#psyker-class
1 messages · Page 1115 of 1
people are simply playing a different game
and they are pretty set in their ways
Not everyone runs into melee and whacks shit with a stick at every opportunity
I never use assail and i maintain DD plenty fine, idk
resistant to change
i do
but i am not everyone
I basically play melee with every class until ranged it the only option
I'm with you
Psykinetic's aura is too strong for me to take assail
i just shoot people to maintain DD
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.
quite the opposite based on what pubs i see
I just don't like the guns in general, that's why i play only psyker and revos on other classes
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
The only people who complain about ammo economy in my opinion are people who don't melee often enough
or loot
True
Scrier's gaze + melee is just fantastic
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
yep, it's great if you need it and the other option (auto brainburst every 15 seconds or whatever) isnt that great imo
is it
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
I hate watching morons just use smite on the entire map and have zero damage at the end of the match
we all seen the dude smite a single poxwalker
here's ds4/knife+revolver assail EP that I use:
i usually just walk past at that point lol
You have used something that exists and the devs gave it to you. Prepare to be harassed for eternity
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
yeah my b
I'll try that, thanks for taking the time to do 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
At least we aren't the DS community
idk i think the horde clear is pretty damn awful
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
Those fuckers can't let anyone enjoy anything
so you can stack all these buffs just so your horde clear can be Still Worse Than Base Illisi™
DS4 is better than illisi sometimes
Damn, hadron didnt fuck me
you should know that every method that differs from mine is incorrect and you should feel bad for using it
yeah i mean this is what happens every time 😛
for crushers and maulers i agree
for damn near anything else i wanna say no
Obviously illisi is better than ds4 for horde, but just try to use it on a boss to regret your life choices
that's what i bring brain burst for, innit
Oh? You used (insert game mechanic here)? You aren't a real gamer because you haven't shoved your entire PC up your ass and beat Melenia with a toothbrush
got my force hammer ready to smash
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
And what blessings for the weapon? I would go on shred/uncanny and surgical/hand-cannon unless there's something i'm missing?
Not bad, but painfully mid
anyone wanna trade an illisi for a demios?
what's your preference
back-pocket smite in case of emergency?
Most of the times yeah
understandable
"Don't worry, I've sent some of our best operatives on this mission"
crusher?
That's how you know it's gonna be a fun mission
friendly reminder
What else do i put on my voidstrike if i have Warp Nexus, Surge and 25% carapace?
thats a great combination
yeah but i dunno, i like my surge staff so much
crit or flak maniac
i get it, surge staff best staff
CC is just so nice
Would Elites work?
That might push you to 1-shot Crushers?
I personally would go for shred/uncanny + cara/unyielding so it does well against crushers/bosses, and yeah standard surgical/hc + flak/maniac on the revolver to handle specials/gunners/crushers
but im noticing that the fully charged m2 has knockdown
I believe it will stagger bosses too
it wont
it will stagger bosses with a surge headshot
Gonna try it on my crit surge build, see if i like it more than my surge
I would go 5% crit
this is one of the few times
where I recommend 5% crit over a 25% roll lol
no cuz surge exists
surge basically says = your crits do 300% damage
something like that
Ye, damn. Makes me wish that the Surge staff had some interesting blessings
^RunnGun
no surge crit explodes twice
I would do some testing with hand cannon before commiting to it
so double crit projectile + double explosion x 2
Can you imagine, AOE explosion on surge crit kill
It's not bad persay, just sometimes not useful
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
I wouldn't know, I haven't run kinetic flayer since pre-class rework
same
Aw
it was great on that overpowered shredder autopistol build
Pairs really nicely
It's just not very good anymore
it needs a retweak imo
The cooldown is far too high
Go get a treat
Its not even 200% damage
thx it was very heavy
it either needs to be guaranteed every X seconds, or 10% chance with lower cooldown
Juicy chat this morning siblings
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
the 15 sec cooldown makes it kinda shit
wish it was shorter
I find it enjoyable
The second phase of scriers doesn't have the base damage and crit chance included, only the stacking bonus
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
every 15s in a 30min match is 120 additional headpops
i dont mind it
but i tend to plan on where it goes too
100 of which are regular melees just tryna get thru their day without their brains being burst
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
i think i'd like it more if it was already part of BB and didnt require an extra point
trying different builds and playstyles is great to keep things engaging and discover new things about the game
id love that
ye
nothin wrong with that at all
i think the warp area could use condensing too
and make them more interesting
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?
