True

radiant frigate
#

people are simply playing a different game

#

and they are pretty set in their ways

limber silo
#

Not everyone runs into melee and whacks shit with a stick at every opportunity

zenith vessel
#

I never use assail and i maintain DD plenty fine, idk

radiant frigate
#

resistant to change

radiant frigate
#

but i am not everyone

limber silo
#

I basically play melee with every class until ranged it the only option

hexed geyser
#

I'm with you

zenith vessel
#

Psykinetic's aura is too strong for me to take assail

cold geode
#

i just shoot people to maintain DD

elder glade
#

I think both ways are valid tbh. I just prefer running without assail these days unless I feel like it. Losing the cdr just promotes a different play style at the end of the day.

radiant frigate
#

quite the opposite based on what pubs i see

hexed geyser
#

I just don't like the guns in general, that's why i play only psyker and revos on other classes

zenith vessel
#

i also usually run smite tbh but i rarely ever use it. it's just nice to have an emergency button in case theres a bunch of crushers or 14 hounds we have a hard time dealing with

limber silo
#

The only people who complain about ammo economy in my opinion are people who don't melee often enough

spice veldt
#

or loot

elder glade
#

Scrier's gaze + melee is just fantastic

limber silo
#

I rarely use the smite in my gunker build, but it can save games in those rare moments where it's the best option available

#

Smykers though, those guys are the worst

zenith vessel
#

yep, it's great if you need it and the other option (auto brainburst every 15 seconds or whatever) isnt that great imo

radiant frigate
tired estuary
#

idk somehow what I said got twisted into "I need assail to ever get stacks + I always run out of ammo without it" instead of "sometimes it can be helpful for things" because people need to twist shit since I made the mistake of using an option in a videogame sometimes

limber silo
#

I hate watching morons just use smite on the entire map and have zero damage at the end of the match

zenith vessel
#

we all seen the dude smite a single poxwalker

harsh urchin
#

here's ds4/knife+revolver assail EP that I use:

zenith vessel
#

i usually just walk past at that point lol

limber silo
harsh urchin
#

I do have a SG + trueaim gunker as well, but I'm not really happy with how well it performs so you can prob ask someone else for it

tired estuary
#

yeah my b

hexed geyser
#

I'll try that, thanks for taking the time to do it

elder glade
# radiant frigate is it

With dueling sword mk 4 it is. You are pretty much just pairing all of the damage buffs possible with it and its already good horde clear just gets even better

limber silo
#

At least we aren't the DS community

radiant frigate
spice veldt
#

i have met a nonzero amount of people who have both smite and purg, and they elect to use smite when there's a pure horde or there isn't enough elites to warrant smite

limber silo
#

Those fuckers can't let anyone enjoy anything

radiant frigate
#

so you can stack all these buffs just so your horde clear can be Still Worse Than Base Illisi™

limber silo
rotund bolt
#

Damn, hadron didnt fuck me

radiant frigate
harsh urchin
radiant frigate
#

for damn near anything else i wanna say no

hexed geyser
#

Obviously illisi is better than ds4 for horde, but just try to use it on a boss to regret your life choices

radiant frigate
#

that's what i bring brain burst for, innit

limber silo
zenith vessel
#

got my force hammer ready to smash

hexed geyser
#

Oh god i hate brain burst. I did all the penances, but never again. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't feel right to me

hexed geyser
upper sun
#

anyone wanna trade an illisi for a demios?

radiant frigate
#

back-pocket smite in case of emergency?

hexed geyser
#

Most of the times yeah

radiant frigate
#

understandable

torpid girder
rotund bolt
#

ahhh wtf

#

Voidstrike staff doesent 1 shot crit with surge

spice veldt
#

crusher?

rotund bolt
#

Ye and i do have 25% carapace

#

80% staff

stone totem
austere crest
#

friendly reminder

rotund bolt
#

What else do i put on my voidstrike if i have Warp Nexus, Surge and 25% carapace?

rotund bolt
#

yeah but i dunno, i like my surge staff so much

dawn spoke
#

crit or flak maniac

austere crest
rotund bolt
#

CC is just so nice

rigid sky
#

That might push you to 1-shot Crushers?

harsh urchin
rotund bolt
#

but im noticing that the fully charged m2 has knockdown

dawn spoke
#

yes voidstrike will knock down anything but a boss

#

(or a bulwark)

hexed geyser
#

I believe it will stagger bosses too

quartz barn
#

it wont

dawn spoke
#

it will stagger bosses with a surge headshot

rotund bolt
#

Gonna try it on my crit surge build, see if i like it more than my surge

harsh urchin
#

I would go 5% crit

#

this is one of the few times

#

where I recommend 5% crit over a 25% roll lol

rotund bolt
#

Cus of warp nexus?

