And the game is just funny man

#

i think just an issue with how i have high standards/expectations of stuff now i guess.
think one thing i don't like is i find the movement to be a downgrade from hd1, or maybe im just not good at it. Also weird sometime you can do the 180* dive sometime you can't

Why is it funny to you? like the team kills?

Just the game gives lots of funny moments

i suppose, yeah

I think Deimos is even stronger on the H2 but a bit slower

Why can't I tape a purg staff to my Deimos 😔

Yeah, the single-target melee choices mostly favour being paired with an a antihorde ranged

illisi my beloved

#

i think deimos attack patterns are more satisfying

untold niche

bb shriek voidstrike dd

#

purg also mostly operates at illisi distance so that's complete overlap

untold niche
#

but why not do qq swap

radiant frigate
#

gaze would very much interfere with illisi

untold niche
#

why BB, with smite you can do a quick stagger and go back to melee

radiant frigate
#

i can also do a quick stagger with my pushes

untold niche
#

wouldn't smite staff be better instead of void because the thresholds are easier to meet?

#

afaik

#

just curious, im not saying its actually better

radiant frigate
#

i have tried surge + assail too

#

and i found that, together, those two do what voidstrike does

#

except they take more time, whereas with void i can just bring it out, fire off a surge doublecrit and return to melee

#

still on the fence about surge blazing spirit voidstrike

#

it could potentially make for somewhat improved boss damage

#

say you shoot a boss with a doublecrit and stack it to the blazing spirit maximum of 6

#

and follow up with shriek + bb barrage

#

12 stacks potentially painful

#

will test later

untold niche
#

in my mind, if you are going for melee primariliy,
surge to take out far enemies fast ( might be hard to do with assail consistently due to it needing buffs, but idk i don't play assail)
And then smite for your aoe special butt fall stagger. cuase to my knowledge illisi only butt fall single target on push attack

radiant frigate
#

very possible

untold niche
#

personally i never build for boss damage, just feel like its unneeded

mental rock
#

I would avoid surge blessing without nexus as your main source of Crit will then be true aim, which is nice but I feel insufficient on it's own

radiant frigate

but i don't usually need that level of stagger

I do have Surge

I like Warp Flurry more because faster charge speed feels so much nicer to play

Flurry makes it more of a main weapon imo

Surge / Nexus works well with Assail for trash

But if I was using Void for everything I would go flurry/Nexus I think

The more I think about it the less I like Flurry/Transfer though

rigid sky
#

It's a fix that is effectively a buff lol

near wyvern
# brave fiber how did they buff bb again?

After cast animation lock went from 1.0 seconds to 0.6 seconds and kinetic resonance & empowered psionics now properly apply their buffs. EP description is a lie tho. It says "50% less time" but it's actually +50% charge rate, so 1 - 1/1.5 = 33% less time. They also now stack properly so if you have resonance and EP both active you have 225% charge rate so around 56% less time used per cast.

near wyvern
brave fiber
#

honestly I just think bb should be able to do bonus damage to unarmored and unyielding enemies, would make it a pretty good option against ogryns and monstrosities

#

also just makes sense

#

overall tho psyker blitzes need to be better at high levels

near wyvern
brave fiber
#

forgor

#

for some reason I thought gunners don’t get one shot

#

It’s been a while

#

still I do think bb should be a good ranged unyielding option

#

*better unyielding option

near wyvern
#

What BB really needs is it should allow on kill talents to proc whenever the target you are casting it on dies, no matter who killed it.

So things like perilous combustion, psycinetics aura, warp siphon charges, EP stack gain, DD stack gain.

It still happens annoyingly often that when you try to BB a target (especially without kinetic resonance) someone else kills it and this can happen multiple times in a row, making you simply waste time. If it did proc on kill effects at least you would gain something.