It also needs nerfing tbh
fatshark relocating the entire patch 12 feat tree into the keystone
like smite does on its node
i think that just this passive BB proc is just inherently boring
bc its the only blitz thats super single target
i'd rework/replace the node entirely
Warp charges + psykinetics aura is too good
Yeah but you're a crackie
having it auto proc as the EP version is ok but then it requires taking EP over the other two choices
but like, have u ever done grey weapon challenges and stuff?
I am too tryhard for that
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
lol seer mentions they can hear music when the hoirdes come
Seer has a few mentions like that, like they're aware of another reality (ours)
EP assail is hot garbage CMV
I see people use it pretty well
ye it just requires a lot of effort
I jsut don't like blitzes as primary weapons
it isn't brainless like vs or surge
feels out of balance compared to like a couple nades lol
I feel assail is incredibly brainless to play, they are nice, but don't require thinking
'
EP assail is fine
Yondu whistles
it's +50 damage and 2x targets hittable
^das good
and a slightly increased crit weakspot multiplier
or was it crit multiplier
i forgor
something finesse-y is increased
My issue is the uptime tbh
im new so this is a noob take
but i loved assail when leveling up my psyker
now that i have good staff and melee i find it hard to ever use assail when i can just do better with my weapons it feels like
i actually want to use assail again but idk what to build for it. makes me sadge
arco
hi
plesae save me
no
do you want to play
i'm doing homework (ignore my presence on discord)
what class
computer architecture
i think quell cancel cancelled assail for me, but does require more aimin
oof wtf
LEARN
is quell cancel significant actually
DO GOOD
or just meta minmax stuff
its hella nice on surge
that too
which is whats shown
Surge secondary has a great quell cancel, that makes warpflurry not really needed
so frees up the slot
i use vs warp flurry
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.
tbh flurrys good although you arent spamming multiple surge casts super often unless its your boss/cara damage
^^^
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
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
plasma + psword grindset
hey there bby
wait if youll talk to me like that you dont have to do homework
this happened to me 3 times so far this week, with team right next to me, and im not quiet lol
it was partially my fault igg I should have dodged out the way or tried to push it faster Lol
it is although you shouldnt have died for it here
you got hounded in a very recoverable spot
Full Health:
i try not to get mad at teammates but sometimes they really tempt me

i wouldnt say anything to them
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
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
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"
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
Happens "uhhh psyker can we please get the ammo you're carrying"
i told them vacuum capsule
"huh? wha? ammo? OH."
havent used the stuff in so long mb g
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
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
or u just hear a poxburster and prep for a sec and the team just books it :/
that was bull you had the dog
nah id be so sad
i was oh surely hes coming to get you
i agree\ i was pretty confident with that cast
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
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 
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
right? bursters are so annoying
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
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
im still really proud of this burster death
that is so sad
Game I don't want or need 3 of these
XD
this is the way
hate it when the shop reserts
I love when the shop resets, I'm taking bets on how badly Hadron bricks this
+sprint efficiency, +weakspot damage, Terrifying Barrage and run + gun
Not bad 
For the lulz
not good
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
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 
like I said, expensive test
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
The burden of having an INCOMPARABLE MIND.
It's outrageous that the shop has rolls that low at lvl 30
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
Next time I want you to predict blaze trauma perks and blessings please, if you get 2 out of 4 correct again I can fix it 
Melk's has this, worth?
your psyker isn't royalty, you meant "barren"
Cloud radius is a bit too low imo
I'm not good at math, sorry.
If you don't have a purgatus but have enough Melk bucks you could buy it I guess. Be a short range purg psyker 
melk good for curios tho too
I wouldn't though, purgatus is one of the easier ones to roll
people buy curios from milk? 🤨
if you buy enough it can be worth it
waste of milk bucks
definite waste of Milkies
also 90% of melk's stuff is trash if you dont need the blessings
Milkies are for t4 blessings you don't have and god-rolled finds, that's it
Sour Milk can eat dicks otherwise
Woah!! I broke 1 mil dmg for the first time on any of my classes and it was on psyker!!
