €12 for the imperial edition which gave me the camo set + 2500 aquilas

rare arrow
#

But it isn’t really exclusive as console could buy it and everyone on PC got it

rare arrow
#

Not those 5 days specifically

vocal cliff
#

It was such a mess

#

In terms of the argument

rare arrow
#

It was some disrespect tbh

#

I was disappointed in FS at the time

vocal cliff
#

I wouldn't blame you

rare arrow
#

Though, mostly because we had been here for a year of missed promises

#

A class every quarter

#

New weapons every quarter

vocal cliff
#

Yeah, having to endure all of that

midnight jolt
#

Was the trader hat part of a set? I would like that set, is the only thing that makes you look not like weirdo

vocal cliff
#

Yes

rare arrow
#

All the things we were promised to have “at launch” and then “by December” and then “before January 2023”

long wharf
#

but remember all the pearls we clutched

vocal cliff
#

It's still in the shop but it's the 3rd one meaning it's going away next week (not this week)

rare arrow
#

“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

long wharf
#

oh, it wasn't even 2400

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

the Steam Imperial edition came with 2100

midnight jolt
#

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 😦

hot zephyr
#

Once you bought the currency, it's no refunds

long wharf
#

remember when FartShack said that aquilas would be earnable in-game before release?

#

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

vocal cliff
#

That's funny

long wharf
#

god damn, FartShack is the abusive spouse we all make excuses for

vocal cliff
#

Considering where we're at now

long wharf
#

we laugh at each other, pointing out the bruises and lies

#

and continue rewarding FartShack for their trouble

midnight jolt
long wharf
#

you misunderstood

midnight jolt
#

I got it, but was limiting the relationship 😂

long wharf
#

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

midnight jolt
#

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

long wharf
#

uh, I've tossed a lot more money at Darktide than my initial purchase, which was the Imperial edition

midnight jolt
#

I'll keep telling myself I like the ~~militarily ~~ mercenary looking of the imperial set until I die 😂

radiant frigate
#

very unfortunate

if you don't press F, your teammates will type F in your grave 😂

#

Did you come to dark these tides of non-vermin, Kat?

midnight jolt
#

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

steep estuary
#

Thanks Hadron

ornate hamlet
#

Methinks I kept the default brightness

midnight jolt
#

Gamma or something

ornate hamlet
#

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

radiant frigate
midnight jolt
#

is a Dell GSync monitor, is very true to dark colors, etc

radiant frigate
#

most of all i just wanted to see if i was banished from this realm too

midnight jolt
#

but it makes some games look really dark

long wharf
#

what'd you do to get yourself banned?

ornate hamlet
#

What do you mean "banished too"?

radiant frigate
#

i was banished from the rat dimension

ornate hamlet
#

Holy shit, we're getting Vermintide Discord lore

steep estuary
#

😮

vocal cliff
#

DEEP

LORE

queen fog
#

Deep?

radiant frigate
#

banished because someone dug up a two week old line that reads like a joke

radiant frigate
#

usually thought that you would be notified first but it appears i just got axed

long wharf
#

no you didn't

steep estuary
#

Wat. Also why is the vermintide discord a deep lore topic? owo

long wharf
#

it really isn't

steep estuary
#

o

ornate hamlet
#

Oh

queen fog
#

Anything’s deep lore if u know nothing about it Sitgryn

#

Kinda like most of 40k’s lore

vocal cliff
#

No I just said deep lore because I just wanted to

ornate hamlet
#

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

vocal cliff
#

Most things I say lack reason

queen fog
radiant frigate
#

i was also banished for "other offensive messages in my chat history"

#

whatever that means

queen fog
#

It is a common urge no worries

ornate hamlet
#

Ah yes, the old "etc."

radiant frigate
#

but that's beside the point

#

rat chat has perished

#

anyway psyker is pretty fun

vocal cliff
#

End times

ornate hamlet

Don't worry, it's a staple

vocal cliff
#

Yeah

#

Psyker is fun

steep estuary

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

vocal cliff
#

I like removing heads

#

With my mind

radiant frigate
#

blows up mind with mind

ornate hamlet
#

Turns out when you get banned, your chat history magically happens to have a billion bannable things that justify a permaban

steep estuary
#

True

long wharf
#

you know what the alternative is, right?

radiant frigate
#

gulag?

long wharf
#

to not say things that are bannable offenses

steep estuary
#

Just never speak tbh

ornate hamlet
#

You'll be pleased to know psyker has a watered down Saltzpyre rapier and a watered down waystalker ability

radiant frigate
#

Neverspeak sounds good

#

it does have a juiced up unchained ult though

steep estuary
#

Eck, lets see what brunt has in 3 minutes, then groceries

radiant frigate
#

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

steep estuary

TRUE

cue the "fraggin' hel, witch, you're scaring me" and "might be more polite to psyker in future" lines

steep estuary

ACCIDENT OR SKILL, WITCH?

it'll never be yours, according to the zealot

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.

