spam lmb then.
you haven't said anything that counters anything I've said, either
you can like surge, and that's perfectly fine
you can do well with it
Yeah I guess.
if you can't, then that's a you issue
Yeah.
and make no mistake - I absolutely loved the old surge staff
I want the new surge staff to be good
not just decent single-target
Maybe it's you issue you can't play new surge.
Molten beam staff for that big shiny laser of doom
I played old surge a lot too and new one is so much better with the current psyker kit.
Especially with warp charges creeping flames spam.
But alas.
every time I use surge now, I'm constantly thinking "I could be doing better in this situation with X"
and that's the fundamental problem with the current surge staff - it has no definitive niche
there's no situation where it shines over other combat options
I'd rather play surge than void.
And blaze trauma than purga.
whenever i use surge im thinking "why cant i reach that thing" or "why did i just explode"
you have a playstyle preference
and thankfully psyker is in a good enough spot that you can enjoy your playstyle and still be very effective in combat
I really, truly miss the old surge
it was a great staff
i agree with this and its why you converted me to blaze trauma
I switched from void to trauma on my try-hard build
because playing void feels just like playing plasma
No that's really bad.
and its ez mode
Please delete blaze trauma.
awww i was gonna farm a new one with more than 65 dmg lol
Blaze Trauma is life
that's not blaze trauma
you need a trauma staff with blazing spirit 3, warp nexus 4, +25% flak and +5% crit chance, with 78 blast radius
not yet
and what talents to makeit work
well true
I got it from melk but my current one is better.
Bought it for fun though cos I have 200k melk coins.
Using Mk5 duelling sword for fast movement and repositioning. More vulnerable to shooters without deflector but it's very comfy to kite monster and dodge muties.
Patch 1.2.22
Smelter Complex HL-17-36 · Strike · Damnation · Hi-Intensity Shock Troop Gauntlet (Hunting Grounds)
Loadout: Mk V Duelling Sword / Brain Rupture / Force Trauma Staff
00:00...
Build at the start.
ty
Not really fond of peril edging of the pure Blazing Trauma, so I'm using heretical Flurry + Blazing Spirit one
i just built the talent tree didnt do the rest
you can swap quietitude for empathic evasion or wildfire if you like
is creeping flames what makes it work
well, it makes it better
i wouldnt play without it
but stuff will die without you shrieking at it no problem
Would swap soulstealer instead. WIth mettle a crit will give you full toughness.
You can run bubble with it without problems
Mettle proc on per enemy.
yeah true
Quietude offers a way to always get toughness regen anywhere.
So it's good for solo clutch.
thats why i started putting quietitude on tbh, not being able to gen toughness when i absolutely need it without it was hurting me
its a good starting point though to tweak as you like
If you're based you don't need soulstealer.
With max resistance, charge speed, Flurry and Warp Charges a single proc of quietude can almost refund a full blast
Wildfire is too much damage increase. 
does blazing spirit not have a IV
i dont think its good
no
but i dont know what else is worth picking up honestly
i can grab 15 toughness or 5% TDR or 5% MS
i asked about this exactly the other day here actually
MS is neat, helps with repositioning
got the 1 floating point to spend from not having wildfire and ended up throwing it on EE because i couldnt really decide what to go for
Put it on wildfire 
i also figure when im lmb spamming gunner packs at range the EE might actually help, which is where i need it
no, thanks 😄
I casted a spell and mobs keep burning forever. Incredibly based talent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVUUzH_CZiY
why is that working?
and, is it actually doing any dmg?
like putting 1 stack onto the things
im ALSO sussy of your illisi there :L
right but like, is it doing anything?
putting 1 or 2 stacks of blaze on em?
My illisi is deflector slaughterer so it doesn't have blazing spirits.
when they will die to your illisi anyway?
fair and based take
It deals some decent damage on the basic stuff
i dont think 2 stacks of soulblaze being on a unit for 1 second before you cut it down
is "decent"
Also with 5 stacks slaughter, soulblaze benefit from that.
Maybe it reduces 1 extra attack required on a 3rd target cleave.