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
my godrolled power sword came from Sour Milk
my 4 god rolled illisi all came from camping brunts 
Barons are members of the nobility. They aren't necessarily royalty.
fair, but not the point
If you're gonna nitpick so shall I
you think correcting someone using the wrong homonym is "nitpick"?
How good is this DS mk4?
very
nothing else to buy there
does having T4 of shred matter at all?
it's not significant
ok that's fair then
the blessing book is full, so rng is mainly just for being anal about modifiers XD
How should I be using it btw? just heavy attack spam or do I H1 to special attack
^^
is that a 2
he said it was a 4
oh i cant read
The voices
That last run gave me a headache
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
surely its no problem for an incomparable mind such as yours?
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
Oh no that's the thing, I got things down and it wasn't even that killed me
It was a silent burster from behind me
Getting RL friends to play Darktide seems like a universal pain atp
every trapper and burtser in a 2 mile radius
nah idk its 100% worth
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
Lemme find my best silent burster video rq
Getting to clutch on heresy after getting crunched in auric maelstrom is a fun power fantasy
Happened omw to medicae too, was pretty salty about this one 
heh nuthin personel kid...
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
long ass animation and you can accidentally cancel out of it but other than that its really good
ehhh idk ds4 is harder for me
deimos has highest potential single target damage for melee for psyker
I'm not a fan of getting locked onto an enemy via animation
well you only need to use it once
per enemy
It's not that people shit on Deimos, it's that they shit on its special
you aren't killing multiple enemies per special stab
and then you can just l1 -> h2
watch the video
the special instantly stacks uncanny + executor
It's a clunky-ass special
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
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
It's just a mystery eviscerator
I use Deimos as a slower Duelling Sword which can use Deflector and has a much better push
well, ds4 also lets you dodge farther and move faster
for example, look at this
there's no denying deimos can put out more damage
I like using the duelling sword cuz i like how it looks and i think stabbing things is satisfying :)
but for breakpoints, the ds4 is able to hit nearly all the same breakpoints
@spice veldt look at how disgusting executor+uncanny is
when you can instantly stack them
illisi and deimos are both very good either at clear or single target but the animation for deimos really bugs me
Which DC4 is better?
like you can break and dodge out of some of it once the hand cant does the push thing
they're both pretty bad, but the right one has better stats
so I'd go with that one
oh shit its time for a new melk rotation i cant wait for the slop
huh neat it also works for executor
yeah it's actually quite insane
being able to instantly stack both blessings is pretty nice
there's an option under option > interface called "Peril FX"
that scales both the visual and audio FX
eh another day another betray by "sire" melk
Put the music higher
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
Exactly. Drown the peril noise with music instead
idk listening listening to cupid or happy nation really helps me perform far more than "audio clues"
audio clues are how I avoid getting hit
and pounced
and know how far away mutants are
what the hell is that?
its that old dude impersonating a dog !
i meant to post the meme
he 100% sounds like the pox hound lmao
the woman next to him can't believe the shit she just heard
i just looked up the video and its 13 yrs old, i might be dating myself
i think that's his wife 💀
yeah, she's maintaining that polite grimace
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
you want crit chance on purge
Flak
Most enemies are flak at torso in the game.
does soulblaze do dmg based off torso armor? 🤔
u cant really aim it to a part of their body
All dot damage do
thanks
i have yet to turn this down
but im scared if i do i wont notice my peril anymore
cause now im so used to the screen and sound FX
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 
yeah it does deafen me
edging peril
i got that peril meter right in the center of my screen to help with that
but ive had it for 1k hours now
😐

i dont use my eyes sorry
smh
im almost there my beloved!
you gotta edge the warp
ride the lightning
the more you edge the more you crit the more you damage

crit damage perks on surge only apply on primary attacks right?
no the perks
then it depends on if you're talking about trauma or void
i mean the staff
OMG WAIT REALLY?