Also RMB needs to charge at the same rate as LMB FFS.

brave fiber
#

true

#

I like bb as a way to deal with scary things behind cover or at long ranges safely

#

Which I think they should lean into

#

hey, random question: can you crit with brain burst?

mental rock
#

Hm if they made right click charge the same time, there wouldn't really be a reason for left click charge to exist though

near wyvern
#

So you cannot consume true aim with it

hearty laurel
brave fiber
#

that’s the point

near wyvern
#

Fun fact, you get 2 true aim stacks for a completed BB

mental rock

Literally the same thing

RMB can blow you up easier

If you haven't locked on to something before 97% and then you do finish one, you pop

rigid sky

#

Well you can still lock with right click charge though

near wyvern
rigid sky
#

Snipers can be tricky to get too

#

Since they crouch

near wyvern
#

What is tricky is the fucking railings

#

Some railings prevent you from locking on

#

But you and enemies can shoot through

mental rock
#

I'm still not convinced that I would ever use left click charge if they buffed right click charge to be the same time

brave fiber
#

that’s fine, it’s a difference in playstyle

rigid sky
#

Sometimes LMB feels better

near wyvern
#

RMB is useful when you know / see the enemy is coming. LMB is useful when you don't have a fucking clue and are going on a fishing expedition.

brave fiber
#

As soon as I lock onto something I want to kill I hold lmb and can immediately forget about it. Instead I can use that time looking around me, dodging, listening for disablers, etc

near wyvern
#

So many times I latch on and do a 180

mental rock
#

Hm I guess it is just a difference of opinion, I just feel like making them the same time would make one of them redundant

brave fiber
#

one requires direct line of sight the other lets you essentially fire and forget

#

if I wanted a long range burst option that does what rmb charge does I’d just pick surge voidstaff

weary crane
brave fiber
mental rock
#

Yeah I get that, I just suppose that because I never really had los issues since I always used left click to lock on before my right click charge finished, if I ever used right click charge

They're trying their best

brave fiber
mental rock
#

True

#

SMiTe iS vErY HArd to USe

brave fiber
#

I honestly don’t even have a problem with the ease of use

#

It’s just that psyker blitzes fall off a cliff in aurics

#

extremely strong while leveling but just irrelevant once you get some great weapons

#

it’s hard to balance them because any buff to them will make leveling psyker too much of a steamroll

radiant frigate
mental rock
#

Lol

brave fiber
#

Lowkey take a note out of league’s book and make psyker blitzes do %maxhp damage that’s affected by armor type

radiant frigate
#

make brain burst do 100% max hp damage

mental rock
#

I wouldn't mind that if the charge time was also proportional

weary crane
#

The current malestrom is broken af

brave fiber
#

Brain burst insta kills everything but charge time scales with hp

#

And you can burst early by pressing rmb or something for reduced dmg

#

Honestly

#

Good change

weary crane
mental rock
#

No, make it trigger as soon as it's able to kill the enemy, ie if the enemy is taking damage from other sources, that also reduces charge time

weary crane
#

The previous 4 games I played we easy af and then this is just brokem

brave fiber
#

man now I really wish that’s how it worked lmao

radiant frigate
brave fiber
#

they’d have to make brain burst ramp damage as it charges rather than giving immediate damage on burst

radiant frigate
#

boss fights be like: buy time for the witch to finish a 5 year long cast to oneshot the boss

mental rock
#

Nah it wouldn't be that hard. Make the BB trigger a damage threshold which increases with charge time, then when the enemy takes enough damage or the threshold equals their max hp, BB triggers

its main character syndrome

halcyon gust

I don't judge a book by the cover when I see the build on the team preview as how they perform in game

It's just that the Really bad ones tend to be remembered more easily than the decent ones

if you're gonna run that playstyle you better be damn good at hearing disabler ques

I don't think they're as bad as people make them out to be

Theyre tbh ok on vet

Its just that zealot and psyker exclusive melee kinda blows most options out

With how nice ds, fs, hs , thammer and evis are

The problem is that many other weapons have improved while theyve remained the same since launch

#

Game has been power-crept in values on both enemies, weapons.

harsh urchin
#

Ye

#

It also doesnt have access/synergy to the extremely overtuned blessings

#

I actually think BM is a trap cuz it cant hit the BPs needed for it

spice veldt
#

it can hit the BPs with crits so there's that for it

#

i consider it a fine weapon but it really is just absolutely overshadowed

harsh urchin
#

Ye but relying on rng for BM is kinda annoying

#

I'm personally not a fan

spice veldt
#

i think it's fine cuz when you're making use of BM is just bruiser/poxwalker/groaner hordes

