I'm testing the quickdraw and unless a weakspot is inside the rather large reticle it does not get hit

I always thought the bullet had a random trajectory inside that reticle like counterstrike
spice veldt
as far as i remember from a playtester explaining it, the game just checks how close you shoot to a weakspot and decides if you're close enough for it to count as a hit

Same way that we adjust to uneven surface footing when running even if we make our balance adjustments after the fact that we get imbalanced.

i'd also take the visual spread of crosshairs with a grain of salt
if you're not using the mod that fixes it
lyric burrow
Crosshairs in this game are known for being not great
elder parrot
Yeah, it's a combination of that as well. But if it was only that, it would get jarring in the long run.
magic kayak
for the agri then yeah it has some spread
honestly... im testing it and maybe not haha
so I'll do some more testing but almost seems like if your crosshairs are around a weakspot its generally just going to hit it
elder parrot
It would create a player-experience of dissonance. Basically it would be conditioning them to not feel the satisfaction of lining up a shot visually, and nailing it. Which is a central element of FPS engagement psychology.
spice veldt
honestly... im testing it and maybe not haha
on the initial shot while standing still, the accuracy is this
magic kayak
is that a mod?
lyric burrow
Yeah theres a mod to fix crosshairs
spice veldt
crosshair remap for a different crosshair, and crosshairs fix to make the spread actually representative of what it is
spice veldt
yeah i am not quite a fan of the revolver's default hipfire crosshair

There's a reason for it :P
If they made it easier to spot the aim assist, it would feel less rewarding to nail a headshot

if you could run revolver and plasma that would be interesting haha
spice veldt
yeah, mostly just the stupid amount of cleave it has
lyric burrow
50 cleave 🙂
spice veldt
i'm fine with it existing on the RMB for some ammo/heat cost, but perhaps the LMB shouldn't have 50 cleave
magic kayak
Perhaps they'll add a blessing that attaches a revolver to your plasma gun
elder parrot
A small explosion would make sense. perhaps a point-of-impact AOE?

spice veldt
yeah, staff quell speed only affects the staff
blitzes and force swords have an unlisted quell speed stat of 50%
lethal dock
ahh ok that makes sense now, I figured if it was faster it wasn’t much because I couldnt tell any dif, my staff is 60 so not much more than the hidden stat.
I actually just counted the frames, staff takes ~1.75 seconds and blitz takes ~1.92 seconds to quell

Surge is better single-target I think and has less aiming quirks
It's point, shoot, refire
But yeah I don't use Surge much, it feels very unspectacular

surge is very easy to use
also cycles peril very fast so big toughness generation
rigid sky
I prefer toughnessx2 + stamina with Kinetic deflection, particularly if running deflector
But I die embarrassingly often on psyker so idk lol
My defensive strategy probably isn't one to emulate
orchid shadow
Surge is ridiculously easy to use due to it's targeting. You can start your surge, swing your camera 180 and it will find something to hit as long as the lightning is still on the screen. And while the lightning is still hitting that target, you can swing the camera back again and find your next target.
marble crater
Trauma for when you want to burn everything, surge for when you want to electrocute everything. I enjoy both for different reasons.

Your AoE is Smite for control and Creeping Flames Venting Shriek for clear

You can sit in it and rapid fire brain rupture all of the elite gunners before your bubble bursts from damage

That's the drawback for Surge for sure. Surge users can run Smite and Illisi and Shriek to cover the horde side and have to get used to constantly swapping. A very different play style than Trauma.
marble crater
Also always took bubble, but then I realized I used it as a panic button way too much. The other classes don't have bubble either so I used shriek instead and never went back 
cunning plinth
bubble felt giga useful but the more i played the more i felt that its actually more chill if i kill everything faster, instead of putting it down and being "safe"
rigid sky
Most of my builds use Shriek tbf
I just find bubble helps trauma more
Also variety lol
marble crater
Still warp charges with bubble though right?
rigid sky
Still warp charges with bubble though right?
I run EP with it because brain rupture
And because warp charges are expensive as hell
I don't take solidity unless forced and I try not to take peril resist and puppet master unless I have the spare points
That whole left leg of the tree is a point tax to reach warp charges for me
So my main 3 builds, 1 is EP and two are DD

Giving up mechanics for damage is a meta for sure, but building a strong foundation makes it irrelevant and pointless extra, prove me wrong 🙂

