psyker-class

[lyric burrow]

uncanny is 100% bis

after that precog is very good, but shred/rampage/riposte are usable

duelling sword 4 is best but the other 2 are still good

[potent echo]

Maybe half as good but yea

[lyric burrow]

yeah 4 is kinda dumb

i like the 5 for the funny mobility

but 4s damage is a good bit better

40% more damage on heavies while also chaining easily

[untold niche]

i was going to say how come all your psyker weapons look like ogryn weaponms then i saw your name

[hollow current]

fucking hell, hab dreyko leaving me like

[cosmic sigil]

i must stay, i do not use staff usually but i kinda like the blaze trauma vibe

[mighty fractal]

Were we just in the same game

or did we both just have traumatic Dreyko experiences with Xbox players

Zealot is on 2 wounds
"Heals here"
Zealot ignores medstation
HELP PILGRIMS

wasn't able to capture the giant rager wave that immediately dropped on her

needless to say, the psyker and i were working our hardest to get out of the revive corner the entire time

[hollow current]

My game went well/smooth until the end event. It was just non stop specials and elites.

[mighty fractal]

Oh

our game was not smooth until the end

lol

This was a rare case of players actually being dead more than alive the entire mission

it finally ended when I got netted by a silent trapper

[hollow current]

I had some major bullshit at the bridge. four maulers came and vet and I killed them. Then four more spawn out the nearby door and body block us so I had to zip zoop around and just kite for a second before bolting for the valk.

[mighty fractal]

At least you made it out phew

the zealot inmy game intentionally aggro'd two hosts

(and died first both times)

[idle plover]

Investigation is really nasty mission

[mighty fractal]

It's all cramped spaces and tight hallways

[hollow current]

Oh early on I aggro'd the host at the drop.

But I just jumped on something and blocked for two minutes.

[mighty fractal]

it's probably my least-favorite mission until the finale

the finale is very fun to clutch

but some teams are just unclutchable

this was one of them

[idle plover]

I hate the last scanning area as the scan targets are really spread about and hordes come from all directions

[mighty fractal]

Sometimes the finale gives you the tiny little tumors that don't even look like objectives

[idle plover]

Then there is always bombers and gunners camping on ledge you came from

[mighty fractal]

or it makes you scan a briefcase on a crate

[hollow current]

It took us 7 minutes to get past the event.

[mighty fractal]

That's why it's the best event for Warp Battery 🙂

[idle plover]

Also ive found people really like to spread out during that mission

Which makes it all the worse

[mighty fractal]

That particular run was really stingy on meds, too

only one at every station, and only one medkit

[idle plover]

Its always tedious with one guy breaking off trying to scan distant obj and gets pounced by dog

[mighty fractal]

Not that it would have helped much at the end, but I maybe could have made riskier plays as og

[hollow current]

im gonna clip my great escape.

[idle plover]

You must title it that

The great escape

Featuring chuck norris

[mighty fractal]

I think this game was the closest I've come to typing "Why are you in mael" in chat

I normally don't get that urge

but I sincerely thought about it this time

since it was just me and the psyker duoing for most of the mission

[idle plover]

I really question some peoples builds

Like one zealot that had like 8 wounds so ita martyrdom zealot i figured

Spent over half the mission downed or dead

Dude probably had like no toughness whatsoever

[hollow current]

It's really weird.

[idle plover]

And kept catching gunner volleys

[mighty fractal]

Some people just don't have the game knowledge

or gamesense

that's just how it is

[hollow current]

It feels like a 50/50 on whether level 40-60 players are clearly noobs or good players on their alt chars.

[idle plover]

I definately am shitty on ogryn but i do well on vet and psyker

I have no clue how to build ogryn

I just stick to single tree

Full bonebreaker has been fine

[mighty fractal]

Full left side with FnP is pretty standard and works fine

[potent echo]

Full left side and a kickback and you eating good

[untold niche]

NOICE

[hollow current]

I was traumatized after the event and wanted to leave so badly.

[flint aspen]

scrier's gaze also works on melee?

I thought its only for gun

[hollow current]

I think it works for everything except brain burst probably.

You can have a lot of fun if you like melee.

[spring frost]

Anyone have a good psyker leveling build to share?

And what should i be aiming for when i reach level 30?

[elder glade]

That really depends on the build you are going for. An easy set up for psyker early on does involve grabbing Assail though and, for a lack of better words, spam it. It's good at long and close range and can compensate for not having the best of rolls or the talents you want/need. This is a setup you can do early on, not necessary by any means.

[spring frost]

I have been keeping my eyes on Assail and have played a few missions with other psykers using it. Seems like a solid choice

[flint aspen]

is there any reason for a psyker to take the dual front shield over to the 360 bubble shield

[plucky flax]

It stops specials better.

[glacial nest]

It makes you feel like Baptiste from Overwatch

[stray bloom]

bruh what are the fuckin ice crystals i keep seeing psykers use

[quartz barn]

Wall shield is pretty solid if youre not that good at dealing with specials/elites

Or on higher diffs when facing mutant waves etc

[stray bloom]

that bounce and shit

[quartz barn]

Aside from that bubble is just better for general use

[quartz barn]

Assail

[stray bloom]

uh huh

good?

i have know idea how to build psyker

clueless

[radiant frigate]

unfortunate that fem savant doesn't have new lines for scrier's gaze

male savant scrier's lines are great

[hollow current]

I've heard people talk about that. New voicelines would be great but tbh I don't notice most the time.

"Initiating crowd control" wasn't the worst line to hear considering she took out those maulers while juiced with 5 buffs.

[cosmic sigil]

hmmmm

this looks like it has potential, what perks blessing work with axes?

[potent echo]

Poxwalker, hounds, poxbursters

[austere crest]

Here this helps https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PtPcw4m4YtO_IcEkFlJJOBVWCYDEIeCKJRYLT4SmLc0/htmlview

[paper loom]

ah lame so infested is pox bursters lol

[austere crest]

yeah

ideally unyielding or flak are king of the pack, as well as maniac and carapace being great choices

[upper sun]

you're gonna have to post your playlist at some point you know

[rigid sky]

Unarmoured affects a lot of stuff too

But not so useful on a caxe I think?

[stuck sinew]

Isn't caxe like the one weapon people like it on? Something something bruiser one shot or something

[rigid sky]

Ah lol

Not the only one I think

Slab shield too

[radiant frigate]

ogryn weapons 💀

[upper sun]

ye shield knocks everything down but clear is a bit rough

flak unarmored would be nice on it

[mighty fractal]

Shield clear is good, but you need the bleed talent

Since its main niches are

1. Staggering literally everything that isn't a boss
2. Applying heavy bleed to lots of chaff enemies at once

It can keep armored elites locked down for basically as long as you're able to keep chaining Heavy 1, but it won't kill them quickly unless you have Dominate active

Ogryn's great tragedy is that he really only has five melee weapons

and half of them are literal hunks of junk

He doesn't have a whole lot that plays into his fantasy of big bruiser man on the melee front

[rigid sky]

Most ogryn weapons are good performers at least

But they do look like shit lol

The clobbs are very Ogryn

[grizzled bronze]

in the steam guide for psykers that is pinned here, it says that you can go over 100% on perilous and depending on the source of the overage, you can quell down before exploding. I feel like either I missed the part where it defined which sources can go over 100% and be quelled, and which cannot. Any advice there?

