you can also just QQ cancel
you don't need a macro if you have good keybinds
e.g., i have ranged on Q, melee on E, and blitz on X
yeah i mean im doing it without a macro there, but lets be honest
its not exactly easy to consistently time every cancel
and when you cancel too early you skip a shot completely so
day 60 of begging for a psyker set with no goofy headgear
It’s definitely something that becomes consistent with practice. But until you reach that point just mashing would be more consistent.
extra 5 bucks for that buddy
the moebian rebreather is really good looking though
idk some of the psyker headgear is fine
how about i simply dont buy the head gear huh
wich one is that?
the free one that came with patch 13
i just hate that the ones called " rebreather" sometimes change your voice and sometimes dont
hair still meshes with most neck braces
there's no way to check if a headpiece has voice mod so that's also annoying
sadly ye
just make it consistent, if its got a sealed mouth covering, it changes your voice
ez, logical
better yet make it a toggle upon using anything with a mouth cover
some changes as if you're using a gas mask, others dont, some has a voice modulation box that turns you into darth vader it's annoying
clips like hell but if you have a bald psyker it looks nice
crazy that pretty much the exact same is also in the premium store
running an assail voidstrike build and have 1 point left... wondering if it would be best to put it into Malefic Momentum for some extra damage or put it into Psychic Leeching for self/team toughness
not sure why this node wasnt included in the build im following but it seems like for an assail-spamming build, this would be insanely good?
it's very good, though it's fair not to include it because almost every node you grab near the top regens your toughness
and psyker doesnt have that much toughness
Here's what the top looks like for me
lol you got nearly all of em
soul stealer already similar enough and its for any kill
do you already have the block talent on the right? That one's good if you ahve spare
It had a point in Perilous Combustion but that seems like absolute trash so I figured I'd add it to either psychic leeching or malefic momentum
pc is very good
not having PC needs a pretty good justification
Actually decent info from youtube vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_gT9i-YZuw
Completely new at editing so this took me forever.. Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

#darktide
🤔 was watching tanner lindberg's video and it does like no dmg though
lol tanner
he was shitting allll over it lol
it does plenty dmg
it's an opinion*
basically he said if im not running tons of soulfire then its garbage
it’s free dmg
due to how cleave works too, an enemy that catches on fire dies a hit faster to melee so it helps tons
i guess though, if you arent running creeping flames then it has a bit less value, but its still hella good
yeah if you dont have creeping or any other way to apply soulblaze, skip it.
i dont know, its still good
if youre running void and assail you arent likely to care about MM that much
lol how come? You wouldn't be able to trigger the talent at all
where is creeping flames in my tree
gah im getting names mixed up
im not running any soulblaze, but still use pc
cant find it
its on the shriek
its a fucken lifesaver
if you arent running shriek then u wont have it
and u wont cos, assail
well, maybe u do
oh ye i dont use that i use bubble
pc is the elite one right?
because of how enemies come at you in real games
can confirm
i was thinking that MM would be great for after i just swapped off my dueling sword
PC is sets nearby enemies on fire whenever u kill an elite
okay, I thought I was going crazy
wildfire is burning enemies spread fire
very hard to skip unless you just can't path to it for some reason
hmm, guess ill keep it then
wildfire is much less value than PC, and definitely not worth taking without a fire focussed build
thats what I mean to say
but like i say, imagine a shotgunner patrol
you kill half of them and walk away
the rest burn to death
it does
its about the stack count you reach
you need to reach enough stacks by killing stuff
yeah but if im only using pc thats nly 3 stacks lol
on lower difficulties there arent enough elites for it to be good
unless u mean killing mulitple elites
yeah and 7 stacks will kill poxwalkers
but, in this game, when do you see 1 elite?
not often
try 10
ah thats a fair point i wasnt thinking about killing multiple elites applying multiple sets of 3 stacks
although i will say, i feel like this assail build isnt really doing as well against elite/flak/carapace in higher difficulties
maybe i just need to be using vs and dueling more than i am
ah ok. so im overusing assail then
i mean assail will be your main horde clearing tool with such a build
ive been practicing my melee and vs a bit more lately because i had a feeling i was overusing assail
I mainly use assail for clear and snipers
i like to farm true aim stacks with melee and then throw a shard after that
but anything carapace is gonna ruin youir day and eat all the shards
and then combine it with a lil dd on top
mhmm
is overpowering souls going to be better than bio-lodestone?
the build calls for overpowering (triggers on elite kills) but bio-lodestone almost doubles your chance to trigger EP universally on all kills so idk
but then again
or is EP just shit? i see a lot of talk about the other 2 keystones but not much talk about EP
you already have chances to proc on horder anyway
^ ye maybe that was their logic (build maker)
well, EP is like "im making my blitz my main weapon" keystone
ahhh ok, sounds appropriate then
and most people dont play like that
its nice if you're using brain burst
its good for his assail void build too honestly
im playing a spammy assail build
he doesnt care TOO much about the DD bonuses
my asssail definitely like never runs out haha i do notice that
yeah thats what EP is doing for you
ok nice, i like that
hhmm also cant really recommend my build here sooo...
but generally people like to hate on psykers for everything so if it works for you, dont sweat it
using your blitz loads? trash
using a gun instead? trash
atm im pushing from heresy into damnation and just feel overall like im lacking a bit on elite/boss kills/damage while getting highest lesser kills and overall damage
you need to look at your void and melee for that stuff
so i think simply using VS and dueling more for flak/carapace will fix that
ok ye
ty 🙂
make sure you grab + carapace for the void and the duelling
then +flak on the void, and + maniac + uncanny on the duelling
you will be set for everything
i did just try gun psyker with scriers and dd and i absolutely hated it lol so i think this current build ive been using is gonna be the one i stick with xD
gunker should be right up your alley
u just run outa ammo soooo fast
gunker?