You can make talentless builds with grey weapons work fine on Auric

Toryism
mighty fractal
no reason not to take even at least the basic Warp Charges while you're down there
The only class that seriously considers keystoneless builds is vet, and that's because the keystones are deep into a talent tree that already taxes them quite a bit + there are are a lot of strong nodes leading up to the keystones themselves

That's what I'm wondering, psyker is one of the classes where I really don't feel like I have too few talent points and maybe ogryn.
On vet and zealot there are a lot of good nodes I can't take
rigid sky
Depends on the build really
If I want to take warp charges I have to start cutting into the bone
EP and DD builds tend to be kinder for taking more stuff for me
Ogryn is usually pretty free unless you are gun lugger imo
mighty fractal
Warp charges usually has to give up 1-2 points that I'd like to spend elsewhere
especially with Bubble, since Bubble costs one more point than maxing out Shriek
Usually those points I'd like to spend elsewhere are extra toughness, Empathic Evasion
...Wildfire
I guess
Still not a firm wildfire believer, so I'm okay with sacrificing that at least
Zealot is swimming in good nodes, so you never really feel like you're gimping yourself. Just that you're unable to take all the delicious survivability nodes
Vet is the only class where you legitimately feel starved for points
rigid sky
Gun lugger has to drop a lot of toughness nodes
Wildfire is strictly for Blaze trauma imo
marble crater
Extra toughness would be nice yes, but I'm weird and don't take it even when I have have the extra points, because I want to be equally tanky, or squishy, on all for consistency

I'd rather have Deflector on Illisi. If I'm close to anything that's going to n...
So Illisi is a weapon specifically for Surge, Void and Gun imo
One could argue that if you're having to melee at all, things are less than ideal
So I'd rather be as brutally efficient with it as possible
All of those weapons have great ways to deal with enemy ranged as it is, whether it be Assail or your own ranged weapon
My other staves tend to use Deimos or DS4
And they're both shit-hot as horde clear and more vulnerable to heavy bois breaking through
And vulnerable to regular ranged pressure
This is just how I see things
Disclaimer, I die on psyker far more than I should really lol
orchid shadow
Surge is practically the only one I use as I'm absolutely horrible at the other staves. My Surge / Illisi setup hasn't changed since Iliisi came out. I'm really hoping that we get a new staff to try out some time soon.

i always run bubble
and i tried blazing trauma and didnt enjoy it
the soulblaze didnt feel that impactful
now i tried rending and flurry and it feels a bit better
hollow current
Literal opposite to my experience :)
I have more bricked Trauma staves than anything I think and I stopped making them after patch 13 lol
rigid sky
the soulblaze didnt feel that impactful
Think of it as widening the killzone vs trash
Trauma's problem is that the damage is only significant in a narrow epicentre
If you put blazing on it, it will burn right to the edge of the stagger zone
little rapids
does it need +25% flak
rigid sky
does it need +25% flak
Probably
little rapids
i didnt have that on it (hadron moment)
i was wondering if it needed other sources of soulblaze like shriek too. but im not taking off my beloved bubble
rigid sky
I think with Crushers ignoring staggers after they recover from one, Rending might be a bit better atm
Trauma doesn't automatically ground them permanently these days
But Blaze is satisfying as fuck lol

warp flurry 1 hopefully wont feel too bad
flak maniac? flak unyielding? idk

Check the atheneum imo
I never know with perks and breakpoints
Too many variables to keep track of with the number of weapons I use
strong nova
is assail the best build ?
rigid sky
is assail the best build ?
No such thing as best
Pick the ranged you want, then make a build that complements it
Assail is probably the strongest blitz in isolation but it's a bit dumb
Brain Rupture is better targeted but slower and favours taking EP keystone more
Smite does Smite things
strong nova
i dont actually play psyker but the ones that run assail usually double my dmg and kill like 3x or 4x specialists and im usually top
feels absolutely broken build
rigid sky
Scoreboards don't tell the whole story
Assail is definitely very strong though
And relatively easy to do well with
near drift
I like smite on my surge voidstike with void siphon since it's already getting a lot of peril reduction
rigid sky
Lowest skill floor thing psyker has imo
lyric burrow
yeah assail is not particularly complex
strong nova
i dont see how any other build could compete. when you kill everything before its even near you what more do you need
orchid shadow
In the hands of someone who knows how to use it, yeah. But I the same can be said for most weapons.
lyric burrow
you kinda just
strong nova
they kill stuff theyre not even aiming out. its so ridiculous
lyric burrow
throw it at stuff and it dies
assail is busted ye
BR isnt awful but it doesnt compete
strong nova
and on the tough mission, when mad specialists or high shock guantlet, its insane. i cant even reload my wep fast enough and theyre still shredding
lyric burrow
i dont like smite but its not bad
near drift
Just don't do it on every horde instead of killing and it's fine
I keep it for the crusher/mauler/rager packs that get too close for comfort
rigid sky
Are you playing Damnation+ @strong nova ? I think it's probably overtuned below that