[spice veldt]

if you're just holding the channeling on your staff/brainburst/smite/etc. at 100% peril, then you won't explode
but if you finish the cast or activate your force sword, then that'll make you explode

[grizzled bronze]

thank you

[icy harbor]

is there a useful build for a melee psyker build around the blazing spirit perk?

[rigid sky]

Nope lol

Blazing spirit isn't very good on melee

[icy harbor]

I wish, love that perk

[rigid sky]

It is mostly a Trauma staff thing

[icy harbor]

I just like setting things on fire

[rigid sky]

You can do some meme stuff with it on an Illisi with Bloodthirsty and Wildfire I guess

[icy harbor]

wildfire?

[rigid sky]

Psyker talent, not very good usually

Trouble is if you crit with a force sword the target is probably dead

But wildfire might mean it propagates out from them?

[icy harbor]

thats what I thought

[rigid sky]

If you like fire, make a blazing spirit / warp nexus trauma staff

that is strong as fuck

But if you want the memes stuff, probably take the Illisi for it and take Wildfire, but then build the rest of your stuff around whatever ranged weapon you take

[icy harbor]

I thought blazing spirit is is for meleeß

[rigid sky]

Psyker builds are all 100% dependent on your ranged

[rigid sky]

Also for Trauma staff :)

The trauma staff version of it is arguably one of the strongest Psyker builds

[icy harbor]

interesting

any build recommended around that?

[rigid sky]

Only exists as a rank 3 (for 3 stacks of Soulblaze, capping at 6) but it applies to everything that even gets tickled by it

[rigid sky]

There's a bunch of options really

I can't log on for a week to show you my build sadly

But I'm sure one of the incomparable minds in this server can show you theirs

Mine is brain rupture, crit aura, bubble shield and enhanced psykinetics, with a Deflector/Uncanny force sword personally

[icy harbor]

ok

[rigid sky]

I think the Venting Shriek with Creeping Flames variant is more popular

You can do any of the blitzes with it really, and you can go warp charges too

[icy harbor]

ok

I'll check it out

[rigid sky]

Deimos force sword specifically

Enjoy:) bit of a high skill floor to it and the staff is hard to build but once you have it it's addictive

[minor pelican]

As i am the dum Dum gimme gum gum. Warp rider is an increase of 20% percent applied to you or appied to everything you hit

[vestal fulcrum]

A thing to keep in mind: no skill ever debuffs the player directly

So the answer is: the latter, it buffs your damage output

[dim parrot]

goated movie

strong poke, but illisi is more fun imo

[rigid sky]

Totally different niches imo

Illisi is a horde killer that pairs with stuff like guns, Surge and Voidstrike

Duelling Sword really competes more with Deimos

Duelling Sword IV is the good one

Controversial opinion alert, the Deimos kinda doesn't have a point compared with the DS4 unless you take Deflector on it, I feel like the DS4 just does all the same things but faster

But that said I fucking love a deflector Deimos

[quartz barn]

ds i fun because speed

[icy harbor]

can you make this sword into a useful one?

[quartz barn]

also ngl once you know how to dodge properly you just wont need deflector

crutch perk tbh

[near drift]

Yeah but then I can't just walk menacingly at a gunner while it's shooting to no effect from across a big space

https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-28-2015/6_gfeW.gif

[robust badger]

Supreme crusher/mauler killer

Also good at picking apart rager crowds and getting midair dog kills

[ionic needle]

You're going melee into rager crowds? Brave.

[near drift]

Dueling sword poke has the range and movement where you can pretty confidently poke em to death between their swings and get out of range, it's very nice

Doing it while there's like 5+ on you is another thing but I'd say 2 to 3 aggro'd on you is manageable

[rigid sky]

It helps if you get caught out against multiple gunners more imo

[radiant frigate]

uncanny and carapace are good

swap the rest to preference and you're golden

[rigid sky]

Imo a big part of the challenge is in managing your mental load

Block is the smallest braintime defensive move

Lets you put attention into other areas

You have to work with the INCOMPARABLE MIND that you have

[spice veldt]

quickplay has put me into 4 different hunting ground missions in a row

god damnit

[sinful tusk]

Dont you love dogs?

[rigid sky]

Assail says lol, lmao even

[robust badger]

I can't beat the shit out of them without getting closer

[rigid sky]

Smite would also like to agree, especially with the lmao part.

[radiant frigate]

haven't seen hunting grounds in forever

[robust badger]

It's also good for just escaping crowds unscathed if you're stuck in a bad spot

Hold down right click, start dodge dancing away & shove if something gets in your way

[rigid sky]

Yeah, sometimes you get stuck just having to push your way

[radiant frigate]

i like that

[rigid sky]

You can't dodge everything if you're under too much pressure

[robust badger]

I see too many going down just because they try DPS their way out and then end up getting poked to death by the moshpit

[rigid sky]

Psyker cannot afford to take a melee hit at less than full toughness

[robust badger]

If you're completely surrounded you can't dodge period

[rigid sky]

And a lot of Psyker weapons are close/mid range

So it's easy to fuck up and get surrounded

[robust badger]

When it comes to crowds though, I've defaulted to the purgatus staff with a crit build. I genuinely don't think there's a faster lawnmower in the game

Except for the ogryn bomb

[radiant frigate]

flaming shriek

[rigid sky]

Creeping Flames

[radiant frigate]

Real

[rigid sky]

All the joy of a Purgatus

But you can take another ranged with it

[radiant frigate]

does purgatus have joy

[robust badger]

I take shield to help the team not get shot to death by gunners

[rigid sky]

Illisi/voidstrike/assail/shriek/DD is awesome

[rigid sky]

With Trauma I like that

[radiant frigate]

yell at them to make them die (this prevents them from shooting your team)

[robust badger]

Watch the dot around your crosshair turn into a constant, uninterrupted red hitmarker of kills

And feel the neurons fire in your brain

[upper sun]

no just eye damage

that shit is beyound painful to use

[radiant frigate]

unfortunately purgatus is too creeping for me to enjoy, plus it operates squarely within illisi range

so i just prefer to generously apply sword

[robust badger]

There is a mod to turn down the intensity of the fire, although I'm not sure if you're allowed to discuss mods on here

[upper sun]

nah it does have "ok range"

[radiant frigate]

Perhaps

[upper sun]

you can talk about mods ofc but I cant use them since i stream the game 😢

[radiant frigate]

either way, legs

[upper sun]

cant even get blue light glasses because i already wear glasses 😭

[robust badger]

I would like to take the Illisi for a spin. Ever since I saw the soulflame blessing, it immediately jumped to mind that it could be a replacement for the purgatus

When I get sick of using it, that is

[rigid sky]

Slaughterer/Bloodthirsty is fun with it

[radiant frigate]

i was thinking it would be funny if paired with bloodthirsty and wildfire (but unfortunately wildfire is false advertising)

[radiant frigate]

much prefer uncanny

(with slaughterer)

[robust badger]

Wildfire doesn't work?

