shoutout to the undisclosed type of force sword and dead weight blessing
you can not like to play guns on a psyker, and i understand but the ammo argument is soooo bullshit
like, please, you have infinite assail and brain burst
or infinite stun nades
i am not a fan of gun psyker because it is weird to go my ranged weapon, pressing r and putting a new mag in
you can do horde clearing with shriek, create a safe spot on the go or go balls in with scryer
like HUH? i already quelled?
psyker is probably the most versatile class
RAHHH WHY CANT I USE PRESCIENCE AND SHRIEK
by like a mile
Because... they're redundant
The two below presience make you immune to ranged attacks, which makes the shield redundant, so I'm forced to go with gaze, but I want to play surge with crit build
Gunlugger currently does everything a Skullbreaker does, but probably more efficiently, in a safer manner, and it doesn't involve awkward juggling of 4 crushers rushing your team's position
One of them does, Anticipation doesn't do anything for ranged attacks, besides giving you an additional dodge to work with
And duration?
... we typed about this before
here.
Read the description, it's that shrimple
basically how i play shieldgryn with rumbler whenever there's multiple pals on the team/an ammo hungry vet
Yeah... so it does help against ranged attacks
The main effect? No. The extra dodge? Yes-ish?
The extra dodge is not that big of a deal, though
It can mostly help you move around with a staff out, since they only have 3 effective dodges
Also, going back to this, it makes you somewhat immune to ranged attacks, but your teammates still can get shot, so the shield has the "supportive" ability, still, and it's not like you will be in dodge state against ranged attacks all the time, either
The shield makes a lot of safe space against shooters/certain specials in general, it definitely has merit on a Surge build
but then you can't shriek to cast like 5/6 surges real quick
I want a shaman ogryn tree
I have 2 left
shriek is more of a safe space generator than bubble imo
Consider getting the green things at the top
Especially Perilous Combustion
It's a lot of extra potential killing power against groups with small elites involved
gunners/shotgunners, ragers to a certain extent also
Assail with soulstealer is nice
I don't like Soulstealer with Surge, but they also have Assail, so it has more potential value
What about true aim? It give even more crit
soulstealer works well with my surge/smite build that uses wildfire/shrieking flames
Oh yeah, that's probably also a good idea
I don't run soulstealer on my surge smite creeping flames build. 
Me neither
I don't have enough points.
Soulstealer and Quietitude are core imo
I would probably even get rid of 6 Warp Charges and Shield giving toughness regen to grab True Aim and up to 2 skills leading up to Perilous Combustion
I don't run soulstealer with my trauma build. 
1 crit with mettle gives full toughness. Since its per enemy.
I do question how much you need warp charges with shield
Not much, but Surge benefits a lot from Warp Charges in general
I thought about using trauma instead
Trauma would also be fine, but you don't need True Aim for Trauma, really, so there is a conflict of interest between Assail and Trauma in that regard
Meddle + shield is enough to regen toughness tbh
Surge has better crit modifer right?
Yeah it has crit damage and extra crit chance.
I considered trauma because theres a malestrom type that fking spams maulers and crushers
Blaze trauma decimate that modifier. (Solo gaming)
https://youtu.be/2PRiD-sWsNQ
Nein.
also the issue with assail is that you dont get psykentics aura which can give like the entire team like 2 more ults every encounter
seeing so few points in the top part makes me a little uneasy
True, but with 6 warp charges I do not need a shield any quicker lol
They have designed the right side of the tree to be exclusive to guns
All my 'builds' is just creeping flames. 
Good.

I gave in and made one Gaze build
A laspistol one for a Gunslinger
thats what i use truama
It’s… fun and effective, actually
I probably would spend one more point in Siphon to get the 4% chance to gain WC on any kill made in coherency
For convenience, more than anything
but you're the one doing the damage with trauma you dont need other ways of getting charges
Laspistol build? It's just assail and creeping flames. 
Yeah, but you will not always kill elites with it
It’s one of the possibilities
But Gaze gives you an obscene about of power for killing monstrosities, for instance
No 6 warp charges sadge
And ee is not good with trauma.
You don't have the fire rate of purga or assail.
yeah i was gonna drop it for more toughness
Yeah, I personally also dropped EE for the sake of… extra toughness, I think it was?
Ee is even not good with surge and it has much faster attack rate than trauma.
I dont lol
Crit for the win
Although
Perfect timing works really well with soulblaze
But the soulblaze are all on the left side of the tree
PT is easy to get on any build, though
perfect timing is nice you can keep 5 stacks up with surge 24/7
And soulblaze has like… two skills to support it 
soulblaze gets a lot of its strength from edge case interactions/nodes that aren't intended to directly buff it
I'm a little worried about the horde capability though, assail with ethereal should be enough. Or should I swap deimos with illsa?
What's your staff?
