psyker-class

[wind spruce]

Pretty often, yeah

[worn beacon]

Well

Shit

Both of my staff psyker builds are taken from youtube

[radiant frigate]

i just make my own builds

[worn beacon]

I personally don't have enough game knowledge to create my own builds for now

[upper sun]

I tried it

only added like 40 damage at max peril

[radiant frigate]

you will gain knowledge through practice and experimentation

for example i thought shriek was pretty much point blank range for a long time

[wind spruce]

Feel free to link ur build and we can have a look

[radiant frigate]

until i saw that it very much was not

[sly dawn]

I simply slapped on what looked good to me

[radiant frigate]

share

[upper sun]

tbh ive gotten flak for picking some talents just for the same talents to be recommended to me later on

pick a good clear tool and a good single target tool and some type of survivability and you're good

[worn beacon]

Ye hold on

[upper sun]

imo talents from first one weapons from second but i like going warp charges with purge

purge is already great for clear no need for illisi

[wind spruce]

Spitfire

1. Blazing spirit is horrendous on force swords. Get uncanny strike instead
2. Carapace is horrendous on purgatus. Get flak instead.
3. Kinetic flayer is always bad. Never pick it

[upper sun]

and I have an illisi with shred/blazing and+5 crit its not really that good

[rigid sky]

Tbf Illisi at its base is already exceptional

[radiant frigate]

the go fast illisi of fire...

[rigid sky]

Bad consecrations can be masked by it simply being a very strong weapon

[upper sun]

its fun buuuut idk id rather do flak maniac like a normal person

[wind spruce]

I'd also consider trying out warp charges instead of Empowered psionics, especially for a brain burst trauma build. Take kinetic resonance if you want to improve BB a bit.

[upper sun]

executioner/uncanny/deflector/slaughter are best for illisi

[radiant frigate]

my baby

[upper sun]

nice

mine is slaught 3 uncanny 4

[radiant frigate]

good enough

still kills heretics like a charm i'll wager

[worn beacon]

So basically what you're saying

[upper sun]

yeah

[worn beacon]

Both are bad, but if I just mix them they become good

This is time when two wrongs make a right

[upper sun]

nah theyre both fine

but not what id do

ill post my purge build

lemme just load up

[rigid sky]

Psyker has a lot of flexibility to it

It's nice that every keystone, blitz and ability is usable in some build or another

Although I would like the keystone modifiers to be tweaked a bit

And I'd like warp charges to not be buried under a pile of shit if they want us to spend 5 points on the keystone itself

[dim parrot]

Im being blinded by the sun and therefore can't farm a good trauma

[worn beacon]

I'd still keep the empowered psionics because for me it's kinda easiest to understand

[rigid sky]

Like half the strength of Enhanced Psionics is simply that it's only gated by Warp Rider

[rigid sky]

I use it on my BR/Bubble/Blaze Trauma build

Saves points and helps with killing long range elites/specials

[rigid sky]

And Warp Rider is a must take for everybody anyway

[worn beacon]

Blaze trauma? Sorry my game is in different language and I don't know what that is

[worn beacon]

Oh yeah warp rider is wild

[rigid sky]

Trauma staff with blazing spirit (blessing that gives soulblaze on crit)

[worn beacon]

+20% for almost free

Ah

It's the one with aoe explosion yes?

[rigid sky]

Trauma is, yes

[worn beacon]

Psyker staves are nice, but using the M1 attacks feels frustrating due to ping

Press attack and it comes out half a second after

[upper sun]

this is what i use

[wind spruce]

Warp charges seems more complicated but its actually less. You just ignore it the whole game and it gives you more damage, more cooldown reduction and more peril reduction

[upper sun]

idk might drop something for perfect timing tho

[rigid sky]

No Mettle on Purgatus?

[worn beacon]

So far I understood it as "Kill elite/special get a buff"

[rigid sky]

You crit almost constantly

[rigid sky]

You don't have to react to the buff though

[upper sun]

yeah my idea was im already wasting half of it sitting in one place so im not using the movement speed

[rigid sky]

It just makes you stronger

[worn beacon]

Hm

I should try it out actually

[rigid sky]

All keystones are legit and kinda easy if you put them in the right build

Like don't bother with Disrupt Destiny outside of voidstrike or gun

But apart from that they all work

(But the builds that do get to use DD are 100% the most fun, you cannot change my mind)

[worn beacon]

SG also was kinda hard to understand until I tried it out in practice

Press button get stronger

[rigid sky]

Then die because you forget your peril is fucked lol

Sure, one more assail, that sounds like a great idea voices in my head

[worn beacon]

Wait does peril increase damage taken?

[rigid sky]

No, but if you use a peril ability at 100% you're fucked lol

And I like to use assail until the last possible moment

[worn beacon]

Oh I use it on gun psyker

[rigid sky]

And sometimes a little after too lol

[upper sun]

my worst death was when i accidentally block pushed with a force sword at 100% peril

[worn beacon]

Which is why I got confused

[rigid sky]

Same, I just miss my moment when to transition from assail to gun

I play it too dangerously

[worn beacon]

I use smite on gun psyker, helps out in some niche situations a lot

Like game deciding that several crushers in a horde is a good idea

[sly dawn]

Smite is cool, lighting is cool

[worn beacon]

Yup

At first used to conserve ammo on the ranged weapon

Then high rating ammo became a thing

Psyker is so cool that I made two seprate psykers with two voices that I liked the most

So one I keep one for gun psyker and other is staff one

[rigid sky]

I think I just like the SG/DD synergy with Assail too much

Also male loner SG voice lines are amazing

[worn beacon]

Yes

[rigid sky]

YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! ISN'T THAT NICE?

[worn beacon]

He sounds like a goof and I intended him to look like one

Something I didn't account for that even with that idea in mind the psyker outfits go hard

[rigid sky]

Four shortened lifespans etc

I like how the female psyker just gets the first line of the quote and gets to sound all badass with it

But male loner is a petulant little bitch who goes off on a tangent and then gets mad that the party is paying more attention to the horde than to the mystical bullshit he's spouting

So narcissistic and megalomaniacal

But he's got a good heart

[worn beacon]

I love the support quotes he has on the marking wheel

"Not dead yet? Lucky me!"

So inspirational

[rigid sky]

Also talking about the Carrion Emperor

In front of zealots

On live mission comms

Which sometimes has fuckin Rannick listening in

[worn beacon]

He knows he'll be Big E's breakfast so instead of walking on thin ice he just dances on it

[radiant frigate]

sometimes i wonder why i assume i'm not entirely alone when playing pubs

[worn beacon]

Also am I only one unlucky with with ogryn players?

[sullen sphinx]

I'm still not sure why NPCs are so friendly with Loner.

[radiant frigate]

Loner is competent

[worn beacon]

I swear to god I heard more friendly fire voicelines from ogryns as gun psyker than anywhere else

Also the vet

[radiant frigate]

well yes, they're a planet-sized target that gets in the way

[worn beacon]

Still kinda same problem

[rigid sky]

Maybe some of them appreciate that the Loner is at least a good person under it all

He's angry because he sees everybody in the Imperium get treated like shit

[radiant frigate]

a good person under it all but so very tired of how shitty existence is

[rigid sky]

I feel like Morrow and Zola might be able to relate

Melk just finds him amusing and appreciates his competence

[worn beacon]

I also did not expect the pushing combat ability to have that big of a range

[sullen sphinx]

I wonder if Tzeentch is responsible for his knowledge

[worn beacon]

Was it venting shriek?