It still helps with overall horde clear speed.
i, too, like purging heretics with fire
If 1 horde chaff inflicted with that it's not that special, but if the whole horde is on fire that's where decent damage comes from
Pre 13 old school wildfire and blaze trauma. I was a pioneer. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR0N3VLXS50
Would be nice if we could see how much damage specific talents etc did after a mission. That's one of the things Outriders did very well
one of the few things
Outriders was a real dumpster fire on release
a real shame, even with a so-so story, there were a lot of neat ideas for the classes in place
and each class was unique
Players had a false expectation case really. Somethiung like Destiny or Promised (not real) Anthem was expected, while geame was declared as finite game experience withg somewgat repeatable endgame. So it was treated unfairly.
entirely wrong
only idiots expected Destiny
the majority of the community understood it wasn't a live service game
Well there was a hell of a lot of idiots then 🙂
that doesn't change the fact that tons of shit was broken on release
and the end-game was basically missing before Loot 2.0
I put a couple hundred hours into Outriders
I bought a finite game and i played a finite game and i was happy.
Only thing that pissed me off - brainded stupid re-balancing
When they broke build and classes just because some a-hole compained on forums
yep, that happened too
before Loot 2.0, the devs didn't really seem like they understood what their game was about
And overall in finished state with grand-finale - it was an enjoyable good game.
This feels like a pretty good staff, what perks do i want for it?
I definitely got my money's worth out of Outriders, though I didn't bother with the DLC
well damn, Steam says I played Outriders for 457.3 hours
DLC finished the story and left Cliffhanger (Abyss hanger really). 179 hours in my case
its great, especially for rending build
my personal choice would be flak and carapace
keep the blessings you have
Thanks, got maniac and flak at the moment
the other choice
for me my sword deals with mutants and other maniacs either already die in 1 hit or take 2 with or without the perk
flak and carapace deal with the two biggest danger groups you want trauma to deal with
with trauma, you have horde and general CC covered
meaning your melee can be focused on killing hard targets (ds4 or deimos)
10% on elites isn't as good as +carapace for ocrushers
I don't think 10% elites is going to hit a one-shot breakpoint for ragers
No but it probably hits it for shotgunners.
do you know of any?
gunners aren't a concern as you can knock them down with impunity
ragers are the ones you can fail to stagger
and with crushers, you're absolutely SOL if you're trying to knock them down while they're stagger immune
in abstract, +elites sounds like you'd be better off, but in gameplay, crushers are a bigger threat worth having a perk for
and given how much the AI director likes spawning entire clown cars worth of elites at once, gangs of shotgunners aren't a threat in the way a gang of crushers is
it's the crushers that end runs
My experience is that its always good to start chains of perilous combustion as early as possible.
Hitting a BP on shotgunners would do that.
you aren't wrong
but that begs the question of whether or not you're actually hitting that breakpoint with +elites
im also just gonna throw it out there
that taking + infested means you hit the 1shot breakpoint on pox and groaners
which you wont without
on LMB i mean
so maybe you could justify that, idk
with trauma, I only ever LMB to suppress ranged enemies while I close distance
or reposition
but then, I also run assail with trauma
and assail handles groups of ranged just fine
ah see i dont have assail
got a new ds, any suggestions?
change block efficiency to carapace
you could go shred
prefer rampage imo
shred, riposte, or precog
rampage is trash on DS...
cleave is usually the dump on DS4
lights do in the meatgrinder
and the moveset isn't conducive to hitting multiple targets
it's not why you bring a ds4
you can use it to fight back the horde, but it's really not a horde sword
lights also tickle even the most trash of units
This good? I haven't rerolled anything at all
very nice reene
super congrats
doesn't really seem like it
i would change gloryhunter for rending
"seem" and "this is a fact" are 2 diff things
Yeah I got that from mission with perks and gloryhunter rolled on it
I just upgreadded it for the second blessing \
Yeah lmfao
very unlikely
I'll take it
then you can change crucian if you like to something with a better crit chance l;ike surgical
so, i would go for hand cannon and surgical blessings and it will be a literal cannon
oh im blind sry
surgical is for zarona
yeah i thought it was zarona my b
Okay\
that's a damned fine revolver
hopefully you like the agripinaa cowboy six-shooter special
oh no
this will go real nice on a build with assail and a nice general purpose melee like an illisi, the revolver
that trauma is sus
Lmfao
with trauma, you want either flurry+rending or nexus+blazing
Nexus blazing I tried but it was kinda troll for damage it seemed
since that crit chance perk is locked in, you're better off turning it into nexus+blazing
its fucked anyway
yeah, you generally don't want crit chance perk on trauma
blaze trauma without flak is feelsbadman
what blessings did it have?
you were better off just selling it
before u changed them
It had dog
Like complete garbage
I forgor what it had since I had the staff for some time but like
well the difference between lvl 2 and lvl 4 nexus is 4% crit chance at max peril
its got the same problem
yeah, just reversed
Yea
those 2 blessings arent synergystic
What synergizes well with warp flurry?