I need to work on my mass murder

sounds about right for the Imperium

earnest laurel
#

is the chance for level 4 blessings lower than 3 2 1, and so on?

long wharf
#

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

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

the higher your item level compared to the maximum current possible item level, the better odds for higher tier perks and blessings

steep estuary
#

100% stats when?

earnest laurel
#

Im just trying to get surge or whatever its called for voidstrike, the 2 on crit one

long wharf
#

nobody knows, not even FartShack

earnest laurel
#

Ive done like 20 staffs now

long wharf
#

surge is t4 only , and a rare t4 on top of that

steep estuary
#

Never seen a surge yet

echo frigate
earnest laurel
long wharf
#

I've been playing since open beta, and I didn't get surge blessing for void until 3 months ago

hot zephyr
earnest laurel
#

I think Ill just put something else on my staff

long wharf
#

best way to get t4 blessings is to buy well-rolled grays and greens

#

360+ modifiers, if gray then upgrade to green

earnest laurel
radiant frigate
hot zephyr
long wharf
#

if perk isn't t4, roll that to a t4 perk

then upgrade to blue

steep estuary
#

I prefer milkies to melkbucks

long wharf
#

if it doesn't get the blessing you want, sell and try again

#

Milkies

steep estuary
#

Milkies for sour milk

long wharf
#

I've called them Milkies since release

#

from Sour Milk

steep estuary
#

From and for ig

radiant frigate
#

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

echo frigate
#

Like 90%

long wharf
#

I have never seen a curio at Sour Milk's that was worth the Milkies

steep estuary
#

True, the two curios from brunt can be good, but milk has better ones most of the time.

long wharf
#

best thing you can do for curios is to buy some at Brunts

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

and then upgrade them

#

god no!

#

never gamble with Milkies

#

absolute waste of a time-gated resource

echo frigate
steep estuary
#

I got a good voidstrike from a 200 milk gamble

echo frigate
steep estuary
#

It didnt last long bc I easily got better ones but still

long wharf
#

now that emperor's gifts are guaranteed, just grab any old curio and slap chance-to-get-curio on there

earnest laurel
#

Is warp nexus , and blazing spirit ok on voidstrike?

radiant frigate
echo frigate
earnest laurel
#

like together

steep estuary
#

I have had gambling problems in the past

hot zephyr
#

All of my curios are from regular shop, just waited patiently for blue ones with top tier stat + one level four good perk

echo frigate
long wharf
#

and everything that you'd want to apply soulblaze to dies from the void hit anyways

#

it's really not a good combination

steep estuary
#

I also rarely see anything I particularly like from milk so I basically use the gamble to turn milkies into ordies

echo frigate
#

Voidstrike shoots bolter shots

ornate hamlet
#

Lord Sire Master Darius Melkius

radiant frigate
#

so i needed one of them as a default roll

ornate hamlet
#

Don't worry, that went away

long wharf
#

if you do want to try soulblaze void, you'll want to max blast radius

radiant frigate
#

because the crafting system is asinine

earnest laurel
#

So what should I put on my voidstrike. I have maniacs , and carapace on it already. So what blessings.

long wharf
#

even though the range is short, [2,4]

ornate hamlet
#

You can do toughness spam again

radiant frigate
#

surge nexus usually

earnest laurel
#

No surge

radiant frigate
ornate hamlet
#

They made fire not melt your toughness with its massive ticks

#

A turbonerf if you will

radiant frigate
#

well i do know it got nerfed by like half after it turned into differently flavored instakill juice

ornate hamlet
#

Yeah

echo frigate
#

Now fire just fries you after toughness

hot zephyr
ornate hamlet
#

I just run toughness, gunner/sniper and some flavour of stamina regen and block efficiency

vocal cliff
#

Pretty balanced now tbh

radiant frigate
#

perhaps i should then run funny sniper DR so it doesn't chunk my health if i forget to move my feet

vocal cliff
#

Not infuriating as the lose all toughness if you even TOUCH it or say goodbye to your fucking health

radiant frigate
#

oopsie daisy, dipped a toe in the instakill juice

#

now i have to get in the forever box

ornate hamlet
#

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

vocal cliff
#

3 frames was all it took back then

#

Or less to lose 75% of your health

#

As a psyker

long wharf
#

it's kind of nice that toughness doesn't just evaporate in fire, but the health damage right now is ridiculous

radiant frigate
#

imagine taking health damage

ornate hamlet
vocal cliff
#

I only take mental damage

hot zephyr
#

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

radiant frigate
#

i don't always take health damage, but when i do, it's at least 3 quarters of my hp

radiant frigate
#

i run 3x toughness 3x gunner DR 3x flamer 3x bomber atm

#

pondering 2x flamer 2x bomber 2x sniper

vocal cliff
#

I run 2 toughness and a health and sniper and gunner

#

Res

long wharf
#

I run stamina regen, ordo dockets, and then 1 sniper, 1 gunner, 1 mutant

vocal cliff
#

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

steep estuary
#

I like running toughness, health, and wound. Stam is nice but like I just feel like health is good to have