[rigid sky]

He's probably on Rannick's hit list the moment he stops being useful

[rigid sky]

Yep

[worn beacon]

Yeah

[rigid sky]

The Flames modifier for it is huge range

It's like Blaze Trauma

[worn beacon]

At first I thought venting shriek had womp womp range

[rigid sky]

If they even get gently nudged by it, it gives them the full 6 stacks (presuming high peril)

[rigid sky]

The force of it scales with peril

[worn beacon]

And then I see a mauler get knocked over like 50 meters away

[rigid sky]

If you're using it as an emergency push at 0 peril, it's quite weak

If you use it for a full vent it's very strong

[worn beacon]

What game considers high and low peril for shriek?

Above and below 50%?

[sullen sphinx]

I think 80-90% is the max for it

[feral verge]

for max venting shriek damage, you want to be at 84% peril

[rigid sky]

It's graduated in 1/6 segments

[feral verge]

the exact number is something like 83.3333%

[rigid sky]

That's for the Flames calculation at least

Idk how the force part works

[worn beacon]

I usually did it after getting peril at ~95% with the purgatus

[rigid sky]

It might be less granular, it's not so important really

[feral verge]

yeah, you can do it at 84% for max stacks

[vale nacelle]

Don’t forget it can push through walls too

[rigid sky]

I like to do it at 100 exactly for the warp rider synergy personally

[worn beacon]

So for conclusion of those two, could you say they are salvageable by tweaking them?

[worn beacon]

It what?

[sacred crane]

can i get opinions on my dueling sword

[feral verge]

it goes through walls

[vale nacelle]

You can knock dogs off people through walls and stuff. It’s pretty pog.

[worn beacon]

I'll... Note that for future, thanks

[feral verge]

i reccomend running deimos or ds4 with purga

this is the optimal deimos setup, imo

for purga atleast

optimal purga setup

maniac damage is also an option

[worn beacon]

I knew that flurry and nexus were the picks

[feral verge]

flak is a must

[worn beacon]

Like I felt it

[vale nacelle]

DS4 imo.

You should only be swapped off blaze trauma when dealing with muties.

[feral verge]

if we want to talk about boosting your soulblaze dmg the most, deimos is better

because it has executor

@worn beacon im assuming you dont know aobut soulblaze + uncanny strike, so here is my copy pasta from yesterday about it

uncanny strike is very important, and very powerful. uncanny strike will allow you to melt elite packs and bosses with soulblaze

you see a boss/elite pack, you set them on fire with purga staff, with idk 1-3 gusts of fire (that will put 15 stacks of soulblaze on them. then you use venting shriek fire ult at 84% peril (aka ascendant blaze) on them, adding an additional 6 stacks of soulblaze, for a total of 21. then, you swap to your melee with uncanny strike, and attack the boss, or one of the many elites in the head, proccing uncanny strike, which now gives your soulblaze rending capabilities

[zenith vigil]

is this pog? how to make it pogger? 😄

[feral verge]

executor will further boost your soulblaze damage too

[worn beacon]

@feral verge Kinda the two builds I've been running on staff psyker. Think I can tweak them to be more optimal?

[worn beacon]

Holy shit

[feral verge]

i cant look at gameslantern feats

i have some darkmode extension that makes it hard to see what has been selected

but i can post my main build

which uses purga

i run 3x toughness curios, with +hp, toughness and 20% gunner resist perks

[worn beacon]

I see

[feral verge]

i find + stamina to be neat, but redundant with kinetic deflection

[feral verge]

yes, this is a game changer

you go from tickling elites, to thoroughly melting them

it's the secret to getting 1 million damage in games

[dim parrot]

yessir first pub round was a w

[feral verge]

when i say 1 million dmg, i mean literally

[zenith vigil]

wait, is this an in depth purga guide session? 😄

[worn beacon]

I see that assail is not an option for purgatus builds most of the time ye?

[feral verge]

no, it's an option

i prefer BB

smite is a no go

[rigid sky]

Brain rupture covers your weakness better

[feral verge]

yesterday i actually changed up my main build (which is purga, like i said)

to try out the BB changes

[worn beacon]

What the fuck

[rigid sky]

Assail works but is a bit redundant imo

[feral verge]

this is my EP build im trying out

[plucky flax]

I turn on bloom and lens flare then burn my own eyes.

[worn beacon]

I think one my builds is something like that except with a shield

[feral verge]

furthermore, deimos with uncanny + executor blessings will stack FOUR TIMES in one special light attack to the head of even a trash enemy

so you can set a pile of crushers, maulers whatever on fire

if you are scared to get close, find a poxwalker

activate special attack, light attack poxwalker in head

[dim parrot]

I once met a poxwalker in a bar

[feral verge]

uncanny strike and executor will get 4 stacks (out of 5)

[worn beacon]

And then everything that is set on fire

Dies

[feral verge]

yeah

[worn beacon]

I wish I knew that before

[feral verge]

also, soulblaze dmg gets boosted by the perks on your weapon

so if you set a boss on fire with your 25% flak + 5% crit chance purga staff, you are doing no bonus damage

but swap to your 25% unyielding deimos

without even touching the boss

your soulblaze is now doing 25% more damage

[worn beacon]

Oh shit

[feral verge]

yeah, the game does not communicate this to you at all

i see many, many purga psykers at the bottom of the scoreboard, thinking that the staff sucks

when it is actually really powerful if used to it's fullest extent

with this info--if you are already decent at the game--you will literally go from the bottom of the scoreboard, to the top in nearly every match

[worn beacon]

So venting shriek is more optimal than shield?

[feral verge]

absolutely

1000000%

i dont like shield too much to begin with, but it's probably the last ult i would bring with purga

[worn beacon]

I also forgot what default aura pysker has

Damage to elites?

[feral verge]

i believe so

taking fire venting shriek is a must with purga

[worn beacon]

That's so much useful info unironically

[feral verge]

yeah my mind was blown like a year ago when someone informed me

[worn beacon]

I knew not dropping purgatus was a great idea instead of focusing on gun psyker only

[feral verge]

also the lmb attack on the staff has great stagger

[worn beacon]

Since other staves lmb attacks acted funny

[feral verge]

very very useful to keep bursters, trappers, and ragers at bay

[worn beacon]

Absolutely loving it

Helps when my pub teammates get attacked by hound

Just look, press and done

[feral verge]

one common mistake i see new purga psykers doing is setting lone enemies on fire. whether it's muties, maulers, or even poxwalkers.

dont.

just melee them

save the staff for enemy groups only

however, if you come upon a solo shooter about to shoot you, you can swap to purga, then lmb to stagger it, then quickly swap to melee to kill it

[worn beacon]

I do that a lot actually

[feral verge]

excellent

[worn beacon]

Thanks a lot for the info

Oh boy I have some reforming to do tomorrow

[rigid sky]