I really like the warp flurry blessing
It makes crowd clearing cake
Rending Shockwave
[rending, flurry, +cara, + flak] or [blazing, nexus, +flak, 5% crit chance]
flurry+rending
Ok
the first one can work without one of the perks being correct but the blazing build needs all 4 of those things to be good and missing any one makes it perform poorly
having lvl 3 blessings instead of lvl 4 wont break either of them
So like this?
if that had cara and flak it would be great
Yeah
as it is it will be underwhelming, but the blessings like that are just fine
its the difference between 15% brittle and 20% brittle per fully charged shot
😄
Like it was too good to be lmfao
rending shockwave lies about how it applies brittleness and actually gives half the number stated, iirc
yeah, unyielding + flak on the gun, maniac and carapace on the sword
bring assail
assail all the trash
Yeah true
The build I tried following though pathed through smite instead of assail though
well, dont use that build 😄
So it could get the psykinetic's aura
Oh dang
Melee weapons work well for horde clear either way by this point with how much damage the build is stacking.
I spam scriers gaze whenever its off cooldown
It gives around a 70% uptime for either scriers gaze or its stacks during matches
around 40% for scriers gaze itself.
try this.
you press scriers whenever there is a group of elites
other than that just assail the trash
hmmm'
use assail to guarantee the DD stacks
and dont use all the ammo shooting trash
when you press SG warp ex is gonna give you constant toughness gen so you can go crazy
you will have a silly crit rate, and can use assail to guarantee a true aim proc
etc
Ok
i would pair it with the weapon combo above [columnus, +flak, + unyielding, dumdum, firefrenzy] + [DS4, uncanny, shred,carapace, maniac]
you can throw 2 assail darts and swap to the sword so they get uncanny strike
I'll have to mark this down and work towards the weapon stuff
I'll see what I'm running rn
It's ghetto asf
Good ?
Doable
So what ideally am I Swapping?
Crit hit damage to crit chance or unyielding
go unyielding
Unyielding would be more consistent right?
because of the way true aim and the crit chains on columnus works you wont benefit too much from crit chance
wheras unyielding will let you 2 mag a plogryn
so for now this would be the gun Im rocking
What about the sword?
i would pair it with a DS4 with maniac, carapace, uncanny strike and shred
or riposte is also very good
as long as you have uncanny
cleave damage is the dump on DS4
you will 1 hit mutants with headshots with the sword then, which covers one of your last remaining weaknesses
and crushers will also die extremely fast to it, which is your other weakness
so all bases covered
Ok
I'll need to work towards getting the sword going
I got shred and riposte on mine so far
flak/carapace though
Swap the flak to maniac
you need maniac carapace on the sword
for the 1 shot on mutants
you will be shooting flak targets with the gun
assailing trash
tidy, have fun
it will do for now
Ok
you want one with uncanny ideally but its great still
Okay I got something to work towards now
as i said, if you throw a couple of assail darts into the air and swap to the sword
the uncanny strike on the sword will apply to the darts
That's kinda nuts
sad
does warp resist do anything to both isili and deimos
No its good to have low warp res on deimos.
bricked right?
Good peril farming for toughness, damage bonuses.
no
I belive its the only weapon in the game to have a stat you want as low as possible.
but can never become a godroll
Illisi actually has some use of warp res as it actually uses special for damage.
ay I mean its still usable!
also not entirely sure, I would recommend asking voidstrike experts 
what i say when the 380 is 0/4 but still 550
I wouldn't bother using that void staff
its useless it makes the special attack give less peril it does have a high range but you're really not gonna do 8 special attacks back to back
bold of you to assume i won't
i actually had to do that once i queued up with a profane lasgun and no talent points
do yall think psionics or siphon is better
depends on what you want to do
if you're building around an ability that EP affects, try EP
im using lighting and ventign
if you aren't, generally WS, unless you're running gun psyker, then DD
are you using smite enough to want the empowered version over the benefit warp charges gives you
i would only do empowered smite as a fun challenge build tbh
caveat to every build ever
generally, when someone asks "what's better", they're not building for funsies
which is why "for funsies" isn't a serious consideration for seeking advice on a build
yeah
i use lighting 10x more then my weapons, its just so good at clearing hoards
in other words, there's only one build that seriously uses smite, and that's a soulblaze+smite build
ugh
the only reason you think smite is good at clearing hordes is because you haven't used any of the other horde clearing options psyker has
im pretty sure assail is faster at clear and cheaper peril wise
after a certain enemy density, purge becomes more efficient at horde clear
well my current build peril isnt too much of a deal as i can almost always get it back down by the time enemies are un staggered
trauma starts to shine at that same enemy density
this tells me you are absolutely using smite wrong
peril is never a deal ,smite just doesnt do damage
compared to the staves
or assail
or horde swords
literally any weapon that can deal with the horde will clear it faster than smite
i think smite has a purpose as cc in specific situations
absolutely
to stop a clown car gang from bum-rushing the team
smite is most effective when you stun and knock down groups of enemies
instead of making them dance funny for 20 seconds
lol which enemy is clown car gang
when the AI director spawns 4+ elites at once at you
and you see them all inside each other as they spread out and approach
happens regularly heresy+
I like to believe that fatshark as an employee that camps the accounts of everyone who posts here and spawns shit just to fuck with us
least schizophrenic darktide theory
nice thing about that is if you catch them fast enough, you can kill the entire group with a single void or trauma strike
we literally hear voices everytime we pick up a sword
You're right sibling
btw i know that the surge staff smite bug isnt worth running
but does it also activate EP?
