psyker-class

[long wharf]

it's revolting

and hideous

[austere crest]

Rollercoaster

[spice veldt]

have a thunderous melee and swap to your melee before the bolt hits

[lethal lagoon]

[spice veldt]

400iq

[long wharf]

quick, what weapons do we have as psykers that get blessings for dealing extra damage to staggered enemies?

[spice veldt]

i think just dclaw isn't it

[hushed egret]

dclaw goes so hard

[long wharf]

dang

[lethal lagoon]

Combat axe has thunderous

Does it have to be stagger?

[spice veldt]

thunderous doesn't have a stagger requirement

just any hit

[long wharf]

I was thinking of a synergy between that and assail

[spice veldt]

i believe DoTs also proc it

[long wharf]

as assail staggers almost everything it hits

[spice veldt]

i forgor though

[wind spruce]

Just skullcrusher I think, but that's adding damage

[lethal lagoon]

Wait, does thunderous hit assail too?

[austere crest]

also run n gun has another damage buff

[wind spruce]

Should do

[spice veldt]

if you've swapped to your melee when the shards land then probably

[lethal lagoon]

have you tried both?(to be clear, I'm not arguing which is better, I have no idea).

[long wharf]

technically, any projectile you fire can take on the properties of your active weapon on impact

[spice veldt]

this is so sad

[harsh urchin]

RnG dmg buff doesnt work fyi

The 10% close range dmg is bugged or sth

[spice veldt]

the damage buff works but only when you're sprinting, iirc

[harsh urchin]

Oh that's pretty dogshit lmao

[spice veldt]

you do get the spread reduction at all times at least

[lethal lagoon]

Oh, horde clear from transfer peril probably wins then. Not really an option of LMB surge though.

[austere crest]

Well thats what run n gun is for silly XD

If you arent sprinting you arent running

[spice veldt]

true we should always trust in the namesake of a blessing to infer what it does

[long wharf]

remember when FartShack renamed Warp Nexus?

[austere crest]

I usually like WarpFlurry and Nexus as a pairing, and then the 10% chance to quell node

[long wharf]

and Rending Shockwave

[austere crest]

yes 😦

So aggressive :/ It's really fun to play with different builds

[tough trench]

what do with exorcist

[spice veldt]

oh interesting skullcrusher does stack from DoTs

skullcrusher dclaw + blazing spirit trauma when

[lethal lagoon]

Thunderous Combat Axe would be better for that, no?

[spice veldt]

thunderous is just brittleness whereas skullcrusher is damage

and trauma being able to dink crushers

[autumn smelt]

hey guys, i just made a psyker build and i wanna know you guys' thoughts on it

[harsh urchin]

How does it work

Is it just a debuff

Or does it get consumed

[spice veldt]

it lasts for 5 seconds after the last application

so as long as they're staggered, they'll take +80% damage

[feral verge]

wtf?? god tier

[eager token]

this thing worth keeping i dont have a decent deimos y et

[autumn smelt]

i know right

i put a ton of effort into it

[urban sandal]

yeah it's good enough

[feral verge]

deimos wants uncanny strike (must have) and executor for blessings

maniac (must have) and elite/carapace/unyielding for perks

[spice veldt]

so this is what you were cooking

you're like the 5th person that I've said this to today, but you're sick in the head

[eager token]

slaughterer good enough instead of executor ya think

?

[autumn smelt]

hey this build is still better than my zealot one, i quite literally cannot spend all 30 points without picking some good nodes on the tree

[spice veldt]

horrifyin

g

[feral verge]

it's not terrible

its one of the better options

not ideal on deimos, like it is on illisi

[tough trench]

friends, again, what do with this?

[feral verge]

exorcist to uncanny strike

and swap unyielding damage to flak

[lethal lagoon]

You can just pull out combat axe and it massively increases purgs damage

Breh

Like you don't have to attack or anything

Thats so fucking wild

I know there's the uncanny stack thing, but that requires effort and risk

[sharp shoal]

Loving deimos trauma bb

Just got cliff hanger with trauma

On a assassination map

[ornate hamlet]

All or nothing is unironically decent on psyker, but you ruined it with those stamina curios

[sharp shoal]

Near the train

Was weird

Now for warp battery

[eager token]

hadron be generous this day..

[sharp shoal]

Nice

[wind spruce]

its only really massive against carapace

[eager token]

its not nice yet

[wind spruce]

its like 10% for flak and unyielding

[sharp shoal]

He gave me a 380 axe

[lethal lagoon]

But skullcrusher works too

[eager token]

gonna play a game to channel my rng

[sharp shoal]

380 grey

Was great

[lethal lagoon]

Unfortunately you can't get both together.

[sharp shoal]

I've been trying to complete cliff hanger I'm after a different penance and randomly got it

[eager token]

wow i blew all my hadron RNG on a 351

[lethal lagoon]

Also keep in mind you are applying thunderous for your whole team with purg just by swapping weapons for a few tics.

Hmmm

[sharp shoal]

I got uncanny 3 precog 4 deimos

[eager token]

wait thats a mk2

NOOO

[long wharf]

that's generally how it goes

[sharp shoal]

With 0 rerolls on it

And 20% maniac

Do I reroll anything

I got sprint which I do use a lot

To get around

My deimos

Pretty good roll

[wind spruce]

true true

[feral verge]

never sprint efficiency

especially on psyker, who already has insane stam regen delay

[sharp shoal]

Okay

[feral verge]

swap to elite/carapace/unyielding

your pick

[sharp shoal]

Done

I went unyielding

I need a 21% health

[wind spruce]

@lethal lagoon its a pity rending shockwave and thunderous dont stack

[sharp shoal]

I got two 17% toughness 3 3 stam

Psyker isn't even my main

[feral verge]

tried stam

never felt needed

stam regen? that i can see

[sharp shoal]

I liked the sprint a lot for creeping up on gunners

[feral verge]

100% not needed

[sharp shoal]

But I do use bb

[feral verge]

dodge slide in g unner direction, shoot staff or gun at gunners to supress them

[sharp shoal]

Bb trauma deimos and vent

[feral verge]

no need to run sprint eff. just to reach gunners

[sharp shoal]

