biggest thing I've noticed happens more often than not, is your left attack will reset and rebranch if the target you hit very first somehow moves further away than the next closest enemy to you
#psyker-class
fair spruce
hollow jolt
Just pray you don't get the aggro of a chaos spawn UwU
fair spruce
but, if you have that first target good and close to where he won't get swapped off
and you stay close renough on him you don't reset it yourself
you can then waft across the packs of enemies and tell the smite where to branch twoards
and essentially hit a group like a charge attack
you just need a target safely in front
you can also clickspam left attack on smite
hollow jolt
Ah yeah smite tracking is a bit messy but yeah it seems distance really messes with how it spreads
fair spruce
and as you say insta stun insta push everything up to maybe ragers
just click click click 2 to 4 smols on their ass a couple times a second
hollow jolt
and as you say insta stun insta push everything up to maybe ragers
I think ragers need a bit longer charge
Nothing like mutants though
hollow jolt
Lol
fair spruce
until I totally flubbed the dodge on one
and just panic screamed and lashed out with my smite
hollow jolt
The funny like 4 second duration requirement to stagger

Nowadays i would simply sleep
spice veldt
at least the homework that I have to do is relatively easy
as long as I just grind it out
lunar hollow
play darktide for 12 hours straight
lunar hollow
dont we all
spice veldt
play darktide for 12 hours straight
play duos and lose them all to stupid stuff
lunar hollow
im still mad about that
lyric burrow
I dont blame you
urban sandal
Make it so that you dont get stunned while you have toughness
expecting the game to follow the rules it sets in the tutorial?
why would it do that
spice veldt
smh smh
lunar hollow
we had just survived the dumbest 1 bomber almost killing us in a corner shit too
and then that fkin happened
lyric burrow
Sometimes bombers simply assassinate you
spice veldt
the horrors of being in a narrow corridor with a bomber
I got rumbled in a mission yesterday because of the fire covering an entire walkway
lyric burrow
It really do be like that
I love it when i think im fine getting away from one bomber and then 45 other bombs fly in and i get stuck on a single poxwalker and die
lunar hollow
im p sick of area denial enemies targeting downed players
you should be able to bait a bomber nade away from a downed player and then run to get him up if you're smart about it
but he can just go
lol no
lyric burrow
Yeah im getting a little sick of going down and 2 bombs fucking instantly explode at my body
And its like welp guess im dead
I dont mind having to fight through shit to get people up
lunar hollow
fire also shouldnt be able to ignore your toughness regain on revive
they fucking patched that feature in to stop you getting walloped by groaners if someone ressed you in a horde
lunar hollow
very cool gameplay
lyric burrow
Or spam E to keep the timer from running out
Im a little conflicted because i want to be punished for dying but infinite bombs on my downed body is just annoying
lunar hollow
the punishment for dying is you are no longer playing
auric skews too heavily towards "simply let them die" in high intensity situations because the specials will literally just cover everyone in flames
lyric burrow
Well i meant punished for going down
Like i want dont want people to be able to get me up too easily
lunar hollow
yea i mean u have to watch the wound curio ogryn struggle to melee shotgunners
which is the worst punishment known to man
lyric burrow
But yeah the special stuff can get annoying
Cause you just cant interact with jt
On one hand my bad for going down
On the other i probably got grabbed by a chaos spawn and a flamer showed up
hexed geyser
But sometimes you go down to such stupid stuff it doesn't feel fair at all
lunar hollow
cspawn grab into fire is a very strong reason to leave mission
it's so infuriating because the hitbox on it is still dumb
hexed geyser
Yeah that one is just stupid. Or mutie into sniper shot without ground time
hexed geyser
Can you dodge it or something like the nurgle? I never bothered to check.
lyric burrow
I mind it slightly less on muties
wet belfry
Can you dodge it or something like the nurgle? I never bothered to check.
You can but its heavyily tied to latency.
lunar hollow
i had a duo end to a 7k hp cspawn because a flamer spawned just in time for me to get grabbed
lyric burrow
Cause they are so non threatening and made of paper
lunar hollow
Can you dodge it or something like the nurgle? I never bothered to check.
dodgeslide to the right
hexed geyser
So what do you do to dodge?
lyric burrow
Dodge right
hexed geyser
Oh great i'll try that now
lunar hollow