gunpsyker
oh
your gun is for elites and monsters really
it felt like when i used assail i was working against the rest of the build though
same as your melee
yeah but you arent using both together
just use the gunker build, but without the gun
throw assails for trash
when stuff gets intense use scriers and your gun
assail will still feel good because you will have DD stacks up
lol for my assail build i think im overusing assail in my gasmeplay and for gun psyker i was underusing it xD
columbus ohio
so unfortunate
i pretty much just took tanner's gun psyker build then swapped from smite to assail
idk what tanners build is
omegabased assail user
i do not like the guy
yes
but anyway
it will be the same as everyone runs tbh
i just dont know what perks and blessings he's saying
is this my sign to start using a knife?
i would recommend unyielding and flak, then dumdum and your choice of 2nd blessing, i like firefrenzy
then your sword is the usual, carapace uncanny and maniac
use the right tool in your kit for the situation in front of you
i cant personally bring myself to use knife on psyker, but that is a good one
atm i am working with a kinda meh sword and trying to decide what to add onto it.
well DS needs maniac
and cleave is the dump stat
then you pretty much always want carapace and uncanny
then 2nd blessing is dealers choice
precog pretty popular
i was gonna probs swap the block for flak or carapace since i always kill maniac with assail
then swap shred for riposte?
nope
i love shred or precog with DD
maniac is for the 1 shot on mutants
o
very important
precog with DD is big damage
same i just hoard all gear with a 370+ rating on all my chars in case crafting gets reworked or something gets buffed/nerfed
1 stab to the face and they die with those stats and +25 maniac, even on damnation
the other blessing, shred, precog, riposte, all have their advocates and reasons
i currently use precog, but they all work differently
precog can be whatever u want
how come no crit blessing to synergize with Mettle?
seems like such a missed opportunity for a mix of dmg and survive
because i dont have toughness problems
ah xD
if im getting hit, im dying
im a noob at this shit, still trying to push into damnation, so i feel like the extra toughness helps a bit for now
also, shred means that when you DONT crit, the sword is doing less dmg than it otherwise would with precog
riposte is also a viable choice if u want that
as i said, its just dealers choice, if you want riposte or shred instead of precog thats fine
but the other 3 slots are required
ye i could swap shred for riposte then swap blocking or i could swap both blocking and c.dmg and keep the blessings 🤷
this is ofc just a temporary sword til i find a good one
well you need uncanny and maniac the most on that
o
uncanny is gonna work for you on cara and flak, as opposed to the +cara
maybe this is just a bad sword in general and i should stop investing currency into it lol
you can also throw assail shards then swap to the sword to stack uncanny
its not bad, but you need the 3 slots for a "perfect" one
this will only have 2, but good stat rolls so still great
you could also skip maniac if u dont care about 1 shotting mutants
but i would suggest thats one of DS biggest strengths and youd be a fool not to capitalise on it
when you get conga lined by 6 mutants, being able to STAB STAB STAB and kill em all is very good
it's not perfect but it should do fine until you're ready to worry about making a better one
ngl i usually just assail mutants xD
cus it staggers em
maybe im wrong? pretty sure it does stagger them
I'm not sure I've ever seen that
ragers for sure. not the mutant chargers tho
Maybe on a lower difficulty but I've never seen it stagger mutants lol
you can face poke the mutants out of their charge with the duelling special poke tho
you can also just heavy poke and 1 shot them
does that special do as much damage/armor pen as a charged?
no the special does no dmg
wot
ah ok
It's a stagger more than anything else. Only good for that and helping build uncanny stacks
ah ok
u beat me to it lol euheueheuhh after testing, assail maybe still easier overall
i f'n suck at that, its so tough to keep the rythym and not pop
i think that at 3k hours and not getting it consistently, short bursts only will still work for me once in a while but, i like the pace it shoots with runngun, and rcancel slows the run down
ehh, even consistent (i say that but it took me a handful until i got it consistent) it is doing decent damage, but feels rediculous and spammy
yeah just use assail on gunners lol
what does the hivemind recommend doing with this one? perks to flak + maniac?