It was what it rolled

I didn't reroll the sword at all till I put unyielding

[austere crest]

Stam Regen is great

[feral verge]

@austere crest

im running this x3

oops

wrong

[sharp shoal]

My psyker has been lvl 30 for 4 days now

[austere crest]

for 4 days? That's solid gear fast nj

[sharp shoal]

I'm buying anything high from the armory as supposedly it secretly increases shop lvl to get higher rolls

Like my 380 grey axe

[feral verge]

it took me months to see a 380 in shop lol

[austere crest]

I think there are alot of conspiracies that are all worth trying. I waste a ton of ordos just rolling bs

[sharp shoal]

He sold me 2 17 toughness and 3 3 stams so far

[feral verge]

i dont think i saw one until maybe june

i have been playing since release

[sharp shoal]

I played 300 hours on pc

[feral verge]

1.7k hours

[sharp shoal]

I recently moved to xbox

It worked for me

[feral verge]

idk how anyone could play this game on controller

[sharp shoal]

Buying the higher rolls

I did both

Controller and keyboard and mouse

I'm using a weird build

But someone mentioned trauma and rending

It works

[feral verge]

I prefer rending shockwave trauma

Over blaze trauma

[austere crest]

Its very strong

[sharp shoal]

Ogryn is 100%

On both tabs

Regular and redacted

[feral verge]

Ogryn is the only class I haven't hit 30

[sharp shoal]

Psyker was my last for 30

And 4 days in

Full gold

17% stams and stuff

[sharp shoal]

toughness

[feral verge]

ogryn too slow and braindead for me

[sharp shoal]

3 stams

[lethal lagoon]

Ogryn is my favorite class for when I wanna brain off

You are functionally immortal if you don't get trapped

[sharp shoal]

I got 2 20% health

[urban sandal]

on specialists, ogryns and gunners, ideally you want to be on the lookout for things like bursters, trappers and dogs and burst them before they get near any team mates

[sharp shoal]

I need that 21

I do typically pop what is aggeored doing the most dmg

[austere crest]

This is my goofy ass bs today

[sharp shoal]

And Any specialists I can

[feral verge]

@austere crest when are you gonna give me that mod

I've asked before in game

I think

I was told to solo beat the twins solo hard mode lol

[sharp shoal]

I got terrifying 4 on trauma atm

it helped me do cliff hanger

Is why I tried it

And it worked

[austere crest]

i believe in u. I did not make the original mod, so feel wrong to share without permission, but can point in right direction via dm

[feral verge]

@austere crest I'm interested

[sharp shoal]

The dump on my trauma is quell

It's a 370

[austere crest]

Theres def a point with hard mode when you can just kite indefinitely, its engaging the twins where it recomplicates itself

thats perfect

bc u can make up for quell via tree

[sharp shoal]

I run vs

Venting shriek

[magic kayak]

I haven't hit 30 on ogryn or vet. Zealot and Psyker are too fun

[austere crest]

me too for the quell

[sharp shoal]

Its only bad when a host Is around

You can't use it

[austere crest]

they're actually so fun its hard to go to other classes

[magic kayak]

yeah agreed

[sharp shoal]

For fear of triggerering it

Earlier I had a zel

Who one hit the sleeping dh

[austere crest]

I get so used to the nimbleness of the movement, and i play super weird

[sharp shoal]

On damn

th

They were using hammee

[austere crest]

then on ogryn its kind of just brain off, destroy, help team

[sharp shoal]

Hammer zel deletes monsters

Just one hit

[urban sandal]

that's about all it does

[sharp shoal]

Lmao

Its useful

One hit the host

Problem solved

No more dh

[austere crest]

XD

[sharp shoal]

good for weeklies

[kind sequoia]

I love charging a mutant and killing it with just one swing

[sharp shoal]

Lol

I can one hit with charge with deimos

[kind sequoia]

It's pure hype, we hug each other

[sharp shoal]

the thruat

Thrust

[feral verge]

The mutie one shot poke with deimos is my favorite thing in the game

[sharp shoal]

right

I got precog 4 on my deimos

and its beautiful

[wind jay]

One tapping muties is up there

really really enjoy the feeling of the speed increase when you get your buffs up on psyker

start feeling like the floor is made of soap lol

[sharp shoal]

Right

[austere crest]

yeah, its the feeling of freedom, even if fleeting

[idle plover]

Ogryn rock on mutie or dueling sword 1 taps are satisfying

[eager token]

is rampage good on mk4 dueling sword

lmao

[urban sandal]

it's not ideal but isn't terrible either

[eager token]

hmm

i have one more 375 to blow

hadron you cheeky lil

[hushed egret]

helps if you dont have a solid crowd clear option otherwise

[bold abyss]

venting strike after smite stun, I need this faster.

[hushed egret]

btw, is there a weird interaction between devils claw parry and kinetic deflection y'all know about?

last time I tried them I parried a crusher and despite having full stamina and getting the parry attack, I still got hit by the attack I parried

also I think I confirmed that force sword push counter attack can trigger perils of the warp if you're already at critical

boew myself up twice

[wind spruce]

Your block wont get broken if you have KD

[austere crest]

crushers have really jank reach too

[wind spruce]

The devils claw parry will always stop the overhead

[austere crest]

Damn no shit?

[wind spruce]

But KD means you actually riposte

You only gain like 10% peril if you perfect parry it aswell lel

[austere crest]

I have not had that experience, but now want to go to meat grinder and fuck around and find out

[spice veldt]

maybe you parried a different enemy's attack

[urban sandal]

overheads seem to have a stricter parry timing than other attacks

[wind spruce]

I can parry them real early

like your sword is coming down from the parry animation

[spice veldt]

the timing is the same since it works like the block, besidees the perfect parry timing window where the stamina cost is significantly less for parrying a block bypass attack

[urban sandal]

I see

even when I did use the dclaw I never even bothered parrying crusher overheads

not worth it

[spice veldt]

for skullcrusher chads (psyker is too slow to take advantage of the crusher being staggered)

[feral verge]

you're too slow

hey everybody, look at arco getting downed at the start of relay station

in the elevator

dumb enough to blow himself up with plasma

cringe

@spice veldt be better

[fading wedge]

lmao someone spotted you on the subreddit today asking where tf the robes went

[hushed egret]

I know it shouldnt but I swear I did

maybe only when the parry pushes you over 100% peril, like how parrying more than you have stamina for does?