Surge
But my deimos is 550😞😞😞
I do that 
I don't rate assail with surge. But if you want to use it then assail does good horde clear, so I'd go with ds or knife.
Weave assail in while meleeing.
I'm only using assail because it can make use of weakspot and crit
Tbh the end number is just something for the sake of satisfaction
Which… doesn’t matter in the slightest, if only for you using a 550 item. This does not translate to the item’s efficiency 
550 weapons make you feel happy
assail still feels like aimlessly throwing marshmallows to me
But my actual bests, some of them are in the 490 range
What keystones do you run them with
My surge build use smite illisi surge with creeping flames.
Easiest build to play.
Just spam surge and creeping flames to win.
They feel so much beefier with Disrupt destiny
i tried whatever the meta assail build was a while ago, the mechanics of assail just do not click with me
But DD only really synergises with guns and voidstrike
If that meta assail build was with EP then I wouldn't like it either
like, i can see brain burst and smite doing work, assail shards just get lost and i have no idea where they're going
i also don't enjoy the way aiming assail works
If you RMB+LMB throw it costs more peril and does more damage
Slaughterer is not that good with deimos. Go uncanny.
Assail cant either decimate a group or randomly hits the ground and does nothing
Deimos is not a good horde clear sword anyway so slaughterer doesn't help much.
Unless you are dead set on horde clearing with deimos.
Ik this was an old build
You can't be using them with Disrupt Destiny then, they're crazy good with that
DD is also frustrating because it's totally random which targets get highlighted
Old Slaughterer was so good it worked even with zero synergy, yeah
Yep :D
That's the fun part
and DD has limited range for highlighting targets, which is stupid considering assail is ranged
23 mins game nearly 500k damage 4 psykers 3 surge staves.
Voidstrike or guns can penetrate a crowd to kill an embedded DD target
3 psyker games are either 20 minutes or 40 minutes
Or assail can randomly kill them too
no middle ground
or i could just use smite
which always works
DD/assail is basically playing a slot machine with blitz, i hate it
YES YES MORE RNG
DD is power fantasy stuff
if your power fantasy is not being able to deal with the target you want to deal with
Hit 15 stacks and absolutely fucking murder everything
and having some random poxwalker get highlighted
Oh realised that game was 4 psykers. One dude used revolver and 3 surge.
i have yet to see more than the one good assail/dd psyker in my randoms
There's no good psykers obviously.
had a guy who actually knew how to rmb/lmb assail
Bad class.
but i could tell he was putting in a lot more effort to be effective
meanwhile i just go zzzzzap hahaha
360 zap no scope
Definitely, which makes it more rewarding if you care about things like that
And the fact it take 50 minutes to reach a sniper because its dancing around everywhere
if the effort were consistently commensurate with the reward, it'd be interesting, but it's not, so, it isn't (to me)
meanwhile voidstrike and surge do exactly what i want
Assail mainly solves the "7 spread out shooters shooting at you from all angles" for me, any kind of quickswap is mainly for style points now they nerfed the swapping 
The notion that you need to deal with the marked target is the problem your having with DD
Between voidstrike and venting shriek it's incredibly easy to maintain stacks
why would i want a skill that marks things i'm not trying to deal with?
And poxwalkers can't even get marked lol
For the buff...
And toughness replenishment, potentially, at least in desperate moments
Pretty irrelevant, tbh
You're getting shit tons back from warp kills and crits anyway
no toughness regen on peril gen?
Hence desperate moments - I know the vast majority of toughness uptime is granted by skills up in the tree
It's pretty shit
It’s indeed pretty shit
rly
You have much better places to put that skill point
Its an opportunity cost issue. What are you giving up for it?
Not by a long shot
It's so unnecessary with how quick quelling is now
i dont like to take inner tranquil either. I like to keep my peril high
Inner tranquility the one that gives peril offset on kill? I want high peril so it actually hinders my playstyle
Thats the whole point in it, it keeps you at high peril for a long time
It's best paired with shield thougg
Wut
I usually just quell for half a second and cast again
Still disrupts warp flurry
This guy fucks
No it doesn't
It can keep you at high peril for an unspecified and unpredictable amount of time, very rarely still
Warp flurry doesn't drop off like it used to
What does it mean that it keeps you at high peril
Inner Tranq is not doing much at all
good point. usually I dont take the 6 warp charges
I think the idea was that it quells you just enough to stick in another cast of your staff or whatever, before you would pass the PotW threshold, but the effect is so rare and procs so unpredictably it’s not a good argument to take it 
Deploy shield -> no charges, no peril res -> start killing -> gain warp charges and peril res -> continue killing at high peril
You can do all that without talents
Peril res is also messes with edging which I hate
pause
🤨
what about melee
For trauma I know I can full cast at 82% without exploding, peril res will make it kinda weird like sometimes you can do it at 86% or smth but either way the benefit isn't there because both are like 1~2 ticks of quelling
DD is nice with melee as it allows the duelling4 to properly oneshot mutants without crit
toughness gain with peril seems so good tho 🤔
basically +5% every few seconds during a fight
from building peril you do not get that much
you get more from quelling
usually you do not need both
overkill?