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
yeah thats awful
the dev at FartShack that implemented it that way needs to be dragged into the street and publically hung
i hate how many things in this game are like that
weak spot damage perk works similarly
i admire you for saying that on their discord
so many secret mechanics that arent in the flavor text
im bending the knee irl
and u just dont know until some guy on discord tells you
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.
i got so mad when i learned that ammo packs work with charges
yeah, ammo packs really need to indicate how many uses they have left
jesus im stupid i read crit chance as crit damage
thank god i didnt refine the staff yet
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
nah i have crit change and carap i think im better off removing the carap
meta for surge staff right now is +flak and +elite damage
literally one enemy in the game has carapace body armor
man id be lucky enough to get one of the things i wanted
are keystoneless builds dumb?
warp charges are reallly nice
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
nah you can get them from psychic vampire too or the soulblaze one
i literally use shield and i already have 6 warp charges before shield is down
play dd
getting them is so ez
trying soulblaze with every soulblaze talent but not using the rifthaven staff
its just so mid'
i had once psyker that managed to keep a shield up almost always in one game
and i have a decent staff as well i just dont feel like im a stagger support with no hp
nothing wrong with a stagger support
yeah with cdr aura and the other synergies, it seems doable
it is when my team goes down and i get shredded cause i have no dps
but i hear u king
CDR curios 
i prob wasnt running the right build
hahaha
i have triple block effiencies curios for deflector
1% peril for this block oh thank you
maaan
i once died to peril because i accidentally pushed with a force sword
im too scared to run whats it called
kinetic deflection
the talent cant?
ah yeah with "when below critical"
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
I would have left Warp Flurry 3 on there
and put +elite and +flak on the perks
it's the combination of +elite and +flak that lets you hit certain breakpoints
I really dont remember if it had before I think it was terrifying barrage
oh okay
I thought you posted a screenshot earlier with it having flurry3
oh, that was kurama's purge staff
my bad
i have influenced your mind sibling
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
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
also im assuming the camera sway thing is screen shake essentially
the surge blessing doesnt work with trauma/surge the way i wish it would im guessing? 😔
unfortunately not
surge doesn't exist on surge (this is a deranged sentence)
and surge doesn't work at all for trauma
it is a void blessing p much
I assume you're referring the the blessing that doubles projectiles on a crit?
Surge staff secondary fire doesn't count at a projectile, and neither does the secondary fire on trauma.
Would be kinda nuts if they could work on them though
i suppose
Trauma staff causing 2 shockwaves on crit, and Surge staff firing 2 botls at once on crit
how long until they rename the blessing jesus
Probably never...
yeah we need more weird headgear and awful trinkets
Not a bad thing. Primary benefit of warp charges is ult CDR. Damage is a bonus. Also think, every time you venting Shriek you are dumping soulblaze onto a new crowd, which generates more warp charges. Warp charges and Shriek are made for one another imo.
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
i think it would be more bearable if they added more staffs to each "family"
nah
too late for that I already have all the blessings i need for all of them
the pain of getting Warp Flurry 4 4 times is stupid and wouldn't be alleviated by there being multiple surge staves
the only thing u can really hope for is they just make crafting overall less dogshit
At least flurry III isn't terrible
i dont think staffs are particularly bad in that sense because a lot of weapons have identical blessings that dont carry over already
on top of that, three of the 4 force staves have the exact same primary attack
It's not as huge a difference as PC4 or Thrust 4
they all have the same special attack
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
My trauma also sets things on fire though :)
it just makes sense that all "force staff" weapons have the same base archtype
Getting a bonk kill should trigger a special voice line
and if the staves shared blessings, your surge staff could also set things on fire
which is all I've wanted since release
back when surge hit up to 5 enemies
The "percy decided not to give you a sponge" special huh
do that for the normal melees on psyker too
force swords have blazing spirit already
i would literally never use a force sword again if i could have blazing spirit on my knife
or the dueling sword
now, it's a real shame True Aim only works for ranged attacks
it would make wildfire less bad
it ought to be for all attacks
Force daggers when
then we could really go ham with Illisi and bloodthirsty+blazing spirit
no
i just want blazing spirit on the normal knife
i do NOT want a force knife because it’ll have a dogshit push attack
Tfw the push attack is the best thing about force swords
the psyker ought to be able to imbue any melee weapon with warp energy for an energized swing
the push attack is dogshit it’s gotten me killed to bursters too many times
normal push sucks for that too
force swords have one of the best pushes
i literally do not have this problem with anything other than the force swords
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
And then the follow up which is a ranged push attack
i personally hate the push-attack
i wish it was offensive so that it could be thrown into normal combos
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
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
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
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
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
Yeah, just make it basic rate like with your blitz out
so you have to wait for the attack animation to finish before you can quell with force swords unless you're cancelling it
I like to quell with my sword because fancy animation
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
worth or nah
if you've ever noticed that you can push a burster without a hitmarker displaying
and at a farther range than the normal push
unless you want to buy it to strip flurry4 off it, I wouldn't
and is t4 flurry a good enough perk to consider doing that
all t4 blessings on weapons you want to use are worth spending Milkies on
it's the best use of Milkies
sir yes sir 
decent?
