reducing logistical strain on teammates :)

radiant frigate
#

shoutout to the undisclosed type of force sword and dead weight blessing

cosmic sigil
#

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

radiant frigate
#

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

cosmic sigil
#

you can do horde clearing with shriek, create a safe spot on the go or go balls in with scryer

radiant frigate
#

like HUH? i already quelled?

cosmic sigil
#

psyker is probably the most versatile class

weary crane
#

RAHHH WHY CANT I USE PRESCIENCE AND SHRIEK

cosmic sigil
#

by like a mile

vestal fulcrum
#

Because... they're redundant

weary crane
#

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

vestal fulcrum
#

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

vestal fulcrum
weary crane
#

And duration?

vestal fulcrum
#

... we typed about this before

#

here.

#

Read the description, it's that shrimple

cinder moon
#

basically how i play shieldgryn with rumbler whenever there's multiple pals on the team/an ammo hungry vet

weary crane
#

Yeah... so it does help against ranged attacks

vestal fulcrum
#

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

vestal fulcrum
#

The shield makes a lot of safe space against shooters/certain specials in general, it definitely has merit on a Surge build

cinder moon
#

but then you can't shriek to cast like 5/6 surges real quick

vestal fulcrum
#

You don't have to be the protagonist of every anime

cosmic sigil
#

I want a shaman ogryn tree

weary crane
#

I have 2 left

cinder moon
vestal fulcrum
#

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

cosmic sigil
#

Assail with soulstealer is nice

cinder moon
#

soulstealer and quietude are fucking baller

#

basically infinite toughness gen

vestal fulcrum
#

I don't like Soulstealer with Surge, but they also have Assail, so it has more potential value

weary crane
#

What about true aim? It give even more crit

cinder moon
#

soulstealer works well with my surge/smite build that uses wildfire/shrieking flames

vestal fulcrum
#

Oh yeah, that's probably also a good idea

plucky flax
#

I don't run soulstealer on my surge smite creeping flames build. staregryn

plucky flax
#

I don't have enough points.

rigid sky
#

Soulstealer and Quietitude are core imo

vestal fulcrum
plucky flax
#

I don't run soulstealer with my trauma build. whatthefuck_heresy

#

1 crit with mettle gives full toughness. Since its per enemy.

rigid sky
#

I do question how much you need warp charges with shield

vestal fulcrum
weary crane
#

I thought about using trauma instead

plucky flax
#

Hrm interesting.

#

I assume you're not using blaze trauma.

vestal fulcrum
#

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

weary crane
#

Meddle + shield is enough to regen toughness tbh

#

Surge has better crit modifer right?

plucky flax
#

Yeah it has crit damage and extra crit chance.

weary crane
#

I considered trauma because theres a malestrom type that fking spams maulers and crushers

plucky flax
weary crane
#

I assume you use britleness?

#

Blessing

plucky flax
#

Nein.

upper sun
radiant frigate
#

seeing so few points in the top part makes me a little uneasy

weary crane
#

They have designed the right side of the tree to be exclusive to guns

plucky flax
#

All my 'builds' is just creeping flames. pogryn

vestal fulcrum
#

I gave in and made one Gaze build

#

A laspistol one for a Gunslinger

upper sun
#

thats what i use truama

vestal fulcrum
#

It’s… fun and effective, actually

upper sun
#

i broke free of warp siphon addiction

#

i no longer spend 50 points on it

vestal fulcrum
#

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

upper sun
#

but you're the one doing the damage with trauma you dont need other ways of getting charges

plucky flax
vestal fulcrum
#

Yeah, but you will not always kill elites with it

vestal fulcrum
#

But Gaze gives you an obscene about of power for killing monstrosities, for instance

plucky flax
#

No 6 warp charges sadge

#

And ee is not good with trauma.

#

You don't have the fire rate of purga or assail.

upper sun
vestal fulcrum
#

Yeah, I personally also dropped EE for the sake of… extra toughness, I think it was?

plucky flax
#

Ee is even not good with surge and it has much faster attack rate than trauma.

upper sun
#

i wish anticipation was replaced with EE

#

🤤 extra dodges

weary crane
#

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

vestal fulcrum
#

PT is easy to get on any build, though

upper sun
#

perfect timing is nice you can keep 5 stacks up with surge 24/7

vestal fulcrum
#

And soulblaze has like… two skills to support it whatthefuck_heresy

cinder moon
#

soulblaze gets a lot of its strength from edge case interactions/nodes that aren't intended to directly buff it

weary crane
#

I'm a little worried about the horde capability though, assail with ethereal should be enough. Or should I swap deimos with illsa?

