like you dont even need flurry it already charges up fast

rigid sky
#

Flurry is best of a bad bunch

#

Also charging it up longer just means it shoots more

upper sun
#

and arguably flurry is even bad on it since it lowers peril production

rigid sky
#

You can just spam min duration ones for hectic play

stoic thorn
#

Am I missing something with the Psyker Atheneum? Does it say Unyielding on the Accatran Las because flak or maniac dont help it reach any breakpoints or something

upper sun
#

more boss damage prolly check its unyielding modifiers

#

i wouldnt know im not much of a gunker

stoic thorn
#

Yeah valid, i'll probably just hop in the meat grinder when i get home to see how it feels

stoic thorn
upper sun
#

every colum i rolled on zealot and vet turned into a god roll

#

everyone i tried for psyker bricked

#

i think its hardron's way of telling me to stick to staves

stoic thorn
#

She gave me a demi-god surge staff which was nice, honestly i've been having way too much fun with destiny + scrier's and my force sword lately

#

you have infinite toughness and like ~+50% movespeed while killing, you feel like a caveman

rigid sky
#

You mean the pistol?

stoic thorn

upper sun
#

🤔

#

is crit damage good on voidstrike with surge

#

does the double crit count?

untold niche
#

wat u mean

#

like wats the context

stoic thorn
#

crit damage is a bait stat that doesnt work how it should

#

If a gun on crit does 100 + 50 on a crit it becomes 100 + 1.1(50) instead of 1.1(150)

#

So 155 instead of 165

halcyon gust
#

Yay a 17% Toughness.....But it is more another class pain

stoic thorn
#

I swear getting toughness relics is the hardest thing on earth

halcyon gust
#

I'm on the hunt of a +3 stamina on my vet

upper sun
#

but for surge is it a double crit instead?

spice veldt
#

yeah

#

but it's still proportionally a (normal hit - crit hit) * 10%

#

the fact that it's a double crit is just the status quo

#

if it didn't apply to the second projecitle, then you'd be getting the benefit only half the time, in which case the average benefit would be
(normal hit - crit) * 10% * 50%

upper sun
#

yeah

#

so its least horrible with void

#

and only like 50% of the time

spice veldt
#

though not because of surge but because you're critting a lot

upper sun
#

50% OF THE TIME WORKS EVERY TIME

untold niche
#

wai normal hit minus crit hit
me me dumbo

spice veldt
#

that's how you calculate the bonus crit damage

upper sun
spice veldt
#

if you do 120 on a crit, and 100 on a normal hit, then (120 - 100) = 20 is the bonus damage from critting

upper sun
#

like this is the sheet for a columnus infgun

upper sun
#

10% of 230 is 23 you would think you get that much extra on an unarmored hit

#

but in reality its only 10% of (230-104) about 12 extra

rigid sky
#

And bear in mind also, CIAG is one of the best case weapons for that

upper sun
#

ye

rigid sky
#

Some weapons get like a 20% bonus on crit

upper sun
#

its the thing i had open at the time

rigid sky
#

Most ogryn weapons for instance

tulip kettle
#

i got

#

guns

#

hoes

#

#

#

you should know!

upper sun

rich spindle
#

I keep my +10% crit damage on illisi

#

I nkw believe that maniac damage on melees is bad unless you need it to one shot muties

halcyon gust
#

Muties and Dreg Ragers in a pinch

rich spindle
#

Being backed up in a corner where you cant ranged attack a rager and need to melee them happens like 1/20 games for me

halcyon gust
#

I tend to Melee ragers often as they ignore my teammates and go straight for me inosukek

#

Sure charge at me. I have full stacks of Unstable power and one swing of my sword will behead you after warping it up

rich spindle
#

Lol im not even risking a hit

#

Since they attack with both axes and you always take health damage on hit

halcyon gust
#

If I take some scratch damage from a rager. I take some damage

#

Most of my psyker deaths is popping my brain out inosukek

stoic thorn
#

Damage is an overrated stat roll

#

the true awakening 🙏🏿

plucky flax
#

Maniac melee is bad and same with flak on gun!

#

In fact I only play white weapons.

#

All perks and blessings are bad!