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
voidstrike is smth else
the only thing that downed me was being 1 second off shriek being able to save me
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
yea i run nexus/surge but my void has 4% crit locked in so im just kinda going with the theme
is this worth getting siblings?
for milk bucks? defnitely not
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
voids a little unreal
cloud radius/burn are the two most important stats
ive been running it recently
damage is relatively minor so its a better dumpstat than cloud
i chose the one i had because the other one i could have had was like a 50 burn
this happens to me more than I wish to admit
shit goes off cd as i blow up
ive had it happen twice where the last frame before death it has 0.2s left
you having a stroke?
No
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
it can't be both your most fun and least fun class
you can have least fun builds with the class
It can if you only play one class.
It could also be by different metrics that it's the most and least fun.
psyker is fun
it's the most fun, in my opinion
enemies go boom
Nice the special mission is still there. Is it going to stay forever or it's unknown?
likely forever
or until FartShack changes their mind and wants to put up a new special mission
If they put them in a special category with all the "story" missions available it would be amazing.
it's the only "story" mission we have so far
The opening scene prison breakout is so awesome
we need more story missions
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
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
Can't wait till darktide has a mode like pilgrimage
i mean tbh
what's that?
the game doesnt really need a story
on the contrary, it absolutely needs a story
You just mentioned vermintide and don't know what pilgrimage is?
story is why we're running missions on Atoma in the first place
yes, mentioned Vermintide, I haven't played the Vermintide games
you really can't have a WH40K game without story or plot
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
chaos wastes?
tbh i wasnt the biggest fan of it
they kinda fucked up the feel of how a roguelike is supposed to feel
just adding a random element doesn't make something a roguelike
@spice veldt hey Arco, can you pass me your degenerate graphics config? and/or, any suggestions to lower cpu usage?
like deep dives in deep rock
the term "roguelike" is being horribly abused these days
calling chaos wastes a roguelike is like saying CoD zombies is a roguelike
just turn ragdolls all the way down
I know it's not great but what's your ideas to make this better (i know abt dum dum)? I want some opinions
I know it is, it's still usable to test until i want to make a great one.
there's stuff that's prob just going to be marginal improvements
there's stuff like max_ragdolls like pfhoenix said that you can said to 1 (but not 0 since that will crash your game)
static_sun_shadows, which can be set to false and then disable sunrays seen in the mourningstar/desert map/etc.
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.

uahughuahghnnnnnnng
gonna give this a once over, sounds interesting
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?
he was using his melee blessings to buff soulblaze damage
force sword lights come out quick and most of the downtime is after the attack
i dont think theres any synergy between the two, maybe he just had a fast illisi lol
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
that mod was straight cheating
or a deranged person doing it manually
there are several mods out there that are straight cheating
it's not critical
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.
meta surge staff is warp nexus, warp flurry, +flak damage, +elite damage
especially for surge
it has like 5 and im not putting hit and run on it
we should get a staff that only rolls movement-related blessings
yeah i keep wanting to buy that cool psyker pajama set then i keep on spending it on staves
ordos are actually such a bottleneck its insane
it depends on luck
like rolling for the exact stats u want?
and you can only fight him with dockets
oof
but generally you are buying 50 weapons to get one good oine
and then Hadron bricks it
which is like 500k dockets
so you have to go buy 50 more
and thats assuming hadron doesnt brick it yeah
I spent near 5 million yesterday on knives and got one 380
the most I've burned through at Brunts in one sitting was 1.3mil
and that one was bricked by hadron
same i think
if you arent going for 70+ in all important stats then its less grueling
5 million shouldnt take to long anyways to get back
but i am going for 70+
probably around 5 hours of pure playing.