plucky flax
#

What's your staff?

weary crane
#

Surge

rigid sky
#

I wouldn't use Deimos with Surge tbh

#

It's redundant

#

Illisi makes a lot more sense

weary crane
#

But my deimos is 550😞😞😞

vestal fulcrum
plucky flax
#

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.

weary crane
#

I'm only using assail because it can make use of weakspot and crit

rigid sky
#

Tbh the end number is just something for the sake of satisfaction

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

550 weapons make you feel happy

cinder moon
#

assail still feels like aimlessly throwing marshmallows to me

rigid sky
#

But my actual bests, some of them are in the 490 range

rigid sky
plucky flax
#

My surge build use smite illisi surge with creeping flames.

#

Easiest build to play.

#

Just spam surge and creeping flames to win.

rigid sky
#

They feel so much beefier with Disrupt destiny

cinder moon
rigid sky
#

But DD only really synergises with guns and voidstrike

weary crane
#

I swapped out slaughter dont at me

rigid sky
#

If that meta assail build was with EP then I wouldn't like it either

cinder moon
#

like, i can see brain burst and smite doing work, assail shards just get lost and i have no idea where they're going

rigid sky
#

Do you use aimed Assails too?

cinder moon
#

i also don't enjoy the way aiming assail works

rigid sky
#

If you RMB+LMB throw it costs more peril and does more damage

plucky flax
weary crane
#

Assail cant either decimate a group or randomly hits the ground and does nothing

plucky flax
#

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.

weary crane
#

Ik this was an old build

rigid sky
weary crane
#

I think i got it in the old talent system lol

#

When slaughterer was insane

cinder moon
#

DD is also frustrating because it's totally random which targets get highlighted

rigid sky
#

Old Slaughterer was so good it worked even with zero synergy, yeah

cinder moon
#

and DD has limited range for highlighting targets, which is stupid considering assail is ranged

plucky flax
#

23 mins game nearly 500k damage 4 psykers 3 surge staves.

rigid sky
#

Voidstrike or guns can penetrate a crowd to kill an embedded DD target

upper sun
#

3 psyker games are either 20 minutes or 40 minutes

rigid sky
#

Or assail can randomly kill them too

upper sun
#

no middle ground

cinder moon
#

or i could just use smite

#

which always works

#

DD/assail is basically playing a slot machine with blitz, i hate it

upper sun
#

YES YES MORE RNG

rigid sky
#

DD is power fantasy stuff

cinder moon
#

if your power fantasy is not being able to deal with the target you want to deal with

rigid sky
#

Hit 15 stacks and absolutely fucking murder everything

cinder moon
#

and having some random poxwalker get highlighted

plucky flax
#

Oh realised that game was 4 psykers. One dude used revolver and 3 surge.

cinder moon
#

i have yet to see more than the one good assail/dd psyker in my randoms

plucky flax
#

There's no good psykers obviously.

cinder moon
#

had a guy who actually knew how to rmb/lmb assail

plucky flax
#

Bad class.

cinder moon
#

but i could tell he was putting in a lot more effort to be effective

#

meanwhile i just go zzzzzap hahaha

upper sun
#

360 zap no scope

weary crane
#

Another problem with assail is pox bursters

#

It pushes them towards you

potent echo
weary crane
#

And the fact it take 50 minutes to reach a sniper because its dancing around everywhere

cinder moon
#

meanwhile voidstrike and surge do exactly what i want

potent echo
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

wind spruce
#

Between voidstrike and venting shriek it's incredibly easy to maintain stacks

cinder moon
#

why would i want a skill that marks things i'm not trying to deal with?

wind spruce
#

And poxwalkers can't even get marked lol

vestal fulcrum
#

And toughness replenishment, potentially, at least in desperate moments

wind spruce
#

You're getting shit tons back from warp kills and crits anyway

rich spindle
vestal fulcrum
#

Hence desperate moments - I know the vast majority of toughness uptime is granted by skills up in the tree

wind spruce
vestal fulcrum
#

It’s indeed pretty shit

rich spindle
#

rly

weary crane
#

Inner traquil is the best talent

#

🤷‍♂️

potent echo
#

You have much better places to put that skill point

wind spruce
wind spruce
#

It's so unnecessary with how quick quelling is now

rich spindle
#

i dont like to take inner tranquil either. I like to keep my peril high

weary crane
#

Only if you have 30%

#

Which is on the way to warp siphon anyway

potent echo
#

Inner tranquility the one that gives peril offset on kill? I want high peril so it actually hinders my playstyle