News to me

[radiant frigate]

it doesn't work the way you would think

[robust badger]

Classic

I'm fairly sure 60% of the talent tree doesn't work the way people would think. A product of Fatshark's wonderfully ambiguous wording

[upper sun]

I have an illisi with blazing spirit and shred and tbh its not that good

[eager mantle]

Wildfire adds a 4 soulblaze debuff and ONLY a 4 soulblaze debuff. If an enemy in the aoe have 4 or more soulblaze already, it does nothing

[upper sun]

id much rather use slaughter+uncanny/deflector

[radiant frigate]

how it looks: "spreads up to 4 stacks of soulblaze if something dies with soulblaze"
how i interpreted this: "perilous combustion but checks for stack amount on dying enemy rather than elite/special status"
how it works: spreads the stacks the dying enemy had to others around, up to a maximum of 4, and never stacks it beyond 4

[robust badger]

That's a shame. That's pretty much exactly what I want to run

[dim parrot]

slaughterer/uncanny illisi my beloved

[radiant frigate]

and 4 stacks of soulblaze is tickle territory

slaughterer/uncanny illisi my beloved

[dim parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/predator-arnold-schwarzenegger-hand-shake-arms-gif-3468629

[upper sun]

tfw bricked a total of 20 force swords but still no slaughterer 4 or deflector 4

[robust badger]

Maybe I'll swap out wildfire for something else then. I've pretty much entirely ignored keystones because of the way I play, so I could put it into a survivability talent

[rigid sky]

It is literally only for Blaze Trauma imo

[radiant frigate]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/295647670712795137/999072530788790343/ezgif-5-da381ad19d.gif

[upper sun]

I have one with uncanny t4 thats just BEGGING to get slaughterer

[dim parrot]

I feel with u sibling, for me it was uncanny 4

[rigid sky]

Keystones are awesome lmao

[radiant frigate]

i still do not have uncanny 4

fortunately uncanny 3 does just fine

[upper sun]

If i dont get anything good from melk this week im blowing 10k on mystery aqu

[radiant frigate]

also don't have bloodthirsty

[robust badger]

I was using warp charges for a good while, but I was constantly wiping out the benefits I got from it because I spam place shields as psyker

[dim parrot]

wait

[rigid sky]

EP is cheap enough

[dim parrot]

dont do it

[rigid sky]

Imo warp charges are too expensive

[robust badger]

(mainly because people spend 50% of a mission getting chewed to pieces by gunners)

[dim parrot]

only gamble with melks shop

[rigid sky]

I like the other two more but DD needs a particular build

[radiant frigate]

getting warp charges would require me to free up like 10 talent points

(lmao)

[upper sun]

I have 400 hours in this game I have only gotten ONE useful blessing from melk

[robust badger]

They are, and they come back too slowly.

[rigid sky]

If I run bubble I tend to go EP with Brain Rupture

[robust badger]

Making the full benefit from them would require NOT using shield

[dim parrot]

keep trying sibling

[radiant frigate]

i have completely stopped running bubble

after the flamer adjustment

[robust badger]

Try running the 2x directional with the bounce specials talent

[rigid sky]

They have a lower minimum duration

[upper sun]

i remember the horrors of prefix flamer

[rigid sky]

Like 4.5s

Bubble is 6s

[upper sun]

one flamer could wipe out an entire team in 2 seconds

[robust badger]

It's insanely good in maelstroms. Put 2x down in a doorway and sit back with popcorn as your team mows down the wave of mutants you just dropped the portcullis on

Dogs seem to be able to run through them sometimes, though. Why? Who knows

[radiant frigate]

i love having all my toughness nuked in 0.1s!!!

speaking of

siblings who don't build for toughness, why, and how?

[robust badger]

Good dodges and shields pretty much nullify my need for toughness

I went max health instead

[upper sun]

I love having my toughness deleted from two basic mob hits

[robust badger]

Also this

Say goodbye to 40HP too, if you took a mob hit in anything under max toughness

[dim parrot]

ah yes the 2 basic mobs, my arch nemesis

[robust badger]

So I found it better to just build for HP. I play Psyker a little like shield gating from Payday 2

[radiant frigate]

not too fond of Random Prick With Autogun

[robust badger]

I genuinely find them more dangerous than gunnerpacks

[dim parrot]

definitely, they combined with poxburster are dangerous

[robust badger]

I've walked into a room into an instant down at one point, because 30 scab shooters all volley fired me at the same time

No damage resist to them 💢

[supple sedge]

Why psyker always near Ulgo? Is it because they want Ulgo to protec them?

[sullen sphinx]

Big muscles of Ulgo protects psyker while big mind of psyker blasts heretics away, perfect harmony

[agile geode]

Was wondering, for the private game penance, to deal 90% damage to a monstrosity using brain burst.
Is it only the big ones, or does the "weakened" versions count for this penance?

[lyric burrow]

@spice veldt i have finally made an obscurus

[supple sedge]

Oohhh. Make sense

[lyric burrow]

it is time for the return of patch uh

pre illisi psyker

[spice veldt]

time to go obscurus all over the enemies

[lyric burrow]

Yes

[upper sun]

fine by me I have 2 at 380 that i never rolled after seeing the animations

[hollow current]

haha, its a mixture of stuff ive saved and whatever youtube autoplays.

[upper sun]

I've been thinking about making the most out of place playlist for darktide your stuff always seems to fit what i wanna do

[feral verge]

@spice veldt

[rigid sky]

Like what is Obscurus even supposed to be now

It's marketed as the hybrid between Deimos and Illisi but it's not

It's a shit Deimos

That's all

[upper sun]

i love melee weapons with a low damage single target attack must have in every build

[spice veldt]

what

[rigid sky]

I used to use it just to charge it up and then stick it up a mutant's nose

Deimos is so much better for that (doesn't even need to be charged up in like 95% of matches)

[hollow current]

If you can link the clips with the ones you want I should be able to find most of them.

[upper sun]

woah i totally did not download your clips to search up the songs later that would be weird

one is "METRIC - Lost Kitten" btw

[hollow current]

Oh yeah, Lost Kitten is sweet.

[upper sun]

it was also in hot drop nice song

[hollow current]

the second half

This is from the same mission. The clip start and stop exactly from one another.

[silent coral]

How impactful is one with the warp? im using surge staff and i cant decide if i should go for 5% crit aura or 10% CD aura just so that i can get one with the warp

[upper sun]

saved my ass from a couple of busters if you're a master peril edger id say its very good

[nimble burrow]

when your weekly contracts roll all melee kills

[robust badger]

Jack Stauber - Buttercup

[hollow current]

oh shit, nice find.

[robust badger]

Ah I only recognised the song, didn't have to go digging for it or anything

[upper sun]

oh yeah thats good

[rotund fable]

This is less of a Void-strike and more of a Void-poke staff...

mission rewards are kinda dissapointing sometimes

[hollow current]

sometimes?

[robust badger]

What's more insulting is every other stat is 70+

[rotund fable]

That is the reason i decided to show it off, yes.

[radiant frigate]

voidslap

[halcyon gust]

98% of the time it's free money. 1% it is something actually usable and the other 1% of time has that 1 blessing you been trying to get from Hadron and Melk

[rigid sky]

You gotta run higher difficulty, get some purps and oranges

Get some actual blessings to rip

[idle marten]

salvageable?