if i stop slicing the voices get louder
surge staff smite bug was fixed two updates ago
patch 14 fixed the surge secondary interaction with smite upgrade nodes and EP
eh it was only like 40 damage and no stun
but it was glorious while it worked
hmm today i will 2-shot crushers
nah, surge staff was doing +125% damage with EP stacks
i meant without ep
and surge was getting a third target (though doing 25% damage to it)
yep, typical FartShack to not follow the logical consequence of implementing Smite as the surge secondary
but then, when the entirety of your game logic is in a non-OOD scripting language, it's really hard to find all possible code interactions
still dont know why people hate on smite, i almost always get top ranged damage
archivium sycorax solo farm
108925+whatever weapon value got from emperors in 11 minutes
they added solo queue?
Mods can cheat the system.
damn Id love to be able to use mods 😢
You want to join me?
im playing other stuff for the moment
i thought true solo didnt actually save your progress?
Its not hosted through solo
Its hosted through many more try
Players cannot join a code that has already expireed regardless if it is public or not.
ah i see
so, in theory
i could spam dreyko using it and no randoms would be put in my game, only those i invite?
Pretty much
So long as the code isnt on the board of the public players
Ex no hab dreyko maps with same modifers
awesome
Its honestly my prefered way of playing when not in vc
I dont particularly enjoy public matches
Does anyone want some mutant kebabs? 👀
Rather just do a high int damn, slowly move the mission forward at my own pace.
i had a lvl 44 in auric damn earlier who went down 7 times before we reached the first airlock
i got off and have cleaned my whole house, just came back now lol
frustrating experience to say the least
This was the worst ive seen so far
I lost a little bit of faith in humanity that day.
Damn, dude, how are you getting through that in 11 minutes by yourself

Theme Song: Gotta Go Fast
Performed by Norman J. Grossfeld and Russel...
he is running invis and killing 73 enemies 😄
sychorax you can do it
there is no "survive" sections except waiting for the scribe at the end
and you can just run a few laps of the play area while you wait
Ahhh, fair play
The only enemies that are really dying are ones that are either feeding me invis or specials that have to be dealt with.
This is the build btw
Actually i used ordos instead of toughness but i digress
or the ones the bots kill before they die
so like, 30-40 of that 73 is bot kills as well
Doubt they kill that many
they do kill the first lots of trash
then the first intense spawn happens and they die
Bots die really quickly as they get split up
They begin teleporting to the front zealot and splitting up.
Yar
well
Are FS gonna buff Tac Axes? I feel like they are very underwhelming for killing carapace armor
transfer peril isn’t the worst thing in the world
should I buy from melk?
for uncanny 4, sure
so you would throw it away?
but the sword itself isnt really worth using unless u have anything better
but I thought I only get the blessing for that sword
dmg is kinda important for high dmg weapons. Less so for fast firing low dmg stuff
ok
glorious
this one is not in any way bricked
huh
ig it could be 3/4
put flak and carapace on it and its an amazing staff
Hadron keeps bricking knives
flurry and transfer is one of the meta builds for void
the other being nexus and surge
what abt nexus and flurry?
not so good
crits alone are only so so on void without surge
but flurry transfer is good because the transfer allows you to just keep shooting forever provided you are hitting heads
and the flurry lets you do that quickly
nexus with surge is good because you shoot 2 shots every time you crit, making the crits worth it
i see
what is it youre trying for?