weary crane
#

It's best paired with shield thougg

wind spruce
#

Wut

rich spindle
#

I usually just quell for half a second and cast again

weary crane
#

Still disrupts warp flurry

wind spruce
wind spruce
vestal fulcrum
#

It can keep you at high peril for an unspecified and unpredictable amount of time, very rarely still

wind spruce
#

Warp flurry doesn't drop off like it used to

potent echo
#

What does it mean that it keeps you at high peril

vestal fulcrum
#

Inner Tranq is not doing much at all

rich spindle
vestal fulcrum
weary crane
#

Deploy shield -> no charges, no peril res -> start killing -> gain warp charges and peril res -> continue killing at high peril

potent echo
#

You can do all that without talents

#

Peril res is also messes with edging which I hate

rich spindle
#

pause

weary crane
#

🤨

radiant frigate
potent echo
#

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

rich spindle
#

toughness gain with peril seems so good tho 🤔
basically +5% every few seconds during a fight

radiant frigate
#

from building peril you do not get that much

#

you get more from quelling

#

usually you do not need both

rich spindle
#

overkill?

vestal fulcrum
upper sun
#

you get more toughness from crits and its also a path to perfect timing

rich spindle
#

I could get 2 more warp charges if I take it off, so I guess i'll try that

vestal fulcrum
#

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

potent echo
#

It's like 5% toughness per staff cast, you probably get alot more from warp kills

rich spindle
#

yes i always take quietude

rigid sky
potent echo
#

Quietude also makes more sense as you usually want toughness back after an exchange with shooters. Not really the other way round

radiant frigate
#

quietude also gives you a chunk of toughness when you use shriek

rich spindle
#

does it?

rigid sky
rich spindle
#

I thought it was manual quell only

radiant frigate
#

nope

potent echo
#

Any source of quelling

radiant frigate
#

all quell

rigid sky
rich spindle
#

wow. i was lied to

potent echo
#

Even exorcist I think lol

rich spindle
#

I stopped taking wildfire recently too

potent echo
#

Wildfire is 🤷‍♂️

rich spindle
#

does it uh. stack with staff crit soulblaze to 7 stacks

potent echo
#

No

rich spindle
#

yeah thats what I thought

rigid sky
#

Psyker dies when you take melee hits while below 100% toughness

radiant frigate
#

well, so does vet

rigid sky
#

It's not just about overall total toughness gain over the course of a full match

potent echo
#

Vet has 50 more HP so they can take 1 extra hit usually

rigid sky
#

It's about minimising windows where you are below 100%

vestal fulcrum
radiant frigate
rigid sky
#

Every source of replenishment you can get your hands on counts

potent echo
#

Ah I'm thinking toughness nvm

vestal fulcrum
#

And VoC/Infiltrate is an instant toughness replenishment button, so that also helps

potent echo
#

In trouble? Press F

rigid sky
#

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

rigid sky
#

Probably only worth it if running EP keystone

rich spindle
#

constant toughness regen uptime

radiant frigate
rich spindle
#

some vets are so lazy they just shout and let the burster blow on them

potent echo
#

I think you would usually want toughness in chunks, things are either going well or going really bad, there's hardly an in between

rigid sky
#

Since EP keystone frees up lots of points

vestal fulcrum
#

That ability is obscene

rigid sky
radiant frigate
rigid sky
#

And I don't know they are there until they bonk me

potent echo
#

Just have the VT2 shift mashing reflex on hearing the hit warning sound KEKW_ogryn

rigid sky
#

I swear sometimes the sound is late

#

Or absent

potent echo
#

The sound is indeed scuffed

rich spindle
#

a lot of people dont take the brain burst speed after ability upgrade

#

I love it for boss dmg

vestal fulcrum
potent echo
#

It is pretty decent stress-free boss damage

#

But get me in there with a Deimos whatthefuck_heresy

#

I will single handedly grief my team by going for boss dps instead of killing specials

rich spindle
#

i think its probably the best beast of nurgle killer outside of scriers gaze shenanagins

rigid sky
#

I've been considering dropping the 5 crit node for it

rich spindle
#

i drop wildfire and EE

rigid sky
#

But mettle and EE synergies

#

I already skip wildfire

rich spindle
#

true aim on purg?

rigid sky
#

Also skipped, I don't even have Kinetic deflection

rich spindle
#

EE seems too rng to me

#

I guess it saves some gunner /trash chip

rigid sky
#

It's difficult to casually quantify

rich spindle
#

also i dont know if the "immune for 1 sec" is lying or not lol

rigid sky
#

Mah build

#

Warp Siphon too damn expensive

weary crane
#

Are you using surge?