god i hate when 380s roll like that
purge user wil have better input, i'd scoop a blessing and scrap personally, but it's probably a fine staff
i would change carapace to flak
as a definite
other than that youre splitting hairs
you can upgrade nexus to lvl 4 for a 2% increase in crit chance at max peril. Or upgrade crit perk to gain constant 1% extra crit chance
or change crit perk to unyielding for boss dmg
you could change crit to maniac, but i wouldnt
have 4 of both blessings, just never bothered getting the 3s
ohh i treated them like penances and was on a mission to fill all blessing books XD
maniacs die so fast to purgatus, or they are mutants and you shouldnt be purging em
thats where im at now 😄
going back for tier 1s even
yeah, either gotta get from hourly shop, or just make another class and level it lol
but worth it for no greyed out ones
im up to richtofen gamma for my rerolling psyker 😄
so yeah, its 100% carapace to flak. Then second choice is either 2% situational crit chance, 1% perma crit chance, or unyielding for boss dmg, or maniac to kill dreg ragers and flamers ever so slightly faster
the last of which i personally feel is not worth
I have unyielding on my sword, so that one I would skip too
but then again splitting hairs over fractional crit chances is also not worth 😄
disagree
😄
XD
nexus to 4 for the 2% at max peril or 5% chance
was the first blaze trauma i made
aint NO way im destroying this until i get another 😄
i have nexus 4
so im literally choosing between 1% crit rate at max peril here, high stakes stuff 😄
I dub thee GOOD
For trauma you really want 80 radius. Makes a giant difference with blazing
yeah, to an extent
XD
this cost me 34mil. It's SO CLOSE to what I'm trying to get
that is still a hella nice stave
crit damage isnt all that great on surge
I am a primary fire main
of course lol
nvm carry on
flak+maniac is good or you can keep the 4% crit chance to upgrade one of the blessings (purg crits apply an extra stack of soulblaze)
stats are great, you can dump damage on purg (burn is the "real" damage stat), do not sell this thing
the bullet travel too slow not to, you have to prefire most shots on moving targets, and im always a moving target
i wish it was more like a gun
but guns not fun
fun > meta damage
yeah i think all the staffs gain a big powerspike once you get used to the travel time and leading
plus it requires an INCOMPARABLE MIND to do 3d trig while dodging crushers
Why crit hit damage tho
I'm a psychopath and go for consistent damage > specific armor types
I play like a crackhead
also, do it with a blazing trauma and burn the plogryn at the same time? will it be faster?
with blazing primary or secondary?
primary
same as you are with the surge but just applying stacks on crits
you cant get run n gun then i guess
Knife Only: 1:07
Knife Only w/Aggro: 1:58is
Knife w BBBlitz: 1:04
Surge Primary wBBBlitz RunGUN No Secondary: 1:17 3x 1:21, 1:24, 1:29
Surge Primary w BBBlitz NoRunGun: 1:20 3x as well 1:26 1:29
Surge Secondary Only AnimCancel: 1:38
Surge w BBBlitz RunGun AnimCancel: 1:26
Surge w BBBlitz WarpFlurry: 1:19
Surge w BBBlitz WarpFlurry AnimCancel: 1:24
BB Only w Blitz: 1:29
my times from this morning
both staves had 80/78 dam/crit bonus with +5 crit change/and +8/10critdamage
It’s going to do next to nothing tho because crit hit damage only applies to the extra damage from a crit and not the entire damage dealt
blazing spirit run n gun is fun and cool but doesnt proc enough yeah
i have a blazing trauma build too tho ill give it a shot after dinner
yeah, damn you and your crack like addiction to movement
i mained that before the surge build
listen, psyker is glass, moving stops the littl efuckers from hitting my back
I AM THE ONE WHO KILLS ME, most times, unless its a burster/trapper/unstaggerableguner
PAWGRYN
I like the surge build
hawtgryn so sexy
elephantitis so hot right now
i should try a plague ogryn doing the primary attach anim cancel and just break my fingers off
it would probably be the fastest option
also my times have no keystones XD
so you're probably all able to do way faster
have to imagine EP would be clutch on bosses, ive never tried those nodes
and with a good test you change the variable you are testing and keep the rest the same
why i also dont care about scoreboards
more of a challenge to see how fast can be done, so the opportunities to make contact have the best impact for the time avail in mission
a bit late to the party but thats my beloved
i mean nthe fastest is gunker unyielding no contest
is okay
so if i get 15sec with boss, I want my best 15s of damage options (BB with resonance for sure, then secondary)
shame about unarmoured
it is what it is
true @tulip kettle
the unyielding tho
yeah unyield is good for bosses
im not even willing to datamine all options XD
and idk, i think the EP BB kinetic res is also very good boss dps
throw 4 BB, shriek at it, throw another 4
but i like seeing what i can do with what i got
takes 10 seconds and does silly dmg in that time
not good for pure soloing stuff but as "your contribution" to killing bosses i think its real strong
agreed, i usually focus everything else during bosses, and smack kinetic resonance when its up, but if i have availability i secondary it
Is dueling sword good vs bosses?
as melee weapons go its pretty good
Its great to help run away from them
Lol rip
honestly, just block and dodge until it aggros someone else
if it tries to grab you, dodge it and stab it in the face twice
then resume block and dodge
Such is life :c was hoping dueling sword would have some funny trick to let me attack back
Been using Deimos
Lets see if Hadron fucks me UwU
just because of parry abuse
also a funny gif of me being stupid nvm it got cut off! a beast of nurgle came in and we all started screaming and going up the latter and the second i run out i push a poxburster, but back into a barricade and die lol
Ah yeah I can see that
Parry is balanced
pure monstrosity murder
Is flurry/rending shockwave on a trauma worth or cringe
it's fine if ur a scrub
i think most of the self proclaimed pros are playing fire trauma
Damn called out
All the best psykers are using recon + assail
I knew it
this thing fking slaps
Time to spam recon into hordes and then blow myself up with asssil
pair it with a flak + infested illisi, go to town
or a DS/deimos and bring assail
many options
but rending flurry trauma with + cara and flak is certainly good.
its also extremely safe
safer than blaze trauma
as flurry lets you get those charged attacks out faster than enemies can recover
anybody can tell me a bit more about enfeeble on smite? what i want to know is, does it only apply while youre actively smiting the enemy or even after you knock them back?
and if so, for how long does it apply?