Lacerate + uncanny. unyielding, flak.
i cant personally find any reason to run a knife on psyker
I dont mind getting maniacs either instead of unyielding.
so my understanding is, lacerate is good because it means stuff still dies when you miss the weakspot, and allows you to kill bosses with the high bleed stacks + unyield
uncanny means you can actually do something vs armour with the knife
so if you dont go unyielding you wont get that, and killing ragers etc with a knife is both slow and unsafe. I gotta be honest though im not a knife lover so maybe i just dont understand something about it
It has to do with mutant BPS
Mutants are one of the enemys that get hit the most by knife attacks
faster kills on them is highly benefitical
Knife is a much faster weapon
personal preference i guess
Im not sure on the exact values on ds vs knife
but knife is defintely faster then ds4
yeah for sure but the DS4 has more dmg but sacrifices mobility
the 2 and 5 will still 2 hit a mutant
Ds5 is alright, but i dont think its quite as good.
and have pretty much the same mobility as knife
right and the DS5 is just higher except bleed stacks vs boss
Bosses are anyways the things that end runs for psykers.
yeah exactly so without unyielding the knife is a wutface
I mean… I usually just tank with kinetic deflection if it agros or just horde clear while teammates do boss stuff
I usally assume my teammates are dead
also this
and then
catachan swords are much better for soloing every boss that isnt BoN
i generally kite and apply brain pops/soulblaze
and knife wont help you vs BoN either
(i hate the snail trail)
but it leads to the happy place...
i like when the beast of nurgle dies :)
Huh? Like h1 with dc 4?
parry.
😄
parry just makes fighting Plogryn trivial and cspawn pretty damn ez
and no weapon will let you solo melee a BoN
Ive only used the mark 4, are the others good?
I discovered today that I like “reassuringly accurate” over “dum dum” on laspistol
Helped recover from 1v1s with gunners where they shot first
sounds good, though you ofc lose out on damage in other situations
if it works for you then its good
the Mk1 devils claw has 2 horizontal heavies, so is slightly better at horde clearing than the 4
but you dont get a high damage overhead so will struggle with elites
the 7 has the overhead heavy second, which i think is just bad
because if youre hitting overheads you want it to be accessible
The real dangerous boss is CS
well, catachan swords makes it relatively easy
dodge the second attack of the 3 chain combo, dodge back for the grab attack
no stress
parry every other attack
hmm today i will spam special at bosses and counterstrike them into oblivion
isn't it weird that the special power of that sword is that you remember how to parry and riposte
logically speaking there would be nothing stopping you from using that move with other swords
logically speaking there should at least be one single person on the mourningstar that can do one pull up
I just assume people need encouragement
not in the grimdark future of 40k
Like how is a psyker supposed to carry an ogryn up?
Its just the psyker saying encouraging words to the ogryn to get the ogryn to pull himself up.
they do have a line saying the ogryn is heavy but it would be funnier if they said YOULL GET RATIONS BACK ON THE SHIP or something
HELP HELP THE VOICES!
dont lose control sibling!
see, i dont know for a fact, but if i had to guess this is from a gay prono right?
well damn now im wondering how u get to that level of bliss
buzzing.... buzzing...
god its seemingly impossible to get specific breed callout without actually having a spawn enemy, which sucks. because my character yells BEEST OF NIARGLE so funny i would love that as much as vacuum capsool
I hear....the dead...
I'm stoked to have buzzing,buzzing working though
😱
nice!
next youtube series : Lua coding for fun and my beloved, with Skudie
Well
I can probably share how we get there
and it IS serverside
the issue is, the second there is more than one player, it gets put on a 3 minute reset
in solo or befoer people join, u can do it over and over, but the 3min time out explains why you dont always say something while venting
So the issue with it is, if you hit Buzzing Buzzing on the comm wheel like for the emperor, or keybound it starts that timeout as well, and applies to your normal venting as well, so it becomes a little pointless
I could definitely make a buzzing/voices VO mod that is only client side, kind of like the "Help" call out in for the emperor (your teammates dont hear that one) thats why i made a "Help or I'll fall" option instead on mine
its really funny if a seer psyker is with me when i yell it, because he will go "My sibling is Danglingggg" as an automatic response
lmao
is shred for dclaw worth picking up?
Reminds me of how you could force other characters to respond to your voice spam in L4D
It was insane how many unused voicelines there were in L4D2
Yeah
There's a TON of dialogue in that game that never got used
it's kind of absurd
A LOT specifically about boats iirc
And also the death screams
Love muh death screams
does wildfire do anything if Im running purg staff?
NV had screams spesifically set for being set on fire but they were so horrifying they got removed
or is not generally not worth it?