#

or?

harsh urchin
#

no cuz surge exists

#

surge basically says = your crits do 300% damage

#

something like that

rotund bolt
#

Ye, damn. Makes me wish that the Surge staff had some interesting blessings

austere crest
#

^RunnGun

quartz barn
#

no surge crit explodes twice

limber silo
quartz barn
#

so double crit projectile + double explosion x 2

rotund bolt
#

Can you imagine, AOE explosion on surge crit kill

limber silo
#

It's not bad persay, just sometimes not useful

austere crest
#

i love when you get kinetic flayer on surge seconday and one enemy gibs the other enemy pops, its such a cool effect of like "tssssclaclop" sound

limber silo
#

I wouldn't know, I haven't run kinetic flayer since pre-class rework

harsh urchin
#

same

austere crest
#

Aw

harsh urchin
#

it was great on that overpowered shredder autopistol build

upper sun
austere crest
#

Pairs really nicely

limber silo
#

It's just not very good anymore

harsh urchin
#

it needs a retweak imo

austere crest
limber silo
#

The cooldown is far too high

austere crest
#

Go get a treat

wind spruce
upper sun
harsh urchin
#

it either needs to be guaranteed every X seconds, or 10% chance with lower cooldown

wind spruce
#

Juicy chat this morning siblings

austere crest
#

But always worth it for the memories along the way

#

JUICY

#

U said the thing

harsh urchin
#

if it was:
every 20s, the first elite/special you hit gets BB or
every 5s, 10% chance to BB a target

#

either one of those would be significantly more useable

#

than the current state

rotund bolt
#

wish it was shorter

austere crest
#

I find it enjoyable

wind spruce
#

The second phase of scriers doesn't have the base damage and crit chance included, only the stacking bonus

harsh urchin
#

ye i mean; it's too conditional lol

#

not only is it 10% chance

#

it's 15s cooldown

#

AND it triggers on trash

#

I wouldn't mind longer cooldown if it was guaranteed and only worked on specials

austere crest
#

every 15s in a 30min match is 120 additional headpops

#

i dont mind it

#

but i tend to plan on where it goes too

zenith vessel
#

100 of which are regular melees just tryna get thru their day without their brains being burst

austere crest
#

wait for the proc on specific enemy types and focus on other things until its up for instance, or just in general on a boss its nice extra damge

#

lol

#

true, but its just a fun thing to mess with

zenith vessel
#

i think i'd like it more if it was already part of BB and didnt require an extra point

austere crest
#

trying different builds and playstyles is great to keep things engaging and discover new things about the game

harsh urchin
#

ye

zenith vessel
#

nothin wrong with that at all

harsh urchin
#

that's why

#

i'm waiting for crafting rework

#

hoping they redo some blessings

austere crest
#

i think the warp area could use condensing too

harsh urchin
#

and make them more interesting

austere crest
#

its too many nodes under one keystone

#

Would you be more ok if it was still 15s, but everytime it goes off, it gives you a 3-5s damage buff?

wind spruce
#

It also needs nerfing tbh

spice veldt
#

fatshark relocating the entire patch 12 feat tree into the keystone

austere crest
#

like smite does on its node

spice veldt
#

i think that just this passive BB proc is just inherently boring

austere crest
#

bc its the only blitz thats super single target

spice veldt
#

i'd rework/replace the node entirely

wind spruce
#

Warp charges + psykinetics aura is too good

austere crest
#

i just avoid keystones altogether

#

gimme more things everywhere else

wind spruce
#

Yeah but you're a crackie

zenith vessel
#

having it auto proc as the EP version is ok but then it requires taking EP over the other two choices

austere crest
#

but like, have u ever done grey weapon challenges and stuff?

wind spruce
#

I am too tryhard for that

austere crest
#

getting the base kit really strong makes the whole player package feel nicer, the damage diff isnt super noticable in game

#

XD

#

i feel that

limber silo
#

lol seer mentions they can hear music when the hoirdes come

austere crest
#

Seer has a few mentions like that, like they're aware of another reality (ours)

wind spruce
#

EP assail is hot garbage CMV

austere crest
#

I see people use it pretty well

harsh urchin
#

ye it just requires a lot of effort

austere crest
#

I jsut don't like blitzes as primary weapons

harsh urchin
#

it isn't brainless like vs or surge

austere crest
#

feels out of balance compared to like a couple nades lol

wind spruce
#

Hang on

#

The comparison is non ep assail

#

Not other damage sources

#

Lol

austere crest
#

I feel assail is incredibly brainless to play, they are nice, but don't require thinking

#

'

spice veldt
#

EP assail is fine

austere crest
#

Yondu whistles

spice veldt
#

it's +50 damage and 2x targets hittable

austere crest
#

^das good

spice veldt
#

and a slightly increased crit weakspot multiplier

#

or was it crit multiplier

#

i forgor

#

something finesse-y is increased

wind spruce
#

My issue is the uptime tbh

little rapids
#

i actually want to use assail again but idk what to build for it. makes me sadge

lyric burrow

arco

spice veldt
#

hi

lyric burrow
#

plesae save me

spice veldt
#

no

lyric burrow

do you want to play

spice veldt
#

i'm doing homework (ignore my presence on discord)

little rapids

what class

lyric burrow
spice veldt
#

computer architecture

austere crest
#

i think quell cancel cancelled assail for me, but does require more aimin

little rapids

oof wtf

lyric burrow
#

understandable

#

LEARN

little rapids
austere crest
#

DO GOOD

little rapids

or just meta minmax stuff

austere crest
#

um one sec

little rapids
#

what the ufck

#

i thought it was for special attack

#

LOL

lyric burrow
#

its hella nice on surge

austere crest
#

that too

lyric burrow
#

which is whats shown

austere crest
#

Surge secondary has a great quell cancel, that makes warpflurry not really needed

#

so frees up the slot

little rapids
#

i use vs warp flurry

austere crest
#

i think thats part of why i cant get off run-n-gun now, just addicted to it like.. damnnit Irosk was right, dare I say.. crack.

lyric burrow
#

tbh flurrys good although you arent spamming multiple surge casts super often unless its your boss/cara damage

austere crest
#

^^^

#

Agree, but there are people that stay on secondary the whole mission with great success too