Consider this: does replenishing 0.25% total toughness per peril percentage point generated sound all that amazing, when compared to other options?
you get more toughness from crits and its also a path to perfect timing
I could get 2 more warp charges if I take it off, so I guess i'll try that
Quietude is DOUBLE that ratio, for an action you will be doing probably as often as you generate peril, and it works passively if you have a lot of spare peril that you can vent while doing something else
It's like 5% toughness per staff cast, you probably get alot more from warp kills
yes i always take quietude
I guess if you wanna go primarily melee, that too
Quietude also makes more sense as you usually want toughness back after an exchange with shooters. Not really the other way round
quietude also gives you a chunk of toughness when you use shriek
does it?
Both can be good, if you take the Swiss cheese model of psyker survivability
I thought it was manual quell only
nope
Any source of quelling
all quell
Yes.
wow. i was lied to
Even exorcist I think lol
I stopped taking wildfire recently too
Wildfire is 🤷♂️
does it uh. stack with staff crit soulblaze to 7 stacks
No
yeah thats what I thought
Psyker dies when you take melee hits while below 100% toughness
well, so does vet
It's not just about overall total toughness gain over the course of a full match
Vet has 50 more HP so they can take 1 extra hit usually
It's about minimising windows where you are below 100%
Vet at least has Iron Will to not instantly drop to 0 toughness, and then health 
vet has the same hp
Every source of replenishment you can get your hands on counts
Ah I'm thinking toughness nvm
And VoC/Infiltrate is an instant toughness replenishment button, so that also helps
In trouble? Press F
Although the peril gain one is weaker than the peril quell one, it's still another source that is active at another time.
It's much lower priority to pick though
that was my thinking
Probably only worth it if running EP keystone
constant toughness regen uptime
unfortunately this did not help me with a burstpoxer
some vets are so lazy they just shout and let the burster blow on them
I think you would usually want toughness in chunks, things are either going well or going really bad, there's hardly an in between
Since EP keystone frees up lots of points
VoC has an upgrade for that, too
That ability is obscene
A lot of my HP hits are caused by bruisers sneaking behind me
well yes but i still went to 0 toughness and straight into fire
And I don't know they are there until they bonk me
Just have the VT2 shift mashing reflex on hearing the hit warning sound 
The sound is indeed scuffed
a lot of people dont take the brain burst speed after ability upgrade
I love it for boss dmg
😔
||skill issue
||
It is pretty decent stress-free boss damage
But get me in there with a Deimos 
I will single handedly grief my team by going for boss dps instead of killing specials
i think its probably the best beast of nurgle killer outside of scriers gaze shenanagins
I can't budget it on for my Purgatus/WS
I've been considering dropping the 5 crit node for it
i drop wildfire and EE
true aim on purg?
Also skipped, I don't even have Kinetic deflection
It's difficult to casually quantify
also i dont know if the "immune for 1 sec" is lying or not lol
Mah build
Warp Siphon too damn expensive
Oh yeah
I cant remember who said it but someone did more soulblaze damage with surge than purga
I would do this exact same tree but switch EE for the brain burst speed
Purga just takes too long to kill with too little stun
I think my build drops wildfire for extra toughness
Sometimes deflector for warp6
Mettle should be enough with high crit chance
no soulsteal 😨
I wish I could see how much EE is helping
Yeap that's its real strength, infinite cleave
It sounds incredible
It only scales with density
But I can't know for sure
What's EE?
My idea is that brain rupture is my team's last resort for killing certain targets
Empathic Evasion
purg when I flail a full rmb charge into a horde: this is the greatest weapon ever
purg when there is a crusher wave: mommy
Swiss cheese model, innit
Sometimes you get shot to shit
Stack as many layers of "sometimes protects you" as you can
It saved me once vs a sniper
Burn them and then stick your Deimos into their face to stack uncanny
Suddenly they die
As long as you don't rely on it blindly or give up something else I think it gives nice extra leeway
My favourite playstyle, bosses melt
It's just another layer on top of soulsteal, mettle, essence harvest, quietitude
but there's also 4 ragers and maulers behind them so I need my trauma staff stagger crutch
Purge lmb can stagger all of them though
And Purgatus is good enough
You know about the purg lmb stagger?