#

Weird way of thinking about it, as if every staff needs to excel at everything all the time. It does well at specialist and elite hunting and cc, and nerfs to assail doesn't hurt or change that.

stoic thorn
#

I mean tbh the problem with surge is that it cant reach any breakpoints without critting

#

It's fun and I like using it though

green pilot
#

Surge is good, the only problem I have with it is I keep popping my brain out with it 🤣

lmao felt that in my bones

every time I stop playing gunker if I'm not using venting shriek I'll int from lack of remembering 💀

My favorite was overloading from charging my Illisi when I swapped or from a las pistol push

#

I guarantee you I know it more than you, and voidstrike is better than rending trauma

viscid matrix
#

Trauma is an aquired taste, you have to like placing circles by looking up

wind spruce
#

I love trauma

digital narwhal
#

Stroking your own ego is a fast pass way to get people to hate you.

crude vortex
#

"I know more than you" source?

#

Trauma is a tricky one but it's fun to send things flying once you learn the tricks

digital narwhal
#

Also, Trauma's better.

crude vortex
#

Can't aim? Purgie

rigid sky
#

I mean, Blaze Trauma is better than Rending Trauma generally imo

digital narwhal
rigid sky
#

I think voidstrike is overall better than rending Trauma, it's more or less even with Blaze trauma (or slightly worse than it)

digital narwhal
#

Watching everything burn even harder is funny

rigid sky
#

My trauma builds are usually dome

balmy zephyr
#

bro psyker penances make me wanna reach max peril

rigid sky
#

It's a kind of tank psyker

balmy zephyr
#

i just got the going out with a bang penance and the game didnt even count it cause we got clapped

#

no storm witch outfit for me

rigid sky
#

Man try old style going out with a bang

#

You used to have to get a triple

balmy zephyr
#

im not saying it isnt easy it just sucks that

#

the game didnt even counti t

digital narwhal
#

Plus, Brittleness does actually benefit Trauma ever since the rework to Rending and Brittleness, so it's not entirely a team support Blessing, like it used to be once upon a September (before October 4th).

rigid sky
#

Actually did you actually kill an Elite with it, and not a specialist?

balmy zephyr
#

yes

#

the game literally said i got the penance

#

it shows the achievement in my account

orchid shadow
balmy zephyr

but no drip

rigid sky
#

Well shit

#

Restart maybe

balmy zephyr
#

im gonna rejoin and see if the game stopped me sucky and actually

#

yep

rigid sky
#

It should have worked regardless of mission completion

balmy zephyr
#

i know

#

whixch is crazy

#

i got cliffhanger and it worked like that

#

except we won

#

wish me luck ill tell yall if i got it

rigid sky
#

I still need malleus monstronum :/

#

Annoying penance

digital narwhal
#

Surge needs another fat rework; the auto aim is providing so much ease of use that it's likely hampering potential buffs to reach key breakpoints due to it.

#

Plus, Surge is boring.

rigid sky
#

But my friends started playing again recently

#

So I might see if I can get them to help some day

stoic thorn
#

Honestly I'd take a nerf to Dirupt Destiny's damage if they made it so that stacks fall off one at a time and speed up after the first one if over

Not going for admiration doesn't mean it's suddenly fine to approach a situation with a comment that could make one come across as feeling superior.
The whole "I know more than you" is an easy way for people to just ignore you.

Good day, sir.

Dude, get off your high horse.

Or something.

I dunno.

wind spruce
#

There we go

#

You're finally getting that this isn't that serious

digital narwhal
#

I mean, I just think it's incredibly weird to hit someone with the "I know more than you" without an elaboration to your point, as it makes you come off as feeling as if you're superior to others.
I genuinely replied to you in an attempt to perhaps see if you didn't know that was the vibe that was being communicated, but it seems you don't care.

#

Why approach you with civility when you clearly don't care for it?

wind spruce

They said I don't know about blazing trauma and rending trauma

why suppress a man

before stunning him

vestal fulcrum
proper osprey

Just by killing one

vestal fulcrum
#

Yeah, but, why?

rigid sky
#

I think it emanates from you, not from the target, right?