#

so many diff styles its nuts

#

buyt personally i fully agree XD

torpid girder
#

U know i try not to ping alot and stuff but i think i understand why some people spam ping when they get disabled now 🥹

#

Ig it was my fault for getting hounded in the first place tho

lyric burrow
#

average plasma player

do ur fucking HW

spice veldt
#

hey there bby

lyric burrow
#

wait if youll talk to me like that you dont have to do homework

austere crest
torpid girder
#

it was partially my fault igg I should have dodged out the way or tried to push it faster Lol

lyric burrow
#

it is although you shouldnt have died for it here

#

you got hounded in a very recoverable spot

austere crest
#

Full Health:

lyric burrow
#

i try not to get mad at teammates but sometimes they really tempt me

lyric burrow
#

i wouldnt say anything to them

torpid girder
#

I didn't say anything outside of "welp" after I died Lol

#

the vet admitted it was their fault anyways so no reason to insult them or anything

#

sometimes ur just not thinking when playing

spice veldt
#

i just seethe in the background if i get hounded in a place where i would be easily saved

#

since i figure that people are just overloaded at times

#

i still hate them of course

torpid girder
#

every time i try to get mad at players like that i think back at times where i did the same thing and go "fair enough"

spice veldt
#

and i've done it accidentally when i thought that i did pop a hound off somebody but it turns out it didn't so they get chewed on for a few more seconds

upper sun
austere crest
#

i told them vacuum capsule

radiant frigate
upper sun
#

havent used the stuff in so long mb g

torpid girder
#

Those moments where you go "Why did this person go I need healing 3x in chat?" only to look over 30 seconds later that you have a medipack

lyric burrow
#

if i see it i check my slots now

#

it took a while though

#

even 1k hours in though i sometimes forget i have ammo if im not running an ammo build on psyker

austere crest
#

or u just hear a poxburster and prep for a sec and the team just books it :/

upper sun
lyric burrow
#

i was oh surely hes coming to get you

austere crest
#

i agree\ i was pretty confident with that cast

lyric burrow
#

i dont trust ranged attacks vs dogs anymore

#

they freak out sometimes i swear

austere crest
#

and then the poxburster i was gonna take care of hurts the teammate upstairs at the end

#

just 1 bullet my way plsss

#

that moment when you want a flamer

upper sun
#

if i hear a dog really close by i charge and attack and release it while flinging my mouse everywhere most of the time it connects with it KEKW_ogryn

lyric burrow
#

pushes being 360 has saved me from hounds many times

#

even if i didnt mean for it to

#

one day i will be able to hear bursters without needing to save myself last minute

#

tbh the one that blew up right before the one that came around the corner threw me off

austere crest
#

right? bursters are so annoying

lyric burrow
#

im fine with them when the audio works

#

so im not fine with them

#

i have had to do a last second camera flick more times than i care to admit

austere crest
#

sometimes , its just not the audio

lyric burrow
#

lmao

#

that is

#

unfort

#

i do wish the explosion was like a hair smaller sometimes

#

hold up how much mf stamina are you running lol

austere crest
lyric burrow
#

that is so sad

It reserted

#

I took this whilst 3 seconds were left

lyric burrow

hate it when the shop reserts

I love when the shop resets, I'm taking bets on how badly Hadron bricks this

rigid sky

I am sorry

#

Idk why you did that 4th consecrate though lol

#

It was a brick after #3

marble crater
#

For the lulz

long wharf
#

you got lucky getting a t4 blessing you don't have yet on it to strip off

#

a lot of resources spent for a single blessing

marble crater
#

It's fine, my characters have different weapons that are good, normally I would have stopped after 3, but I wanted to see how many of Krags' predictions would be correct KEKW_ogryn

long wharf
#

like I said, expensive test

austere crest
#

3k hourstotal , 2700ish on psyker and my shop rarely has anything over 350

#

every weapon is rolled, very annoy. 34.5mill in now for the surge i want

rigid sky
marble crater
#

It's outrageous that the shop has rolls that low at lvl 30

austere crest
#

i feel lie my shop is busted

#

bc my other classes usuually have 1 or 2 decent weapons that get just okay rolls in there

#

but my psyker is just like, baron. Ive never even bought a psyker weapon from melk lol

#

my other psyker, StabbyNoPants, can get 370+

#

I agree

marble crater
clever elk
#

Melk's has this, worth?

long wharf
marble crater
#

Cloud radius is a bit too low imo

austere crest
marble crater
#

If you don't have a purgatus but have enough Melk bucks you could buy it I guess. Be a short range purg psyker KEKW_ogryn

austere crest
#

melk good for curios tho too

marble crater
#

I wouldn't though, purgatus is one of the easier ones to roll

prime elk
#

people buy curios from milk? 🤨

upper sun
#

if you buy enough it can be worth it

prime elk
#

waste of milk bucks

long wharf
#

definite waste of Milkies

upper sun
#

also 90% of melk's stuff is trash if you dont need the blessings

long wharf
#

Milkies are for t4 blessings you don't have and god-rolled finds, that's it

#

Sour Milk can eat dicks otherwise

torpid girder
#

Woah!! I broke 1 mil dmg for the first time on any of my classes and it was on psyker!!