Only while actively applied. It drops the second you release
what is emfeeble
The smite 10% damage node
Ahh
watching my old clips, yeah blazing trauma kinda op XD #darktide-pics-vids message
i remember it took me forever to learn about trauma going through floors
if you're on the bridge in comms plex or enclavum, and the side spawns are about to go, you can just pound the ground overhead of the spawn (not down the ladder) and over and they never make it out the door
yeah it really should show a cylinder instead of circle
but then again, how would it not intefere with the bubble visual and such
Please dont use the C word I'm still having flashbacks to testing our Venting Shriek
Jesus, 1:13 (perks CD/CC bless RnG/WN) I see people do this all the time in game, but idk how they are not breaking fingers without using a macro or something, another break in a few hours and ill do some trauma times. just keep in mind this is doing in completely unrealistic scenario, but god damn thats almost as fast as pure knife heavies
i have my blitz on X so i can do it comfortably as long as i don't need to slide
my F is my ult
the game REALLY needs the ability to bind something to more than one key
yeah it's a shame it's not a native feature
i have quell on V and one of my side buttons with a mod
theres a dual bind mod i think. I know my keyboard has it build it for diff actuations
I was told enfeeble only works on left click
thats the other one i think
my rival 5 mouse is in the mail from warranty, scroll wheel went out, im on my old basilisk, and the buttons are so mushy and there isnt enough buttons to bind what i want. I want quell on the sensitivy clutch, but its blitz rn until i get buttons back
so do you rock back and forth two fingers on mouse? or us keyboard at all for the cancel?
for the blitz cancel?
my ranged is on Q and my melee is on E
so i can do either Q -> X or E -> X for it
For primary cancel, i actually just learned about blitz q cancel today lol
ring finger on Q, or index finger on E, to thumb on X
ohh
yeah i see that being more comfortable
for that vid i put my left mouse button bound to my caps lock and rocked caps to r back and forth lol
at least with the size of my hands, it's fairly comfortable to do
i can just feel the tension in my hand going up with my peril lol
+50% BB speed for +50% money paid to doctors
XD
bottom row (Z, X, C, V) keybind supremacy
Assail makes DD easy to get to 15, dare I go for the 30 stack?
Enfeeble definitely works on right click, I tested it the other day
Current binds : Cryonic Rod, Power Cell, Vacuum Capsule, Medicae Station - I could double bind them for anim cancels and my teammates will love me
I already make them listen to a human turret the whole game XD
NAH
its only easy because you have double the duration
halving the duration and doubling stacks feelsbadman
i got the chat wheel mod that is supposed to make me say for the emperor
and it still makes me cry about the lex atoma
It depends on what new breakpoints 30 stacks gets me. If I can 1 shot gunners (non crit) with Assail that might be good. With 15 you can 1 shot shotgunners
you aint hitting 30 stacks dude
Good to know. I'm still not gonna run it personally but I'll save that video to dispel that info
do u want me to see if its possible to force emp everytime?
i mean, i do not have the knowledge or skills for such a task
if you do, i would owe you
i can totally figure out if its possible, it may not be, but i can look into it
you're getting tbagged
it was hell getting "Help me im falling " and the venting "ooooooh ahhhh " keybound and on demand but we got there lol
after you go down (guaranteed to happen every match)
name one match where i went down
The one you were a psyker in
TRUUUUUUUUE
SUS
i think arco did
arco is very, very very bad at the game and is what i consider a 'floor build'
I'll get to a final event, realize i havent taken damage, and then accidentally pop right after, theres never a clean game, my brain cant handle it
damn i deleted that footage of where i dragged an overhead into you
idiot
😮
how could you delete that
oh, i know
i bet you have 1.2gb of hard drive space
on that laptop
binch
i record on another drive and don't do particularly regular maintenace so i delete in batches
i have two other external drives but sometimes I have to disconnect them so I don't record to them
cringe
(you)
i don't feel any attachment to any footage that's like more than a day old so i'm pretty trigger-happy with deleting stuff
since i usually also clip stuff and that stuff is saved elsewhere
yeet
Who pinged me
yes, I died by myself, says the Psyker literally killed nothing.
My only guy for 8 seconds was a knife vet (derogatory)
Is this heresy or just a really fast damnation
just imagine that they're josho and you'll be fine
Damnation
I died for five minutes straight and still killed the most disablers, and they got wiped out by two bombers.
now this is hella good, i didnt realise it was possible to bind individual sound effects and chat lines... now im planning what combos i could do
and the results are?
too busy smiting and getting 15k staggers my dude
you dont understand his incomparable mind
We got through
Two martyr zels joined
Both kept just refilling their wounds but one of them was catered to more Oneshotting a demonhost
I know because he did
And I got the short end of every AI director stick
But now I can gamble my luck with this trauma staff
Oh
So, serious question, what's the combat knife for again? i've never used it, so what makes it special?