the most important part of fighting a cspawn is to keep ur right open
wet belfry
Also dodging left of the arm is nearly sure to make the chaos spawn grab you even if you are out of the arms radius.
urban sandal
dodging left or backwards can work but it's inconsistent
lyric burrow
The arm comes way around
lunar hollow
you can dodge backwards down stairs
lyric burrow
So left can be really inconsistent
lunar hollow
if you can get underneath the hitbox proper like with an elevation change it works
wet belfry
I really think the grab also needs some actual audio
lyric burrow
I can react to it fine
wet belfry
Its hard to fight chaos spawns while also dealing with specials.
lyric burrow
But ive gotta be dealing with it
wet belfry
The boss is way to geared towards the camera being on it 24/7
urban sandal
if I have to fight 2 chaos spawns in a maelstrom solo it's gg
lyric burrow
Yeah cspawn is the one boss thats really difficult solo
wet belfry
Ive had to fight 3 of them at the same time as solo
lyric burrow
Cause you cant get him off you easily
wet belfry
Actually managed to kill two of them
lyric burrow
Unless you can nuke him
lunar hollow
back when monstrous specials would spawn full hp bosses i had to fight a bon and i think a cspawn at the end of chasm logistratum
that was some shit
wet belfry
Hope to god pretty much that you are a zealot
lyric burrow
Ogryn could do it
But bon would be annoying
Mobility would be felt while fighting cspawn at the Same time
urban sandal
problem is the other bosses still attack you while the chaos spawn is eating you
so you cant get grabbed
at all
lyric burrow
Yeah you just wouldn't be able to get grabbed
And back then cspawn grab would be even dumber
wet belfry
Specials, bosses, occasionaly gunners while attack players even while grabbed
Gunners i do not think is intended
lunar hollow
the big problem is that it doesnt make enemies cancel their animations
so ragers/gunners will do it still because they have p long animations for their attacks
lyric burrow
Flamers just need to put fire there to kill you too
Assuming nobody can free you quickly
Or people are just unaware you can make cspawn throw the grabbed player
lunar hollow
i had a psyker put up a wall and then surge a cspawn
just outside of the range
THANKS BRO
U HELPED
lunar hollow
the tutorial was made before the cspawn
torpid girder
What are psykers even supposed to rlly do against bosses
run and brain burst them?
torpid girder
A plogryn I can take but idk about chaos spawns or beasts of nurgle
wet belfry
Its not easy
wet belfry
Espically in a real match, where latency isnt perfect and nor is the terrain.
Psykanium is very much playing the boss fights in easy mode.
spice veldt
bonbon you can maybe melee if the opportunity presents itself, which is not too bad since you can easily dodge the spit if nothing else is bothering you
cspawn i usually just block and stay in place so that my teammates can melee it without having to chase it if it's aggroed onto me
and then i am sad if it's not aggroed me because i have to stab it in its body
lunar hollow
im pretty sure if you have reasonable ping bossfights are actually easier live if you're in 1v1
because of the lag compensation that isnt present in psykh
wet belfry
I dunno
lunar hollow
i know for instance snipers are noticeably worse atm on selfhosted lobbies
spice veldt
yeah the plague ogryn is so fucking annoying in the psykh
wet belfry
i win near every fight in the psykanium vs chaos spawns
spice veldt
it is so hard to dodge the underhand in the psykh
wet belfry
And i dont in real games
I dont get grabbed in psykanium
I always get grabbed in real games
wet belfry
The grab part does somewhat
Because its still the same movement from psykanium to real game.
lunar hollow
the lag compensation is super forgiving in dt besides hitreg
spice veldt
i can consistently dodge the grab if i'm close and dodge right
dodging left almost always gets me grabbed for whatever reason, even though i'm pretty sure they balanced the hitbox on it
lunar hollow
(unless you get something stupid like dodges being rolled back)
spice veldt
though it could be just that i have a tendency to hug its right
spice veldt
(unless you get something stupid like dodges being rolled back)
yeah would be pretty silly if you that happened to you
would never happen of course
lunar hollow
i am honored that the game has to go out of its way to kill me
im joining the greats (tinyangrycrab)

this is so sad

since launch
it used to be cooler when the obscurus was the only force sword since it was bugged to give 100% crit chance for 5 seconds and was not consumed on hit

I... feel like I've suffered a mandela effect...
spice veldt
it's a pretty rare blessing so that prob explains why you haven't seen it