[wind spruce]

Yeah your block can still get broken if you're high peril

You shouldn't take damage though

[spice veldt]

your morals and person are irredeemable

[feral verge]

Boom.

[sharp shoal]

I'm getting ready to do the elite peril kill

So I'm trying to blow up

With a elite

[lapis harbor]

can you use Brain Rupture instead of unupgraded Brain Burst for Malleus Monstronum?

[sharp shoal]

you can

It just takes longer

[lapis harbor]

ok idk what we messed up

[sharp shoal]

I don't believe dh counts

I know beast and ogryn do

[lapis harbor]

did it on plague ogryn

idk why it didn't count

[sharp shoal]

Has to be heresy and private game

You only use bb

And you have to kill it

[lapis harbor]

it says heresy or higher

[sharp shoal]

Private game

[lapis harbor]

yep

[sharp shoal]

I did it the other day

90% of its health with bb

Only

It's a weird penance

I'm currently doing 300s with Max warp charge and blowing a elite up with peril

The peril one should be easy

[urban sandal]

yes

works on daemonhosts too

best with a shield ogryn on the team

[sharp shoal]

Friend did dh

It didn't count

[wind spruce]

Is it possible to do this one by holding up at the end of a mission that has an infinite horde?

[sharp shoal]

I did beast and a different friend did og

[wind spruce]

Just a thought

[sharp shoal]

We got ours

I could yeah

[urban sandal]

if said infinite horde has elites and specialists yeah

[sharp shoal]

But nobody to wait with

I had it the other day

If a ogryn didn't kill a bomber

[wind spruce]

If you're setting everything alight you should get atleasy 1 warp charge per 24s surely?

[sharp shoal]

I got 274 of 300

[urban sandal]

oh right I forgot about the blaze node

[sharp shoal]

Cause a ogryn killed a bomber I was targeting

[wind spruce]

Idk I got it ages ago, just seems like it might be worth trying for those that have to do it now it's so hard

[sharp shoal]

It's not hard

[urban sandal]

I got it naturally last patch on a histg archivum sycorax

[sharp shoal]

It's just randoms

It's fairly simple

[eager token]

we did it gang

i think

[sharp shoal]

Nice

[wind spruce]

Noice

[eager token]

now what to swap

[wind spruce]

Pls don't remove riposte

[eager token]

ya riposte will stay

[wind spruce]

Well ya keep riposte and flak and take maniac uncanny

Simples

[eager token]

by god shes perfect

[urban sandal]

I'd have swapped riposte personally but I'm not exactly well versed in dueling swords

[wind spruce]

I fucking love riposte

[sharp shoal]

I'll do that penance with some friends later

The warp battery

[wind spruce]

It procs so much

[eager token]

i too am a riposte fan

[sharp shoal]

I like precog on deimos

Ds is fun with smite

[wind spruce]

Dodge a mutie? Instant 20% crit

[sharp shoal]

No need

Deimos

Dodge precog one hit

[wind spruce]

Dodge sliding ranged attacks? Instant 20% crit

I'd love precog too if the duration was longer

[sharp shoal]

I got this I put unyielding

If I get riposte I'll try it

Atm that's what it rolled as with 0 rerolls

Its good

[wind spruce]

I'm not well versed on the deimos tbh

But doesn't it already one shot muties with a weakspot hit

[sharp shoal]

It has very high single target

Especially on weakspot

You can heavy 2 and 1 shot dodge muties

[wind spruce]

Without precog?

[sharp shoal]

https://youtu.be/6v6uUZI6T5c?si=U-PvAkiu5WLJ0eDI

I was sent this

Deimos in action

It's also good for monsters

[lyric burrow]

this the guy with 2k hours?

one day ill give arco less shit

[wind spruce]

i have this and have literally never used it outside the psykhanium lmao

[sharp shoal]

Very nice

Deimos takes practice

[urban sandal]

unless you've played with chainswords n the like

similar mechanics

[sharp shoal]

I like chainsword

[urban sandal]

got my first 1m damage run

[wind spruce]

What weapon

Also you should switch to ovenproofs scoreboard, hate to break it to ya but you will be below 1mil damage due to the bug

[magic kayak]

I have a long way to go for that but I did almost get 1k kills on reg damnation

surge staff is just amazing honestly

I do want to switch to the other scoreboard

[wind spruce]

scoreboard bug
https://outplayed.tv/media/aQnrBo

[ornate hamlet]

whats ur build if u dont mind me askin

[wind spruce]

its more accurate and you get to look at things like warpfire damage to see how much thats doing, etc

[ornate hamlet]

surge staff is the exltricity one right?

[wind spruce]

Yeah

[magic kayak]

ill post it. yeah, I use that, plus dueling sword mkiv

[ornate hamlet]

whats blessings should I look for

my build if funky ll

[wind spruce]

Warp flurry, warp nexus, flak damage, maniac damage

[magic kayak]

I use this

the ranged crit chance isn't ideal but it does crit alot so its not horrible

[ornate hamlet]

what would be a beter perk instead

[magic kayak]

flak damage

if you can do flak and maniac that's preffered

the warp charges are important because you run inner tranquility. When you're at 6 stacks, that's 36% less warp generation which lets you shoot a ton of electricity, quell some, and do it again. I don't vent unless it's an emergency really

[ornate hamlet]

BB is good?

[magic kayak]

BB is ok for long range elite killing, honestly I hardly use it

you can take a point off empathic evasion if you want the perilous combustion

but I like the ranged dodge, it really does wonders

[ornate hamlet]

gotcha

ty for the buikld

[lethal lagoon]

This is probably the most orthodox surge btw

Can't get more basic bitch than this.

[ornate hamlet]

if someone held u at gun point which would be better tho 🤔

[magic kayak]

yeah big difference is no EE, take PC, and go to kinetic deflection

[ornate hamlet]

ill probbaly do both

[magic kayak]

I don't find myself blocking that often to be honest for KD. For PC I feel like 3 stacks realy isn't that much damage

[lethal lagoon]

I mean basic bitch is probably better in general, but ultimately you need to tailor a build to your plastyle.