Spamming Louis' falling screams was a good way to get kicked from a lobby lmao
But yeah, Nick and Rochelle especially had a ton of cut lines that expanded on their characters iirc
speaking of falling screams
and falling
there's nothing quite like a silent burster exploding and knocking two people off a ledge
and neither character attempts to even grab the ledge
its what i run on dclaw on my zealot
ye i just picked up the blessing
ahh i see, so its basically overriding the server to tell it you are having a PoW when you arent, and theres a 3 min CD on the PoW voice line? thats interesting
is it shared across all the peril voice lines?
so "buzzing, buzzing" shares the cd with "such power" or "i cant control it"?
i wanted to se if i could get "such power" to trigger on smite
i dont mind the reparative lines on ults or kills or something 90% of the time im too focused to even notice them
correct
awwwww maaayyynneeee
it basically puts a timer on "combat-ability"
the dialogue lines tho can get a bit repetative since fucking everyone runs loose cannon vet
not me 🙂
and then contextually, combat-ability indexes venting
NOW WITCH YOU DONT HAPPEN TO BE ROOTING AROUND IN MY MIND HAVE YOU?
im the guy whos always crying about cadia
worth it just for the "FOR CREED!!" shout
The cadian vet has like 2 lines
its weird though, because the vet shout triggers a voice line every time
hes got loads actually
he just doesnt talk much
ptsd huh
and does like to favour a few of the lines
but ive heard some pretty great lore lines from him
vet has an entirely separate setup
this is with all our notes and stuff from making the vo callback
i love the triality of vets one is in love with psykers one hates them and one is just angry
but the reason why vet and then ogryn/zealot can - they dont have quell mechanic
its bc its directly tied to the ultimate
"triality"?
you know what i mean
like duality but with 3, duh 😄
if you are on ogryn or zealot, and under something thats forcing you to squat, it wont actually let you ult, but you can keep hitting the ultimate and yelling and yelling
very funny
oh now thats hawt
with bully voice
is it storing the "time since venting" variable client side?
(i learn OOP in c# a decade ago and never touched coding since go easy on me)
likely not
it's probably playing the sound client-side and waiting for the server to send back the ability activation
anything orange is my partner and i making notes lol
yeah i assumed orange was comments
its the other way, the event triggers the dialogue dialogue is on timer
so its sending the trigger of dialog each time, its just going off based on if available
okay i actually followed that
we were able to make the dialogue event/context however that is exactly when we ran into the timeout
ledge hanging? much simpler:
i can also get the player being thrown screams working, but its client side :/
all playing of audio should be client-side
i literally just want to run around being a freak talking to myself
to be "legal"
because inter-player dialog/conversations are sync'd, it makes sense for that to be triggered server-side
but thats not as fun
we want it to create the event, so it triggers on syncd players sides too
its kind of where the framework comes to play with the darktide local server
conceptually would be possible to write code to sync with a separate piece, and if you have that piece it triggers, but thats getting into the weeds,
so vacuum capsule lol
yeah, it's worth playing with, though those perks are unfortunate
Sadge
that may not be the staff to play with
should i do +crit to replace weakspot
hmm flak then
which means the best perk is +flak
but i cant do 2 perks
but you also want +flak
only one :(
that's why I said that staff isn't the one to play with
save your resources, strip nexus4 off, and try again
i need a guide for the brunt bossfight
"have a lot of dockets"
there you go.
don't upgrade anything that is lower than base modifiers of 360
and doesn't have favorable point distribution for the modifiers themselves
if you're chasing blessings, don't upgrade past blue unless you have a lot of spare resources
otherwise, you'll know by purple if it's worth upgrading to orange
check the Psyker Atheneum for meta builds
okay
and perk/blessing priorities for weapons
Pygex does a good job of keeping it up to date
it's safe to assume everybody does until that person tells you otherwise
assumptions are required for everything
they are not.
for soulblaze fun, do i replace cara with maniac or crit chance?
yeah, i plan on swapping executor with shred
problem with blazing spirit on Illisi is that you're going to be killing everything you're trying to soulblaze
unless it's those heafty maulers that surprise spawn out of thin air
i heard cara is useless with soulblaze, so would i swap it for flak or maniac?
flak
kk
does slaughterer iv exist? 🥺
ye i got it by accident
Nope, figurative of imagination
So damage dump stat? 
Yes, ideally <20% damage to maximize usage of blazing spirit
Actually? 
no wtf
i hope youre joking
i was joking
dont trust internet strangers like that

Play ogryn and piggy back psyker on the ogryns back.
Then have the psyker throw out warp fire with soulblaze
i would give up my keystone my blitz everything for this
Ogryn soulfire build op?