The only thing it has going for it is mobility
That's it
Well in terms of staff enjoyment in these last few matches it'll have to be
- Voidstrike
- Blaze trauma
- Trauma
- Surge
- Purg
Reason i asked is because a lot of Surge-smite builds were reccomending the combat knife as a melee
As psyker we have ds4 (dueling sword 4), while having a little bit less mobility, it has better single target damage and horde clear than knife
but gave no explination as to why
to run away from the IRS
Generally good blessings, but with a few rotten apples in the pool,
Good dodge distance, low stamina use on sprint and has 'move tech' in form of utilising sprint + slide to mitigate slowdown at the end of heavy attack windup
Good weakspot damage across the board, but poor cleave and cleave damage to compensate
Knife is way over hyped, most people who use it think they are gonna be better than the typical knife users (they have a bad reputation, especially knife zealots), but they just end up all being the same
Also, push attacks are on par with heavy attacks (with extra cleave on top in case of Mk3) and are spammable, with how low Psyker's stamina regeneration delay is
I don't recommend knife. Use dueling sword instead
Knife also has relatively poor range
Which is where Dueling swords excel, because their reach is substantially longer
Knife isn't strictly bad, it's just most people cannot make effective use of it (even though they think they can) and those who can make effective use of it, are almost guaranteed to be really good at the game, and would by default make way more effective use out of running the ds4 anyway
If knife has 100% mobility, and force swords have 40% mobility, dueling sword has idk 80% mobility. That's all knife has over dueling sword. Like I said. Dueling sword has way more single target damage, better horde clear and way better range. I would go as far as to say that there is no reason to use knife on psyker, UNLESS you just really like it for style points or something to that effect
same principle as making stealth vet work
Void is definitely most fun for me, blaze trauma is great but I only bring it for certain times, standard trauma is fine, surge is nice but it doesn't tingle my brain right, purg I do not like
My fav in order: Trauma, purga, void strike and surge.
Sometimes I like purga more than trauma
surge>purge(those are the only two staves i have that are passable)
It doesn't even scratch my brain, it just touches it
Yeah it works and gets the job done
I won't deny that
But it definitely isn't my cup of tea
I've found ways to get it to tickle my brain
But yes it can be the most braindead staff
I'm gonna blow up
I make it more interesting by quick swap stunning enemies, the limited range forces me to push forward and get better positioning, which can be fun
I'm 1 plasteel away from upgrading something
this is gonna sound stupid but can the one perk for FSwords make it so you can eat a sniper shot?
the peril instead of stam on block?
Not stupid at all
It cannot block sniper shots
Man
The blessing is called deflector
nope found that out the hard way
The feat, kinetic deflection, cannot block sniper shots either
for balance reasons i assume?
So it would seem
would it not be balanced if it maxed out the peril?
Ogryn shield can block sniper shots, however
only with alt mode if im not mistaken
thats still a sniper block
maybe if the shot would max peril and strip toughness?
that might be balanced then?
GAH. Another 17% Toughness curio that Hadron wasn't prepared to give me a single T4 perk on, let alone anything I actually wanted.
I don't know why I bother.
should have prayed harder 💅
Damn she turned your weapon French
Ruined
does she brick it
as close as i got
If she doesn't I'm calling bias
rip
if you feel lucky push it to purple
i dont
tsk tsk someone clearly doesnt believe in the omnissiah hard enough
were taking over the zealot chat
have you done your 74 prayers today?
I forgot X.X
i believe with a new weapon
well if she hits nexus that would be nice, but this is already usable
I have like zero staves with 370+ base if i get something you better be sure im at least trying to get it to purple
rip transfer peril
FOR SOME FUCKING REASON every single illisi i upgraded turns into a god roll
voids truamas nope never
I know the feeling, hadron has bricked almost every 3-stamina curio i've broght.
with the only exception being when i got a tier 4 experience perk... while im a max level psyker...
i bricked 5 3 stam before finally accepting 15% corruption resistance
I bricked 11 before settling on tier 3 dockets
Best perks for a tac axe?
the toughness curio i've settled on after bricking too many
would have preffered combat ability regen, but bombers is ok i guess
If they weren't bugged with Rating 75 to only be +2 Stamina when in a mission, this would be a pretty good Stamina Curio: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1046914150363844779/1138420684721233920/image.png
I'd have to swap around some perks on other curios to get the combo I want, but I could run a full set of T4 perks (admittedly only on 20% HP and 16% T curios, but being down one point isn't disastrous for HP and T, it's just annoying how often Hadron has ruined 21% and 17% ones).
Brunt trying to sell me this... it's not that good
if warp res and first target were swapped, it would be amazing
better buy it or melk is gonna sell it to you tomorrow with sprint eff and peril transfer tomorrow
Looking for decimus the zealot
nice two blessings right there
too bad I'm poor
🤔 how much time do you have tomorrow?
just make a new char get it to 11 do the dailies then delete it
Does psykinetics aura activate when teammates kill elites/specialists too?
kinda, yes
I'd probably change precog and groaners
Uncanny and maybe maniac
If it has uncanny, can't remember
yes it does
whats the easiest way to do the malleus monstronum penance?
lights out, have a shield ogryn buddy
premade team required, with everyone understanding that you're doing all the damage to the daemonhost with BB
get a shield ogryn and let the bots with you die then find a DH and let the ogryn tank it while you bb it
bring horde clearing weapons in case you get one while killing the dh since the ogryn can't do much while tanking in the corner
while tanking a dh at the same time huh
this was assuming you can only get 1 other person
he didn't say "assume only one other person"
he asked "what's the easiest way to do the penance"

If a zealot runs ahead of the group like an idiot, then triggers both a demonhost AND chaos-spawn then subsequently dies, is it a dick move to hold off on rescuing them until after were done searching for materials/scriptures?
no
Is raking fire decent on gun Psyker?
I wouldn't
If you want to make your IAG a pure monstrosity killer maybe
I’ll look into it. I still have 2 upgrades on it. If it’s bad for my class I’ll turn it into a monstrosity killer.
yeah, Dum Dum is highest priority
I think DD is finally growing on me, I used to hate it but now I'm seeing why it's actually good
Still not convinced on staff + scriers but I'll have to practice it more
I GOT SURGE
Siblings, Auric Loot. Blessings and perks good?