radiant frigate
vocal cliff
#

Honestly I've had that experience

radiant frigate
#

i feel like psyker absolutely does not need block efficiency because you have kinetic deflection

hot zephyr
#

I find psyker has enough flat toughness nodes (+15) in the talent tree you don't need toughness curios

vocal cliff
#

Tried to fight a Reaper with a dueling sword

#

I got pinned into a corner by him because I for some reason thought melee could stun him

radiant frigate
#

i find it remarkably foolish not to run max toughness always

vocal cliff
#

It was range

steep estuary
#

With the toughness nodes and my curios I end up with like 150 or so toughness

ornate hamlet
#

I aim for like 170 toughness and the rest is extra

I get by just fine with 90 toughness

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm fine with...I think I currently have 167

when their backs turn, we go..

long wharf
#

I have ~230 health

radiant frigate
#

but why

long wharf
#

because I can?

radiant frigate
#

when you can have toughness instead

#

now that there is no more instakill juice

#

why not have more toughness instead

long wharf
#

there are still good reasons to not try to tank up toughness

radiant frigate
#

what are these reasons, genuinely curious

long wharf
#

the first is - there are a lot of enemy attacks that do more toughness damage than health damage

steep estuary
#

Here I am thinking 152 T, 250 hp is good

radiant frigate
#

indeed, but you should still aim to protect your health, with your toughness

long wharf
#

second is psykers have more health than toughness at baseline, which means the larger health % go even further

hot zephyr
long wharf
#

third is what Taeritimus just said

radiant frigate
hot zephyr
long wharf
#

I use Empathic Evasion in every build

ornate hamlet
#

Ranged attacks deal full toughness damage

ornate hamlet
#

Only melee attacks bleed through

long wharf
#

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

you got hit from behind, most likely

wind spruce
midnight jolt
#

on that note I put 2 toughness and 1 health, feels balanced like that

ornate hamlet

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

having more health also helps when you start taking corruption damage

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

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

vocal cliff
#

It's not fair

long wharf
#

toughness regen is a lot less important now that we have reliable ways of getting toughness back

radiant frigate
#

worthless stat then

long wharf
#

which is why I switched my curios to stamina regen

hot zephyr
wind spruce
ornate hamlet
#

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
long wharf

toughness regen used to be much better

pre-patch 13

midnight jolt

#

Is toughness damage reduction % worthwhile?

hot zephyr
#

Yeah, I must admit that post patch 13 health curios got much better

ornate hamlet
#

I am glad I started using 1 health curio tbh

long wharf
#

toughness DR is always worthwhile

vocal cliff
#

TDR is typically nice to go for

radiant frigate
long wharf
#

it stacks additively with itself

vocal cliff
#

It's why things like iron will are so good

wind spruce
hot zephyr
#

You don't need to STACK health, but you should probably have at least 1 health curio

vocal cliff
#

Actually that might be an unfair example

long wharf
#

which is how veterans can get crazy toughness DR

steep estuary
#

Just that the psyker tree has like a dozen 5% ones

radiant frigate
#

toughness DR is fantastic because sometimes that poxburster doesn't actually bonk through to apply corruption

#

very nice

if you have a spare point, grab a toughness DR node

radiant frigate

makes toughness last longer

long wharf

absolutely

radiant frigate

is good

vocal cliff
steep estuary
#

Gotcha

radiant frigate
#

anything that extends the lifespan of your toughness is good

wind spruce
#

Eg if you have 20% from flat talent nodes and 20% from scriers

long wharf
#

that said, I just about never have a spare point for my builds

wind spruce
#

You get 36% TDR

radiant frigate
#

okay but that's still good

steep estuary
#

What do the stamina bars mean anywho? Blocks?

wind spruce
#

I'd rather spend spare points on extra toughness

radiant frigate
#

not exactly mutually exclusive

midnight jolt
#

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
long wharf
#

each stamina bar is 1.0 value of stamina

#

nothing more to it

steep estuary
#

I see

long wharf
#

also, if you take Kinetic Deflection, your maximum stamina is a part of the block cost calculation

wind spruce
#

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.

steep estuary
#

I use deflector and KD with a deimos rn

long wharf
#

for peril block cost, a +3 stamina curio is as good as getting +25% block cost reduction

#

because it is

radiant frigate
#

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

Does that dodge talent still not work? I see my dodge count went up and they do feel longer

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

i have had something like that happen

i just do not use assail anymore

does not fill a niche i need

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

ornate hamlet
#

One recommendation is installing the true peril mod

faint pier

will do

ornate hamlet
#

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

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?

Funny ragdoll

radiant frigate
#

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

ornate hamlet

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

radiant frigate

illisi 2-tap with charged heavies

ornate hamlet

Ahh interesting. I've heard dueling sword is a good one to focus on next

midnight jolt
#

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

radiant frigate
#

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

tawny pebble

trauma staff obsolete smh

midnight jolt

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

I don’t value the ‘more sweepy’ attacks and I find the mk3 to be easier to land