I also don't really use KD that often.

[magic kayak]

yeah

now if you're using force sword with deflector, I'd probably put KD back on

[lethal lagoon]

KD is good for all scenarios really, esp if you haven't learned boss movements or proper positioning.

You can get out of huge mistakes with KD

[magic kayak]

agreed. Or if you accidentally aggro a DH

deflector is also an amazing blessing if you find yourself in the open with gunners raining hell on yu

[lethal lagoon]

KD is also good for clutches, if you are solo and your team is dead, but that's not too helpful for someone new 😅

[magic kayak]

I took battle meditation here also because I ended up being able to lightning for days

[lethal lagoon]

BM conflicts with peril edging is the primary problem

[wind spruce]

Battle meditation is so mid, you kill 100 enemies and you get back one full peril bar. Big woop

[magic kayak]

well, 10% plus 36% is more like 13.6% peril

[urban sandal]

yeah ik

rending trauma

and ds4

[lethal lagoon]

Oh hmm, even on my biggest kill missions, I only get back like 15 peril bars. I never thought about it like that.

[magic kayak]

peril edging isn't effected too badly by it I don't find, it's not much

[wind spruce]

Eggzachary

[magic kayak]

honestly I haven't messed with this build in awhile, I might take off BM and warp expenditure

[lethal lagoon]

Still gonna run it on my meme smite builds, might rethink it else where.

[magic kayak]

don't even know why I have WE on here

[lethal lagoon]

Well, how much peril are you generating in a mission is a good question though.

[hushed egret]

I did it with daemonhost, it counts

[magic kayak]

the other way to look at BM though, is 1 in 10 kills, which is nearly 3 casts of surge staff puts you down below 100% peril

[ornate hamlet]

dsamn

[magic kayak]

so if I cast and end up at 100%, now I have to quell, but if BM goes off I can just cast again

[lethal lagoon]

But you are typically spamming flaming shriek on a surge build 🤷‍♂️

At least I am

[magic kayak]

I keep my stacks at 6 as long as possible

I can prioritize elites and disablers etc, then vent if I accidentally am about to pop or if it's a situation where people are down and horde needs to die

losing that 36% peril generation reduction hurts

plus you get 24% base damage at 6 stacks too

[ornate hamlet]

should i go pc?

[lethal lagoon]

As in perilous combustion or PC as in computer

[ornate hamlet]

perilous

[lethal lagoon]

Perilous combustion, Surge, and Flaming Shriek are salt and pepper.

[wind spruce]

Perilous combustion is great

[magic kayak]

yeah I just swapped out warp expenditure for PC

that was a mistake when I was moving points around

[dense bear]

What weapons do you guys typically use alongside this talent build? (sorry been following along)

[magic kayak]

surge staff specifically. melee is up to you

[eager token]

surge staff + melee of choice

[lethal lagoon]

The one I linked?

[magic kayak]

I'm using this

[dense bear]

Yessir

[lethal lagoon]

Surge Staff, Mk4.

That Mk4 ^ is

[eager token]

i love kinetic deflection + deflector too much 😭

[dense bear]

Appreciate it! Super new and trying to wrap my head around space schizo

[magic kayak]

yeah force sword is my first love, but dueling sword is my younger lover lol

[lethal lagoon]

Surge staff is a good starting point, it tends to be a hit or miss with people though.

[eager token]

yea im just getting into dueling swords they're p nice

love surge

[magic kayak]

this is my gunker ranged weapon of choice lol

the perks and blessings arent done yet, trying to unlock them

[wind spruce]

DS 4 is psykers best melee by a lot

[lethal lagoon]

Agrippa just doesn't feel like it syngerizes with psyker that well.

[eager token]

gunker is so stupid man

[magic kayak]

it does with gunker!

[dense bear]

Yeah Im swapping off of a BB, venting shriek build with a voidstrike mk 4

[lethal lagoon]

Columbus mk5 is wild, definitely going to get nerfed.

[eager token]

ya deservedly so

[magic kayak]

yeah mk5 columbus is silly

[lethal lagoon]

Voidstrike is also a hit or miss, all the staves really are. They are pretty unique gameplay wise.

[eager token]

voidstrike just shoots giant bowling balls its hilarious

[magic kayak]

this caxe is ridiculous too for melee, I end up cleaving through hordes easier than my zealot when scriers gaze is up

[eager token]

i feel like you have to get so close to use them properly

[lethal lagoon]

I mean all the staves are good, but are they fun for you personally, definitely varies.

[eager token]

but prob just a vibes thing

[magic kayak]

the dsiv is nice range honestly, the heavy pokes pretty far

I poke crushers in the face and dash backwards

while yelling "have at thee cur!"

[lethal lagoon]

ds4 is overtuned to a high degree, I'm surprised it's lasted so long.

3 pokes to kill a crusher is wild

[magic kayak]

haha I mean, force sword can do it in one blow

[wet belfry]

DS is limited by being tied to a psyker.

Zealot with DS would be horrifying.

[ornate hamlet]

i have one point left what should i throw it on

[lethal lagoon]

DS is limited because if other classes had it they wouldn't use anything else

[magic kayak]

force sword is also amazing with the push back and the h2 knocks down crushers like a force staff

zealot with DS would be bae

[lethal lagoon]

Show ur tree, https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor take a screenshot of it.

[urban sandal]

one of the dueling swords needs a parry

[eager token]

fr tho

[magic kayak]

yeah it's sacriligious that it doesn't already

[ornate hamlet]

whats ds4

[magic kayak]

dueling sword mkiv

[lethal lagoon]

Dueling sword mark 4

[urban sandal]

mk4 dueling sword

[wet belfry]

Though i likely have a higher success rate with knife then DS4

[magic kayak]

I win.

[eager token]

embrace tank psyker memes

[magic kayak]

with uncanny blessing?

[rich jolt]

Fastest draw

[eager token]

tanker?? psytank??

[ornate hamlet]

it doesnt let me post screenshots

[wind spruce]

If you aren't running 11 stamina are you even a tanker

[rich jolt]

It should

[eager token]

no damage 11 stamina kinetic deflection deflector run soon

[lethal lagoon]

Maybe you have to do the server rules thing

[eager token]

yo thats a hammer

[magic kayak]

how is that a hammer

If I can shoot lightning out of my hammer like thor... I want to do that.