Also good to stagger a Rager with the LMB

Anything dangerous really

But LMB is a set up rather than a proper attack

[worn beacon]

Soulblaze pepper spray

[rigid sky]

Either to make space for you or to deny space to them

But do try the other staves too again

The LMB bolts are good and useful but they're very secondary really

They're like the advanced use part of the kit

[worn beacon]

Lightning staff seems good

As well as equinox

[rigid sky]

That's the only one I don't use much but it is still very good

[rigid sky]

Voidstrike or Trauma? Iirc they are both Equinox brand

[worn beacon]

But so far I need to cramp all the purgatus info into my head

[rigid sky]

Voidstrike is the bowling ball

[worn beacon]

Bubble voidstrike

[rigid sky]

Trauma is the circle of boom

Voidstrike is currently my favourite

Raw concentrated precision fuck-you energy

[worn beacon]

Might be one that uses assail as blitz

[rigid sky]

Plus it works well with Disrupt Destiny which is the fun keystone

Tbh Assail is always an option

It's basically the default one to take if you aren't sure there's something that works better for you

It just screws you out of psychinetic aura

[worn beacon]

Iirc Assail was basically my primary way of killing everything in early game

[rigid sky]

It's just generically really good

And isn't too resource expensive or time expensive

Like the other two

[worn beacon]

«Jarvis, I need that general direction killed"

[rigid sky]

The RMB throw is even better

25 peril and slower but much more lethal

[terse saffron]

salvageable?

[feral verge]

yeah

[tired estuary]

yeah just swap the perks

[rigid sky]

Change the perks

And it's great tbh

[feral verge]

you could keep executor, and swap groaner for flak, sprint for maniac

[rigid sky]

Slaughterer is a top tier perk and executor is a little below but still very good

[tired estuary]

ye the thing with executor is even when you lose stacks it doesn't take any amt of time to build them back up

[rigid sky]

But that statline

I'm jealous tbh

[terse saffron]

does it stack multiple weak spot hits in 1 swing?

[vestal fulcrum]

I can test that real quick

it does

(at least on Deimos with the sweeping lights/heavy, but I imagine it is even easier to do on Illisi)

[feral verge]

@austere crest i didnt notice you spawned at the event, snorry

i blame rowboat for not putitng medipack down earlier

[austere crest]

no biggie , hit quickswap twice on accident and instead of stab i shot and popped lol

4 hours in, i take a break now XD

[feral verge]

i have done that a few times

[austere crest]

also bb's are at it still

[feral verge]

alas

[rigid sky]

It doesn't fire sometimes?

That's worse than the bug it "fixed" :/

[austere crest]

literally

[patent wing]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoxPr-XnK2c

[feral verge]

yes, im experiencing this too

im trying out EP + BB after the update

[upper sun]

are you sure its not just a mod you're using because ive never had bb stick this bad

[radiant frigate]

is this with EP

[dim parrot]

Ep had a bug with bb at some point, dont know if its still the same

used to start the charge all over again without attacking

[austere crest]

no just with the bb nodes

[untold niche]

i think we can be best friends

[austere crest]

no, i dont use anything that would effect game mechanics

[untold niche]

i haven't see nanyone call DD fun ;-;

[dim parrot]

what

[austere crest]

waht

DD is sick

[dim parrot]

dd my beloved

[radiant frigate]

only the funny power sword blades for your knife i imagine

[dim parrot]

how dare they not call it fun

[radiant frigate]

(it is real trippy to look at)

[dim parrot]

these siblings dont know whats up

[untold niche]

the regulars here that i know don't really like DD beyong gunker, and even on gunker some run EP assail

[austere crest]

i took off the weapon customization stuff a couple weeks ago, too crashy

[radiant frigate]

sad

[untold niche]

that was the quickest correction i did

[dim parrot]

I playe gunker build without the gun lol

[rigid sky]

good on voidstrike too

[dim parrot]

they called me crazy

[austere crest]

When you have the node for DD stacks on weakspot kills, it gets really really nice

[radiant frigate]

idk, i like dd more than the other keystones

i am not paying 10 talent points for warp charges

and i am not grabbing EP

[hollow current]

The best thing about DD is the zoomies.

[dim parrot]

right???

dd is the way

and combined with sg its godly

[austere crest]

they need to condense the warp side down a bit, its kind of rediculous that you have to give up half a skill tree to get 6 stacks

[radiant frigate]

triple psyker team

[untold niche]

i just like the pure damage increase

[radiant frigate]

wish me luck

[austere crest]

oof

[dim parrot]

good luck sibling

[austere crest]

fail rate higher the more psykers on a squad

[dim parrot]

depends

[austere crest]

win probably 4 out of 10

[untold niche]

conversely true on armour only mael

[austere crest]

the best maely

[hollow current]

Honestly it's a really nice synergy. It lets you 1 hit a lot of things and 'nothing personnal' on over to the next kill.

[rigid sky]

Outside of BR, EP feels like shit tbh

People rave about it on Assail

But it's just worse than DD for Assail imo

And then DD affects your other shit too

[hollow current]

I never really got this either. It just didn't work well with me whereas DD is godlike.

[feral verge]

If there are 3 psykers, the game is usually a wash

Infact in the game we just played there were 3

But if there are 4 psykers, idk in my experience we have an easy victory

[untold niche]

33% dr on vet saved me from mauler

[hexed geyser]

4 psykers just means there's nothing getting in a 10m perimeter of the players

[rigid sky]

Depends entirely on loadouts

[hexed geyser]

that's the fun part of 4 loadouts

[rigid sky]

4 purgatuses, you're gonna have a bad time

[queen fog]

Aye u could have some psykers that like bein a lil more on the melee side, usin reflector on a force sword

[rigid sky]

1 of each staff = fuuuuuun

Or 3 + a gun

All Psykers should be very damaging melee users tbh, just targeted at different things

We have to be because we die so fast to melee pressure

Or unexpected attacks

But the Big 3 psyker melees are 3 of the best melee weapons in the game

In a Zealot's hands you would call them all grossly OP

[tired estuary]

dd owns I love throwing my shitty little JO crystals at blue people

[untold niche]

door no longer work against boss?

[radiant frigate]

update: the triple psyker round was really cozy actually

all loners

bit hairy at one point but we recovered

[near drift]

https://i.stack.imgur.com/nGMrD.gif

[rigid sky]

the irony of 3 loners being together

[steady yarrow]

Does anyone use the Dueling Sword V over dueling sword IV? Melk has a pretty good one i'm thinking of picking up

[hexed geyser]

I don't think there's any reason for it at the moment, maybe if they buff it in the future?

[steady yarrow]

ah yea, hard to beat heavy stab

[rigid sky]

Slightly longer dodges I think

if you want just pure mobility it's the one

but you lose the actual fighting ability

[hexed geyser]

If you want pure mobility instead of damage you take a knife

[steady yarrow]

One more, if you guys are running a voidstrike with surge and nexus, do you use maniac/flak modifiers or maniac/crit chance?

I'm running true aim also

[austere crest]

ynow thats fair, 3 fail, 4 win yeah

[untold niche]

anyone bought it?