I'm not kidding that it staggers most elites
With infinite cleave
As long as they are approaching you from one direction no elites can ever touch you
It is really good
I like using it on bursters
On something like hab dreyko finale though even that ends up being too slow to save you
i cant get bursters to explode after purg stagger
Timing
Hit them a little later
Push them after you hear them jump
They have an animation change when they prime to blow
at that point I just melee push 😭
If your staff is already out though
Also if they are pouncing somebody else further away
Do the staff special 
I only do gun bash like once every 30 times
You can just swap and push usually
Force sword double push also gives you that bit of extra distance which saved me more than once
I love the range on the PA part
It's a really nice buff but kinda out of nowhere
It's the best part of the whole force sword family
It's the whole reason why Obscurus used to be our best melee weapon arguably
They also let you dodge out of activation attacks
Before Deimos? Yea people should use it more to stop crushers or ragers
Yeah. It was between that and it being one of the few weapons that could oneshot Mutants at the time
What other psyker weapons have crit stat?
Surge is the only one with crit bonus right?
For the staves, yeah.
Yondu build
Dodge talent is a waste of a point, it is bugged and doesn't increase dodge duration, you should remove point from it and put it into other assail buff
Anticipation you mean?
@near wyvern IS IT BUGGED? oh goddamn
I'm having the hardest time comprehending synergy in psyker
Well the fact it doesnt work with riposte i think is a bug too
It feels like my blessing just don't really...affect my overall build on my melee weapon
melee psyker 
they do have really good melee weapons but the talent tree doesnt have real support
I mean with the demios I can 1 shot so much
yea with DD it one shots even more consistently
What's DD
right keystone
I rock DD
yea
I actually dig that keystone a lot
im just waiting for one day they add some attack speed talent to psyker
I thought it was gonna be bad keeping 15 stacks
What do y'all do for bosses? Monstrosities?
Should I just be spamming flame thrower staff since that's what I rock?
Kinetic deflection and unstable power for bosses
Block the attacks to charge up then hit at max peril
Since I do more damage with more peril?
If you have unstable power and warp rider yes
Kk.
What do y'all do for survivability?
I do so damn WELL but one mistake and I'm dead
ikr
Guess that's the psyker life
Smite spam is the best for surviving lol
stam toughness hp
dodging is better than blocking anyways
yes 🙂
Fuk
I like assail too much
The main problem with assail is it stops you from getting some of the best talents
Does ranged damaged boost affect smite?
it should
everything that isnt bleed burn melee or soulblaze should be considered ranged damage as far as i know
@weary crane what talents
Psykinetic aura, and if you go for crit chance you cant get shriek
Shriek is good for crit chance?
The 5 percent crit chance is on the right side
I know literally nothing about crit chance builds
Also can I NOT get above 15 percent toughness curios do those NOT exist?
16% curios are relatively easy to get
They appear at as low as 71 base rating
17% appear at 77, which is relatively rarer an appearance
Keep rolling
I'm questioning whether psychic vampire actually gives you more charges
Aura is increased by 50%
The chance something dies to soulblaze is quite low
Things don’t have to die from Soulblaze for In Fire Reborn to proc
They just have to be affected by Soulblaze
Fatshark is not great at typing descriptions
You can get 30 percent damage DD is that worth it
their first language isnt english so you can give them the benefit of doubt
But I guess that's a crit chance build? Idfk
It’s unrealistically hard to keep up
the extended duration one is better imo
15 is enough to let you hit most BP against mobs
like void oneshot gunner head etc
15 on longer duration is much more realistic to keep up and get good value out of
15 stack DD is more than enough
With 30 stack, you'll have less than 15 stacks the vast majority of the time
Also 15 stack DD makes Assail absolutely fucking deadly
I think it's stronger than EP Assail, and it doesn't even have limited charges
Although I haven't verified the maths of that
2hp 1 toughness
Run whatever works for you tho
That is true. I do love deflector.
It feels like it's relevant maybe one game in 5
but it saves that game entirely
KD already just about guarantees resses
Lighting storm isnt just one more target right, anyone know how many more it hits?
Sparkheads. Can you kill heretic horde slower? Want to kill them too!
new skins look horrible
zealot one is nice
yo anyone willing to help me get the malleus monstronum penance done?
1 +3 Stamina and 2 toughness
Ulgo use 1 tough 2 health. But am ogryn
2 toughness, 1 stam usually
1 tough, 1 health, 1 stam
on my dueling sword kit i have all stam, fun times
no KD on that build so the extra stam helps
Sparkheads have queshion for yous
2x toughness, 1x stamina
Just remembered that I have an extra wound instead of 1 tough
what is it, hefty associate?
Do ask
+3 wounds and become a suicide bomber
Why some of you scream vacum capsule?
VACUME CAPSULE
I don’t think this is particularly relevant to Psykers only
Even zealots started doing so
Dunno. Only heard yous screamin it
But the male Loner has a great delivery in one of these lines 
check the icon for my malice/heresy meme build that's literally all wound curios 
VACUME CAPSULE shirtless zealot VACUME CAPSULE
How Ulgo say it?
its a mod
Consider this: everyone can scream VC on Spireside and Logistratum missions, by pinging the vacuum containers
Aww... hate nog getting mod
But I more often see Zealots spontaneously exclaiming that they have spotted a vacuum canister

What it look like?