[eager token]

surge force hammer

[lethal lagoon]

It's a secret beta skin for being the first 100 players to beat t5

[wind spruce]

This is true

[magic kayak]

Imagine zealot psyker where thammer shoots surge out of it

[lethal lagoon]

It's hammer time

[magic kayak]

and you can cast smite as alt fire

[eager token]

we are almost twins

[wind spruce]

Did you know that destroying barrels gets you more ordo dockets

[lethal lagoon]

Oh that's an ancient staff, I don't run weapon custom mod anymore.

[eager token]

[lethal lagoon]

No twinsis 😦

[rich jolt]

Does it? Or are you joking?

[urban sandal]

only if you blow your teammates off a cliff

[wind spruce]

I never joke

[rich jolt]

If they dont come back you get there reward

[lethal lagoon]

My current staff on my alt psyker is pretty close though 🙂

[magic kayak]

the hidden op is psyker's pickpocket ability

[eager token]

purdy

i like my double 69 stats though

[lethal lagoon]

I've been really liking unyielding on surge

[wind spruce]

69 penetration

[lethal lagoon]

When you don't have a boss buster on your team, it does the job well.

[ornate hamlet]

i think i need the convict role

[magic kayak]

have you guys unlocked the secret achievement where you burst your own head inside a beast of nurgle? it's instakill on the monster

[wind spruce]

Don't talk about my mum like that

[lethal lagoon]

You are the first person I've seen chatting without it lmao

[ornate hamlet]

lol

[magic kayak]

Yeah I didn't even know you could do that

[lethal lagoon]

I would have assumed that you wouldn't be able to chat or do anything or even see the channels

[ornate hamlet]

whack

[lethal lagoon]

Like most servers don't you have to read the rules or respond to the bot that messages you or something?

[ornate hamlet]

think i can dm one of yll my build then? the surge staff build is a boss buster right?

[magic kayak]

I mean, it does ok on bosses

[lethal lagoon]

I wouldn't call Surge staff a boss buster lmao

[magic kayak]

yeah more like a french tickler

[ornate hamlet]

just good at killing?

[lethal lagoon]

Psyker isn't really a boss guy, but surge does okay compared to other options.

[magic kayak]

it's going to pop people from a distance, stun them, and generally be an amazing tool because it auto aims

[dawn spoke]

the only way you're doing good boss damage on psyker is a gun

[lethal lagoon]

If you want a surge build, just run the one I linked, no need to think too much.

[magic kayak]

yeah gunker. I do 30-40k on bosses with my revolver

[long wharf]

surge staff tickles bosses the way freddy kreuger would if you replaced his knives with baseball bats

[magic kayak]

nerf bats

[long wharf]

I mean, the damage is technically noticeable, but nothing to write home about

[lethal lagoon]

40-50 RMBs to kill a boss isn't that bad when you consider teammates damage. If there's no boss specialists, I'm usually first place with it.

[magic kayak]

its no one shot zealot thammer build thats for sure

[eager token]

i live for shooting beasts of nurgle in the back with gunker or revolver vet

[magic kayak]

same. very satisfying

I like the quickdraw because its meme

[lethal lagoon]

Which is why I can't run Agrippa on Psyker

[magic kayak]

what do I need to swap this stam for?

flak/maniac?

i want crucian but it wont drop for me

[magic kayak]

and they say revolver doesn't synergize with psyker

[lethal lagoon]

That's vet....

[ornate hamlet]

aight heres my build

[magic kayak]

=X

[lethal lagoon]

If you don't wanna use KD or smite, looks good

[ornate hamlet]

i got one point left tho

[magic kayak]

your extra point can go to either crit chance, or toughness, etc

[ornate hamlet]

gotch ty

[lethal lagoon]

Crit chance is a good option, so is 15 toughness.

[magic kayak]

uh oh hes red boys

[lethal lagoon]

If you are running toughness curios, the 15 toughness might give you more value

[magic kayak]

yeah agreed

I do the 3 stam, max hp, max toughness for mine

[ornate hamlet]

no wounds?

[wind spruce]

You have 5% ranged damage as an option but idk how people feel about that

[lethal lagoon]

Wounds are... meh.

[ornate hamlet]

i think crit with surge would go crazy so im porbably gonna invest in that

im trynna get 1 mil damage

[magic kayak]

yeah wounds dont really do much for psyker

[ornate hamlet]

gotcha

[magic kayak]

I've wondered about that ranged damage too, if its base or not. otherwise seems pretty bad

[lethal lagoon]

You aren't gonna get 1 mil damage with Surge BB unless it's a melee maelstrom.

[ornate hamlet]

damn

[lethal lagoon]

Melee maelstroms you can just spam surge and do well

[magic kayak]

its also really hard to do 1 mill dmg on any build

[ornate hamlet]

what build is an option then 🤔

[magic kayak]

especially if team is doing well

[lethal lagoon]

For non-melee maelstrom 1 mil?

Columbus Assail is probably your best bet

Blaze trauma works too, but is harder.

[magic kayak]

purg staff

with wildfire.

[ornate hamlet]

damn

errrr

[magic kayak]

😂

[orchid shadow]

Don't you basically have to have 2 useless teammates so you can do all the damage that they would normally do to do 1mil?

[magic kayak]

yeah basically

[ornate hamlet]

god damn

would i still put in work with the surge staf build?? im just trynna carry

[magic kayak]

you can def carry with surge staff

[ornate hamlet]

pogo

[orchid shadow]

There's only so much stuff to kill on a map, unless you're dawdling and letting the AI director throw hordes at you.

[wet belfry]

Surge is mid at best

[wet belfry]

It isnt the single target monster of some guns and it doesnt have the horde clear of other staffs.

[magic kayak]

I don't think that makes it mid though

[ornate hamlet]

no wild file?

[magic kayak]

nah not wild fire I was joking about that

surge has good range, stuns 3 enemies at once and body blocks those behind them

[wet belfry]

Well guns bring more to the table while higher single target dps.