[upper sun]

nope

you want damage then first target then everything else

[radiant frigate]

as the italians say

garbaggio 🤌🏻

[upper sun]

you want something like this uncanny slaughterer is great

i wanna get slaughterer deflector tho

executioner is like uncanny's little stupid cousin

[lyric burrow]

yeah id vouch for uncanny slaught

[upper sun]

illisis are really easy to roll imo tho

like getting executioner and being locked to it inst as bad as with staves when you crap like barrage or uhhh the 4th and 5th rapid fire thing

[lyric burrow]

mine was a pain to make back when you wanted unstable + slaught

took me over a million dockets and like 12k plasteel

which isnt the worst

but it was the first thing i tried for perfect on

[upper sun]

for some fucking reason every single illisi i rolled was good-great and every deimos was trash

[lyric burrow]

deimos was the same as rolling illisi for me lol

both were a pain

duelling sword as easy enough

[upper sun]

I only tried 3

[radiant frigate]

i have a really defensive deimos

1.5 stam 15% block efficiency

uncanny slaughterer

rarely sees the light of day

[rigid sky]

Tbh uncanny/deflector with damage perks is a more defensive Deimos

[radiant frigate]

i do not believe in deflector

but i could put deflector on it

[idle marten]

had a feeling it was trash

oooof

[radiant frigate]

unfortunately yes

[upper sun]

deflector is great as long as you remember to use it

[untold niche]

this sounds like average cost for god rolls
so sad.
Mine took slightly less plasteel, 8k to 10k

[upper sun]

i raise you the go fast illisi of fire

[lyric burrow]

i didnt even get a god roll really

was close though

[untold niche]

i only remember to use it when i see 12 gunners with no cover or DH procs

[upper sun]

same

[untold niche]

that quite sad.
1mil dock and 12k plasteel

usually i let them break toughness and then the RNG bless me that the random shot somehow still hits them

i am very blessed by Beloved

[upper sun]

melk should sell 380 rating blanks instead of garbage with random blessings

[untold niche]

^

i was thinking they should let you use plasteel to wipe an item clean of blessings to reset

[upper sun]

they should just scrap the mod locks

[untold niche]

At least for curio

[lyric burrow]

it really do be like that

[untold niche]

There's a point for it like I'm sure you know.

A quater of my playtime was grind with no fun

[upper sun]

i wasted about 600k-700k on rolling stuff and i got like 2 usable things imo camping the store is better unless you wanna spend 1+mil

[lyric burrow]

i do have 4 mi rn

[radiant frigate]

cursed weapon

[lyric burrow]

so i can buy a weapon every once in a while

[untold niche]

The "balanced timr" was when I was using something that isn't very build dependent (e.g. some of the melees) and on my way to grind for a better one

[upper sun]

i really like the gameplay but grinding for ~4-5 games to level an item just for it to brick feels like a gutpunch

[untold niche]

But after my first char I only use a weapon if I have a good roll

[lyric burrow]

although i think i have a good roll of literally every weapon available to psyker at this point (barring very similar mks like taxe 7)

[untold niche]

Got bored of the gameplay
Even when I was grinding, I manually selected a5histg. Only when I was grinding for my caxe I went a5qp

[lyric burrow]

yeah the gameplay is just like unmatched for me

so i dont mind as much

but its still p ass

[untold niche]

Psyker wise I watch other people's gameplay and I'm like yeah there is a clear like 10% of difference but that comes downt to playing more rather than achievable through deliberate practice.
So I felt I was good enough, and couldn't get remarkably better at least on psyker

Then got bored xD

[lyric burrow]

i can probably get better

like im consistently clearing HISTG esp with a premade

but i think there is still some stuff i could get better at

even 1100 hours in

[untold niche]

I'm trash on zealot though. I realised its because I don't like shooting stuff that much on zealot which is required if there is a special or elite horde. Can't just literally melee everything.

[untold niche]

Auric 5?

[lyric burrow]

yeah

i dont play anything else lol

[untold niche]

You should be able to do it pubs too

[lyric burrow]

oh i can do it in pubs

like 800ish of my hours are prob pubs

ive only played in full premades very recently

[untold niche]

Just curious, like what though? At 1100 hours in I can't imagine there is alot of stuff to get better at

For context I stopped playing like at 220 hours

[lyric burrow]

i think my positioning/decision making under a ton of pressure could get better

like its not

its not a huge improvement

im not making anything game changing at this point

just small stuff

even advancing on gunners i could get a little better at

[untold niche]

Won't comment about decision making since its quite broad but I know for sure positioning is something like I mentioned, comes with time instead of deliberate practice

At keast time matters more

[lyric burrow]

yeah i dont get put in situations bad enough for it to happen much sadly

comes up rarely

[untold niche]

If you play pubs it should happen no
Or you mean clutch situations?

[lyric burrow]

its not super common in pubs

i kinda know how to avoid said situation

at this point

[plucky flax]

[lyric burrow]

but yeah itll come up solo more

[plucky flax]

Teach me sensei.

[untold niche]

You play solo?

[lyric burrow]

you are probably better than me at this point

selfish

[untold niche]

Damn I never bothered to try because it's like a different game

[lyric burrow]

oh i meant like solo clutch

full solo is not very fun

you just kite

[plucky flax]

No I am still in sedition.

Top 1% bad.

[untold niche]

I know it's hypocritical bit I never gave much effort into clutching because I'm lazy :p why left click furiously when I can just die and request

Requeue

[lyric burrow]

getting an absurd solo clutch is quite satisfying

[untold niche]

Half joke. I know it takes skill

[lunar hollow]

you have to put yourself in progressively worse consistent situations to improve

[untold niche]

It's just like you said quite rare. And you shouldn't even be in that situation

[lunar hollow]

at some point you run out of new challenging content because they don't add more difficulties or modifiers that often

[lyric burrow]

yeah

[supple sedge]

Agreed. Was a zealot who saved mission after Ulgo and team fell

[lunar hollow]

so at that point u have to do low playercount challenge stuff like duos

[lyric burrow]

HISTG isnt really a challenge until shit really goes down

anymore

its still fun

because the game is fun

[lunar hollow]

you have to have exceptionally bad players

[lyric burrow]

or you get memed

[lunar hollow]

i mean thats not difficulty thats just having the mission auto-fail

[lyric burrow]

yeah

[lunar hollow]

most of my runs ending are because the game decides i no longer get the plasteel rather than players making bad choices

[untold niche]

There is different kind of consequence of bad players
One is the whole game you will win but its a slog.
The other is like you guys say shit will hit the fan and then you lose

[lyric burrow]

i will say playing with you and arco etc did show me there is stuff i could get better at

or stuff im like

[supple sedge]

Ulgo think that he should be better at this killing heretic thing... Ulgo not good enought to be true good Ogryn

[lyric burrow]

not as good at

[untold niche]

I prefer thr second one because its a faster end

[lyric burrow]

comparatively

[upper sun]

like as long as someone isnt needlessly dying they dont even have to be good

[lyric burrow]

if you get one competent teammate your fine

[untold niche]

Know slog as in you are on the brink of team collapse every minute

No*

Then you are mentally drained

One time I just quit

[lunar hollow]

i tried doing a couple duos for a crusher showcase and they all ended to the dumbest shit imaginable like chastising off a cliff and mankar getting sniper kicked off it

[untold niche]

Sniper kicked

[lyric burrow]

yeah that is the issue with challenge stuff

[untold niche]

Damn.