#

Mine is very similar

rigid sky
#

I think we were talking about this yesterday

#

It's my purgatus build

weary crane
#

Oh yeah

#

I cant remember who said it but someone did more soulblaze damage with surge than purga

rich spindle
weary crane
#

Purga just takes too long to kill with too little stun

rigid sky
#

Shriek adds a lot

#

I can Shriek every 10s or so, maybe more

potent echo
#

Sometimes deflector for warp6

weary crane
#

Mettle should be enough with high crit chance

rigid sky
#

Purgatus takes a long time to kill 1

#

But the same time to kill 20

rich spindle
rigid sky
#

I wish I could see how much EE is helping

potent echo
rigid sky
#

It sounds incredible

potent echo
#

It only scales with density

rigid sky
#

But I can't know for sure

potent echo
rigid sky
#

My idea is that brain rupture is my team's last resort for killing certain targets

rigid sky
potent echo
#

Ah, I run it but it's inconsistent

#

Sometimes it helps you dodge 8 shotgunners

rich spindle
#

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

rigid sky
#

Swiss cheese model, innit

potent echo
#

Sometimes you get shot to shit

rigid sky
#

Stack as many layers of "sometimes protects you" as you can

potent echo
#

It saved me once vs a sniper

rigid sky
#

Suddenly they die

potent echo
#

As long as you don't rely on it blindly or give up something else I think it gives nice extra leeway

potent echo
rigid sky
#

It's just another layer on top of soulsteal, mettle, essence harvest, quietitude

rich spindle
#

but there's also 4 ragers and maulers behind them so I need my trauma staff stagger crutch

rigid sky
#

Trauma is better imo, generally

#

But variety is fun

potent echo
#

Purge lmb can stagger all of them though

rigid sky
#

And Purgatus is good enough

potent echo
#

It's almost equivalent to a trauma

#

Just that it doesn't stagger crushers

rigid sky
#

I find you get a lot of use from the force sword push attacks

#

Using purgatus

potent echo
#

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

rigid sky
#

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

rich spindle
#

i cant get bursters to explode after purg stagger

potent echo
#

I like to camp in the little room near the gate

#

There, it is unbeatable

rigid sky
#

Hit them a little later

potent echo
#

Push them after you hear them jump

rigid sky
#

They have an animation change when they prime to blow

rich spindle
#

at that point I just melee push 😭

rigid sky
#

If your staff is already out though

#

Also if they are pouncing somebody else further away

potent echo
#

Do the staff special KEKW_ogryn

rich spindle
#

thats dangerous muscle memory to build

#

ill try that with trauma staff

potent echo
#

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

rigid sky
#

I love the range on the PA part

potent echo
#

It's a really nice buff but kinda out of nowhere

rigid sky
#

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

potent echo
#

They also let you dodge out of activation attacks

#

Before Deimos? Yea people should use it more to stop crushers or ragers

rigid sky
#

Yeah. It was between that and it being one of the few weapons that could oneshot Mutants at the time

weary crane
#

What other psyker weapons have crit stat?

#

Surge is the only one with crit bonus right?

still hearth
#

For the staves, yeah.

weary crane
#

Yondu build

near wyvern
# weary crane 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

weary crane
#

Anticipation you mean?

smoky wigeon
#

@near wyvern IS IT BUGGED? oh goddamn

#

I'm having the hardest time comprehending synergy in psyker

weary crane
#

Well the fact it doesnt work with riposte i think is a bug too

smoky wigeon
#

It feels like my blessing just don't really...affect my overall build on my melee weapon

potent echo
#

melee psyker KEKW_ogryn

#

they do have really good melee weapons but the talent tree doesnt have real support

smoky wigeon
#

I mean with the demios I can 1 shot so much

potent echo
#

yea with DD it one shots even more consistently

smoky wigeon
#

What's DD

potent echo
#

right keystone

smoky wigeon
#

I rock DD

potent echo
#

yea

smoky wigeon
#

I actually dig that keystone a lot

potent echo
#

im just waiting for one day they add some attack speed talent to psyker

smoky wigeon
#

I thought it was gonna be bad keeping 15 stacks

potent echo
#

3 per headpoke is easy to reach 15

#

even if you drop it its not the worst

smoky wigeon
#

What do y'all do for bosses? Monstrosities?