It’s the special issue ammunitions or a plague container, on end events in these missions
Hexagonal, tall shape
So... like at end where we get ammo from trains? Ulgo ping it?
Yeah, exactly these
I love the fact you can inspect capsules lol
Ulgo on consol. It work?
WHAT?! HAVE TO DO IT NOW!!
Yes
I think as long as you can ping them, yes
you can inspect anything

Yeah but with capsules theres like no time to do it
theres always time
Sparkheads opened Ulgo third eye!
I was thinking of using this for melee maelstrom
Me as the last player alive with 2 hordes incoming
Need be achivement!
And this for ranged malestrom
VACUME CAPSULES should be worth dockets if you bring them to the end
My general purpose build I use with Void strike
i have something similar only shriek last warp siphon and the other peril+toughness thing
We should have a mission where in the first 10 minutes or so we carry a capsule around
ikr escord missions are like in every early shooter game
they should just copy any tf2 game mode that can fit the game
Would be a pain in the ass if it is done poorly
I wanna try this out because nobody plays this
seer > not seer
payload and control point can work for DT
Escorting a tank can work to deal with a Heretic fortification can work easily
MannVSMachine too
A hold out defense can work as well. With the reason is you're providing fire support as a different team gather as much supplies as possible from a location
GW would never allow public modding but imagine darktide with tf2 levels of custom games
Every successful wave clear gets you a bit of money + resources and every 5th wave is a boss wave.
btw, what blitz would be good for Columbus IAG gunker?
my two considered options are either Assail with the recharge time augment, or Brain Rupture with Kinetic Flayer (so I can proc it while shooting/slashing at things)
Assail for better horde clear, Brain Rupture for better single target on stuff like Crushers
Gun psykers go assail usually
I unironically have illisi for horde clear, so I guess I might as well try out Rupture...
the only problem will be not having access to Mind in Motion tho
i'm trying this out with my emperor blessed laspistol and a deflector illisi, first match was a fail because my teammates were goombas, but it seemed to be pretty good until they crumbled
ok, but should I grab both Empathic Evasion (crits give ranged dodge for 1 sec) and Anticipation (+50% dodge duration and +1 max dodge), or just one of the two? I kinda wanna take either Mettle or Soulstealer...
Soulstealer would be good for melee situations (because I use illisi with gunker), but Mettle would be good with crits and Columbus IAG is also good with crits...
Anticipation is slightly less good than it seems
Yeah anticipation does not increase dodge duration atm
take both mettle and soulstealer
I would probably drop the peril gain gives toughness one
Hmm actually though
yeah.. I have been using warp expenditure this whole time on gunker...
Idk if I would take soulstealer without assail on gunker
It's mostly proccing off Kinetic flayer (which is dogshit either way)
and I can't even afford Empyrean Empowerment on my Warp Charges...
warp charges make me go 
"let me just enter my burst phase and- where are my damage stacks"
Yeah DD will also get you true aim which is nutty
true aim is based
But scrier's gaze, Disrupt Destiny and guns are made for each other
I do have True Aim, but DD is garbage iirc, and I dunno if I should use Better Blitzes on gunker...
DD is not garbage
If you think DD is garbage it's probably a skill issue
You have to take the 30 second duration variant
But it's quite easy to maintain that
It's easiest (and strongest) with guns, voidstrike, and assail
mediocre i feel
Since they all trigger it easily and also are all benefited by it a lot
yeah, but the variety of enemies it can tag is very limited from what I remember...
Doesn't matter, and not that limited
It can be anything smaller than an ogryn
Anything that can be killed by Haymaker
But the damage then applies to everything you do
Tru I succ bad
At 15 stacks you have 15% damage, 30% critical damage and 37.5% weakspot damage bonuses
everyone says +3 stam and x2 +toughness
but you can run x3 + toughness
whats important is that for perks you run x3 CDR like a real man to shout as much as possible
suddenly illisi does Big Number™️
i have been considering swapping off my triple DR setup
And CIAG multipliers are actually absurd
not a lot of good things to take for psyker on curios
Can soulblaze crit?