Devastating strike isnt ideal, shred meanwhile is pretty good.
Flak is generally good as a perk, melee weak spot damage isn’t ideal.
Its ok as a whole
I got it on the damn trauma staff
P sure its been untouched since December but its still pretty insane
I might have forgotten when the last nerf was though
Not a fan of any blitz abilltys in terms of meta viability.
OOF damn
Assail got double nerfed but its still good, but only really worth it if you enjoy the ability and learn various animation cancel techniques, it's no longer a 1 button win option
Can they stop sledgehammering assail already. Its growing really old really fast
no
brainbursts in my pants
now theres warp all over me
2 shot da crusha
cut thru da horde like buttah
Trust me I have 300+ hours of just using assail, it's still great and deserved its nerf tbh
and still needs a nerf to its max ammo count
Tried to cosplay my psyker as Kanye West

Malice player mad there isn’t more chaff to kill? Assail does a lot of nothing in auric I literally use it to help keep disrupt destiny stacks up and generate some toughness in a pinch
Im not a malice player lol
Just nerf assail ammo down to 6?
It kills shit very well in auric
Kills dogs well I’ll give it that
The only thing it doesnt kill is carapace and bosses and that's not taking into account uncanny
Mauler too
Mauler is carapace
Their head is
Which is what youd hit with assail
Yeah
Basically it’s good at killing all the stuff that psyker is already automatically good at killing anyway and solves no problems except the problem of a dog gauntlet
They literally nerfed it because it was killing too much trash horde in new player games ruining the fun for new layers who hadn’t ever even seen a crusher and were mad they didn’t have more unarmored things to cut in half
Idk I’ve never ever had a single auric game which is 99% of what I play where I think “I wish my teammate was killing less stuff”
I mean it depends on what loadout your bringing as to whether it does what psyker does well already
So you can kill more than teammate 
The only thing in the game that feels broken is the mark 2 hammer with thrust on monstrous specials maelstrom and I don’t want that nerfed either because it’s the ultimate dopamine machine
But having another option to wipe out elite patrols is not bad
Or any chaff
Or gunners
I frequently wish "I wish they were killing different stuff".
It doesnt use ammo if your gunker
It staggers shit well for more aggro play
Also good for sniping shit if you arent running like void/revo
Its literally just a 3rd weapon
I run disrupt destiny with assail, bubble, and a braced revolver strictly for bosses, most of the work comes from melee
But idk I’ve never felt like assail was doing most of the work.. not even close
I mean there is other overtuned stuff that exists in the game to make it so you would use assail less, but how much you use assail depends on the player
Are you not using Assail in between melee hit?
You can very much let assail do most of the work
I pretty much keep assail on cooldown, spam it all during the fight in the general direction of any blue enemy out of reach, the only thing it really does that is essential is generate toughness and stacks at least in my 200ish hours of psyker experience
well this isn't about my teammates about me
And melt dog packs but smite does that just as well even without empowering it
because the 10 max shards is just too spammable
and there's no brain involved with that
So you use assail and it feels so strong you want it nerfed?
no risk or resource management involved
I have run a similar setup but Assail ends up out damaging melee by a lot
it certainly is strong, not that it feels strong
Honestly I only ever hear people with an assail teammate say they wanted it nerfed so I’m interested in your opinion why you agree with them
cuz it's boring as hell for it to be spammable
Never heard an assail her say it
i say it frequently
Assail user*
Yeah it's more interesting to use when it's limited
i just haven't said it nowadays cuz i've said it so many times that i'm sure people are tired of hearing about my opinions on assail
What keystone do you run and aura making it feel so Op for you
So I realize now that I was mostly just skill issuing all over the place. Was there any changes done to it’s tracking?
i run DD with assail
i doubt that the aura matters
assail's tracking has remained the same
Like it should not be able to do this, this is without ep
https://streamable.com/vsohxp
it locks onto enemies that your cursor is hovering over
and will hit up to two targets (three with ethereal shards)
I literally stood there and pressed m1
I see no problem lol
And wiped out an entire elite pack
it's an auto-aim weapon that's also spammable, and I quite dislike that aspect
and keep in mind that i'm approaching this from the perspective that the power level of players is too high at the moment
Anything in the veteran arsenal could do that, a zealot or ogryn could break them immediately out of ranged and delete them all too
They nerfed it to make it less spammable but it wasn't enough
my desire for assail nerfs is only a small part of the fact that i want classes in general to be nerfed
to me assail is the most fun magic ability I have ever played in a game, at least when you implement weaving and quell cancelling but I can understand why people do not enjoy it
That’s an interesting take.
Yeah most classes being able to do that is also its own issue
yeah quickswapping makes assail for me
I can agree on player level being high even though I disagree about the whole 5 shards take
Yeah same
I could stomach 7-8 but not 5
Quickswap is fun
how bout 5 shards but faster (but conditional) regen
What about 6? That seems good
e.g., something like +50% shard regen for 1 second on non-blitz weakspot hit
This seems crispy.
Yeah it also shouldnt regen like it does
All the numbers seem arbitrary tho, maybe another question is peril, or even more just consider that if you’re in this channel talking about it you’re near the top of the skill ceiling
Then i have to aim though
6 shards won’t even ever put you against risk of peril death
yeah that would be sick, I could fling some shards and jump in for some deimos swings or voidstrike headshots
is this in the context of venting shriek?
why does it matter whether assail puts you near 100% peril
10 shards doesn’t even risk peril death. What?