What difficulty and map are you trying it on?
solid sparrow
It has to done on malice or higher
rigid kettle
which one is warp battery again? I couldnt find it in my list of completed
orchid shadow
It's harder on the lower difficulties due to less enemies and shorter engagements. And certain maps aren't really good for it, like Hab dreyko since there are 3 airlocks that stop combat.
orchid shadow

@rigid kettle this
rigid kettle
I do not remember if I have those pants or not, definitely dont remember doing that achievement but the only thing I have left in the psyker specific area is just complete missions
torpid girder
If it helps you don't need to have 300 secs in a row
it's just in the match
solid sparrow
Like I wish I could do solo game because too many people are too kill happy and keep taking out the specialists before I can
torpid girder
so u could just play like a damnation or auric and avoid using ur ult unless u have to

Farming escape hordes is a valid strategy as well

blehhhhhh multiple critical balls go BOOM

blah wah wah blah surge bad because crit on kills one person and cant kill bigur things with surge. this entire blessing is made with true aim in mind (if you ignore pre-rework but that never existed and is propaganda). if you MOVE your staff when you aim you quickly find out there's TWO projectiles that you can reliably use to remove TWO large lines of bullshit. surge works on lmb and lmb is furiously spammable. both projectiles can proc true aim

plus funny boom
sullen sphinx
Yea, I like Warp Flurry more, but launching two balls of doom is good
brazen warren
low charge time spam is better for surge(the blessing), because your rate of fire is higher. this also contriubutes to your outgoing suppression
left basin
besides, with quellcancel it becomes unfunny powerful if you don't spaz with your mouse
talking lmb
rigid kettle
plus seriously each one of the orbs being a crit means it procs any on crit effect twice, ntm they're both doing insano damage
rigid kettle

sewiously
rigid kettle
my beloved must not talk to them very much, its rather sad isnt it?
brazen warren
having the time to full charge is only for the first 2-3 opening shots of an engagement, but in the thick of it surge shines with its flexibility by allowing you more choice in mobility and fire pattern
not saying that you cant chad mode full charge in a melee to style on nurgle but its not as frequent
plucky flax
I think surge blessing is good for void 
limber silo
I tried talking to Tanner, but it seems he only takes critique after a few days of investigating himself
His argument is "Critting on void already let you oneshot almost everything," but his argument relies on full charging every single shot. Surge lets you oneshot stuff WITHOUT full charge.
And every argument he has boils down to "That's objectively a worse way to play so you're invalid." I like the guys videos for being pretty accurate and informative, he's just a little unreceptive to criticism unless it comes in large quantities
sullen sphinx
Well, he can his opinion and we can have ours, nothing wrong with that.
limber silo
My issue is he's mostly factual. He did not say anything wrong in his video, he just ignored other factors that are not as obvious at first glance
left basin
i liked his take about weakspots but only because i like spots that are weak
limber silo
Like him or hate him, Tanner Lindberg is one of the more accurate sources of Darktide knowledge
left basin
besides, he's ignoring the real problem of speaker-destroying crackle of old voidstrike not being present in the game
limber silo
I know, I miss the old KRACK-KABOOSH you used to get
sullen sphinx
Yea, gave it more impact
limber silo
the reason i exclusively sat on voidstrike before it was popular
Tbf tho, it was not accurate to it's power at the time
It used to be pretty weak, but now it's nutso strong
left basin
it still isn't. buff voidstrike pls
more voidstrike
and only give it to me
in my unbiased objective factual opinion voidstrike should one-shot daemonhosts and have the thrust blessing
to be fair everything in the game should have something that's named THRUST
sullen sphinx
in my unbiased objective factual opinion voidstrike should one-shot daemonhosts ...
"Wish granted, voidstrike one-shots daemonhosts, but everything else take half of original damage"

so surge is totally meta i get it
sullen sphinx
I prefer Trauma and mental damage it deals to elites
torpid girder
trauma is like voidstrike but instead of a line it's a really big circle
sullen sphinx
Trauma can be janky to aim, but it's really fun to use
limber silo
You have to kinda treat it like a grenade launcher and play with an arc in your aim
It's fun

but flurry would do nothing
limber silo
7.5-17.5% chance to use one of the very valuable blessing slots on your weapon doesn't seem like a good investment
sullen sphinx
Nah, for me, max charge Flurry staff can melt bulk of the horde by itself, and with 22.5% chance stuff that flies around will catch on fire so you don't need to do cleanup