#

Should I just be spamming flame thrower staff since that's what I rock?

weary crane
#

Kinetic deflection and unstable power for bosses

smoky wigeon
#

Ah ..just block through the attacks

#

Then resume my fire spam

weary crane
#

Block the attacks to charge up then hit at max peril

smoky wigeon
#

Since I do more damage with more peril?

weary crane
#

If you have unstable power and warp rider yes

smoky wigeon
#

Kk.

What do y'all do for survivability?

upper sun
#

death

#

if things are dead they can not hurt you

smoky wigeon
#

I do so damn WELL but one mistake and I'm dead

upper sun
#

ikr

smoky wigeon
#

Guess that's the psyker life

upper sun
#

there was nothing i could do 😭

weary crane
smoky wigeon
#

For curios what do y'all do?

#

I refuse to use smite lol

upper sun
#

stam toughness hp

smoky wigeon
#

Stan got blocking?

#

I don't think I block enough tbh

upper sun
#

dodging is better than blocking anyways

smoky wigeon
#

I dodge like a fucking lunatic

#

So we are destined to have 2 wounds huh?

upper sun
#

yes 🙂

smoky wigeon
#

Fuk

smoky wigeon
#

@weary crane that's beautiful

#

I just don't wanna use smite hehe

weary crane
#

Yeah

#

I wish it did crits

smoky wigeon
#

I like assail too much

weary crane
#

The main problem with assail is it stops you from getting some of the best talents

#

Does ranged damaged boost affect smite?

upper sun
#

it should

#

everything that isnt bleed burn melee or soulblaze should be considered ranged damage as far as i know

smoky wigeon
#

@weary crane what talents

weary crane
#

Psykinetic aura, and if you go for crit chance you cant get shriek

smoky wigeon
#

Shriek is good for crit chance?

still hearth
#

Going for crit chance

#

Kinda cringe

smoky wigeon
#

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?

vestal fulcrum
#

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

still hearth
#

Keep rolling

weary crane
#

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

vestal fulcrum
#

Things don’t have to die from Soulblaze for In Fire Reborn to proc

#

They just have to be affected by Soulblaze

weary crane
#

Really? It says killing an enemy with soulblaze

#

Thats ambiguous

vestal fulcrum
smoky wigeon
#

You can get 30 percent damage DD is that worth it

potent echo
#

their first language isnt english so you can give them the benefit of doubt

smoky wigeon
#

But I guess that's a crit chance build? Idfk

vestal fulcrum
smoky wigeon
#

@vestal fulcrum so...stick with 15?

#

Is 15 worth it idfk idfk

potent echo
#

the extended duration one is better imo

#

15 is enough to let you hit most BP against mobs

#

like void oneshot gunner head etc

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

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

rigid sky
#

Deflector doesn't work while reviving fwiw

#

Used to but not now

plucky flax
#

Run whatever works for you tho

rigid sky
#

That is true. I do love deflector.

#

It feels like it's relevant maybe one game in 5

#

but it saves that game entirely

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

#

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)

halcyon gust
#

Assail for better horde clear, Brain Rupture for better single target on stuff like Crushers

mental rock
#

Gun psykers go assail usually

patent steeple
#

the only problem will be not having access to Mind in Motion tho

just dodge slide while quelling

Or to instantly quell. Go pop inosukek

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

patent steeple
#

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...

rigid sky
#

Anticipation is slightly less good than it seems

mental rock
#

Yeah anticipation does not increase dodge duration atm

radiant frigate
#

take both mettle and soulstealer

rigid sky
#

I would probably drop the peril gain gives toughness one

radiant frigate

warp expenditure kinda meh

quietude 👍🏻

rigid sky
#

Hmm actually though

patent steeple
#

yeah.. I have been using warp expenditure this whole time on gunker...

rigid sky

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 don't work so well with Gaze iirc

They don't affect its cooldown right?

"let me just enter my burst phase and- where are my damage stacks"

Yeah DD will also get you true aim which is nutty

You have to take the 30 second duration variant

It's easiest (and strongest) with guns, voidstrike, and assail

Also if your DD is about to fall off it's safer to just pull your gun out and execute the blue bastard

I cannot exactly afford both Toughness Gain talents, if that's what you mean...

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

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

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

jovial juniper
#

Indeed

vestal fulcrum
#

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)

Like Exorcist blessing on FS, which is garbage whatthefuck_heresy

jovial juniper

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

vestal fulcrum
#

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