2.2 on weakspot
no
did anyone try not running peril based damage node and run DD 30 max stacks
Hp toughness toughness regen sniper resist all gud to me
Crits will apply 2x soulblaze though
So the weakspot and crit bonuses are very strong compared with most other weapons
I did try 30 stack DD on my first Psyker game in patch 13
It was enough for me to almost quit darktide lmao
Me I can't hit head.
why
Aiming hard
i mean 30 + x3 stack for headshot
Because keeping up a 15 second duration buff is fucking miserable
wait can't you take both
gunner DR denier?
they should change it then
Mutually exclusive
If they made stacks fall off maybe one every 5 seconds once it expires it'd be usable
2badvoidstrike2gud
I never need it. If you need it then sure.
where CDR >:(
cdr true best curio perl
and there's me
better than gunner resist
No I prefer extra hp.
cause u lame
gunner flamer bomber DR 
I need it for double grims hishock run.
oh i dun touch grims
not hardcore like u
sorry
Yeah only top 1% can play grims at high level.
grims are stupid and smelly
Ngl rather than fully focussing on stack upkeep is just see it as a nice passive
Mfw the team beg me to throw away the grim.
grim = 1 bad poxy walker bye bye
grims on damn+ is purely 🇲 asochism
can't say that last word because it gets botted for some reason
grim does psychic damage to me
If the psyker carries the grim thats on them
kind of like plasma vets
Me when i shoot the poxy boi as teammate runs in for a push 
i legit do not care what anyone does on marty zealot
griefer
go ahead go double grim in auric take all the ammo
No that way i can flex solo skills
i playing vet now
spectator mode
ez class
Free karma
had one dude pick up a grim in auric which got me to 50% hp in auric
i think the only vet i enjoy is power sword/revolver
then he spammed healthing station so i couldnt heal
My martyr build on my back pocket
pee sword and pee gun for the gay
vet peepee build
also considerable
ah, the classic vet that doesn't shoot shooters
me wondering why i have to LMB all the shooters with surge staff
yeah i slice them
wym i always get highest ranged elite and ranged lesser kills
Tbf the build doesnt really matter as long as you have shout
Some guns aren't meant for shooting shooters
what about it
the plasma's bad at it for example and it's probably the best ranged weapon for vets
99% of shotgun vets i see just don't shoot the shooters lmao
cuz you can just melee ranged enemies
I am the psyker with the grim.
Also just run bubble on psyk lmao
you need to open ur eyes
is it a meme that you have to only fight ranged enemies with ranged weapons lmao
that's called being selfish in war
Or shout ig
So long as somebody is dealing with them it's fine
doesn't have to be the vet
it's not the old days where every vet had Volley Fire
kant shotgun is a sniper
either you die with it or clutch with it its fine
clearly they have no responsibility to take care of ranged enemies just cuz a vet is on the team
people ignoring shooters is why i keep deflector and kd tbh
within 20 meters at least
Just be ogryn with a shield and hold block ez clap
just shout at the shooters tbh
venting shriek is a great anti-shooter
yeah
see arco get it
but ya me me
the range on it is actually disgusting
so true
or assail in their general direction
i know vent reaches 40m or so
assail pretty much solos shooters
i use it to free dogged teammates through walls/floors a lot
Yes
Also you dont even need deflector to be safe from gunners
This is why I like warp siphon with shriek so much
If you dodge a bunch you'll be fine as well
Vet on the team he can kill all shooters not my problem anymore. 
the situations in which i get annoyed at a vet not doing their job, deflector is handy because shooters are spread out all over the place and the vet is doing their worst zealot impression
Or just run to the side like the game wants you to, but no one ever does that
shame, can't believe the other classes are helpless against ranged enemies w/o a vet
The time where you don't have deflector is the time you wish you had
with a competent team i generally can go through auric maelstrom with no HP curios and only touch a medicae once or twice at most, then there are regular damnation missions where i fucking die because there are shooters literally everywhere and the vet is busy magdumping into hordes
this is a pub moment irrespective of the class that they are on
Only a Sith deals in absolute
and like, just run a generalist build or go premade if you dislike it so much

Ye just like hm twins was supposedly impossible without zealot
it shouldn't be a shocker that generalist builds are preferred if you're pubbing
Meanwhilr all of them were dead weight
i have some basic expectations of the kind of people that play particular classes, usually vets shoot things, but sometimes they shoot all the things irrespective of target priority
I remember getting flamed for playing psyker at hm twins.
hm twins had 2 zealots when i did it (i was one of them)
so you're just under a mentality of role adherence
Then after the round they're like okay u gud
in a game where the boundaries between class roles is pretty loose
Mfw i hard carry
why play veteran if you're not going to shoot stuff?
particularly the things that shoot back
power sword and voc
merc kruber in space gaming
simple
still have a gun
Vet is mostly a shield bot
use it
cuz psword exists and I do get to magdump in certain situations
Yeah, that's why I keep a Vraks 7 to deal with ranged as a zealot
premade is too easy i think i stumbled on a team from the discord once in quickplay and hab dreyko took 24 minutes even though one guy went down 3 times
clutching pubs is 90% of the fun anyway
i should return to melee psyker
Highly depends
with wildfire and blazing surge voidstrike
Because game is fun and people should be able to play how they want. 
tragic
The only reason i got into lowmanning AM is because some people are just unable to do anything
that argument breaks down when people playing how they want is directly detrimental to other peoples' experience
this is a team game and not being a team player is tantamount to griefing
that argument breaks down if you make the active choice to quickplay
nah im sorry but if you play vet without survivalist and bring an ammo hungry weapon you're fucking over the rest of the team hard
you are literally volunteering yourself to the whims of the pubs
esp if they miss a lot which many do
Eh idc other guys. I play for myself. I don't care what others do. If they steal all ammo then I'd just use melee more.
as if quickplay is somehow different than manually picking a mission from the board?