[patent wing]

looks like a childs toy

[untold niche]

maybe due to my render being bad

[gloomy magnet]

i bought

finnally new staff skin 🥹🥹🥹

tho im a gunker

[rigid sky]

Any of those, also Carapace is sometimes a good pick iirc

[rigid sky]

Imagine not being weaponfluid in 42024

[gloomy magnet]

lmao

i play ogryn more recently

im rejectfluid

[untold niche]

anyone's minigame broken?
idk is because of which mod :v

also emperor's gift getting eaten up. (either level up one or the finish mission one)

[upper sun]

whats the worst possible blessing/perk to have on a DS4?

[orchid shadow]

PowerDI mod is interesting. Anyone know how something like the Combat Ability Regen is calculated? I get the Gunner Resistance being 3, as I took 69 damage all game from them, but Ability CDR just says.. 3.. like.. 3 times it was activated? That doesn't make sense.

[paper lily]

those are buffs that are applied

meaning you have 3 of them

curios with the mod, that is

[upper sun]

someone posted about the formula for ability regen in the forum

[orchid shadow]

Ohhhhh

Derp. Okay, that makes sense then. Me domb.

[paper lily]

the mod currently does not have functionality for meta analysis, just mostly raw data

so the closest approximation you can see to how much it's helping your build is total combat ability usage over session duration

[spark crystal]

I occasionally buy cosmetics mostly to support the game. The irony here is that i forgot after so much time practicing each staff, ridiculing the wayward wizards that steal ammo and cast volley of lead........... I am currently a Gun Psyker main .__.

[untold niche]

its prob 3 seconds if you run x3 cdr (guess who runs that :p)

[untold niche]

its okeh just imagine you don't have a gun like 90% of pub gunpsykers

[spark crystal]

Most of them dont have a gun because they spray-and-pray the first 10 seconds out the gate and have no ammo left bahahahaha. My friends tortured me last night by making me go through the melee scab faction no ammo auric maelstrom. I agreed as long as there was at least 1 ammo gen vet for SOME gunfire. At the end of the day tho it was like 500 enemies killed with the gawd damn deimos with +25% to carapace. My finger flared up like i was trying to play a knife bleed zealot 🤣 🤣 🤣

[untold niche]

ah yes armour mael
thats why 4x psyker is 10 times stronger

[spark crystal]

I was just finding it hilarious two uncharged heavies of the deimos to the head was knocking crushers on their ass while the crucius thunder hammer gets stuck in their gut like mud lol.

The other 3 on our team were Vet ( plasma rifle, shield shout, krak nades, ammo gen, mark) // Ogryn (kickback/club, bullrush, rocks, melee keystone) // Zealot ( MkX Las Pistol / Eviscer, cross, immolation nade, crits)

I changed nothing about my gun psyker build so i was obviously the worst CC but i still put in work. If scrier's gaze is not active (or only recently activated) small pushes and force pushes between attack flurries can really hold quite a few things back for a while.

I think the patch that allowed you to cancel out of force sword and eviscerator special attacks was a god send to those weapons.

[orchid shadow]

Getting the Ability down to 12 seconds is worth it to me. I was more interested in figuring out what "3" meant. I didn't occur to me that it was just tracking how many of the perks I had. Not the most useful of information.

[untold niche]

zealot jsut need to go CIAG and then you have a pub zealot and vet
I hate pub vets tho :v

[spark crystal]

Ironic you said this, because id actually been wanting a win in armor mael that did NOT have so many trauma and surge palpatine psykers coming out of the wood work lol. Always felt like a dirty win. So im glad to finally have it 😄

CC is an important part of the game but sometimes too much of it softens the rush of playing dance dance revolution with 2 crushers and 6 maulers.

I nearly exclusively play Auric T5 Hi-Int Stg. Ive noticed a weird change in the amount of them in recent weeks though. Its almost as if they reduced the liklihood that stg appears. The fact taht sometimes there are NO STGs on the auric page baffles and annoys me lol.

Why would the "hard mode page" randomly include as low as zero hardest mode modifiers lol.

[paper lily]

not sure what you mean by that, 3x cdr mods will shave roughly 3 seconds off your cd making it 27s for an average 30s cd

[orchid shadow]

I meant in addition to the CDR from Warp Charges And Seer's, I can hit 12 seconds.

[heady perch]

best 1.5mil of my life

such a gorgeous recolour

[silk vigil]

I’ve honestly just been rocking the mortis psyker skin with the witchshroud headpiece.

The silly little squares have grown on me.

Got it for free so that’s always a plus too.

[untold niche]

u shuld exclusively play a5mael
dats the only way

[heady perch]

time to unlock every other outfit as im out of things to spend dockets on

[untold niche]

get god roll on all the weapons you should get a godroll on

[upper sun]

same ill be fucked if i ever do hounds or vent

theyre harder and less dockets

[ivory path]

Siblings, I need an interesting build to try

need a break from surge staff

[upper sun]

purge?

[compact bluff]

gun

[hollow current]

I don't mind those missions.

But I also hop on a box and assail the shit out of the dogs.

[heady perch]

i got weapons im comfortable with that function well on damnation auric maelstrom

[upper sun]

how am i supposed to play vent without a lasgun?

[heady perch]

only thing i could really chase is perfect trinkets

[upper sun]

theres a reason those are 90% vets

[spark crystal]

I find them easier. Vents and blackouts reduce a lot of gunner attacks. Snipers are not difficult to dodge & brainburst.

Dogs are fine if team understands how to fight them.

[upper sun]

yeah dogs are ok but if im already queuing up why should i go for less dockets for what is about the same difficulty?

vents tho never ever

[ivory path]

Could I utilize this in a gun psy build?

[upper sun]

i would change ranged crit damage to flak

[spark crystal]

I have 18 million dockets, 170,000 plasteel, etc, etc ... its rare i care about anything besides being challenged lol. If there is a random weapon i want, i can throw resources at it to get a reasonable outcome.

[upper sun]

wellll i'm broke

[ivory path]

lol

[hollow current]

Just run +dockets until you hit the cap. 🤠

[upper sun]

and so far i have 1+.5+.5 builds im happy with

theres a docket cap? wut

[hollow current]

25mil.

[upper sun]

lol

FS is cooking something thats for sure

why else would they limit it?

[upper sun]

damn

[ivory path]

https://tenor.com/view/poor-gif-23166194

[hollow current]

used to be 5mil per character iirc then they made it 25 when they made materials/dockets account wide

[ivory path]

Auric damnation quick play the fastest way to grind mats?

[upper sun]

so that translates into 10 good profanes and 2 god rolls right?

[hollow current]

Maybe regular damnation quicklplay? But the quality of players there might be not as good. The amount of material is the same tho.

For cash though, Auric does more for sure.

[upper sun]

thats the issue

[ivory path]

dont you get more ordo dockets from auric as well?

[upper sun]

imo auric damnation is easier than regular because of the players

[hollow current]

Yeah, if you need dockets and plasteel then auric is the way to go.

[ivory path]

I need it all

[upper sun]

the worst advice i've ever gotten was grinding malice to get plasteel

thanks realasianrobot :)))))))))

[frail harness]

These stats are right for blaze trauma, right? never tried it before

[hollow current]

[upper sun]

even if you lose an auric game the rewards from a loss are about the same if not more than malice

[untold niche]

i thought minigame was broken uintil i realized somehow they jsut don't let y ou use left click anymore, have ot press E

[frail harness]

people ususally run warp siphon for blaze trauma?