[lyric burrow]

its harder but also like

you are more likely to get memed

and memes just kill you

[lunar hollow]

the moment a stupid meme happens to 2 ppl the game is just over and that is super frustrating

[untold niche]

It also doesn't make sense I think.
Game is designed around 4 players.

[upper sun]

I havent gotten to that point yet usually when im the last man standing i kill two more waves then die to a basic mob spawning behind me

[lyric burrow]

yeah its just for more challenge

it does fall apart solo imo

but duo is more tolerable

solo is just kiting

not that engaging

[lunar hollow]

the problem with solo is that you have to selfhost a modded lobby so the stuff you're used to dealing with on latency is now at 0 ping

snipers break at 0 ping for instance

much more forgiving in games on official servers

[untold niche]

Pretty subjective:
But the game doesn't really reward you for getting better.
You don't have more rewards, you don't look cooler than and to your teammates

[lunar hollow]

the reward is being better

[lyric burrow]

yeah

the satisfaction of improving

and being better

[upper sun]

yeah they really should give basic rewards for doing higher threat levels

[lunar hollow]

ppl who need like gold star stickers for playing games just baffle me cuz like u do it cuz its fun or u find another way to spend the time

[lyric burrow]

even once youve cleared the hardest shit

and then sometimes you get to really showcase it

in a random clutch

[untold niche]

I mean I have other games where I I get better and I look cool, even if its to myself. I find that much more satisfying.

[radiant frigate]

is that the real twist

[lyric burrow]

no

stan has cursed me

[radiant frigate]

unfortunate

[untold niche]

Like nioh2
You getting better just means you look cooler to yourself because your attacks are more varied and you can pull off tech

Or fighting games where your progress is much more visible to yourself.

[lunar hollow]

darktide fills a niche that very few other games do

[lyric burrow]

souls/DT and fighting games are def the most satisying games to get better at

for me

and DT/souls get the benefit of not stressing me tf out

[lunar hollow]

if i said "i like playing darktide" and someone said "but why not play fighting games and feel more rewarded" i would be very confused what their point is because they are two different genres

[untold niche]

I mean improving is fun but if you can see how much you improve its even more fun.

I play games to have fun.

[lyric burrow]

i wouldnt say i cant see myself improve in DT

[untold niche]

I don't have like cravings I.e. " I want to shoot stuff today so I play darktide"

[untold niche]

I'm not saying you can't. I'm just saying those other games your progression is much more visible in terms of impact if that makes sense.

[lyric burrow]

yeah there are games where you can see although it depends how you gauge it

like

[radiant frigate]

i can definitely see myself improving

[lyric burrow]

fighting games would be a good example

because a lot of people will go oh i won more = better

[untold niche]

OK maybe I didn't address josh properly

Josho

[lyric burrow]

but like its just kinda hard to compare

ig

[untold niche]

Darktide for me is casual coop game that takes some skill, so if I'm feeling lazy I can play.

I just stopped playing DT because it got repetitive due to the reasons I said about getting better in DT not much difference, and also how I'm just getting bored.

[radiant frigate]

i can also say that builds like gunker are very weird to play

i just play dt when a friend asks me to hop on

[untold niche]

Not really. Being able to hit combos, being able to execute your gameplan, being able to sidestep
These stuffs are so visible and impact full

[lyric burrow]

i have competed in fighting games

people 100% just care about results

its not a good way to think about it

but they do it

[untold niche]

@lunar hollow if you are curious.

I played Steve in t7 and all I cared about was how many b1s I can CH in a single game.

[lyric burrow]

it is better to just worry about if you are better at X thing than you were X time ago for sure

and i will say it is a bit easier to do that in other games although again it comes back to them being very different games

so like its kinda hard to gauge

cause in DT you can still like set goals for yourself

since that helps people

really it just depends on what you play for

i didnt really play DT with the idea of improving

it was just a side effect of loving the gameplay

and i just happened to play it enough i got better

eventually i did care about improving

[untold niche]

I liked the gameplay, then got slightly bored + didn't like how it felt like I didn't have any control over the game
So I got better.
Once I reach my personal peak at psyker the game felt really repetitive AND I had no other goals to improve on.

[lyric burrow]

yeah thats fair

i think of lot of people likely hit the same point

[mighty fractal]

That's just burnout

Everyone hits that point at some time or another, especially in non-competitive games

[untold niche]

Some people are more creative like arco who recently made that super cool build.
Or people like josho that know every nook and cranny of the game

I can't be arsed to do either, at least for this game.

[lyric burrow]

i just happen to enjoy the gameplay enough it doesnt really feel like repetition of even if it does it just doesnt bother me cause im enjoying it regardless + the game just throws varied shit at you

and now you can at least put together builds

like ive been trying all the weapons on psyker now

most of my friends i got into the game hit the same point

[mighty fractal]

So long as you play the game in moderation and don't try to bring the thrill you got back when you were going through your honeymoon phase with the game, you can make your enjoyment last a long time

[lyric burrow]

where they either got frustrated or stopped caring

[mighty fractal]

Especially in a game like DT, where it's constantly testing your ability to handle different enemy compositions (and also has a super satisfying combat engine)

[lyric burrow]

i might be playing more now than i used to actually

well

at my peak i was playing like 40 hours a week

[untold niche]

I didn't want to grind for stuff that I have a chance to not have fun on I guess xD

OK admittedly the teammates affected me alot.
Like I ranted about this like 5 times already but the +5 vet on my a5male and then same vet on a5histg that couldn't shove dogs really pissed me off

[mighty fractal]

a lot of people hit that burnout phase, then start getting mad and blaming the game for not doing its job of entertaining them

[lyric burrow]

yeah breaks are good

[mighty fractal]

[lyric burrow]

ive needed to take breaks from p much every game aside from DT

esp fighting games cause those can put stress on me

[mighty fractal]

VT2 was the last game to hook me for that long

[untold niche]

Usually if I take break off a game I stop playing forever. Or come back to it for 2 months

[mighty fractal]

I used to play a lot of fighting games

[lyric burrow]

2 month breaks arent super unusual

[mighty fractal]

But my local scene did a Cadia and evaporated

so I lost a lot of motivation to keep playing

[untold niche]

No come back to it for 2 months then stop playing again xD

The only game I can pickup and play anytime is csgo because the fundamentals are the same, at least for my average skill level

[little rapids]

reddit moment

[mighty fractal]

yup

[little rapids]

FATSHARK IM GONNA GO PLAY HELLDIVERS 2

actual child post

[mighty fractal]

Then they'll go play the next big game

[lyric burrow]

yeah people are weird in the tide community

[little rapids]

i think its jsut redditors overall lol

[lyric burrow]

they will ask for content and then complain about the content given to them

[mighty fractal]

go through the honeymoon phase, start to see the flaws in their newest favorite game, and then repeat the burnout process