upper sun
#

I dont think i've ever gotten a godroll from melk

#

but its not so bad if you just want a starter weapon for a fresh level 30 char

long wharf
#

my godrolled power sword came from Sour Milk

upper sun
#

my 4 god rolled illisi all came from camping brunts KEKW_ogryn

wind spruce
long wharf
#

fair, but not the point

If you're gonna nitpick so shall I

long wharf
#

you think correcting someone using the wrong homonym is "nitpick"?

we must not bicker we must purge the heresy

How good is this DS mk4?

long wharf
#

austere crest
torpid girder

does having T4 of shred matter at all?

long wharf
#

it's not significant

torpid girder
#

How should I be using it btw? just heavy attack spam or do I H1 to special attack

long wharf
#

if you aren't sure you'll one-shot, special into heavy

#

always aiming at weakspots

oh i cant read

#

That last run gave me a headache

tulip kettle
#

what happened?

vocal cliff
#

Ai director sent out a lot of bursters and flamer's

#

Along with their trapper cousins

#

Having to keep track of them all gave me said headache

#

Didn't help the team was already in a bad spot from the chaos spawn

tulip kettle
#

surely its no problem for an incomparable mind such as yours?

stone totem
#

When all is quiet and then fifteen bursters start spamming spawn-switches

when your RL friends think they are ready for the jump up to heresy and go straight into heresy maelstrom from malice:

That is a big jump

It was a silent burster from behind me

every trapper and burtser in a 2 mile radius

one of them gets on and says "ive been listening to leutin lore videos when i go to bed all week"

thats 100% a win in my book

harsh urchin
#

okay

#

playing with the deimos

upper sun
harsh urchin
#

for the first time in like 8 months

#

the special is so insanely good wtf

#

why the fuck were people shitting on this

#

it instantly stacks uncanny and executor to 4

upper sun
#

long ass animation and you can accidentally cancel out of it but other than that its really good

long wharf
#

people aren't shitting on deimos

#

it's just not as straight forwards as ds4

upper sun
#

ehhh idk ds4 is harder for me

long wharf
#

deimos has highest potential single target damage for melee for psyker

#

I'm not a fan of getting locked onto an enemy via animation

harsh urchin
#

well you only need to use it once

long wharf
#

per enemy

harsh urchin
#

no lol

#

you just need to get executor/uncanny stacked

rigid sky
#

It's not that people shit on Deimos, it's that they shit on its special

long wharf
#

you aren't killing multiple enemies per special stab

harsh urchin
#

and then you can just l1 -> h2

harsh urchin
#

the special instantly stacks uncanny + executor

ornate hamlet
#

It's a clunky-ass special

long wharf
#

and if you come up against multiple crushers, you're only killing one a time with an attack that locks you into an animation

#

it's not instant damage

harsh urchin
#

no you dont want to keep using it lmao

#

you just use it once to stack the blessings, and now you have 100% rending and 30% power

#

and you'll just 2-shot the crushers from this point on

haughty star
rigid sky
#

I use Deimos as a slower Duelling Sword which can use Deflector and has a much better push

long wharf
#

well, ds4 also lets you dodge farther and move faster

harsh urchin
#

for example, look at this

long wharf
#

there's no denying deimos can put out more damage

torpid girder
#

I like using the duelling sword cuz i like how it looks and i think stabbing things is satisfying :)

long wharf
#

but for breakpoints, the ds4 is able to hit nearly all the same breakpoints

harsh urchin
#

@spice veldt look at how disgusting executor+uncanny is

#

when you can instantly stack them

upper sun
#

illisi and deimos are both very good either at clear or single target but the animation for deimos really bugs me

torpid girder
#

Which DC4 is better?

upper sun
#

like you can break and dodge out of some of it once the hand cant does the push thing

harsh urchin
#

so I'd go with that one

upper sun
#

oh shit its time for a new melk rotation i cant wait for the slop

spice veldt
harsh urchin
#

being able to instantly stack both blessings is pretty nice

torpid girder
#

Is there a mod to reduce the volume of the peril noise?

#

it drowns out my music :(

spice veldt
#

there's an option under option > interface called "Peril FX"

#

that scales both the visual and audio FX

upper sun
#

eh another day another betray by "sire" melk

hexed geyser
#

Put the music higher

long wharf
#

I'd like to say if your music is quiet enough for you to hear anything else, it's not loud enough

#

but audio cues are a big deal for situational awareness

hexed geyser
#

Exactly. Drown the peril noise with music instead

upper sun
#

idk listening listening to cupid or happy nation really helps me perform far more than "audio clues"

long wharf
#

audio clues are how I avoid getting hit

#

and pounced

#

and know how far away mutants are

zenith vessel
#

thats how i know to dodge

#

and/or push

long wharf
#

what the hell is that?

zenith vessel
#

its that old dude impersonating a dog !

upper sun
#

i meant to post the meme

zenith vessel
#

he 100% sounds like the pox hound lmao

long wharf
#

the woman next to him can't believe the shit she just heard

zenith vessel
#

i just looked up the video and its 13 yrs old, i might be dating myself

#

i think that's his wife 💀

long wharf
#

yeah, she's maintaining that polite grimace

little rapids
#

change both perks or upgrade warp flurry from III to IV?