Yeah I guess that's pretty obvious

[upper sun]

doesnt doding also work?

[spark crystal]

Malice maps are too bright.

[untold niche]

doding?

[upper sun]

yeah dodging backwords from the mini game?

to break out

[untold niche]

no i meant to click the correct ansewr

[upper sun]

ah

i usually try to get my team to do them too much pressure

and once i got one where they were all in the same fucking row

[spark crystal]

From all the blue medicae lights that are still lit up at end of the mission. 😏 🤣

[upper sun]

as if anyone would use medicae when you can drop a one person medipack

i committed suicide after this to smoke a cig only way to finish the game

[spark crystal]

I told a pub group the zealot was banned from holding healing tools for the rest of the match when they dropped medpak near medicae lolol. I would regularly pull out my medpak and show it to them for the rest of match to emphasize where not to put it 🤣

[upper sun]

like what people dont understand is that health is a resource every single end point has a 4x station

reaching that point with 6 wounds or zero wounds is the same

also using one when everyone has wounds kinda useless

[spark crystal]

I had a vet in auric try to cure death-corruption with medpak talent. Fatshark says: "gottem 😄 "

[upper sun]

nooooo

bro that shit shreds medipacks if someone has the audacity to carry a grim

[spark crystal]

Pub picked up a grim and i said 2 things.

1. Its rude to grab grims in pubs without asking the team first.

2. I dont mind if u hold onto it but, im a two-wound gun psyker and i'll not hear you complain if i 1-down casualty over this later.

He pulled out the book and disintegrated it 😆

[upper sun]

yeah i got stuck with a grim resistance and helps a lot in that case but 99% of the time its a wasted stat

[untold niche]

Some weapons only hit certain breakpoints with god rolls
i know grenade gauntlet is one

i guess you could try those weapons that feel shitty to play without god rolls

[upper sun]

im not touch auric maelstrom without a good void or truama

my poor little surge did nothing to stop the 10 crushers that bum rushed me last time i tried it

[untold niche]

surge is smite staff or fire staff

[heady perch]

tbh i just build with what feels good

[upper sun]

smite staff

fire wouldnt work well either

i mean it would work assuming my team deals with the crushers a bit or i manage to pull some shit like the guy with the music vidoes does (I wont)

[spark crystal]

Can kill a crusher in 2-4 face stabs of my deimos. Second stab generally knocks them over at least. Death or cc, crusher's choice.

I would like to hope your team is assisting with an elite ball tho

Kinda a high priority.

[feral verge]

purga can delete crushers

if you have a weapon with uncanny strike

best way is to run deimos with uncanny strike + executor

uncanny strike will give rending to soulblaze, executor will boost soulblaze damage

[upper sun]

truama is a lot safer tho

[spark crystal]

Trauma*
And true.

[feral verge]

not disputing that

just saying purga staff can do it very well

[upper sun]

eh i just bricked 4 ds4s today i think im gonna avoid auric mael until i get a good enough melee for my purge

[mighty cipher]

They removed that recently.

[feral verge]

they absoutely did not

i tested it

still works

you are thinking of something else

[upper sun]

its removed for assail

[mighty cipher]

So it was blitzes only?

That’s a shame

[upper sun]

no for ranged

[spice veldt]

projectiles only

still the same for DoTs

[lyric burrow]

yeah soulblaze still works

assail does not

[upper sun]

soulblaze is an on hit effect so is the armor reduction from uncanny

[untold niche]

hey arco, can you still door bosses?
i asked in zealot chats too but no one replied me

[spice veldt]

i saw someone do it around a month or so ago so probably

[spark crystal]

I enjoy trauma but the damage spike i can get to delete gunners, ragers, reapers, specials on the run n' gun psyker style is addicting. And i can still solo a couple crushers in melee if i need to.

[untold niche]

whats the timing? i closed the door on a bon and it just opened back up

[spice veldt]

who knows if they've ninja changed it recently though

[untold niche]

like the door actually closed on a bon

does it need to be at his pimple, or head or etc

[paper harbor]

Once time BoN break the checkpoint door

[rigid sky]

Had a Zealot in our game today that managed to start the mid event on Excise Vault while we were still clearing the second room

It was actually pretty impressive. Then we kicked them :)

That's the knife zealot that everyone memes about I guess, got to see them in the flesh for the first time today

In other news Excise Vault needs checkpoint doors

[silk vigil]

memes exist for a reason.

[rigid sky]

It's like I met a cryptid

[worn beacon]

By the way, what's DS4? Dueling Sword mark IV?

[rigid sky]

That's the one

[upper sun]

ye

[rigid sky]

It's one of the psyker's holy trinity

[upper sun]

the poke poke one not the poke slice one

[rigid sky]

DS4, deimos, illisi

you can 1-shot a mutant with the first two, and the Illisi is just a horde devourer

[worn beacon]

Can you?

I know certain tultosky sword can oneshot mutants with heavy reliably

[upper sun]

press button to save clip
get mutied into dying in the 1 second i stop moving

[paper harbor]

Kek

[upper sun]

update the 2 surviving teammates chose to no longer survive

[radiant frigate]

actually, illisi can also oneshot mutants on occasion

[bold badger]

yep, do it all the time with enough peril, charge and weakspot hit

[upper sun]

@austere crest BB IS BUGGED FUCK

i got out sniped

[spark crystal]

@upper sun Might be about time to see if the qp teammates want to survive or not on my end.
locks in the next mag with a resounding click

What did you mean BB is bugged btw lol ?

[worn beacon]

Looks nice

Idk sounds funny how only psyker has access to capes

[austere crest]

do you hve a clip?

[rigid sky]

Under what conditions? Does it take a crit?

I think I can get it to happen quite reliably with some DD stacks

maybe takes DD + SG

but I don't know if you can just pull the Illisi out and reliably cut a mutant down

[feral verge]

unstable power + warp rider at 80% peril + maniac dmg + 6 warp charges

will 1 shot muties everytime with a headshot

[bold badger]

yep

[upper sun]

I recorded a clip of a bug after that lemme see if its in this one

[upper sun]

didnt click when at full

nope didnt recorded but I have one elevator open from both sides

[feral verge]

josho cant open a plastic bag containing granola

it's really pathetic

[austere crest]

yeah someone broke the door in hl70, its very neat

dangit

trying to gather clips from others to use ina. abug report

[spark crystal]

I've seen the open door recently also.

Kinda made me think it'd be an amusing addition to have mutants able to smash through the door and pull a last ditch small horde after the team on the doors that are just airlock passthroughs and not actual elevators.

[upper sun]

adding depth would just complicate the map its easier to make it as a long dungon with the illusion of depth

fucking hell i just spent my sunday bricking 5 different 371+ ds4s

i feel like id win more if i went to a casino

[spark crystal]

You are winning at darktide weapons exactly the same as you win at the casino.
lose, lose, lose, omg i won (371+), omg i won (+25% relevant perk), HOLY SHIT IM ON A ROLL (T4 relevant blessing)... OH BABY IM ALL-IN, LADY LUCK IS ON MY SIDE, lose (net loss for the night and you go home).