I don't rage over other people's choices.
Literally everyone ive seen that use this argument suck on their own
oh oops my wording was too specific
which is why i play psyker and zealot 
I meant pubbing in general
this game stopped being a team game when every class can be built to do everything
more plasteel
just go make a premade if you want people to play in a specific way
i would barrel everyone on the team for 10 extra plasteel ngl
everytime commodore says
DO YOU HAVE THE URGE TO SPLURGE
it's one thing to hot drop into a mission and have weird team comp because of it, but i do pay attention to what people are bringing during the lobby
then you can just leave if you don't like a build
just build so you can handle everything ezpz
and like, it's pubs
Theres no need to play off of teammates
that's why i go smite/surge 95% of the time i qp
yeah you kinda need one tool for everything for pubs
all i need is my void
ezpz
Just stick together and you'll be fine
kill everything
you cant go purge-smite as psyker in pubs
90% of them are just not going to do that well anyways, though that percentage is lower now that only the long time players remain
you need something for heavies and snipers
Void
left pro players like myself only
i think you complaining too much over a casual game mr knite
How is spamming bubble bad?
some new people still make it to auric
mfs need an invite only league for darktide
because they blow up 😂
i quick played into a game where one dude was clutching a game for two other no frames
guys a saint
Bubble doesnt increase peril tho
it doesn't decrease it either
I’m a no frame 
they're not mutually inclusive
true level 800
I quite literally use Rejects Will Rise frame
ya i want to play with 0ping with you and agent
and boodendorf
4 psyker, each one has a different staff
all frame suck anyway
you gotta get warhammer+ for the good frames 
mancunio campaign frame to make people ask where you got it
i actually like the 1000 kill scab tie more than the hard mode twins
but hard mode twins is more of a flex
I'll hop back on Psyker when we get a 2h force sword (and single target staff pretty pwease)
u alr have surge
and surge suk
Arco, did you play Vermintide 1?
Hmmm
never played vt 1 or 2
use a shit void
xD
yes
🤔
can't you build for void lmb
summons bullet
I hate projectile weapons if they aren't a quake plasmagun
Would you like to see a showcase of how Bolt staff performed in the first game?
Vermintide v1.5
In this video I run around with the bolt staff and flame sword and kill a bunch of rats while talking about it :)
See this shit, this is lit
AYO IS THIS MORROWIND
VT1 is made in source isnt it?
It’s not
i feel like im looking at a modded L4D game
not for long
you cant trust autodesk to maintain software
In regard to it, if FS ever add Bolt staff in any iteration to DT
Disrupt Destiny (in its current iteration) will be ridiculous with it
hell yeah
+35% warp damage + warp rider + dd
psyker has a lot of damage buffs that haven't seen an opportunity to stack together properly because of the lack of a warp precision single target staff
Even VT2 Bolt Staff would be "nice", just without the trueflight mechanics 
q3a plasma was the shit
also q3a railgun
btw, I kinda have no clue whether or not I should take off Quicker Recharge from Assail and put the point into the 20% chance to quell peril on DD target kill (Purloin Providence) on my gunker build...
quake 3 arena?
i think you shluldnt shortform that lol
if strictly fcompare those 2, i think keep quicker recharge
my gunker build can't exactly afford much extra points, aside from quicker Assail recharge and +20% Toughness DR from Scrier Gaze...
Go EP assail and spam it. 
the only decent op weapon players i get are plasma vets
yes, why not
all pub void psykers are doomed to the fate of somehow killing nothing
skrill issue
werent you the same guy that short formed something else and nobody got it

q3a is the commonly accepted abbreviation
were you referring to whomever was abbreviating toughness and problem in a weird way?
damnit hadron
Anyone have an issue with bluetooth headphones having no sound as soon as you're in the mission, but working fine in the Mourning Star
That happened to me actually. It seems to be something with the bluetooth software being weird about the in-game voice chat.
I couldn't find a way to fix it.