#

i feel like the +1% will not be noticeable so i am leaning towards perks but im scared of irreversible decisions

long wharf
#

you want crit chance on purge

little rapids
#

for sure

#

idk about the second perk though

wet belfry
#

Flak

long wharf
#

maniac isn't bad

#

flak would be better overall

wet belfry
#

Most enemies are flak at torso in the game.

little rapids
#

does soulblaze do dmg based off torso armor? 🤔

#

u cant really aim it to a part of their body

wet belfry
#

All dot damage do

little rapids
#

thanks

lyric burrow
#

but im scared if i do i wont notice my peril anymore

#

cause now im so used to the screen and sound FX

eager token
#

the peril noise is especially annoying when you’re edging peril constantly

#

it’s just so loud lmao

#

having it go off like 3-4x in a row on surge sucks KEKW_ogryn

lyric burrow
#

yeah it does deafen me

little rapids
#

edging peril

spice veldt
#

i got that peril meter right in the center of my screen to help with that

lyric burrow
#

but ive had it for 1k hours now

little rapids
#

😐

eager token
lyric burrow
spice veldt
#

smh

little rapids
#

im almost there my beloved!

eager token
#

you gotta edge the warp

#

ride the lightning

#

the more you edge the more you crit the more you damage

upper sun
#

crit damage perks on surge only apply on primary attacks right?

long wharf
#

wrong

#

unless you meant surge blessing

upper sun
#

no the perks

long wharf
#

then it depends on if you're talking about trauma or void

upper sun
#

i mean the staff

torpid girder
long wharf
#

then yes, crit damage affects both, however crit damage perks are hot trash and to be avoided at all cost, across the board

#

the damage being multiplied isn't the total damage you deal on crit, but instead the difference between normal damage and crit damage

upper sun
#

yeah thats awful

long wharf
#

the dev at FartShack that implemented it that way needs to be dragged into the street and publically hung

little rapids
long wharf
#

weak spot damage perk works similarly

upper sun
#

i admire you for saying that on their discord

so many secret mechanics that arent in the flavor text

upper sun
#

im bending the knee irl

little rapids
#

and u just dont know until some guy on discord tells you

long wharf
#

well, a lot of us have been here since open beta

#

we've had to dig through Lua and do extensive testing to learn this stuff

#

really stupid.

little rapids
#

literally got this game like last week

#

lol

upper sun
long wharf
#

yeah, ammo packs really need to indicate how many uses they have left

upper sun
#

jesus im stupid i read crit chance as crit damage

#

thank god i didnt refine the staff yet

long wharf
#

you can get away with not having crit chance on your surge staff

#

it has a higher baseline crit chance already

#

and if you build around your surge staff, you're getting +5% crit chance from the talent tree already

upper sun
#

nah i have crit change and carap i think im better off removing the carap

long wharf
#

meta for surge staff right now is +flak and +elite damage

#

literally one enemy in the game has carapace body armor

upper sun
#

man id be lucky enough to get one of the things i wanted

long wharf
#

a lot of enemies have flak body armor

#

surge staff only hits the body

upper sun
#

yeah im doing carap for flac on it

#

not bad imo

shrewd shard
#

are keystoneless builds dumb?

upper sun
#

warp charges are reallly nice

shrewd shard
#

the only one i might use in my current build are warp charges but im also taking venting shriek

#

im worried i wont be able to hold charges cause ill be spamming venting shriek

upper sun
#

nah you can get them from psychic vampire too or the soulblaze one

little rapids
dim parrot
#

play dd

little rapids
#

getting them is so ez

shrewd shard
#

trying soulblaze with every soulblaze talent but not using the rifthaven staff

#

its just so mid'

upper sun
shrewd shard
#

and i have a decent staff as well i just dont feel like im a stagger support with no hp

upper sun
#

nothing wrong with a stagger support

little rapids
#

yeah with cdr aura and the other synergies, it seems doable

shrewd shard
#

but i hear u king

shrewd shard
#

i prob wasnt running the right build

little rapids
#

i have triple block effiencies curios for deflector

#

1% peril for this block oh thank you

upper sun
#

maaan

#

i once died to peril because i accidentally pushed with a force sword

#

im too scared to run whats it called

#

kinetic deflection

little rapids
#

it cant kill you

#

i dont think it even takes u to 100

#

like 85 or something

upper sun
#

the talent cant?

little rapids
#

nope

#

it says "while below critical peril"

upper sun
#

ah yeah with "when below critical"

little rapids
#

i mean, if you keep force pushing after

#

sure it can kill you

upper sun
#

yeah eh im not great with edging peril id rather spring for toughness

#

ye but its the push that kills you

#

like i usually try to go block push into dodge then switch to ranged if im against a mauler

long wharf
#

and put +elite and +flak on the perks

#

it's the combination of +elite and +flak that lets you hit certain breakpoints

upper sun
long wharf
#

oh okay

#

I thought you posted a screenshot earlier with it having flurry3

#

oh, that was kurama's purge staff

#

my bad

little rapids
#

i have influenced your mind sibling

rotund fable
#

The teams Zealot: 20 seconds after shooting a pox-burster "Our Psyker has found faith and fury!"
Me, the psyker who was yeeted into the horde by an exploding poxburster: Panic swinging my sword and trying to get back with the group while avoiding the attacks of 4 maulers and a crusher. "Why am i in the middle of all this!"