[magic kayak]

I don't disagree, gunker is awesome

[wet belfry]

Ex my gun build on psyker buffs duelling sword alot.

[magic kayak]

but I don't think gunker is good for someone learning the game really

[wet belfry]

While my surge build has to near solely focus on surge to hit BPS

[ornate hamlet]

bps?

[orchid shadow]

I guess that's it everyone. No one play surge staff anymore and try to get on Wilmer's level. 😛

[wind spruce]

Breakpoints

[wet belfry]

Breakpoints

[magic kayak]

lol

[ornate hamlet]

oh gotcha

whats gunker

[wind spruce]

Gun psyker

[magic kayak]

the true end game.

[ornate hamlet]

oh i love that yeah thats what i run most of the time

i try to buff my smite with the 2 other damage buffs then i use it

[magic kayak]

surge staff is good because it autoaims, you can reach out and tickle people from a distance, it's reliable, no ammo usage, and it crits a lot. It's a steady build. I wouldn't use it for auric maelstrom though but it can be done

[ornate hamlet]

i use EP with those stackked 5 each and i deal damage B) or at least it feels like it

[wind spruce]

These takes are absolute bananas. Surge is not mid and is absolutely auric maelstrom ready

[ornate hamlet]

wait sorry to interrupt but

should i not go bubble then? i have bubble on my

smite build

[magic kayak]

no no, the gun is way better so nothing else can be viable

[ornate hamlet]

my OG build

[magic kayak]

bubble is fine if you dont act silly and place it in weird spots.

[orchid shadow]

It's fine in auric maelstrom. When you use surge, you have to deal with the fact that you have to tailor each part of your build to specialize. It's not going to be like Void where you can do horde and single target in one package.

[wet belfry]

If surge gets outperformed by another playstyle in the same role isnt that the defintion of being mid?

[ornate hamlet]

my bubblrd are nutsd

[onyx lotus]

Does the "Blessed by Fate" penance require me to not upgrade Psykinetic's Wrath to Venting Shriek?

[wind spruce]

No, lmao

[magic kayak]

not really. I think mid is purg staff

plus cmkv is pretty overtuned right now

[wet belfry]

Surge isnt a top tier because other weapons are top tier.

[magic kayak]

If you put gunker in S, I'd put surge in A

[ornate hamlet]

whats cmkv. sorry i have so many questions

im new to late game

[magic kayak]

columbus mk v

[orchid shadow]

Columnus MkV Infantru Autogun

[magic kayak]

I need a good one

[ornate hamlet]

why are these names this way lol

ty

[lethal lagoon]

Warhammer lore

[lethal lagoon]

Was about to say, wtf is that lmao.

[magic kayak]

lol something I got as mission reward

[covert rune]

Is it just me or is the venting shriek have a little less pushback than in the older builds?
I'm just asking since I'm trying to do the cliffhanger achievement and I'm finding some difficulties.

[magic kayak]

best way is the mission with those bridges and the hordes that come at you while youre in the middle, cant remember what its called

[lethal lagoon]

use the base damage one for pushback

[orchid shadow]

That's Vigil Station finale

[ornate hamlet]

what blessings and perks should i have for the cmkv

[magic kayak]

thats the one

[lethal lagoon]

DumDum Fire frenzy

[magic kayak]

perks are what on it?

[wet belfry]

Crit chance, flak. Dum dum, fire frenzy

[ornate hamlet]

dum dum,b?

[magic kayak]

is my gun even worth rerolling?

[ornate hamlet]

also ty

[lethal lagoon]

You have 4 bad rolls brother

[magic kayak]

maybe I'll get lucky, this one seems like a good base

[lethal lagoon]

Yep, DumDum

[orchid shadow]

You can try it on Hab Dreyko final scan and chase with endless horde. It has a pit with bits of the railing missing. The problem is you have to wait until the end of the mission.

[covert rune]

Does the + dmg perk (warp rupture) give additional pushback?

[lethal lagoon]

That's what I was told, I never personally checked though

I just did hab dreyko and spammed force sword push on the ending pipe

[wet belfry]

Pushback should be tied to peril

[lethal lagoon]

Pushback was tied to warp charges back in the day

[covert rune]

Is it tied to both warp charges and peril now?

[lethal lagoon]

No fucking clue

[magic kayak]

is this blessing fodder?

I have never used this gun but I never hear about it so feel like its not worth the time

[lethal lagoon]

Columbus crit strings are just too overwhelming on psyker.

[ornate hamlet]

okay i got dumdum

ima see if i can get fire frenzy

[magic kayak]

well that was quick.

[ornate hamlet]

i dropped almost all of my ordos for a decen columbus

i got superl ucky first roll tho

[lethal lagoon]

#1158835513789272126 message
Good starter for columbus until you understand what you personally want
I prefer dueling sword mk4 instead of dagger for this though.

[wind spruce]

The power on close ranged kill blessing is also fine if you can't get fire frenzy

[lethal lagoon]

Guy who made the build posted a bunch of scoreboards with 1 mil+ since that's what you are into lmao.

[ornate hamlet]

ty for advice yall are awesome

[magic kayak]

nice build. personally I like the caxe though for horde clear

[ornate hamlet]

i got raking fire

[magic kayak]

I mean look at this beauty

[lethal lagoon]

DumDum is the important part

If you wanna try running it.

DumDum, +25% Flak damage, are the important factors.

[ornate hamlet]

gotcha yeah ima try to see if i can swap it with something else but im excited bceause ive been looking for a good gun for my smite build

gotcha

[wet belfry]

Scriers gaze can be used like a second keystone.

[lethal lagoon]

Smite build you say #psyker-class message

[wet belfry]

With enough cooldown reduction it has around a 40% uptime ingame

Then theres also the scriers gaze stacks staying for another period ingame.

[ornate hamlet]

savcing that one

wheres gaze at im having trouble finding it lol

[lethal lagoon]

Bottom right, horizontal from shriek.

[dawn spoke]

that psychic sniper build... 👌

rolled an incredibly good vraks 7 and tried it out

I'm sad the kantrael XII is better for it tho

it's better than my veteran's v7 even

[lethal lagoon]

Just turn the revolver into an actual sniper with the weapon custom mod

[magic kayak]

I copied telopots build for my gunker

I definitely like disrupt destiny for the simple fact that it keeps my movement speed up

[ornate hamlet]

this gun is nasty

lol

i get my stacks so easy with it

[flint aspen]

Surge with Disrupt Destiny?