I was joking, but I wasn't sure if you continued my joke or not, I haven't played blaze illisi yet 
Phew
Now I want to try blaze trauma and blaze illisi for the memes
Which staff would be good to pair with blaze illisi? Surge?
chillin
power stim give a very solid 15 seconds of Scrier's Gaze w/o hitting a single enemy vs it's normal 12
In case you need gaze up for more time
keep in mind this is with -5% peril gen from the tree
honestly anything but purg is fine
If you want to play funny flame sword, might I suggest you take PC in the tree instead?
And replace BS with Uncanny for better results. Basically the same thing except way better
We need more force melees other than force sword tbh
I'm kinda tired for FS atm
yeah, but DS isn't a force weapon
As much fun as it is I am genuinely bored of our weapon choices, especially melee
Gimme force hammers and force rods. Hell if they really want to spoil us, give us Daemonhammers
Psyker hasnt gotten any new weapons tied to them in atleast 6 months if not more.
hey we got a shitty laspistol and revolver...
pretty much
Content drip on this game is so bad
Our options for non-unique additonal weapons are: 1 Chainsword, 1 Knife, 2 Shredders, 1 Laspistol, and 1 Revolver. So I'm hopeful.
They are running out of weapons to just make variants of for us
and one day, they'll make a staff variant
Ah yes, I can't wait for BIG fire staff and little fire staff
Psyker ice staff that freezes enemimes!! idc if there are already alternatives and probably wouldn't be practical i think it sounds cool :)
Ice abilities seem to be lacking in the psyker department though
As far as I'm aware, there are no ice related warp powers
although beam staff is definitely a thing
what melee is best at fighting a single target
Brouzouf may not be a trusted source
if they would go the variant way I could see the ice staff being part of purgs tree
just curious what difficulty u play on darkness
also i dont think smite is bad
but i think people are right when they say you shouldnt build around it
damnation
auric?
They seem to be playing their cardss very close to lore accuracy
Probably at the demand of Games Workshopp
honestly i believe any build can work in any difficulty if you do well enough anyways
if you enjoy it dont let anyone stop you
i despise the design of smite and how pub players use it, though i do think it's strong
but dont try to convince ppl about it if they disagree
I dont know my warhammer lore, I just want cool weapons that do cool things
i want a staff that shoots bullets
I agree, just thinking realistically
Dont spam smite unendlessly throughout the entire mission, as it is annoying for melee characters. It doesnt allow enemies to group up, instead the melee characters will slowly have to walk up to seperate horde enemies to clear them up. DPS wise this build also just sucks. Smite can barely kill groaners let alone any elites. So an endless spam smite user will tank their teams damage, while not contributing a whole lot themselves. Thereby the comment "Smite psyker dont contribute anything".
I think there could be a melee weapon that emulates the Iron Arm ability. Make a melee staff with an activation that turns your fists into metal
oof dual metal fists would be kinda sick ngl
For real. Imagine the psyker of all classes just duking it out with the heretics
but funny flame sword most fun with BS, PC, WF!
As of right now, we have Trauma (Shockwave), Surge (Smite, lol), Purge (Flame Breath), and Voidstrike (generic psybolt)
IMO we could get a iron arm, fire shield, mollten beam, and crush staves
obscurus is fun if u just really stick with it and get the flow, its just, wrong feeling for a while
I didn't downplay, just listed how they fit in canon
yeah it just feels awkward now that im so used to illisi/deimos
that do not require brainpower
Oh yeah VORTEX OF DOOM staff
is the electrical charge a joke in warhammer? like its not as strong? asking bc darktide is my intro to it
wdym?
with surge you had the lol, is it not actually canon to the lore
I said smite lol because we have Smite the blitz and Smite the staff
yeah they did make them different
i would definitely downplay psyker's staffs because of how boring they are
what does it do in lore
There are two entire cults of the Mechicum that are dedicated to eletricity specifically
it's the magic class and we get boring implementations of how the staffs could be
They arent boring you are just playing boring XD
Lethal bolts of bio-lightning leap from the psyker's fingertips, tearing their foes apart.
neat
They are called Electropriests and they are fucking metal
i mean i've tried my hand with them and I can certainly make them fun, but that doesn't take away from the fact that I have to actively go out of my way to make them fun
ah is that where we get gibbing from
i do kind of agree to some degree but at this point i dont think FS wants to makes weapons very complex unless we can expect more changes like crusher which im not counting on
Have you ever seen high voltage electric damage irl?
e.g., purg's RMB being absolutely braindead, trauma having a stupid amount of free boring CC, surge being a boring auto-aim single-target weapon, and i hate slow firing projectile weapons so voidstrike gets a low opinion from me
I think alot of the psyker kit, teaches alot of bad habits. It took me a while to shake some of the things once I learned other classes and came back
Electricity is pretty deadly. I've seen a guy touch a live wire and have his wrist explode
uhh no? that exists!?!?