[upper sun]

i just want something with one usable perk 😢

i think im just gonna settle for the stamina one assuming it gets uncanny

[spark crystal]

Id prefer not to see things like the current x3 blackout missions ...

[tacit cargo]

gotta choose between unarmored and infested to get rid of one of my illisi for maniac

what do i go for?

[spark crystal]

Blackouts destroy my ability to enjoy the map visuals and reduces interaction with ranged enemies. Very bleh for me.

[upper sun]

infested is useless

[spark crystal]

@tacit cargo id drop infest prolly. Unarmored more useful.

[upper sun]

unarmored applies to more

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/enemies?armor=unarmored

ok this isnt entirely correct you have to click the enemy to see the part by part armor

[lapis violet]

zealots technically also do

just not big capes like that one

[heady perch]

anything to change boys?

[upper sun]

I would say keep looking you really need flurry+nexus+flak last perk is either unyielding or crit chance or maybe even maniac anything you can get

[worn beacon]

Psyker cape superior

[heady perch]

gotcha thanks

[upper sun]

also burn at minimum 76 and cloud radius as high as possible

[heady perch]

but for now til i get a better one its okay right?

i just lack a better one atm

[upper sun]

yeah its usable

ive seen some people willingly run barrage but idk

[fresh reef]

Gamers, give me a non-gun build to run

I'm bored of winning with my usual staves

[upper sun]

recon mark 7 axe with assail EP and bubble

[feral verge]

terriying barrage is useless

swap it for warp flurry

sprint eff to flak damage

ideal purga

crit chance can be swapped for maniac damage

both are good

[upper sun]

he already has a mod for nexus i say keep it until he gets something better no reason to refine it

[feral verge]

i meant to say warp flurry

[heady perch]

done

[upper sun]

yeah purge isnt too hard to build anyways no harm in trying again

[heady perch]

grr grr melk give me a better staff when u reset

[upper sun]

no you get 6 axes

[heady perch]

the joke's on you

i like axes :)

[upper sun]

you now get recons

[feral verge]

https://tenor.com/view/were-done-when-i-say-were-done-walter-white-threat-breaking-bad-get-it-right-gif-5547771

@lunar hollow

[paper harbor]

I have recon

On my psyker

With warp charge go kill

[mighty cipher]

No shot Wildfire BR becomes Meta right?

[paper harbor]

Whats BR?

[paper lily]

brain rupture

[lapis violet]

better to have a staff in lower levels or to just go with the best gun i have?

[paper lily]

staves feel shit without good blessings

[lapis violet]

peestol it is, then

i heard there's an objectively bad combat axe?

which one would that be?

[worn beacon]

How do I raise rating of my weapons?

I am still kinda not sure

[lapis violet]

rating means the combined rating of its stats (1%=1 rating), perks (1 pip=5 rating) and blessings (1 level=10 rating). raising just ther rating means nothing. get stronger perks and blessings, roll for better weapons...

[upper sun]

you cant increase the base rating you can get modifiers when you upgrade them and you can only change 2 out of the 4 modifiers you get

however dont bother upgrading weapons until you get to 30

[idle mesa]

Hey guys could someone tell me how to create that strong build with the voidstrike force staff?

[rigid sky]

Achlys mark VIII is the bad one

[upper sun]

you mean to one shot crushers?

[rigid sky]

Which one? Generally you want Nexus/Surge, Nexus/Flurry or Transfer/Flurry

If you mean talents then there's a bunch of options, it's quite freeform

I like Shriek (flames), Disrupt Destiny and Assail with an Illisi personally

Take the 30s duration Disrupt

But you could do warp charges too

[idle mesa]

I mean yes? I never really looked into it but I remember seeing pysker just destroying everything with that staff, is related to staff blessings or do I have to put something specific into the abilities as well?

[dim parrot]

[upper sun]

its mostly the staff if you build surge nexus talents help with extra crit chance

[rigid sky]

Disrupt Destiny makes you a lot stronger with it too

1-shot mutants

[idle mesa]

Okay so what blessings should I put on the staff?

[rigid sky]

I just told you your options lol

[idle mesa]

Oh okay

[rigid sky]

But surge/Nexus is the nuke staff

[upper sun]

i would say find a good staff first then upgrade it then see what paths you can take with what you get

[rigid sky]

Nexus/flurry is consistent damage

[radiant frigate]

the only thing we disagree on is assail vs brain burst

curious

[rigid sky]

Flurry/transfer is never ending spam

[idle mesa]

I think I'll go with nuke staff

[rigid sky]

Either option is good. Also smite.

Assail just gets crazy with Disrupt destiny

[upper sun]

if you already have void staff i dont think theres a need for bb

[rigid sky]

And voidstrike nukes single targets so hard brain rupture feels a bit redundant

[radiant frigate]

i do, boss damage

[idle mesa]

Thanks for the help

[radiant frigate]

granted i almost only bring it out for bosses with resonance after pressing f

but still

it does that rather well

[upper sun]

now that sounds like a zealot problem

[rigid sky]

I like to be able to mow down dispersed shooters with assail

[radiant frigate]

as in, the zealots i am with not instakilling them?

[rigid sky]

But Shriek does it too tbh

[upper sun]

zealots are just for boss damage and to be crusher bait

[radiant frigate]

shriek is Very Balanced™

"fuck everything in this general direction"

[rigid sky]

Also walls are a lie :)

[radiant frigate]

Yes

though i think that, even withotu flame shriek, i might still pick it

almost certain in fact

if it doesn't save me, it might still svae a teammate getting dogged behind LoS

shriek can reach them

nothing else can

though i suppose it's not so much "saving me" as it is "knowing i can get one more cast and press f"

[upper sun]

its always on cooldown when you fuck up thats the real downside

[dim parrot]

true

[upper sun]

after i changed my health perks on my curios to cooldown that fixed it

[dim parrot]

and then u try sg and never look back

[upper sun]

trick is to keep hammering F while youre dying so it comes off cd at the last second

[radiant frigate]

Real

[radiant frigate]

also Real

when you make an oopsie and desperately watch the countdown hoping for it to hit zero before you explode

[upper sun]

purge is a very chill staff no risk of over doing it with it

though with surge i get in the zone and start walking through enemy lines kill stuff until i kill myself last

[cold geode]

i wish they'd pump the damage just a touch on it though, its really low compared to everything else

[upper sun]

on what?