Why would I take a 22% chance when i could take a 42% chance?
sullen sphinx
Why would I take a 22% chance when i could take a 42% chance?
Because I can fire 5 times instead of 3-4
limber silo
Because I can fire 5 times instead of 3-4
Yeah, but I can shoot way more by just quell cancelling
limber silo
i do run true aim surge blaze void
What does the blaze even do for you?
Most everything you hit with a crit is already dead, so...
radiant frigate
What does the blaze even do for you?
hard to say but other blessings wouldn't do anything
left basin
i wonder if they'll ever remove quellcancel LMG staves
left basin
mmm blaze
limber silo
hard to say but other blessings wouldn't do anything
Nexus would give you more surge procs
Flurry would get you more shots quicker
radiant frigate
Nexus would give you more surge procs
sure, if i used it as my main weapon
which i don't
limber silo
Oh yeah, true aim
sullen sphinx
True aim variant can be funny too
radiant frigate
may aswell make those crits as fat as possible
sullen sphinx
DS4 is quite good at charging it
limber silo
Anyone know how high the finesse is on void? Should I always got for headshots or does it not matter that much?
radiant frigate
on big targets i suppose
left basin
you should always go for headshots because headshots
radiant frigate
or just anything bigger than smallfry
gunners have a habit of surviving noncrits
plucky flax
i even got a metuh firetrauma because some of some propaganda
It's bad pls buff 
sullen sphinx
We need 300% blast radius increase
radiant frigate
500% cast time for 300% blast radius
sullen sphinx
Long cast but nukes the place
radiant frigate
like how brain burst should operate but for aoe
brain burst should just do Remaining Health in damage and adjust the cast time based on how much brain you have left to burst
but that sounds like hell to implement
sullen sphinx
Yea, also it'll make it hard to use against Monstrosities
spice veldt
i suppose just increment some value and continuously check if it's higher than the enemy's remaining hp
radiant frigate
give me 20 seconds unbothered and i will oneshot the boss 
spice veldt
only problem is the charge bar, though that's visual only
radiant frigate
sounds a little busted
sullen sphinx
Well, 20 seconds of casting uninterrupted can be a challenge
radiant frigate
but tbh that change isn't really needed (anymore)
spice veldt
i prob wouldn't have it be infinitely chargeable and would still have some limit
maybe to allow a meme playstyle where the psyker holds RMB the entire match
radiant frigate
in The Before Times where it wouldn't oneshot flamers/gunners after a certain difficulty it just felt awful
spice veldt
and just uses it only on daemonhosts and bosses
radiant frigate
"oh shit, daemonhost, give me a while so i can safwly dispose of it"
sullen sphinx
Maybe it would work with something like Banishment if they add it
spice veldt
at least flamers were brought low enough that you can just finish them off with a bolt
limber silo
The most reasonable thing in this game is exploding an ogryns brain and them still being fine
limber silo
Its not like they're using it
radiant frigate
what about tbe 2nd brain
sullen sphinx
what about tbe 2nd brain
Their stomach? Yea, we need to blast it as well
radiant frigate
or maybe ogryn brains are so big that you can only explode half at a time
rather than the whole thing
left basin
BRAIN BURST WITH TRAUMA BLESSING
radiant frigate
or perhaps they have really thick skulls that keep the brain together strongly enough to still function
sullen sphinx
BRAIN BURST WITH TRAUMA BLESSING
BRAIN BURST WITH BLAZING SPIRIT BLESSING
stable halo
or maybe ogryn brains are so big that you can only explode half at a time
Maybe they have a second brain in their tailbone cuz they're so big, like a Stegosaurus
left basin
i just realized that the newyears psyker skin has hallowette's facemask
radiant frigate
BRAIN BURST WITH BLAZING SPIRIT BLESSING
brain burst that sets your brain on fire (ogryn are still resistant to it)