I only like assail on my gunker tbh

It's pretty fair on Damnation imo, the knives seem to have ADHD a little bit
Lock onto a sniper? Nah, let me nail that poxy boi instead
lyric burrow
i use it on most things but only cause i very rarely need BR
in my build

You can also cheat uncanny onto your assail

Brain burst basically requiring EP doesn't do it any favors
At least EP is cheapest on points
lyric burrow
BR does need some help
i dont think its bad
anti armor being so easy to come across doesnt help
with rending the way it is
like you can take deimos/duelling sword and you no longer need anti armor
or void
even trauma is p decent vs it
near drift
I use it on my purg build and it's good there but I don't see myself using it in any other case
lyric burrow
yeah
rigid sky
I like it with Trauma personally because it's a precision ranged attack
But I use bubble with trauma
It is really good with bubble and EP only imo
6s of free, fast-cast brain bursts
Good anti-ranged elites
lyric burrow
theres a lot of things going against it
it is good once it gets going
another one of its issue is assail RMB being essentially 90% of BR
minus the boss/cara damage
barring uncanny
rigid sky
It has to actually hit though
lyric burrow
unless something is REALLY far
lyric burrow
ive never really had issues with that personally
rigid sky
You can precook brain rupture, or you can get a tag on somebody for a fraction of a second

Yes, definitely
Changing the first blessing to something higher gives you a greater chance to hit a tier 4 as the weapon will be a higher rating
And you'll increase the chance of getting a blessing you want by adding one to the pool of good possibilities and removing one from the pool of bad possibilities
I'll often use this strategy when I'm rolling up weapons with God rolled stat modifiers
With the surge staff you literally go from a 20% chance to get the two blessings you want without reblessing (1 good remaining, 3 bad remaining) to FIFTY DAMN PERCENT (2 good remaining, 2 bad remaining).
upper sun
yeah i should have done that with one staff and its goof or removing the ONE BLESSING you never want to get

Better at killing trash, less great at killing tankier stuff
Which generally is not as useful for VS specifically

Surge is rated exactly where it should be lol

harsh urchin
Its at the top along with uncanny, rampage and surgical
wind spruce
Surge is rated exactly where it should be lol
It's not
It's overrated.
Half the time the surge orb is wasted
And every single time you don't have warp flurry up
Everyone just stans it because it's cool and refuse to actually think about the use cases properly
near drift
I get pretty good value on surge most of the time since I'm mostly trying to pick elites off with it alongside hordes and the surge shot usually guarantees the kill
Do I have spreadsheets and 50hrs hard evidence nah but I've liked it better than the nexus/flurry I had before
feral verge
surge not overrated
sometimes the big orb gets wasted. but not the small lmb projectile
you can one shot alot of things with the surge proc'd lmb
radiant frigate
perhaps i should run nexus/surge again
lyric burrow
surge is pretty absurd
anything hit by 2 surge orbs is pretty much dead and if its multiple targets your shooting at it just decimates the room
lunar hollow
nexus surge or a more standard flurry + w/e are both getting u more projectiles
lyric burrow
not like its hard to crit often on psyker either
lunar hollow
i run nexus surge because the dopamine of getting that crackhead crusher 1 shot with a crit headshot on my build every so often is really funny
lunar hollow
can't say it's overrated when im consistently getting top damage (by comical margins in most pubs, or more tame variants with competent premades)
although a grey void with good stats is still p insane on its own just cuz the voidstrike is broken atm
some funny discussions i see are about surge letting you have more freedom to semi-charge vs flurry and its like ur choosing which form of "more ball faster" u want
u can do a lotta things with the staff
wind spruce