Booo, it just started happening after working fine for 6 months.
do you switch chars a lot?
no
i mostly get it when i switch
ok i jinxed it
5 minutes and counting after leaving a mission
finally found surge.... over 1000 hours in the game if you count my gamepass account and steam together lol
i got it off melk 
maybe u should get luckier
Hey gamers
All the @s make me think we are getting the damn dev blog smh
Has literally anything changed in the past few months? Gonna reinstall later today
New tech, builds, etc?
there. now i just need to roll void staves till i get one with a better than 15% perk
Neat
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SOOOOOOOO BRIGHT
yeah they said end of the month. i wonder if they will actually wait till the last day lol
looks like that in pics with hdr on
ok, gunker feels nice for me to play finally, but there are 2 issues:
-
I need to run soulstealer instead of Mettle to gain Toughness back more easily, as most of my horde clear comes from Assail...
-
My teammates keep killing my DD targets, so I never get the stacks...
There is nothing more kill-theft attracting than a blue glow
Even if they literally cant see it
this is HDR off
ah comfy
Run both
Also if your DD is about to fall off it's safer to just pull your gun out and execute the blue bastard
Assail is good for building stacks but unreliable
Or… shoot them, because merely hitting your target will refresh DD’s duration
That too
I cannot exactly afford both Toughness Gain talents, if that's what you mean...
Unless... Is the 20% extra TDR from the last Scrier augment truly necessary/good if I just spend most of Scrier quelling to get more stacks of the 10 sec damage bonus?
I will link my build in a little while
I don’t think the TDR from Scrier is significant enough to even consider
Ignore the weapons
You will still fold like a house of cards when hit by any attacks with either high base damage, or with additional toughness damage multiplier (like bruiser attacks)
It's a bit rough, I think I might have taken inspiring presence because I didn't realise it was shit at the time
I mean its like what, 13.33% less than the max TDR gainable from One With The Warp... idr the specific max percentage lol
But apart from that this is my build I think
Wait derp
Not mind in motion
The one next to it
Although tbf you could take battle meditation off in favour of it
You quell surprisingly a lot with gunker
I run Solidity, because then I can outquell the peril ramp-up during Scrier...
It’s 13.33 percentage points, yeah
Solidity is so overrated
It’s not nothing, but you can’t really bank on it greatly
That entire left leg is a point tax to get to warp siphon
Crack it open and put it elsewhere
Trying to keep it going as long as possible is somewhat futile if redundant, most of the time, IMO
but then I would only get to around 6-8 stacks...
You typically only ever use Gaze to get a stat and finesse boost, and expend it on whatever is in front of you or soon will be in front of you
Well, I typically get to 11-13 without doing anything out of ordinary, as long as I kill things as I go 
You have to kill things to maintain the effect
quell speed low, but so long as from 100% peril, if you quell 2 ticks and get around 80% or get to fire a full charged shot without bursting thats good enough
You can also quell until your quell speed gets surpassed by the speed of peril building
Usually, quelling with a Warp weapon and the speed boost of Gaze is as fast as Mind in motion
Yeah but quelling makes it so you lose the precious time to spend the buff on something
Indeed
And I usually prefer just spending the buff, even if I don’t make the most out of its effect
Maintaining it for 15+ stacks is just not realistic without some external level of support and/or luck (say, Battle Meditation or Purloin Providence)
Unless you use a staff, but that's another story
Like Exorcist blessing on FS, which is garbage 
I love exorcist on my Illisi, I love using the special to clear hordes, I love it not working because that's not how exorcist works
On hindsight, if exorcist activated by just hitting weakspots once, you could infinitely cleave through hordes with Illisi
If Exorcist activated multiple times per swings, there would have been some merit to keep it, and it might even have been competitive with some blessings setups
But it's not proccing multiple times per swing, it's just ONE proc of -5% peril per swing
damn that’s lame
I had a thought about trying to use an exorcist sword with scriers for the memes but I guess that’s out
Yeah, not effective
I mean, you can use it, but at that point IDK why wouldn't you just use Unstable Power
because I wanted to keep scriers up for as long as possible
or rather, as effective as one might think
But the game doesn't really give you enough of a good reason to keep it up as long as possible
for the memes
I was trying this out earlier with laspistol/deflector illisi but all of my pub teams today have had sub-30s or just crumble so I couldn’t get a proper feel for it
had the thought about exorcist scriers while illisi horde clearing with scriers up
I see you 👀 you wannabe gunker. I should definitely give one of my guns a try on a mission. I’m so used to not picking up ammo
my other gunker build ended up just being my voidstrike build
got this great laspistol so i wanna use it
Is the Columbus gun any good tho? I’ve heard good reviews about it
And that I have it in my inventory, but never bother to use it
Columnus IAG is great. Columnus braced is pretty bad tbh
Is the Columbus iag the best for Gun psyker?
how does a laser have stopping power?
graia braced is fun
i am not a plane
you ever catch a laser beam in your eye? shit hurts
it just makes me run at the person shooting it faster
Catch the weight of light powered by crystal
Hmmm, I suppose the small weapons aren't using crystals
You can check The Psyker Atheneum to see what the talents actually do. (Google it)
yeah its such a nice guide thanks to whoever wrote that