i mean i also play the other classes and came back to psyker and still hated the staffs
Lol nope
i mean in general not u
I can if I have wool socks on
Things like deflector and such
true, i'm tempted to say that deflector should be removed so that it isn't a noob trap
yeah
yeah ive never liked deflectors design
Deflector is a noob trap, but it is not a bad blessing
dont catch bullets, DODGE/SLIDE THEM XD
fr
maybe if it was only T4
People just rely on it instead of positioning
so i'm fine with it existing
positioning is absolutely everything in darktide, power levels dont matter so much
i think ive been playing too agressive the past few days. it hasnt been detrimental to me or team, but i can feel when i'm not being patient
honestly i find aggro play to work better than more slow play, assuming everyone can play at the same pace
when i do slow play with pubs we just get caught up in shit
same
stuff builds up and whatnot
same
i just feel myself wanting to push faster than they can
aggro is fine as long as you aren't sprinting ahead and pulling every enemy on the map alone
so i like find a table to stand on and let them kill for a little
which is why being able to communicate with people is nice
nothing is more painful than a team who refuses to move on without killing every last specialist, which are spawning because you're taking too long to move on
where people just get caught fighting forever and you get overwhelmed after trying to do obj for 20 minutes
yep
it starts to feel like a rollercoaster sometimes and tunnel vision just happens
had a guy yell at me and my friend when we didn't stick around after the hack in Chasm Terminus to kill every last poxwalker, as he sat there killing trappers and dogs til one got him
yeah sometimes people i know arent on sadly
and i am in the mood to purge the heretics
but my ahead tends to be loops , i end up cleaning up the back and going back to the front or jsut find something to investigate nearby
skill issue, just chain them to their pcs
good idea
oof had an argument with a friend of mine because he wanted to kill everything before moving on...
arco its time
wtf
yes this happens so much
infinite horde mode when so that it teaches players to fight and move at the same time
the kicker was, we didn't realize we left him behind, cuz we were all next to the door in the next area and we just, y'know, went through it
this
thats what happens to smykers
smite psykers are the worst about it for sure
they will smite like 2 poxwalkers instead of moving up
we look back and they are still somewhere far behind just holding walkers in place
I've come to hate smykers more and more and I feel kinda bad about it sometimes
like bro you brought illisi
OR TRAUMA OR VOID
are there any benefits in killing everything? can u even kill anything or do only specialists spawn at some point?
had a smyker who was only using smite, I was playing ogryn
actually tanking my horde clear by refusing to let them group up
yeah they're vibing but unfortunately i must quietly seethe
didn't kill a single sniper or bomber, and we got pushed into a corner
yeah i never say anything
they are vibing it just makes so sense to me
i just treat smite like a skiwer purg and leave them alone in the back if they're smiting a pure horde
i just start treating them like my lil sibling i gotta look out for
we're not denying that it helps in those instances
we're complaining about smite psykers that are just doing it on groups of enemies where the quantity/density doesn't warrant it
i usualy look at blitzes as used in the same places for diff reasons alot
I feel bad, because smiting a horde on occasion to knock them down or give the team some breathing room is genuinely useful
if u have two poxwalkers, brain burst is a pointless option, just like smite
it's just the constant use that is awful
i feel like not enough smite psykers use smite to just stun them for a sec and then just knock them down and switch to their staff more i think
wait arco are you playing or just checking stuff
am playing
it should reallyt just be a quick stun, +10 damage hits, then destroy
may i invade
no i invaded first
ty
yeah i wish the RMB was a more interesting stun
smite and creeping flames is not bad for horde clear, but horde clear is easy to come by
yeah the LMB vs RMB is wack
lower range, shorter duration, and more limited than what we currently have
Imagine if smite was an instant AOE stun ability where a psyker could just press G on a cooldown and enemies in front of them get smited like a secondary ult
and pertaining to the fist melee psyker discussion above
i really want the LMB to be some lightning punch or something
I'd like to see smite have the ability to group enemies a bit
make smite a melee-themed blitz that you can swap to for some purpose in melee
not just knock them down where they stand, but towards the center
as someone whos never used smite, what is the diff between LMB and RMB on it?
in prior discussions, other people brought up stuff like smite dragging enemies forward or whatnot
less CCish
If smite would just slow the ennemies (and do something better in exchange) instead of locking down everything it would fix it a bit
but i do want a melee blitz