[little rapids]

i say that as a longtime redditor

[lyric burrow]

or ask for updates from devs and shit on the devs for giving update

[mighty fractal]

A lot of gamers are just like that in general

[near drift]

gamers should be jailed indefinitely without trial

[lyric burrow]

yeah

idk just like

[mighty fractal]

Back in my day, most of the gamer tribalism we had were just console wars or schoolyard fights over which MMO you played

[lyric burrow]

play a different game or enjoy the game in the meantime

[untold niche]

Damn I try so much games this me for real.
Like 6 months ago I tried naraka breakpoint then found out that combos were ping dependent, like not even less ping = good.
There was a specific range for good combos and I just dropped it

[lyric burrow]

its not complex

[upper sun]

well the game does start with you in jail

just dont leave the prologue

[lyric burrow]

ive been kinda replaying the same few games for a while now

[mighty fractal]

These days, a lot of people are gaming nomads where they'll play the absolute shit out of a game, burn out, get mad, then move to the next new hyped release and start all over again

[lyric burrow]

till ff7r rebirth comes out

[upper sun]

ye most new games are trash

[mighty fractal]

Damn that sounds super frustrating lol

[untold niche]

Or some games, like that top down tarkov after playing for like 15 minutes I realise you just had to look sound you before you walk, which makes it pretty easy. Then I was like I have no idea why people like this game so much, refunded.

[lyric burrow]

i should like competitive shooters but i cant get into them

they just

[untold niche]

What kind though

[lyric burrow]

obliterate my mental health so i only have so much motivation to get better at them over time

[untold niche]

I really liked r6 siege. At least when I played ( second year of launch)
My favourite multilayer game of all time.

[lyric burrow]

i liked siege like 5 years ago

it was my first comp game

i put like

1200 hours into it

i could not care less anymore

depsite never getting good

which kinda frustrates me

[untold niche]

I played it in uh 2016 I believe
All I remembered was since I played it on the second year, I played it way before anyone thought it was cool.

[untold niche]

I never had this problem with siege.
Just coming up with your own solutions was fun as hell

Siege is quite similar to FG in the sense that your foundation is your knowledge checks, then beyond that is how you play/think/solve the problem

That part has alot of player expression.

I didn't have an official rank because I was still a child so had a bed time, but everyone in my clan was plat3/4

I wasn't getting carried either

[lyric burrow]

the game punishing me for losing + communuty being ass made me feel like shit

i think i peaked at plat

[untold niche]

Dude game was so intense sometimes I can hear my heartbeat in my ear xD

[lyric burrow]

it was fun

i just dont care anymore sadly

[untold niche]

How did game punish you for losing though

[lyric burrow]

and i dont want to play that game casually

you lost elo as did your teammates

[untold niche]

I don't see that as punishment

As for community being ass.
For me I found a clan. Or rather a bunch of random including me played together and then formed a clan

[lyric burrow]

i could live with just me being punished

i mean i already wanted to off myself for any mistake in that game

but other people losing for me being ass

just felt like shit

[untold niche]

I think you took the rank too seriously. It really isn't punishment. It's a literal rank adjustment.

If your teammate lose rank because of you, then I'd you are not there they will gain it back if you are actually the cause

[lyric burrow]

i mean logically your right

but in game when 4 other people are affected i am not thinking like that

i am simply hating myself

[untold niche]

I think if their licelyhood would he affected I would feel the same way but it's just a game

[lyric burrow]

like in the moment it is very hard for me to think about it properly

[untold niche]

You should play nioh2

I am nioh2 fanboy

[lyric burrow]

as a dark souls challenge runner i do plan to try i t

eventually

[untold niche]

Please don't play it like darksouls

I played darksouls3, fought till I killed dog boss then stopped because it wasn't fun at all

I play nioh2, very very fun

Stopped because no time

Game needs dedication for me.

[lyric burrow]

i love ds3, i did like what i played of nioh one

but i didnt beat it

once im done doing challenge runs for ER/DS3 i will probably move onto the soulslikes

[untold niche]

Ds3 felt to me very much
Wait for boss attack, dodge. Do your 1 or 2 attack in which you can never overeating. Now wait for boss attack again.
Which felt very boring for me.

Nioh2 you can overextend in certain situations, you can attack while boss is attacking way more.
There's more game mechanics to play with.
There's actual tech that is hard to pull off AND looks cool

[lyric burrow]

yeah ds3/ER is a bit slower

than nioh

esp ds1 and 2

they are very very slow

[untold niche]

I don't know, irs not even about being slow. Monster hunter combat is about as slow as ds3 on slower weapons but it felt nicer to play because of the mechanics you can work off of.

Ds3 felt very samey, very uh "rule"

[lyric burrow]

yeah its decently consistent

if your not doing like

no hit

cause then jank can happen

well ER has jank baseline

[untold niche]

It felt like I'm practicing math questions than I am playing a game.

[lyric burrow]

but DS3 only really shows it when you are fighting a boss for a long time and cant get hit

yeah

i mostly just enjoy executing on knowing a boss to a T

like my ER run where it was all 165 bosses randomized and i couldnt die was very satisfying because i had to to adapt on the fly a lot and know how to fight so many bosses

which is the main reason i play

p much for the bosses

weapons can be fun too

[untold niche]

Imagine this but you can add your personal flavour.

[untold niche]

Also, imagine this but you fight 2 boss at same time.

[lyric burrow]

i mean duo bosses do exist

they are usually done poorly outside of ds3

that goes for other From games too

i am a duo boss hater

[tired estuary]

nah darklurker whips

[untold niche]

Admittedly personally I have a slight biased against ds3 because everyone on reddit called it fun and when I tried it wasn't fun at all. I believe they only found fun from the satisfaction of beating hard game.

I feel like one find a hard game unfun, but reddit seems to phrase it like people don't find it fun because it's hard. Quite elitist imo.

[lyric burrow]

yeah a big draw of DS games is just the satisfaction of overcoming challenge

[untold niche]

So imagine when I found nioh2, hard game but super fun.

[lyric burrow]

hard bur fair

[tired estuary]

idk I like most souls games and ds3 is pretty low on that list it's all pretty subjective

[lyric burrow]

yeah

i like ER less than like

90% of the community

and i still like eR

[untold niche]

Can even cheese it to make it easy.
Replied message is why I love it so much ngl.

[untold niche]

Wait sorry what list

[lyric burrow]

list of the souls games

they have played

IE they like it less than the other ones

[untold niche]

Ah

[lyric burrow]

but yeah soulslikes tend to be very subjective

a lot of people tend to not like anything not from fromsoft that is a similar game by default

and a lot of people just like from games more

[untold niche]

Yeah I just feel ds3 is an undeserved circlejerk.

But when I had this talk with someone else, he did bring up a good point.
Dark souls pioneered certain mechanics like the resting and losing all your currency on death, type thing.