#

sometimes the voicelines are entertaining

upper sun
#

I like how one of the zealots secretly wants to be besties with one of the enforcer psyker

#

yeah lets talk about the art scene while im fighting for my life dodging muties

#

the surge blessing doesnt work with trauma/surge the way i wish it would im guessing? 😔

spice veldt
#

surge doesn't exist on surge (this is a deranged sentence)

#

and surge doesn't work at all for trauma

lyric burrow
#

it is a void blessing p much

rotund fable
#

Would be kinda nuts if they could work on them though

little rapids
#

i suppose

rotund fable
#

Trauma staff causing 2 shockwaves on crit, and Surge staff firing 2 botls at once on crit

upper sun
rotund fable
lyric burrow
#

they have renamed blessings before

#

so its possible

#

wouldnt count on it though

upper sun
#

yeah we need more weird headgear and awful trinkets

rigid sky
long wharf
#

I really wish all the force staves were a single archtype so they shared blessings

#

they have too many blessings in common for this not to make sense

lunar hollow
#

i think it would be more bearable if they added more staffs to each "family"

long wharf
#

nah

upper sun
#

too late for that I already have all the blessings i need for all of them

long wharf
#

the pain of getting Warp Flurry 4 4 times is stupid and wouldn't be alleviated by there being multiple surge staves

lunar hollow
#

the only thing u can really hope for is they just make crafting overall less dogshit

rigid sky
#

At least flurry III isn't terrible

lunar hollow
#

i dont think staffs are particularly bad in that sense because a lot of weapons have identical blessings that dont carry over already

long wharf
#

on top of that, three of the 4 force staves have the exact same primary attack

rigid sky
#

It's not as huge a difference as PC4 or Thrust 4

long wharf
#

they all have the same special attack

upper sun
#

if they really wanna keep the grind for the "player retention" they should at least give us one chance a month to change something outside of the crafting system if they dont wanna change the crafting system

rigid sky
long wharf
#

it just makes sense that all "force staff" weapons have the same base archtype

rigid sky
long wharf
#

which is all I've wanted since release

#

back when surge hit up to 5 enemies

rigid sky
long wharf
#

burns so hot it ignites your very soul

#

doesn't seem like such a bad request to me

sullen rapids
long wharf
#

force swords have blazing spirit already

sullen rapids
#

i would literally never use a force sword again if i could have blazing spirit on my knife

#

or the dueling sword

long wharf
#

now, it's a real shame True Aim only works for ranged attacks

sullen rapids
#

it would make wildfire less bad

long wharf
#

it ought to be for all attacks

prime elk
#

Force daggers when

long wharf
#

then we could really go ham with Illisi and bloodthirsty+blazing spirit

sullen rapids
#

i just want blazing spirit on the normal knife

#

i do NOT want a force knife because it’ll have a dogshit push attack

rigid sky
#

Tfw the push attack is the best thing about force swords

long wharf
#

the psyker ought to be able to imbue any melee weapon with warp energy for an energized swing

sullen rapids
#

the push attack is dogshit it’s gotten me killed to bursters too many times

long wharf
#

don't push attack bursters then?

#

just push them

sullen rapids
#

normal push sucks for that too

long wharf
#

pushing is super reliable

#

not at all

#

you just suck at it

#

git gud.

spice veldt
#

force swords have one of the best pushes

sullen rapids
#

i literally do not have this problem with anything other than the force swords

spice veldt
#

1 bar cost for a push that has an equivalent strength to 2-bar push weapons and a slightly longer push range

#

one of the worst weapons for blocking in terms of stamina stats but one of the best for pushing

rigid sky
#

And then the follow up which is a ranged push attack

spice veldt
#

i personally hate the push-attack

#

i wish it was offensive so that it could be thrown into normal combos

rigid sky
#

Also the block is pretty good on Deimos I think? It feels better than Duelling Sword at least

#

But then again I run Deflector too

spice veldt
#

maybe it has a better block stat than the other two force swords

#

but the mk4 and mk2 duellies have a block cost of 0.5

#

(mk5 has a block cost of ~0.33 at 80% defense)

#

at least the obscurus has a block cost of 1, and i didn't really test on the illisi and deimos

long wharf
#

I basically never block with my ds4

#

except to push bursters

rigid sky
#

But you can actively quell with a force sword out at least if you find moments. Which isn't often if you're being pressured enough that you need to block

#

Since most psykers run Kinetic deflection

long wharf
#

I think the psyker should be able to quell with any weapon

#

but I also think the psyker should only get one-handed weapons so that they can quell with any weapon

spice veldt
#

i usually always quell with my staff so i don't find quelling with force swords to be particularly useful
esp since you can't cancel attacks with quelling

rigid sky
spice veldt
#

so you have to wait for the attack animation to finish before you can quell with force swords unless you're cancelling it

rigid sky
#

I like to quell with my sword because fancy animation

spice veldt
#

the other thing is that the game cheats in your favor when pushing bursters anyways so the particular push of the melee weapon doesn't matter

vernal blaze
#

worth or nah

spice veldt
#

if you've ever noticed that you can push a burster without a hitmarker displaying

#

and at a farther range than the normal push

long wharf
vernal blaze
#

and is t4 flurry a good enough perk to consider doing that

long wharf
#

all t4 blessings on weapons you want to use are worth spending Milkies on

#

it's the best use of Milkies

vernal blaze
#

sir yes sir whatthefuck_heresy

shrewd shard
#

decent?

lyric burrow
#

Yeah

#

Uh id probably swap nexus to t4 and sustained to surge

#

Cara maniac is fine imo even if its not perfect

#

But tbh second perk is kinda w/e after cara

lunar hollow
#

voidstrike is smth else

#

the only thing that downed me was being 1 second off shriek being able to save me

long wharf
#

yeah, if you have good aim, a flurry+surge void staff can output a lot of damage

#

via True Aim

#

I prefer to go nexus+surge for consistency, especially in situations where there aren't a bunch of heads lined up nicely to hit