There's two extra toughness nodes you can swap out if you're dying for quickshards, warp speed or whatever
radiant frigate
i don't want to be a naysayer but are you certain of the perilous combustion
asking because i saw this a few days ago
which i can only assume had perilous combustion as its only source of soulblaze
(voidstrike with... bubble i think?)
silent socket
rq what do I keep what do I toss
radiant frigate
toss the entire thing imo
upper sun
melee damage to flak and blazing to uncanny and its workable
rigid sky
i don't want to be a naysayer but are you certain of the perilous combustion
Imo yes.
The justification is this:
Perilous combustion gud.
It doesn't need more soulblaze synergy to be good.
rigid sky
rq what do I keep what do I toss
Blazing to Uncanny then see if you can onetap a mutant with H2. If you can't then crit damage to maniac, if you can then maybe Flak. Good sword imo.
Psyker single target weapons are primarily mutant murderers.
Lean into that.
BTW I might be mad but I advocate for mind in motion for gunker
You can keep mobility while quelling to time your SG damage burst better
I know, I know, bad QoL talent
But this is the one instance where it makes sense imo
elder glade
I guess it honestly depends on how you play your Gunker. If you have a good idea as to how you should quel then it wouldn't really do much for you, but some might find it useful.
Whenever I run Gunker I don't bother even running assail, preferring more time spent in SG as I don't have issues with ammo management to warrant assail
rigid sky
I'm assailing less for total ammo issues and more for magazine readiness issues
Also because I can't control how much ammo my team needs
If we have a surv vet etc
wind spruce
i don't want to be a naysayer but are you certain of the perilous combustion
It'll do 5-10% of your damage consistently
rigid sky
If we have 3 ogryn spamming ramblers everywhere
wind spruce
Decide for yourself whether that's worth a talent point.
rigid sky
PC is like having a Blaze trauma go off around the thing you just killed (minus the trauma part)
wind spruce
And minus the incredible range.
rigid sky
But when you look at how ranged elites often cluster up into tight little death balls
It really pays off
rigid sky
It's not a carry but it's a nice bit of extra powah yeah
wind spruce
Actually looking at a few scoreboards it's more like 2.5%-7.5%
rigid sky
Raw quantity of damage is not so useful a metric imo
wind spruce
wind spruce
Raw quantity of damage is not so useful a metric imo
Yeah, you're right
wind spruce
Because the raw quantity of damage would overestimate the usefulness of such a talent
So it's even less useful than what the numbers might suggest
rigid sky
PC is safe damage that tends to hit priority targets
wind spruce
No, it tends to hit low priority targets the most
rigid sky
Shooters are important
urban sandal
no coincidence that bruisers and shooters cause most player deaths
wind spruce
People neglect them
rigid sky
Also antishooter weapons are presently unfashionable
Zarona and plasma aren't the best for that job
CIAG holding the whole thing together pretty much
wind spruce
Even ciag is only mid in that regard
Mid in terms of weapon archetype not current power level
rigid sky
And that's why we go back to Assail being worth it for gunker.
Well one reason
Complex game, lots of factors.
Don't you just love how many people have this extreme opinion of like "ew gun psyker, go get a staff or play veteran"
Like, I get it pre 13
But gunker is such a weird lovely monster of a build now that plays nothing at all like veteran

it's so bad to even get to warp charges and then you have to drop 5 fucking points on it if you want to go all the way with it

think of all the toughness nodes you could take with that...
I must squeeze in any toughness node I can LOL

and fucking quell speed
and you will pretend to like it
all for warp charges that you no longer have proper control of like you did pre-13
that fuck off the moment you use your ult
(but being able to do rapid-recharging fire shrieks is very nice I will concede)
meanwhile the other keystones are gated by:
Warp Rider only (like you'd ever not take it)
mighty fractal
Coherency Radius is still pretty nice for Seer's Presence
Psyker probably needs it less than other classes for toughness regen since
well
rigid sky
and a 5% crit node (wtf), kinetic deflection (bit more niche but one of the best defensive nodes), and true aim (with assail or voidstrike it's crazy good)

Lack of updates, sure. Though these days, gaming habits involve jumping from one game to the next as the previous game begins to slow (but not completely stop) its constant patch cycle.

QP seems to favor the map that most recently spawned on the mission board

Lights Out puts me to sleep
I avoid it when possible
some people love it, good for them

If I'm gonna pick QP then I'm gonna limit myself to playing one of my builds with a flashlight just in case

which means filling the lobby will be slow because QP doesn't favor it
Which means bots get murdered, which means the next person will spawn in on one wound and go down/die, and then people leave because they know QP will probably throw them into another mission...
VT2 has the best of both worlds, where you can QP but also start your own lobbies or search for lobbies of maps you want to play. QP will toss players into your empty lobby, too!
And if you just left an unpleasant lobby, you can avoid it by justs checking the lobby menu
instead of being forced to hop back into QP while checking your Social tab to see if the game you just left filled or not, and hoping you don't get thrown back into the game with a lv 24 zealot trying to carry his lv15 psyker friend in HISTG

also no way to get reinforcements on Maelstrom mode in particular
what does that mean, as in no replacements for leavers?