That's just dumb. You can get absurd damage margins without it aswell
lunar hollow
yea but if your point is its "overrated" i don't think so in the slightest because im getting numbers like over 50% crit rate in some of the highest damage matches (granted pub teammates are oftentimes identical to paid actors letting you farm damage)
wind spruce
yea but if your point is its "overrated" i don't think so in the slightest becau...
It's overrated because the second projectile is often wasted, and you're still making the same point that a good outcome means not overrated
lunar hollow
not a "good" outcome, i mean the numbers im getting with it are good enough to warrant the general opinion of it
the effectiveness of the 2nd projectile also depends what you're shooting it at
wind spruce
You have to compare that outcome with having flurry instead. Have you done that?
lunar hollow
i don't think i can reasonably gauge the difference between the room flattener with faster ball output vs room flattener with gambling on big damage number for faster ball output
because the void is so insane i don't think it matters all that much
fwiw the general consensus i see is that either build will work
and is what i generally agree with
wind spruce
sometimes the big orb gets wasted. but not the small lmb projectile
This is the only good point anyone has made
wind spruce
fwiw the general consensus i see is that either build will work
This doesn't need to be said
lunar hollow
and again the effectiveness of the 2nd projectile depends on what breakpoints you reach and what's overkill on a particular staff
wind spruce
More often than not with void you do not need the surge proc to kill what you're pointing out. In all of those cases flurry would've saved you much needed time.
wind spruce

True

i wouldnt say flurry
i'd say lmb spam
lmb spam shotgunners and gunners
charged orb on crushers and reapers and bulwarks
or lines of gunners
surge + nexus has greater utility
because it can do everything
wind spruce
lmb spam shotgunners and gunners
Good point. I could be underutilisng lmb and that could be warping my perspective on how bad it is
lunar hollow
i think (may be wrong here because i haven't done a rigorous amount of BP testing outside crushers) for maulers generally surge is good too because i dont believe you can get 2k crit damage for carapace
surge is huge for the lmb too yeah
in a lot of cases where flurry would save me time i think i would just opt for left clicking
wind spruce
surge + nexus has greater utility
Faster charge is extremely good utility
feral verge
i've been saying it for awhile, lmb spam is underrated and underused
lunar hollow
one of the big things about surge/nexus is that you can get away with less-charged shots depending on the situation and target
radiant frigate
Faster charge is extremely good utility
half-charge instakills are also good utility
lunar hollow
which isn't as consistent as flurry but i find makes up for the difference a good bit
feral verge
Faster charge is extremely good utility
what i'm saying is, a surge nexus staff has great utility because it can do everthing. lone gunner? just lmb it once or twice in the head. crusher? just charge and orb or two at it's head
if you have flurry with no surge, then well its gonna take several orbs to kill the crusher
wind spruce
half-charge instakills are also good utility
Inconsistent half charge one shots are not as good utility as a consistent reduced charge
feral verge
no need for fast cast time of flurry if surge will just delete the target in one or two shots (whether its charged orb or lmb)
lunar hollow
i think a big thing here is whether or not you take true aim
radiant frigate
Inconsistent half charge one shots are not as good utility as a consistent reduc...

harsh urchin
Surge essentially says "your crits do 3x dmg"
No way anybody thinks that is overrated lol
lunar hollow
manstopper is infinite cleave on crit, flechette is bleed stacks on crit, scattershot is x% crit chance (up to 12% per stack at t4) stacking 5 times
the lawbringer's special gives you a huge spread that lets you abuse flechette or manstopper on hordes
harsh urchin
Afaik the base multiplier for crits is 1.5x on surge, so you double that for 2 balls
wind spruce
So that would be 2x damage. When you crit without surge you still get the damage increase lol
lyric burrow
imagine a world with infinite cleave assail shards
tf are you cooking
i just came back

And then a bunch of the time you aren't hitting anything with the surge ball
So it's less than 2x damage

harsh urchin

I think you need to redo your math lol
wind spruce
If you're not hitting anything that means the target is dead or you misaimed it
Yes. The target is dead already. So the surge proc isn't giving you as much damage as you're saying. That's my point.

Kinda depends, they're all scary in different situations
Netters by themselves are honestly not as bad as people make them out to be
it's when they're paired with flamers or crusher patrols (which is often in Auric) that they become the big horseshit, especially when they get embedded in crowds and can't be hit or their spawn noise gets drowned out by other sound cues
Psykers being Psykers, even taking one or two ticks of fire damage is enough to whittle the class down to the danger zone\
Poxbursters just accelerate the dying process massively for psykers because the class has almost no up-front damage reduction