[lethal lagoon]

Uhh, if you are LMB memeing, sure.

With right click it's meh.

[magic kayak]

that would be a very interesting combo. Feel like void would be the one for that

[lethal lagoon]

DD isn't that great on void because it encourages you to not go after bowling alleys at tmes.

[magic kayak]

I sometimes wonder if Purg with DD would make sense simply because everything will die close to you anyways

yeah I guess that's true if you tend to focus on the marked enemy

[deep pine]

How is ammo on the gunker build

[lethal lagoon]

Assail is there to help with ammo economy.

So quite rough lmao

[magic kayak]

does anyone know if cruel fortune only adds 2 stacks of DD if you weakspot kill the marked target?

wording is not specific

[wet belfry]

3

[lethal lagoon]

It should be 3

yeah

[magic kayak]

but it only affects killing marked target right?

[lethal lagoon]

Yep

[magic kayak]

the way it's written makes it sound like you'd get 2 stacks off weakspot kills even on non marked enemies

[lethal lagoon]

That would be wildly ridiculous but fun lmao.

[magic kayak]

haha yeah for sure

void strike bowling ball abunch of heads...

[eager token]

purgatus enjoyers rise up

budget smite

[limber silo]

"budget" smite

purge is way better than smite

it actually does damage

and still staggers

[silent socket]

Question: What are the differences between all the force swords-

[limber silo]

Deimos is single target, Illisi is hordes

Obscurus doesn't exist anymore

[silent socket]

Okay-

[rich jolt]

Obscurus is also used for single target but its just a worse deimos

[midnight epoch]

knife

[flint aspen]

what makes it a worse deimos

[limber silo]

The stats are just more rounded

Worse penetration, worse combos

The is no benefit to obscurus right now

[wind spruce]

I fucking love DD with void

[spice veldt]

it has the same adms as the other two force swords

[wind spruce]

With assail and creeping flames maintaining stacks ain't too hard

[spice veldt]

the obscurus just lacks a heavy stab and has one of the most god awful fucking lights

[plucky flax]

Does the +5% range damage node increase burn damage? I think not right?

Just tested anyway it d oesn't.

[near wyvern]

I disagree. It's fantastic with void, highlights those sneaky ranged enemies that would have otherwise gone un-noticed and helps with one shots. Also gives extra toughness back on ranged fights.

The key is to not treat the highlight as your primary target but just treat it as an increased awareness tool. The moment you chase the blues you are doing it wrong unless it's a ranged only fight.

[shy prairie]

I will chase the blues nonetheless

[plucky flax]

I'm taking this build I inspected a guy in my morning star.

What toughness regen?

[indigo portal]

You already get toughness for breathing what is that

[plucky flax]

Guy was lvl 319 so his build must be good.

EP BB + bubble + toughness galore.

[near wyvern]

So what's the game plan just sit in bubble and BB all day?

I bet they quell all the way after hitting 100 when spamming BB

[lyric burrow]

Tf

[lethal lagoon]

Ruining my good reputation

[lethal lagoon]

Your willpower is greater than mine.

[ornate hamlet]

which is void

[lethal lagoon]

Voidstrike?

[plucky flax]

It's with purga staff.

So I guess bb and advance with purga

And bubble

[ornate hamlet]

yeah

[lethal lagoon]

I don't get what you are asking

[plucky flax]

I don't think it's bad build

[lethal lagoon]

#psyker-class message

It's peak psyker gaming.

But don't run bubble

[plucky flax]

Oh this is bb ep build though.

And bubble.

I must run bubble.

[lethal lagoon]

[ornate hamlet]

wheres void strike on skill treee

i am slow

[lethal lagoon]

Voidstrike is a staff

[ornate hamlet]

LOL

oh that explains a lot

is it the aoe gound slam?

or explosive projectil;e

[lethal lagoon]

Latter

[ornate hamlet]

whats the worst class in your honest opinion

[plucky flax]

Psyker of course

[lethal lagoon]

If the goal is only "winning the highest difficulty", then probably vet or zealot.

Ogryn is easy mode, and psyker has so many tools to make the game easier.

But you can't just say "worst class" without a clear criteria for what you are judging.

[plucky flax]

Like bubble and smite.

[ornate hamlet]

i mean personality wise

[elder glade]

Personality?

[ornate hamlet]

yeah of the vets

🤔

[lethal lagoon]

50% of zealots just rush in, get trapped, get downed, repeat till they rage quit.(TBF, I'm not being that serious)

So probably zealots

[ornate hamlet]

ogryns the best?

[silent socket]

Is this good so far

[lethal lagoon]

Bubble and smite makes...

[elder glade]

I would kind of agree with zealots tbh. I've had more negative interactions with zealots than any other class, but that's only by a small margin and mostly because the people playing them in those cases have no concept of this thing called "situational awareness".

[ornate hamlet]

LOL

[lethal lagoon]

If we are going by negative interactions, then last place on the scoreboard is #1 by far

[unique mist]

gameplay wise, vet or zealot
personality wise, vet 100%

[lethal lagoon]

No one complains more in voice chat than last place on the scoreboard

[unique mist]

traxis something something shut the fuck up

[lethal lagoon]

No one flames more either

[elder glade]

STAND UP AND FIGHT

[silent socket]

Hey uhhh seriously I need advice-

[unique mist]

vet is easily the worst class IMO in terms of voicelines/personality

[silent socket]

I dont know if this is a good sword or not and I came to psyker chat for a reason-

[lethal lagoon]

Your perks are bricked.

The blessings is 0 or 100 depending on your desires.

[unique mist]

dont do that

[wind spruce]

Bro chill, and crit hit damage is useless

[elder glade]

How to get shot in two seconds

[silent socket]

What about the other stuff-

[lethal lagoon]

Ask for advice, ignores advice

I shouldn't have replied honestly.

[silent socket]

AYE. Im sorry. . .

[lethal lagoon]

[silent socket]

Would extra rations make up for it?