^ 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.
I'm not sure how you're getting through a damnation in 12 minutes, let alone a damnation maelstrom
Speed zealots go zoom zoom
that'd require everyone being a speed zealot/veteran
Pretty much
magistrati moment
If your lucky you also can get a map with a skip or two.
yeah, the only map you're getting through in 12 minutes reliably is the fast assassination mission
Well mods let one replay maps over, over again anyways
mods don't change what maps are available
It would have to be some real bad luck to not get a single map that cant be speedrunned
you only get one non-auric maelstrom option at a time
Its all maelstroms within 24 hours.
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.
being the only person collecting all the mats would take longer than having everyone on the team picking up mats
True'
I usally dont care about mats too much but ordos
Ordos are the actual bottleneck by now.
but at least you wouldn't see players ping mats and then turn around and leave them there
god that irritates me
But having players does also make the run just faster aswell
I can complete a speedrun mission myself in like 15 to 16 minutes.
as long as they're better than bots
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.
well yeah
The best part is when everyone jumps off ledges like lemmings so that the front person can get past elevator sections

how does that work?
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.
right, but elevators require everyone to be in them
Ye which is why everyone kills themselves before the elevator sections
well that's a bit extreme
Nothing is extreme enough in the service of the god emperor
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.
sounds boring
Probably true :p
magistrati oubliete is actually pretty fun at the end in speedruns,
3 monstrocitys with traitor boss is something to witness.
that sounds fun
Accidentally blew up a poxburster on a zel, tho it was comedically timed then this happened so that kinda evens it out
Still kinda funny
of my curios, which ones would you guys end up using?
I really like running 1 stamina, I would keep using yours and work on making a better one.
I don't mind more money, in fact i really need it. but i suppose i could do better than a 3/4 roll on it
Yeah it's just nice to have 3 perfect rolls.
I put stamina regen and ordo dockets on all my psyker curios
I don't get point of stamina regen on psyker
i tried it
i just ended up missing gunner resist
Why not have both
i could see stam regen on a build w/o kinetic deflection but i p much always run it
yeah KD isnt hard to get
because i run hp and toughness perks by default
and will never take them off because they are too valuable
Toughness, sure. Pretty unconvinced that 7.5 health per perk is worth it
i got nothing better to replace it with
sniper resist? ehh. i get sniped maybe once, in 1 out of every 5 games
toughness regen? nah, psyker already has so much toughness generation shit
block efficiency? KD got me covered
corruption resist? HP does more for you
run ordo dockets binch
im not poor like you
why not build upon your existing wealth
i may be scratching at your ankles now
but soon i may stand higher than you can see
you are small, you will die small
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.
your complacency shall be the end of you
get crusher resist
funny, you were the one who died to crushers last time we played
yeah but i havent seen video proof of mankar getting bonked
FUCK
and it would be a less funny clip
dumb idiot stupid
arco? more like arcoLOW
he was brought low by the crusher
arco lol cow
what the hell
have this instead
i like i could hear your keyboard
lmao lol xd
deal with it
i didnt even complain damn

one time i was streaming in a vc and someone told me i type fast
idk why that reminded me of that
why would that make you angry
delete this
no

"WAOW."
i love the reaction
i really do say that
this is what hsword does to people
like, somewhat frequently
when i see something stupid
even if its me doing the stupid
i like how you didnt even get mad
but it's a singular clap
"I DROPPED THE SOAP i dropped the soap"
cringe (i also do this in exasperation)
i have no memory of this event
neither do i
my queen 
many games have been played since then
i have no idea where i got this from
and idk why i do it
you're stimming
maybe in like other videos
people clapping when they're laughing
you petulant child
i dont give a rat's dick about this video
the burster clip reminded me of this one https://streamable.com/aoztjm
boohoo i burstered you once
how many times have you burstered me
i was on many negative hours of sleep
why does dt make my mic sound so much fucking worse
it makes me sound like shit too
it makes you sound even more of a crackhead
KINETIC FLAYER SPOTTED
truly gives that "just did a line of coke" attitude to it
i remember that
it really does
i think that may be one of my most unhinged clips ever
I HATE HIM IM LETTING HIM DIE