I ride 100% so much I’ve contemplated learning to mod so that I can reduce the 100% warning sound.
Spam 10 shards and then block push with a force sword on impulse or fire a staff and you’re toast
Doesn’t happen often but it’s definitely possible
so you want assail to have higher peril gen if the shard count is reduced?
eh, i disagree
I don’t want it nerfed lol
i certainly do
I get thats part of it, but its not hard to abuse
10 shards is just too spammable
and classes need nerfing anyways
why not just put a dent in the max ammo count as part of the general class nerfs
I frequently use assail and i want it nerfed
fatshark should lean into the quickswapping identity of assail
Or remove survivalist honestly
It shouldn’t happen. I use it with gaze and don’t even blow myself up for multiple missions.
And leave ammo
Hot take : if you’re in the top 1% of player skill and something is too powerful for your fun just don’t use it? What’s the argument for making something viable for 99% of everyone else that isn’t that good
because 90% of things is too strong?
Like I have ditched half my arsenal for meme builds
Yeah its not just assail
you realize that the power level of classes is just WAAAY to strong at the moment
Because some things are just too amazing when you have a few hundred hours and fine tuned gear
player count is pretty bricked already, nerfing everything would cause leddit knee-jerk hatred IMO
and also that's still not an argument to let something remain overtly strong
I say add more enemies but im also not a game designer
just because it's 1 weapon being strong still means that it should be tuned down
I don’t want to deal with 20 crusher waves thank you very much.
You cant add more enemies
servers are prob hitting their limit
Servers can barely handle histg
it'd be funny if fatshark decides to buff enemy hp again
Audio frequently breaks
Also the game would lag like hell if the enemy cap goes any higher.
Please god anything but that.
I don’t think assail is that strong plain and simple because it does nothing to maulers crushers and bosses and if you leave those 3 things out of your build identity you are being carried 100% no matter how much chaff and specialist you kill
good thing i have two other weapons in my slots
BR oneshotting ragers feels like HEAVEN
You named its single weakness
.
a weapon having drawbacks doesn't deny the possibility that it can be considered strong
Which invalidates even the carapace argument
(patch 13 footage, before the assail nerfs)
Should fatshark remove weapon blessings effecting blitzes and other Non-weapon things?
I think assail is def strong but I would hate for it to get dumpstered, assail is the only reason I play this game
i want them to keep it for quickswapping shenanigans but i see how it would be difficult to balance
There’s no 2 emoji.
certain blessings simply need to be obliterated
rip
I run purgatorus staff and throwing out all my shards kills things like twice or thrice as fast as my staff does. A weapon specifically meant for controlling and clearing trash
This I agree with
In any instance
there's a degree of interactivity that is fine for it but stuff like uncanny is comically dumb
Knife zealot getting cleave and crit off of a shotgun is funny but stupid as fuck
7 shards, lucky number of the BEST chaos god NURGLE, end of argument
at least 75% slaughterer doesnt stack on dot kills
I don’t like weapons effecting any other piece of your kit with their blessings it just seems silly and super unintended
and u cant run around using a shriek once and watching hordes vanish
peak interactivity
tbf people weren't even doing it optimally
if you wanted to do it the way god intended you take a thrust/deci caxe
because this is back when you could thrust cancel
though pinning fire + ascendant blaze was another a thing
I like running tactical axe on psyker and pretending I’m an Apache with constellation powers from doing too much peyote
Is it optimal not even close does it make auric maelstrom a perpetual ass clenching nightmare yes do I do it every day yes
Celerity stim seems to cancel warp flurry. is this a known bug?
Tell me this in the context of your nerf suggestions if you had to choose between less shards or shards don’t get blessings from your weapon… which do you pick
also speaking about assail, is it bugged with enhanced blitz on auric mael? like, you start with 12 shards thats awesome, but as soon as you throw 2 shards you are stuck at 10 for the remainder of the game
Both.
am I dumb and missing something or is that just a major bug
I don’t know about major bug but it’s really funny either way.
Void consumes you
true aim actually killed me here
Ogryn: get 200% more nukes… psyker:
the maelstrom modes were p much designed before they were ready to do anything with the class rework stuff
If someone suggests nerfing ogryn enhanced blitz I’ll lose it
you are right not major, I mean more obvious or something
so there's some weirdness w/ it
but thats also me expecting devs to play their own games
ohh fair enough
Given that’s it’s FartShart. Probably just an oversight.
I should go bug them about it, free assail buffs (sorry assail dislikers)
both
and then we buff regen speeds and add in a conditional way to improve regen speed (e.g., non-blitz weakspot hit)
since my goal is for assail to be nerfed in some way and made more interesting
and the max shard count is something that i see as something that must be brought down
I kinda want to experiment with having it only be conditional. Make it give you back a shard per Elite or specialist kill. This would drastically help alleviate its dominance in low level games while still making it a combo tool. Also speed up the volley itself.
weak spot regen would be fun at least, would incentivize stuff like getting good headshot lineups on voidstrike to be able to quickly regen
the only thing is that it would just be zealot's throwning knife 2.0
The knife is awesome though
psyker blitzes are a more fundamental part of the kit rather than a resource that is spent
and it's on the magic class where the other warp stuff doesn't have any limited ammo
there's no reason to make it into throwing knife 2.0
i'm fine with having a passive regen that's slow
and then the conditional stuff is there to make it better
and as a reward for putting some braincells into using it
yeah I initially disagreed but thats a good take
they need to give it a node that blows people up
Not great but usable
Fine if your running like void illisi
Or purg
i consider it of holding the sins of being below average and boring
BR Wildfire is my beloved.
used to be +2. now it's reduced peril generation.