[feral verge]

@spice veldt

[lyric burrow]

and then there are also people who like the other ones more

idk souls games are like very quite good

maybe a little over hyped

but if it clicks it clicks

well i say souls games

[untold niche]

For that I think it deserves respect.
Alot of new mechanics and stuff.
But gameplay itself I don't like it at all. I even preferred monster hunter as mentioned

[lyric burrow]

ive only played ER and DS3 extensively

MH is great

[untold niche]

One thing I don't like about MH ( subjectively) is the camera

I just can't click with it lol

If you like skill based SP games you could try DMC as well. Didn't click for me but it might for you

[lyric burrow]

i did get used to it

but i would prefer a lock on

actually

i think it has one and i hated it

i was like a not traditional one though iirc

[untold niche]

i use greatsword so i just gave in and started staring at the monsters actual ass, not knowing when it would attack, just going it off by pure feel

i uh, wasn't great at the game as you can tell xD

[lyric burrow]

i got like

ok at it ig

only took 400 hours

[untold niche]

i played that game purely for fun

was just funny to slice off tails

[lyric burrow]

but even then im not amazing

i dont know monster movesets super well or how to take advantage of all the items

[untold niche]

i only know monster usually has tailwhip, claw attack, headbutt, and leg scratch xD

[ivory path]

turns out doing a run with 3 other siblings is a blast

[feral verge]

i've encountered strange phenomena with this

3 psykers in a pub usually ends in defeat

4 psykers is usually a cakewalk

[ivory path]

we kinda clowned on that run

myself and one other with surge staff, the other 2 with purg

2 bubbles

paired surge with purg, purg handles hordes while surge kills elites

[untold niche]

have you tried the mauler/crusher maelstrom with 4 psykers

makes the modifier redundant

[lyric burrow]

pre patch 4 psykers was usually death

now that shield exists

we win

[ivory path]

Ive just been doing quickplay auric damnation

[untold niche]

if you dont have a desperate need to grind, i would suggest solely queuing for a5histg

if you have full build that should ( as in what most people do) your "normal" difficulty

[radiant frigate]

is that what makes the difference

on another note i find that whenever i see 4 vets it's a shitshow

[ivory path]

I learned how the crafting system works a few weeks ago and proceeded to spend all of my crafting mats

[feral verge]

in my experience, no

[ivory path]

been trying to build back up

[feral verge]

i rarely if ever feel the impact of shield

i never bring shield

[lyric burrow]

multiple shields made a big diff in my exp cause it just pauses the game with randos

since randos arent aggro

[ivory path]

I honestly havent missed shield when i swapped to other builds

[feral verge]

and it's very rare for me to see a shield psyker and feel that their shield made a signifigant impact, atleast for me

[ivory path]

Its nice when you dont have any frontline though

[feral verge]

this makes sense

[radiant frigate]

i am not a fan of shield

[feral verge]

because i am very agro

[radiant frigate]

or bubble

[lyric burrow]

yeah if you aggro

youll notice for 2 seconds

i am aggro when i play with competent people

[radiant frigate]

i guess you could use it as an "oh shit" button if you also play aggressive

[lyric burrow]

but with 3 randos they just die behind me

[ivory path]

Getting shot from ranged? Just say no, ranged enemies cannot legally shoot you if you run empathic evasion.

[untold niche]

if i have a 3 competent players, and if the game gets too easy i play really dumb

just to add some spice

only on zealot tho, gotta keep my stacks on DD psyker

[upper sun]

what do we think?

pre bricked or what?

[lyric burrow]

its good but you have to get a good perk and blessing

next

[upper sun]

ye

[lyric burrow]

otherwise bricked

good enough stats id gamble it

[upper sun]

elites 4 was good

whats the path for transfer peril void? nexus 4+flak?

[lyric burrow]

id do flurry if you want a transfer void

and yeah flak elites would be fine

[upper sun]

uhhhh sibling i'm afraid I do not have flurry

[lyric burrow]

F

farming time

[upper sun]

eh ill keep it for now

not horrible for 20k docket investment

[lyric burrow]

You could also run cara if you wanted to deal with crushers but thats more of a surge void perk

[upper sun]

yeah

[little rapids]

holy shit mettle with trauma is like

all ur toughness back

[radiant frigate]

not too fond of trauma

[storm fox]

Psyker is way too fragile🫥, any suggestion not too relying teammate?

[hollow spruce]

blessings for purg staff?

[hollow spruce]

get better

[feral verge]

warp nexus and warp flurry

[hollow spruce]

bet ty

[feral verge]

this sounds like a troll/ but it's the truth

[storm fox]

The only way to survive is to kill even faster than teammate after 300hours on this class I found out

[hollow spruce]

use dome, try smite out for CC and stay alive

[feral verge]

psyker has the best/easiest toughness regen feats in the game

[hollow spruce]

if you are dying a lot I rec smite

[little rapids]

not my fav but its fun

[feral verge]

you want cloud radius and burn to be high. burn should be 76% or higher

flak perk is a must

[hollow spruce]

gotcha

thanks brohta

[storm fox]

Yep, I can drag and run backward to melt all the mobs, I never dead from overheat, it is so easy to get overwhelmed in auric or 5++

[feral verge]

second perk is up to personal choice, but i think maniac is the best. unyielding and crit chance (not crit damage) are solid picks

[radiant frigate]

i don't think it beats ogryn heavies but it is good

[feral verge]

oh yeah true i forgout about that

1.8k hours in, still havent gotten ogryn to 30

[lyric burrow]

Yeah ogryn toughness regen is really hard to beat

Psyker gets more at range tho

[feral verge]

overall, psyker has better regen though, for every scenario

yee including ranged is what i mean

[lyric burrow]

Second wind comes close but i would agree

Psyker gets it for doing anytbing

[radiant frigate]

based

[lyric burrow]

Ogryn do be the designed class of all time

[radiant frigate]

playing ogryn gives me brain damage

[feral verge]

The funny thing is though

Most pub ogryn players are so braindead that even the braindead class can't save them

Especially the larpers

If I see a pubgryn type in chat: "I protecc lil uns!!!"

I KNOW they will spend half the game downed, dead and disabled

[lyric burrow]

Yeah

I appreciate the thought

[patent wing]

its so stupid to compare dmg numbers if u have a vet in your team

first fight in the game after 2-3 specialists and some poxwalkers was against 6 crushers which were insta killed with a krak grenade and gave him 30k advantage instantly

how is this grenade allowed to be restored via talents

[upper sun]

thats every tree compared to psyker

Do 25% extra damage

vs >do 3% extra damage if you land 13 crits backwards stacks twice

[stone totem]

Playing ogryn lets me get all the brain damaged juices out of my head so I may think clearly elsewhere

Throwing rocks satisfies the ancestral urges to kill things with fast primitive projectiles

[little rapids]

Sophisticated individual by day

rock croncher by night

[patent wing]

vet is extra stupid i swear.
krak grenade giga op with restore talent
plasma gun giga broken
power sword good vs every thing

i want power cycler too fs pls

[stone totem]

The headshot passive stacking with, but not comboing with, BB is so stupid

You would think that's like the in-tree synergy they would LET happen

But they intentionally barred it

[upper sun]

yeah i really think they unjustifiably nerf psyker talents because lol no ammo

ammo managment isnt even that bad even without having a survivalist on your team

AND WE ALSO USE AMMO if we run guns

[radiant frigate]

ammo management is not even a thing

you just have infinite ammo if vet is on the team

simple as

[upper sun]

devs dont even play their game

[hollow spruce]

[upper sun]

Amazing

[cosmic sigil]

That's not true at all.