[cold geode]

purge

[upper sun]

nah purge is fine

you just really need flak for it

[rigid sky]

Talk to @feral verge about that lol

[cold geode]

its a shadow of what it was before the fire nerf pre-patch 13

[rigid sky]

He always goes on about his regular 1mil Purg games

[upper sun]

it has one of the most spamable staggers in the game

melts most enemies really quick too

[rigid sky]

Apparently strong interaction with Uncanny Strike on melee

[cold geode]

interesting

[upper sun]

pretty much everything except crushers

[rigid sky]

Best weapon to take with Warp Siphon probably

[cold geode]

i think ive just been playing the game so long that i remember what purge was before the buff to flak enemies and the nerf to fire across the board

[rigid sky]

Voices: "go on. Do another assail. You probably won't die. :)"

[cold geode]

when fire actually DID melt everything but carpo

[rigid sky]

Yeah, it did used to be even dumber

Also had that interaction with ascending blaze

[cold geode]

ye

[rigid sky]

Which now got split into a bunch of other things

[upper sun]

only crusher has base armor as carap

[dim parrot]

It do be like that, but if u generally get better with managing peril its the more fun way to play imo

[upper sun]

it has similar needs to surge

[rigid sky]

Oh I totally agree

[upper sun]

surge doesnt target parts it targets the main body

[rigid sky]

Dying is fun lol

[dim parrot]

pls buff surge

[upper sun]

we need martyer for psyker

[rigid sky]

Scrier's Gaze + Disrupt Destiny gunker = fuck playing veteran tbh

[upper sun]

just delete DD fuck gunkers give us suicidkers

[dim parrot]

and then u dont play with a gun because you're crazy

[rigid sky]

The voices in my head say they don't like you

[upper sun]

dont listen to the voices

[dim parrot]

sometimes do listen

[upper sun]

im just telling you to die in glory

[dim parrot]

they give good advice

[rigid sky]

"Go on, Shriek the dog off of your friend, they'll all love you for it, even that Daemonhost sitting just past the wall there will"

[radiant frigate]

surge is a fickle mistress

[dim parrot]

a what

[radiant frigate]

it seems we play veteran for different reasons

[rigid sky]

"Sure, bringing a weapon you haven't played in a month along to Auric maelstrom is a fantastic idea"

[worn beacon]

I meant

[radiant frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/cackling-evil-laugh-witch-creeping-gif-5632950

[worn beacon]

how do I get higher rating weapons from brant

[cold geode]

luv me gun psyker

[rigid sky]

Oh my sweet summer child

[dim parrot]

punch him in the chin

[upper sun]

stay up all night

[rigid sky]

How many dockets do you have to burn :)

[upper sun]

get lucky

[dim parrot]

have a shit ton of money ye

[rigid sky]

How strong is your faith in the immortal god-emperor of all Mankind?

[dim parrot]

then u eventually get something good(not guaranteed)

[upper sun]

ive been grinding plasteel all sunday just to brick 6 ds4s

so VERY STRONG

[worn beacon]

So basically

Hope brunt gives up good weapons

[rigid sky]

Pictured: Mankind https://images.app.goo.gl/MYLt1mvP2AgkyGwp9

Looking up at God-Emperor

[upper sun]

yes but also sometimes you get good stuff in the normal store too

[rigid sky]

Brunt is the brute force method

[upper sun]

i got like 10 really good illisis from the store AND NOTHING ELSE

[dim parrot]

relatable, getting good illisis isn't the hardest

still want to farm for a 2 handed force sword

[worn beacon]

Is it just me or game is extra bitchy by not letting me in

[upper sun]

force daggers

[upper sun]

nope today nothing

[worn beacon]

I just had

6 consecutive disconnections

[dim parrot]

gimme a 2 handed forced sword with a similar attack pattern to illisi

[upper sun]

damn how much clear do you want?

[worn beacon]

Oh boy I did just get a 353 rating deimos while having only a 320 one

Lucky me

[idle mesa]

@rigid sky okay I just got nexus 4 and surge 4. And a 372 profane voidstrike staff. You think it will be a strong staff with those blessings on?

[rigid sky]

Stat distribution?

It will depend on whether hadron decides to bless it or take a shit on it

[idle mesa]

64 damage, 74 charge rate, 76 blast radius, 79 warp resistance, 79 quell speed

[rigid sky]

Oh god why is damage the dump :(

Unfortunate

You want damage and charge rate maximised, then quell speed. Rest matters less

[idle mesa]

Oh so not good? Now max rate is 517, on secondary action say it does 650 damage

I have another with 79 damage

[rigid sky]

Charge rate?

[idle mesa]

79

Quell speed is 30

[rigid sky]

If the rest of the stats aren't awful that's probably the one to

[rigid sky]

OK nvm

Maybe could work as a transfer/flurry staff

Isn't crafting weapons fun

[idle mesa]

Can I even get a roll with 100% something?

[hexed geyser]

80 is the max

[rigid sky]

Nope, 0-80

And a maximum total of 380

[idle mesa]

Oh good to know

[rigid sky]

Meaning something like 80 80 80 80 60

You can't get a magic 80x5

[hexed geyser]

They should change that. Imagine the grind to get all the new weapons

[idle mesa]

What should be the dump statistic in the nuke voidstrike staff?

[worn beacon]

Wonder why they couldn't take vermintide system

It's honestly less frustrating

[idle mesa]

Ugh I got one that does 666 damage on secondary action

[rigid sky]

Blast radius and Warp Resistance are less important

Damage and charge rate very important

Quell speed middling

[idle mesa]

I got another with 72 damage, 80 charge rate, 76 blast radius, 79 warp resistance, 61 quell speed

Ohh

[rigid sky]

Not bad

[idle mesa]

I got a 80 damage and 80 charge rate. 72 blast radius, 72 warp resistance but 53 quell speed

[rigid sky]

Tbh I'd hit it

Good starter staff until you find one better

Hadron is more likely to wreck it than bless it anyway

[idle mesa]

I mean I have 9, 363, 429 coins, I could continue rolling but thing is I don't really know when is really good , so I'dve taken even the 372 profane one, the one with the 80 damage and charge rate is 353, doesn't it mean higher rate better the weapon?

[rigid sky]

Depends on the weapon

Like you could have a purgatus be perfect with 0 (zero!) damage, 76 burn, 80 cloud, and whatever warp res and quell speed

But a Trauma needs damage, blast radius and charge rate all as close to 80 as possible (then whatever warp resistance and quell)

And ultimately you rely on Hadron to not be an arsehole

[idle mesa]

I got another with 80 damage and 79 charge rate, 64 blast radius, 78 warp resistance, 68 quell speed. Should I go for this or the 80, 80 one?

[rigid sky]

This new one sounds best

But seriously start consecrating

Don't get your heart set on any individual one of them

Or Hadron will break your heart

[idle mesa]

But isn't the core thing the blessings? I can change those

Okay so on it she gave me 8 ranged critical hit damage and 20 damage to unarmored enemies but I have to change both blessings

[rigid sky]

Blessings and perks all matter

You can only change 2/4

So you better hope at least 2 are passable

Crit damage is sadly pretty shit

Unarmoured might be OK but I think Void tends to 1-shot that easy enough without help

[idle mesa]

I'll stick with this 530 void staff see how it goes

[torpid girder]

thoughts on assail vs brain burst for a soulblaze trauma build?

i've been thinking of running it since my most common downs on psyker were ranged hordes

[potent echo]

Assail will help sort out ranged troops

But you lose psykinetics aura

So it's a tradeoff

[sullen sphinx]

I prefer Smite to lock them down

[potent echo]

Smite could be good but the inability to target what you want might cause alot of issues

And smite trauma doesn't make much sense

If you are in smiting range you are in trauma range

[cinder moon]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-sheev-palpatine-unlimited-power-power-force-gif-5073064

[sullen sphinx]

True, but if they are too spread out, quick Smite will knock them down for you to Trauma without problems