But yeah it was bugged to where it was 12 at the start and then would go down to 10
ohh okay understood
Can be decent against gunner walls if you stack EP and KR with double wall
4 Psyker game time
can psyker still trigger true aim with surge or smite?
No, Patched
had a guy ragequit cus I was on assail literally a minute into a match
said something about going too fast for him
bro I'm so slow 😭
Oof
you must be that psyker that they made a reddit post about
Lol, some guy made a reddit post about that stuff?
that was beloved
Probably knife psyker
I would laugh if he did all instant kill and constant kill feed

doesn't seem to be possible. all ive ever seen personally is two instances of aim botting.
If there are these i want em
actually just a DD psyker

Some people haven't quite grasped the "don't res someone who's in fire or wailed on by maulers/crushers, because they'll just instantly die" thing.
Yea, but can't blame them, fire damage is still stupid
Of course you can blame them, why did they res you knowing you'd be taking huge accumulated ticks of damage when they could let the fire go out while you're down and taking reduced damage?
700k damage in 28 mins not bad.
Some people don't know that and some people just res out of instinct, not sure if I've encountered intended malicious fire res. That's why I mostly blame the Shork for that perfect design
They patched the fire damage over a month ago.
Yea, but fire res still there and it still kills you
Unless they res you in the middle of a bomb you should be "fine"
Still, reviving someone in fire is stupid and deserves to be called out.
In this case, I was being actively flamed, and even dodging as fast as I could, I died before I could make it out.
Im not saying it cant happen.
But I also saw someone recently go into stealth to res someone being attacked by two maulers.
Instantly killed by the overhead attack.
Yeah....
If you can tank a horde, then fine, go for a quick res then. But a lot of the time, you have to deal with the threat first.
I've ressed people in fire before but it's a case of "i res them now or they die while downed"
hoping the fire goes out before i pick them up
if nothing else, i spam res on them but don't finish it to prevent their health from dropping
risky either way
"A NeW MaRvEl HaS AwOkEn"
What should i change on this for a fire trauma staff? Transfer peril to nexus and ranged damage to flak?
Yes
This is the staff i've been using, is it worth sacrificing to grab T4 warp nexus?
Generally I wouldn't recommend sacrificing an active weapon.
I see nothing wrong with what I'm looking at
but I definitely wouldn't eat the blessing without a replacement
umm, the plan was sacrificing the 2nd staff so i can put warp nexus on/replace it with the first one
So should I just grab it off of it and put it on the new staff or? Cuz I just spent 6k plasteel rolling for warp nexus 4 and didn't get it, and wanted to save some for my vet
I get that, but it's often the case that swapping a damage type perk can have consequences you didn't expect, so it's certainly risky to make the one way trip of going from Unarmoured to Maniac.
ig i'll just roll more staves
Do you have any level of Nexus available?
I do have lvl 3 but i was just wondering if it was worth taking off warp nexus 4
Not to sacrifice your active weapon.
Try it with T3 - it won't stop you replacing it with T4 later. If you like it with T3, it's less of a risk to sacrifice the existing staff.
Im curious how important is missing that +5% crit as perk, its what im lacking in mine atm
Last game i checked, 29 crit rate ranged for Trauma Staff without it
So i guess 34 would be nicer and add to wildfire dmg
i think we did kinda figure out it was likely me and an extreme exaggeration.
@wind spruce It turns out after going back on to my psyker
The reason i kept failing those missions was because i literally had the wrong trauma staff equipped somehow 😭 😭
lmao happens to the best of us, did that the other day with my DS
yeah sacrifice this one
people leave for all kinds of reasons, read this chat XD
9% charge rate is big on trauma
agreed
i actually like trauma with low warp resistance and high charge rate, it gets nutty
Yeah the other one has more charge rate. Charge rate is most important stat on trauma.
keep maniacs or elites tho
maniacs gives you one shot breakpoint on trappers with no crit
I'd keep manic tbh. Let you 1 shot trapper without crit.
Not like trappers are a problem for trauma anyway.
But it's nice in chaotic situation.
same my thoughts are
Maybe 2 shots breakpoint on dreg rager without crit.
Considering the lower damage roll on that staff.
With high warp charges and peril that is.
Yeah should be with 25% maniac and maybe 4 warp charges.
Also with trauma peril should always be high anyway, same with warp charges.
My 80% damage trauma can 2 shot dreg ragers without crit at 6 warp charges and high peril. 
Pls just simply get my staff.
Tbf my 76% damage one can also do that with no warp charges
Bc it's cursed with maniacs 😦
Yeah that's why.
high charge rate lets you slide into a bang while charging and it feels, so good to path through hordes

I started palworld but there's so many bugs.
However I feel like the devs would roll out patches faster than FS. 
yepppp. I absolutely hated using the one with 68% charge rate
switched to the new one and its a major difference
My man
Max charge rate with max Flurry for blasting stuff every second
Not blaze trauma tho
That's why you put both Flurry and Blazing spirit in it
But then you won’t have enough Crit to support Blazing Spirit
Well you still can build it with max 22.5% and with full blasting every second 8-10 times before quelling things are catching up on fire as well
Don't think you can output as much damage as a real blaze trauma.
Maybe, I just like control it provides and blaze is really helping with stuff that is flying around from blasts