#

like stagger-locking bosses

lunar hollow
#

yea i run nexus/surge but my void has 4% crit locked in so im just kinda going with the theme

lapis violet
#

is this worth getting siblings?

prime elk
#

for milk bucks? defnitely not

lunar hollow
#

if u dont have any other purg staffs that is a solid start

#

perks are a bit of a shame but u swap run n gun to warp nexus and cara to probably uhh flak

lapis violet
#

my current one

#

it actually does appear to be quite good

lyric burrow
#

voids a little unreal

lunar hollow
#

cloud radius/burn are the two most important stats

lyric burrow
#

ive been running it recently

lunar hollow
#

damage is relatively minor so its a better dumpstat than cloud

lapis violet
#

i chose the one i had because the other one i could have had was like a 50 burn

urban sandal
#

shit goes off cd as i blow up

lunar hollow
#

ive had it happen twice where the last frame before death it has 0.2s left

Psyker is my most fun class, but at the same time it's also my least fun, but I can't play others because they don't have the thing psyker has that tickles my brain

long wharf
#

it can't be both your most fun and least fun class

#

you can have least fun builds with the class

wind spruce

psyker is fun

long wharf

it's the most fun, in my opinion

little rapids
#

enemies go boom

hexed geyser
#

Nice the special mission is still there. Is it going to stay forever or it's unknown?

long wharf
#

likely forever

#

or until FartShack changes their mind and wants to put up a new special mission

hexed geyser
#

If they put them in a special category with all the "story" missions available it would be amazing.

long wharf
#

it's the only "story" mission we have so far

austere crest
#

The opening scene prison breakout is so awesome

long wharf
#

we need more story missions

austere crest
#

i would love another level like that where there is alot of like environmental story telling

#

i run it on solo mode sometimes but you can only use a single weapon

long wharf
#

given FartShack's history with Vermintide 1/2, we were all surprised to see no story missions past the tutorial mission for Darktide on release

#

FartShack was definitely not ready to release Darktide

vivid estuary
#

Can't wait till darktide has a mode like pilgrimage

harsh urchin
#

i mean tbh

long wharf
#

what's that?

harsh urchin
#

the game doesnt really need a story

long wharf
#

on the contrary, it absolutely needs a story

vivid estuary
#

You just mentioned vermintide and don't know what pilgrimage is?

long wharf
#

story is why we're running missions on Atoma in the first place

long wharf
#

you really can't have a WH40K game without story or plot

vivid estuary
#

Ah, so basically it's marathon mode where you do abunch of missions back to back and there are special missions at the end

#

you get to collect buffs along the way too

harsh urchin
#

chaos wastes?

#

tbh i wasnt the biggest fan of it

#

they kinda fucked up the feel of how a roguelike is supposed to feel

vivid estuary
#

it's not a roguelike though

#

it's a marathon

long wharf
#

just adding a random element doesn't make something a roguelike

fresh reef
#

@spice veldt hey Arco, can you pass me your degenerate graphics config? and/or, any suggestions to lower cpu usage?

vivid estuary
#

like deep dives in deep rock

long wharf
#

the term "roguelike" is being horribly abused these days

vivid estuary
#

calling chaos wastes a roguelike is like saying CoD zombies is a roguelike

long wharf
hexed geyser
#

I know it's not great but what's your ideas to make this better (i know abt dum dum)? I want some opinions

long wharf
#

a real shame

#

strip speedload off and try again

#

it's bricked

hexed geyser
#

I know it is, it's still usable to test until i want to make a great one.

spice veldt
#

the "MoreGraphicsOptions" mod should cover a lot of what i did to my config

#

besides the texture settings I think which you may or may not want to subject yourself to

#

but if you do, they're these lines

texture_settings = {
    "content/texture_categories/character_bc" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_bca" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_bcm" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_hm" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_mask" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_mask2" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_nm" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/character_orm" = 6
    "content/texture_categories/environment_bc" = 7
    "content/texture_categories/environment_bca" = 7
    "content/texture_categories/environment_hm" = 7
    "content/texture_categories/environment_nm" = 7
    "content/texture_categories/environment_orm" = 7
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_bc" = 3
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_bca" = 3
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_hm" = 3
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_mask" = 3
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_nm" = 3
    "content/texture_categories/weapon_orm" = 3
}
Higher values correlate to lower-quality textures. E.g., '0' is the highest quality possible, and '8' is very low quality.
Setting the value to '-1' will choose the lowest quality texture allowable, it seems.

I played with a psyker the other day who was using a purg staff and force sword I believe. He would cast with staff then swap to melee and his melee attack speed seemed insanely fast and strong, the fastest swing speed I've ever seen. Could someone tell me what was going on there?

long wharf
#

he was using his melee blessings to buff soulblaze damage

spice veldt
#

force sword lights come out quick and most of the downtime is after the attack

little rapids
#

i dont think theres any synergy between the two, maybe he just had a fast illisi lol

spice veldt
#

so you can just swap off during the attack to avoid the endlag and swap back to melee

#

prob a macro

#

or the now-taken-off always first attack mod

long wharf
#

that mod was straight cheating

spice veldt
#

or a deranged person doing it manually

long wharf
#

there are several mods out there that are straight cheating

little rapids
#

how essential is crit bonus on surge staff

#

i got 65% with otherwise good numbers

long wharf
#

it's not critical

deep pine
#

Well I have 200 hours on patch 16...so I'm not totally clueless...bit his swing speed was literally twice as fast as my zealot using devil claw.