#

and you're not in need of reliabiliy against trash hordees anyways

#

and BM is just a nice surprise if it procs against anything tougher

I want to try out headtaker/shred and cut BM

Lots of viable options- but blaze+shriek is a common one I see, also trauma staff and whatever, also crit gunker. I run assail+revolver+deimos+EP and usually top 1/2 for damage, objectives, etc

lately i have been trying blaze trauma + vent shriend and warp siphon

gun psyker is super fun

i'm seeing a huge amount of new psykers playing gunker, and i'm so sad

gun pysker can be really good even more effective then more surge staff builds

My surge staff kicks fuckin ass

just a dps role i guess

Voidstrike or surge

or gun

urban sandal

blaze trauma

ivory path

Gun just does damage and nothing else

mighty olive
#

i love voidstrike >_<

deft nymph
#

check out my build in my about me for a good trauma build

mighty olive
#

trauma i heard is good but it's not my playstyle, you charge it on the ground and explode things, like Sienna's from VT2

urban sandal
#

like I said it's the most useful since it just completely counters any melee enemy besides bosses

ivory path
#

Trauma feels like shit without the charge time blessing

deft nymph

What do i look like im made of crafting mats?

mighty olive

i feel it

deft nymph

#

honestly if you're leveling psyker- do an assail build- it's consistently good through damnation- (then you need to learn how to move with no toughness)

ivory path
#

I get 2000, i upgrade a voidstrike to get a surge blessing, i get tier 2 shit instead

your mistake is upgrading things for blessings KEKW_ogryn

What are the go to melee weaps for us then?

deft nymph
last agate
#

Right now im running a crit assail build

deft nymph
#

if your primary is bad at horde clear you want a horde clear melee but if your primary is good at horde clear maybe you want something like a mk4 dueling idk tho im new

last agate
#

i got the voidstrike that shoots the giant ball for its secondary

lucid flicker
#

ah, the bowling ball

last agate
#

is that one a good staff?

spice veldt
#

very

lucid flicker
#

they are all good

deft nymph
#

depends on blessings and user

last agate
#

cause im running assail the build creator says its for big single tareget kill

lucid flicker
#

it can bowl through hordes

spice veldt
#

sure y not; i'd probably run mk4 duelling sword or deimos with voidstrike assail

#

you have assail for any close-distance crowd clear/control that you need
farm true aim stacks with melee when needed and throw out an assail shard here and there with hordes

deft nymph
#

you can do surge void strike build then do flick shots to shoot two balls at two diffent directions in a huge horde to kill twice as many pox walkers but this is kimda advance

I should be able to one shot bruisers basically correct? that's the breakpoint im going for?

it should be 1 hit after some very light buffs.

you can see after my headtaker procs its 1 hit

I do have headtaker I could swap to

but like

why

cinder moon

half the fun of picking certain weapons is getting a unique interaction with the class

force push on laspistol is funny, for example

was literally the entire reason i got one in the first place, lo and behold it ended up being absurdly good for gunker

Devil's claw was shit before patch 13, amazing at patch 13 and then shit again after patch 13. Why FS.

Because having bad weapons in the game is not necessarily a bad outcome

what made it good in patch 13

what made it bad afterwards

decent enough vs unarmoured

Any Venting build needs it, any Warp Nexus build

If you don't want to spam specials in melee I guess.

rigid sky

I wouldn't use it as my main one but still

I think I'd prefer a high peril Deimos

Since my Purgatus build is the only one which really wants to build peril faster but struggles

All my others I tend to struggle more with not overheating

And it's not as if you use the Deimos special much

Yeah sure but you can't specials as much as high warp.

I myself prefer high warp resist.

Normal heavies work great with DD and SG stacks

Like if the player is revived, team gets 25% corruption clear? maybe that would be a good option

and i think its because there is a balnce of it being useful, and being taken advantage of

I think corruption clear would open up some random exploit

Or maybe damage reduction for a period of time or something

Don't use it to push bursters

i use it at max peril

i just started tho

Now on a scale of Laspistol to Strikedown light on the blastoom gauntlet, how viciously does it launch?

its definitely just a normal push with a lil bump in it, but it is quite satisying getting a group low on health and just pushing and theyre dead

its just not that many lol

Damn, they robbed us of a COD Zombies Thundergun equivalent.