[torpid girder]

I'm offended by this but I also can't disagree

[raw storm]

We have to touch our eye, or we go boom and no other class goes boom..lol Everytime I play my toon I am chainting touch your eye. lol

[raw storm]

The problem is they play the game but know all the cheat codes and such so they just do not see problems.

If I was a Dev I have a computer that does not allow me to use cheats..lol

[cosmic sigil]

The cheat codes??

[upper sun]

he means they can give themsleves items plasteel etc

[cosmic sigil]

There's different type of testing. You may use cheats to test a build, but you do also need user testing

[upper sun]

man the amount of people that have leaked gov secrets to empress random people in bars

if i could give myself a godroll void staff

i 100% would

[buoyant maple]

It’s very rare for 1 krak to kill 6 crushers, usually it’ll kill at most 2

[dense zinc]

Try Minecraft discord servers. One of the worst breaches of national security in US history occurred when some punk kid leaked pentagon secrets in an attempt to win an argument he was losing on a minecraft discord.

Fastest way to destroy your life if you ask me.

[feral knoll]

Which Psyker staff has best overall damage?

[feral knoll]

You ever heard of War Thunder?

[feral verge]

damage vs what

because they are all good at certain things

if you want to do the most damage on a scoreboard, then you want blaze trauma, purga staff, or surge voidstrike

most damage i've ever done was 1.3 million with purga staff

[feral knoll]

I suppose I’m looking for single target generally. Because Surge feels meh at that despite using that a lot and I like it

[feral verge]

voidstrike staff with surge blessing

will one or two shot everyything but bosses

[feral knoll]

Never used voidstrike much so. Probably will be fun. Thanks : )

[feral verge]

you want this setup

you could swap maniac for carapace, to one shot crushers

but i like maniac for lmb spam damage

[primal ravine]

rate my drip

[mental grail]

I want that jacket

FUCK

hand it over

that thing

[primal ravine]

the best part of it is not seen on the screen

[mental grail]

your drip

[mental grail]

Bruh

I fucking hate this store

[primal ravine]

Agreed

[mental grail]

let me buy what I want

[orchid shadow]

I'll never be able to unsee that magikarp hood.

[mental grail]

And not have to wait 4 months

[primal ravine]

we have peaked ik

the thing I hate is my fit is actually 3 item from different sets

so it took me forever to get it that good

[mental grail]

Bro I look like a bum

[feral knoll]

Never seen the surge perk before. Oh yeah. I want that

[mental grail]

It was even worse when I was stock

honestly praying for the drip jacket to come back in rotation

[primal ravine]

I wish you luck

the pants are in right now tho

I just bought them

[urban sandal]

I run the same outfit n bought the pants but they feel more like a set of pajamas with them

[dense zinc]

War thunder wishes it had leaks that classified XD
But yeah war thunder has a hilarious track record

[warm spindle]

is burn stack on crit good?

[urban sandal]

for what weapon

[hexed geyser]

I'm just rocking the black psyker drip at the moment, or the white and green one. Both look good imo

[warm spindle]

recon lasgun, I run a crit psyker build and wanted some extra damage, I didnt know if burn was worth it

[urban sandal]

it's a good blessing for the recons but recon lasguns in general suck

blaze trauma is perfect for a crit build but it's pretty hard to build a good one

[warm spindle]

honestly, I got dumdum and disrupt, the damage isnt that bad especially with how much I crit

its probably not the best but lasgun larp is fun

[potent echo]

Practically not really, most things will die even without the burn, it will only be decent vs gryns and bosses

[warm spindle]

yeah my plan is to counter carapace by stacking burn on crushers

[potent echo]

But you must give up headhunter or dumdum for it

[potent echo]

This is a dream, crushers don't care

[warm spindle]

but i have no clue about the damage and how much it would be, I would almost guarentee max stacks if I shoot at something

[warm spindle]

dang

[potent echo]

Just go to the psyk and test, it's not that difficult

[urban sandal]

there are much better options for dealing with carapace, such as dueling swords, brain burst, trauma/void staves

[warm spindle]

I dont have the blessing brother, its in my melk shop and idk if its worth it

[potent echo]

Then buy it and try it

[warm spindle]

lol

[mighty cipher]

I actually just backfilled on the WORST psykers imaginable

[warm spindle]

god forbid I ask a question in the psyker chat

[potent echo]

It's always better to know for yourself than trust random people online like me 🤷‍♂️

[mighty cipher]

I'm not usually a person to shittalk people, but HOLY FUCK these psykers sucked

[wet belfry]

What recon?

give me the mark

[mighty cipher]

THIS WAS LOW INTENSITY HUNTING GROUNDS

[warm spindle]

uhh 7a I think? idk

[wet belfry]

Its not good on the 7A

7A Is the heavy recon

It fires slower, has heavier damage then the other two

[warm spindle]

I crit enough to get the benifet tho

[wet belfry]

Theres less chance for infernus to proc on it just due to the firerate

[warm spindle]

depends on how long the burn lasts but I have a 20% rate on it

[warm spindle]

tru but im so lazy

[hollow current]

I like infernus but for Carapace? I don't think that's the play.

[grizzled wedge]

DIRTNAP here, to the guy in my last maelstrom mission struggling with the voidstrike, this is the boomstick.

[fair spruce]

an actual bullpup recon lasrifle

(if you say they're all bullpups cuz I didn't know that I'll roll you in a lil boll)

[primal ravine]

comfy and stylish

[primal ravine]

I prefer the quell on weakspot, if you aim right in hordes it actually reduce your peril

[cosmic sigil]

what's your build?

[mental grail]

Off topic, but anytime some posts shit like this, I play I'm not in the roster lol

[rigid sky]

Crit damage is bad, sadly

[plucky flax]

Sorry it was me

[plucky flax]

[untold niche]

if you are on pc you can use loadout config mod

[untold niche]

what difficulty is this, why does all the numbers look so low

[untold niche]

even crit chance is debatable

[austere crest]

is this bad

[cosmic sigil]

just change the perks

you need block efficiency and sprint efficiency too

or maybe stamina

[upper sun]

I got the doran guy while i was doing weeklies yesterday

either he needs a break or the servers are empty

[upper sun]

id rather have the stamina on a curio with vet for the focus talent

[paper loom]

what does Hadron have agaisnt my weapons?

[urban sandal]

there are a lot of Doran's, it's one of the default names

[upper sun]

same cosmetics too

also zealot

[urban sandal]

[cosmic sigil]

twas a joke

[upper sun]

to be fair stamina perks are also underrated

assuming you dont really need a perk for a breakpoint

[austere crest]

@opal pawn sold me. gun psyker is the strongest of them all

[rigid sky]

One of us

You're the biggest threat to everything on Atoma

Including yourself

[austere crest]

he almost talked me into a keystone too but i chickened out

[rigid sky]

Take Disrupt Destiny on it omg

Go full glass cannon

[austere crest]

a keystone on my current build would be too overpowered i think

[rigid sky]

It's addictive as hell

[austere crest]

oh trust me im the glassiest cannon XD

[rigid sky]

Yeah but who'd complain? The heretics?