long wharf
#

meta surge staff is warp nexus, warp flurry, +flak damage, +elite damage

little rapids
#

honestly

#

figuring out the meta blessings was pretty easy

#

LOL

long wharf
#

especially for surge

little rapids
#

it has like 5 and im not putting hit and run on it

long wharf
#

we should get a staff that only rolls movement-related blessings

little rapids
#

im so plasteel broke fuck

#

i play a mission --> upgrade --> zero plasteel

long wharf
#

welcome to the Darktide end-game

#

where you go broke on plasteel and dockets

little rapids
#

yeah i keep wanting to buy that cool psyker pajama set then i keep on spending it on staves

lyric burrow
#

ordos are actually such a bottleneck its insane

little rapids
#

are they

#

it seems like plasteel is

#

i never run out of ordos

lyric burrow
#

it depends on luck

long wharf
#

you haven't tried to build a weapon, then

#

Brunt is the real end-game boss

little rapids
#

like rolling for the exact stats u want?

long wharf
#

and you can only fight him with dockets

little rapids
#

oof

lyric burrow
#

but generally you are buying 50 weapons to get one good oine

long wharf
#

and then Hadron bricks it

lyric burrow
#

which is like 500k dockets

long wharf
#

so you have to go buy 50 more

lyric burrow
#

and thats assuming hadron doesnt brick it yeah

wet belfry
#

I spent near 5 million yesterday on knives and got one 380

long wharf
#

the most I've burned through at Brunts in one sitting was 1.3mil

wet belfry
#

and that one was bricked by hadron

lyric burrow
#

same i think

long wharf
#

Brunt is the end-game boss

#

Hadron is his phase two

lyric burrow
#

if you arent going for 70+ in all important stats then its less grueling

wet belfry
#

5 million shouldnt take to long anyways to get back

lyric burrow
#

but i am going for 70+

wet belfry
#

probably around 5 hours of pure playing.

long wharf
#

damnation maelstroms will help get that back

#

with a good striketeam

wet belfry
#

^ and you can speedrun them in like 12 minutes

#

Ok my intuition might be abit wrong

#

i think 2.5 million is more around the max value that you can farm in 5 hours.

#

so 0.5 million ordo dockets per hour.

long wharf
#

I'm not sure how you're getting through a damnation in 12 minutes, let alone a damnation maelstrom

wet belfry
#

Speed zealots go zoom zoom

long wharf
#

that'd require everyone being a speed zealot/veteran

wet belfry
#

Pretty much

spice veldt
#

magistrati moment

wet belfry
#

If your lucky you also can get a map with a skip or two.

long wharf
#

yeah, the only map you're getting through in 12 minutes reliably is the fast assassination mission

wet belfry
#

Well mods let one replay maps over, over again anyways

long wharf
#

mods don't change what maps are available

wet belfry
#

It would have to be some real bad luck to not get a single map that cant be speedrunned

long wharf
#

you only get one non-auric maelstrom option at a time

wet belfry
#

Its all maelstroms within 24 hours.

long wharf
#

well, alrighty then

#

I don't know why I expected more competence out of FartShack

wet belfry
#

This mod can by the way be used to play solo with mats.

#

Since if you play a session on public that has expired people cant join that match.

long wharf
#

being the only person collecting all the mats would take longer than having everyone on the team picking up mats

wet belfry
#

True'

#

I usally dont care about mats too much but ordos

#

Ordos are the actual bottleneck by now.

long wharf
#

but at least you wouldn't see players ping mats and then turn around and leave them there

#

god that irritates me

wet belfry
#

But having players does also make the run just faster aswell

#

I can complete a speedrun mission myself in like 15 to 16 minutes.

long wharf
#

as long as they're better than bots

wet belfry
#

But with 4 players that gets reduced to 11 to 12

#

Its usally to communicate everything beforehand doing the runs.

#

Like general stragety, goals.

#

Its extremely important that everyone does not get in eachothers ways

#

Players that actually dont know what they are doing will infact likely slow down the run.

long wharf
#

well yeah

wet belfry
#

The best part is when everyone jumps off ledges like lemmings so that the front person can get past elevator sections

long wharf
#

how does that work?

wet belfry
#

It needs to be timed as the front runner gets to an elevator

#

Usally you try to have one front runner, one to three backrunners that collect mats.

#

The front runner only goal is to move forward objectives.

long wharf
#

right, but elevators require everyone to be in them

wet belfry
#

Ye which is why everyone kills themselves before the elevator sections

long wharf
#

well that's a bit extreme

wet belfry
#

Nothing is extreme enough in the service of the god emperor

long wharf
#

heh

#

apparently not

#

I'll report myself to the Commissar immediately

wet belfry
#

Though i dont often run elevator maps for this reason

#

Enclaavaum barros is the map i usally run the most.

#

It has no elevator sections

#

and is decently fast map.

long wharf
#

sounds boring

wet belfry
#

Probably true :p

#

magistrati oubliete is actually pretty fun at the end in speedruns,

#

3 monstrocitys with traitor boss is something to witness.

long wharf
#

that sounds fun

Valid arguments.

If I'm playing gunker I take toughness regen, and I'm not totally convinced it isn't worth it in general. The delay is tiny and you regen so quickly with +90%. Getting to full toughness for the damage gate is so valuable. I go back and forth on it.