[wind spruce]

Smite is an absolutely brain dead pick with trauma

[cosmic sigil]

Oh Hi Irosk

people shoud just take br with trauma

[vague musk]

how?

also, does anyone know whats a good ranged gun? im trying to finish an auric mission but every time i always die to gunners and reapers

[cinder moon]

battle meditation, soulblaze, and hunting grounds

as for your other question, as much as i like gunker, i like using voidstrike on my main gunker build even more

i have a god-tier laspistol that i almost never touch

[brave fiber]

a shame its a mk5 instead of a mk4

[vague musk]

hows this? sadly out of plasteel for any more modifications

[cinder moon]

good start

probably get bricked but nbd since it's 350 base

my voidstrike

my main gunker build is essentially full brain burst spec and i only ever touch blitz for killing trappers/snipers that are otherwise unkillable

melee and ranged proc it enough on random hits, plus the node that makes elite kills generate soulblaze

[cosmic sigil]

zarona with surgical handcannon / colomnus infantry autogun or agri infantry

with dumdum + whatever

might want to take a force sword with deflector

[wind spruce]

Hey man!

Those games last night were a mess haha

[paper harbor]

I doubt using assail

[potent echo]

Assail moment

[paper harbor]

I wanna try out but I have bad feeling

[cosmic sigil]

indeed, that went better with a bit of overshield

i love how the two voids just stun locked the plogryn so that i could magdump my plasma

easiest boss fight ever

[paper harbor]

Voidstrike staff can stun lock plague ogryn?

How?

Shoot on their head?

[vague musk]

[cinder moon]

[cosmic sigil]

yes, it was funny to see

@lunar hollow has a video of void stunlocking a plogryn

[paper harbor]

Like I remember the rumbler can stun lock bosses

Even flesh bag

[feral knoll]

Peril? Never heard of it

[vague musk]

i wish you could save tallent sets

[paper harbor]

There is loadout button on top corner right in operative

[vague musk]

which one do yall think is better

[feral knoll]

Guaranteed on elite

[paper harbor]

That 12.5% is bad?

[vague musk]

is there a quell on weakspot kill that im missing?

[paper harbor]

The battle meditation

[feral knoll]

I honestly don’t know what happened. Did I just get stupidly lucky and get the “quell 10% on kill” everytime?

Oh right there is one on DD too that I took

[orchid shadow]

I'd use 12.5% if using Smite. If you're using BB or assail, you're better off with Elite.

[paper harbor]

Okay

[vague musk]

smite doesnt seem that good with empowred ngl

[feral knoll]

I like to get empowered before I use smite

But chances are if you take smite you probably might take bubble so warp charge is decent too

[vague musk]

warp has been my go to with smite

[torpid girder]

i just run warp charges and shriek with brain burst and soulblaze trauma cuz im basic

i've been considering trying out assail thoo

[orchid shadow]

It's.... okay-ish? But Warp Charges is better in the longrun as you get peril reduction, but you have to rebuild stacks if you run Vent. You don't have to lose stacks with EP, but you now run the risk of wasting charges if you have to break smite for any reason. Which is not good if you quickfire smite with LMB

[paper harbor]

I got 6th loadout of assail havent touch it

[feral knoll]

I lowkey like assail in a gunker build so I can take revolver

[paper harbor]

I would try use warp charge on assail

Rather the DD

[untold niche]

Assail and volvo most common options for gunker yes

In their slot

[cinder moon]

wildfire venting shriek EP smite with surge staff is ultimate force lightning build

[untold niche]

Have you seen I think arcos or is it pygex video
Ep smite, don't even need surge

But that got patched

Orc

Ofc.

[cinder moon]

original ep smite was funny, i spent more than a few matches sliding everywhere while smiting the whole time

but my surge smite build is great for CCing literally everything and hard carrying terrible team comps like 3 shotgun zealots

[cinder moon]

just look at this crowd melting 😂

[untold niche]

I'm biased against surge :v
Single point damage. Might as well run blaze trauma or void

[cinder moon]

i haven't touched any of my meta builds in weeks

zapping everything is too fun

[untold niche]

Oh ya. Surge can do the blitz cancel too

[mental grail]

siblings

How many wounds are you running with?

[cinder moon]

2

the emperor protects

[untold niche]

I run one 3x stamina and two toughness

[mental grail]

Both of you are insane

[untold niche]

If its meant to be ( I.e. God dropping you a poxburster twice) it's meant to be.

I rather have easier time while I'm alive

[mental grail]

"the emperor protects"

[untold niche]

Than possibly stay laive longer

[mental grail]

with one wound he fuckin has to

[untold niche]

You being able to go down one more time doesn't mean your team can revive you

[mental grail]

how do you not crumple when the director pulls a horde out its ass?

[untold niche]

Because I have 20 more toughness ezpz

[mental grail]

wow

[cinder moon]

don't get hit

[mental grail]

I am fucking dogshit lmao

[untold niche]

Shrimple as that

[mental grail]

you people are mad

[orchid shadow]

Shouldn't need to be running any Wound curios. As squishy as we are, Psykers should be taking the least amount of damage in a mission.

[cinder moon]

learn to position yourself so mutie throws work in your favor

[untold niche]

To answer this seriously. Do you mean regular zombie horde or mixed horde

[mental grail]

Mixed

Director has been wold all week

[untold niche]

Uh I will say build dependent

What build are you running

[mental grail]

I'm regularly getting mixed specials/elites in my hordes

[mental grail]

ciag gunker/voidstrike smite

either or

[cinder moon]

if you're having trouble with mixed hordes while running smite and voidstrike, idk man

[untold niche]

OK. In terms of voidstike because I played voidstrike exclusively...

Uh.

[mental grail]

I'm not having trouble per say, but one wound still sounds crazy

[untold niche]

I think your build has issues.

Because

Void shoots through bulwaeks

2 tap half charge rager

Potential 1 tap crusher

[cinder moon]

voidstrike and smite both will handle mixed hordes well enough on their own, though smite needs teammates to help/venting shriek

[mental grail]

Void is my self sufficient build

[untold niche]

So like yuh :v

[spice veldt]

if you can't dps check stuff, running around will prob help

[untold niche]

With void I facetank everything

If the crusher OH me I facetank that and he dies just before he hits me

Ezpz

[spice veldt]

some spots are sketchy when the director decides to spawn hordes from both directions in a corridor and elites/specials are mixed in
if nothing else, you can run a trauma instead to eliminate any need for kiting

[untold niche]

Void doesn't need to kite but you need to position where you are when the fights starts because you ain't going move much from then on.
Then just limit test. Void has insane capabilities.

[urban sandal]

trauma staff munches on mixed hordes for breakfast so if that's your issue I'd suggest trying it

[mental grail]

psyker chat genuinely helpful as per usual

I will take this into consideration

[untold niche]

No no continue ur void

Void is gud

Just limit test

Trust

Also share your void build

[mental grail]

When ppl see void/smite they complain in chat

[cinder moon]

get surge on your void if you don't have it

[untold niche]

I never had that. But I assume that's because pub void are suckers that explode

[untold niche]

I think nexus flurry is alright tbh.

[mental grail]

let me open darktide

[untold niche]

No no