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah

[wind spruce]

Deflector is good if you want it, but that's completely personal

[unique mist]

crit damage perk is bad, unyielding is eh, deflector is personal preference

[silent socket]

It'd be nice to survive for more then 2 seconds against a gunner

[wind spruce]

Try dodge sliding

[elder glade]

Dodge slide is your friend

[silent socket]

*Gunner's

[elder glade]

Dodge slide

[unique mist]

always run double gunner resist

[silent socket]

*Gunners from all angles-

[elder glade]

Dodge slide

[silent socket]

And that mutant from arizona-

[lethal lagoon]

Gunner survival is something you learn over time

[unique mist]

say dodge slide 1 more time

[elder glade]

Dodge slide

[wind spruce]

Dodge slide 1 more time

Did I do it right

[elder glade]

I think so

[lethal lagoon]

No

[silent socket]

Poxburster gunner, with trapper and flamer combo-

[lethal lagoon]

You typed it, you didn't say it

[elder glade]

Ah

Darn

[wind spruce]

Fuck

[wind spruce]

You git gud

[lethal lagoon]

Poxburster's are bugged just get spidey sense mod for them lmao

[ornate hamlet]

what damage resisrts should I have?

[unique mist]

2x gunner

[lethal lagoon]

40% gunner, 40% sniper is what I run.

[wind spruce]

Poxhounds and mutants

[unique mist]

that's all imo

[lethal lagoon]

The true meta

[unique mist]

snipers are easier to dodge

so i'd rather run somethinge else

[lethal lagoon]

Snipers that are targetting other players and then quick swap to you are undodgeable

[ornate hamlet]

whpoa

[lethal lagoon]

Anyways, its definitely personal choice, I personally don't like 1 mistake(that's not a mistake) nuking a whole game

But 40% gunner resist at least is meta by far

[ornate hamlet]

ill stock up on gunner resist

i got resist for every sopecialist that tilts me when im doing runs just by expereince

[wind spruce]

I like 2 gunners 1 sniper 3 combat regen and 3 toughness a lot of the time

[lethal lagoon]

I like

[elder glade]

Dopamine

[lethal lagoon]

Real talk, I wish there was a keystone I could hit while having these stats

I've wanted 200 toughness like an oldschool vet on psyker forever

[wind spruce]

No 225

[lethal lagoon]

220 HP though

[ornate hamlet]

damn howd u get that

wilddddd

[lethal lagoon]

L33t Hacks

[ornate hamlet]

truly

[wind spruce]

such sad

[visual estuary]

Alright, need some advice, is trauma still viable?

I kinda missed big explody

[lethal lagoon]

Blaze Trama is ridiculous

[elder glade]

Me with only 140 165

[visual estuary]

I'll try it

What kind of melee?

[lethal lagoon]

mk4

[visual estuary]

Alright, going to try this out and take a look at blessing and see what we find

[lethal lagoon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmMGD1ev5rE Just copy them, they have a bunch of blaze trauma vids

[visual estuary]

Wait, I've been using Mk V

[wind spruce]

atlas has no keystone with those numbers tho

[lethal lagoon]

Oh they are also using mk 5 in that video, cough cough, ignore me

[wind spruce]

looks like this

[visual estuary]

Mk V with uncanny strike with rampage

[lethal lagoon]

mk 5 has a really nice dodge slide

[visual estuary]

But those blessings might not be so good.

[lethal lagoon]

But combat wise it's super mid

[visual estuary]

Yea that's what I love about it.

[lethal lagoon]

Compared to mk4

[visual estuary]

Still easy to dodge with mk4?

[lethal lagoon]

But with blaze trauma you are using blaze trauma 95-99% of the time

[visual estuary]

And how's the cleave?

Yea

[lethal lagoon]

What cleave? That's what the blaze trauma is for

[visual estuary]

Basically kinda what I do with voidstrike anyway

So basically play like I play voidstrike except splosion comes from ground

[lethal lagoon]

I've been running base HP these days

[wind spruce]

@lethal lagoon peak

[lethal lagoon]

I literally changed a 5% to a 4% because that 202 drove me crazy.

[elder glade]

[lethal lagoon]

So opposite of peak

[wind spruce]

Fair lmao

[lethal lagoon]

I also have that

But I don't like it

[wind spruce]

beat me to it

[lethal lagoon]

It doesn't have the same visceral satisfaction as 200 toughness.

[wind spruce]

nah 200 220 is peak

u r right

[lethal lagoon]

Beat you to it by about 2 months

[wind spruce]

bitch i showed u that

Damn I do really low damage.

But I think I'm helping. :>

[lethal lagoon]

Average Bubble Smiter Copium

[hearty oak]

You must not like melee only maelstroms

[plucky flax]

I took very little damage though.

And bubble during melee only horde was surely helping team. :>

[hearty oak]

Yeah for the snipers in my melee only melstrom

[plucky flax]

All the toughness regen nodes were useless too.

Very based build.

[strong gulch]

Now do double wall and randomly place it for more EP BB.

[plucky flax]

But I actually killed a fair amount of specials with ep bb.

Way more than I normally do just running stock bb.

[tribal sparrow]

is the tickle fingers ability any good?

(sparky zap zap)

[plucky flax]

Yes.

[hearty oak]

When will they buff shield wall to be able to kill stuff upon placement

[tribal sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/well-that-settles-it-settled-done-done-deal-happy-gif-15096706

[plucky flax]

It's good if you combine it with creeping flames.,

So you can actually do damage. Otherwise it'd just stun, which is still good, but not as good.

[hearty oak]

Its good just dont make it your loadout

[tribal sparrow]

naaa i was thinking to help with crowd controll on my ganker

[hearty oak]

On gunker? its ehhh... questionable. Im more DPS focused so the tasing of enemies just seems pointless if i could just kill them with shards

[strong gulch]

Smite is good for utility and CC. It's easy to fall into the trap of just holding down the smite and you just stand there... forever.

[lethal lagoon]

0 weakspots 0 crits meta

I need an Ogryn saying "A'men" before brutally killing someone.

[strong gulch]

Smite gunker is fine. Less damage, but it's fine. I'd only take it on ammo efficient guns like the older revolver. But then you have to really lean into your melee.

A man. smash