#

the TB part

vestal fulcrum
#

You really don't need to specialize in shooter killing typically

proper osprey
#

And giving you breathing room

rigid sky
#

like the Surge itself already suppresses

#

around the target

vestal fulcrum
rigid sky
#

maybe you're looking at the weapon's natural suppression and are attributing it to TB?

vestal fulcrum
#

If you want to suppress shooters

#

Just LMB at their general position in their general direction

orchid shadow
#

That's what LMB bolt spam is for. Terrifying barrage is useless.

rigid sky
#

It's like this rock I have that stops me from being attacked by orks

I've never been attacked by an ork since I picked it up

so it must be working

#

one day i will find whoever thought up terrifying barrage and i will unplug their fridge right after they go on holiday

proper osprey
#

They hate suppression

vestal fulcrum
#

Actually, we just prefer having a typically more generalist blessing on Surge whatthefuck_heresy

upper sun
#

what if surge worked for surge

vestal fulcrum
#

Suppression from LMB is strong enough, and for TB to work, you basically have to be up the faces of shooters

viscid matrix
rigid sky
#

I like suppression, I just think TB is a bad source of it

vestal fulcrum
upper sun
#

actually i bet thats the exact reason they didnt add it

because surge surge sounds fucking stupid

I'd always rather have another blessing

even on Purgatus which only has one really good blessing

tbh surge might be one of the most fun staves but it is kinda underpowered

I know they're not worth it on flamer but I think they'd work better on purgatus

upper sun

the secondary target deals like what 10% damage?

I guess? DD is pretty low effort imo, just kill a highlighted dude every now and then

rich spindle

Siphon is lazy

#

Have you tried DD with trauma staff

#

I figured youd be missing out on yhe weakspot damage

fluid forge
#

thing is trauma will work regardless of keystone because it's trauma

rich spindle
#

Well, true

fluid forge
#

all you need is the right blessings and it'll delete everything

spice veldt
#

i run DD with trauma cuz i really just use assail + melee and then whip out trauma for danger scenarios

#

it's still +15% damage and +30% or whatever crit damage so there's that

#

and i can just shoot trauma when i have 5 true aim stacks and call it a day

#

hopefully they fix surge (blessing) before weapon rebalances so i get to experience surge + blazing spirit with true aim

rich spindle
#

But muh shriek spam

#

6 stacks blaze on crot would be funny

makes sense

#

I really hate how warp charges work tho

maybe I don't want to expend them all when I press F y'know

No. Charging while sliding / quelling while sliding is known "tech"

that staf will take down flak pretty easily

sadly every one one my attempts to use it has failed miserably

IDK wtf it is but each time I try ot use it I get singled out first in each of my auric runs

gave up after dying to the first horde in a run and left to find another game because i was basically dead weight

next turret

it pulls stuff at you for sure but it tickles more than just the target you grab

i use it with assail and a good illisi that makes things easier

but i got very lucky with the psyker swords

exce;pt the dueelling ones hadron juves me a apaerweight every time i try

i even used one as a dorrstop

just wondering, is surge staff viable without warp charges? or does it need them to be good?

yeah i just stagger everything with shock

plucky flax
#

Just spam creeping flames.

ornate hamlet
#

Warp charges with the current enemy density (unless they reduced it while I was away) are pretty chill to get

#

Since you don't need to brain burst like you used to and can just slap the enemies on the base talent (specialists only?) and still rely on the 4% from your team killing shit to get the charges back very quickly

#

And if you are in a situation where you're not getting charges back, you likely don't need them or are fighting a boss for maybe a bit long

i don't like smite w/ warp charges

guys, about disrupt destiny keystone

the modifier that increase the duration of disrupt destiny from 15s to 30s, what exactly does it affect? the duration an enemy is marked, or the duration of the precision bonus buff?

plucky flax
#

The buff duration.

zenith vigil
#

thanks

#

look like something from a medieval fantasy game 😂

rich spindle
#

wouldnt crit damage be good on surge

plucky flax
#

Raw damage is better.

rich spindle
#

why

#

raw is only against select enemies

plucky flax
#

Crit rely on you critting, also the way the bonus works is very little.

#

It's a percentage of the extra damage.

rich spindle
#

wouldn't the bonus be appreciable for surge?

plucky flax
#

It's not worth it on any weapon. Even knife where you crit every other hit.

potent echo
rich spindle
#

just surge

potent echo
#

Depends if you have specific breakpoint in mind

rich spindle
#

no breakpoint, just universal damage

potent echo
#

I rather have crit chance because a crit will usually kill gunners or some specials where a normal surge wouldn't

#

Universal damage crit damage is the worst lol

rich spindle
#

good point

potent echo
#

If you average out over a whole run it's going to be miniscule

rich spindle
#

people say that but I want to see the specific math for surge

#

isnt the crit bonus damage big?

potent echo
#

You mean like rolling crit damage perk or smth?

rich spindle
#

yeah

potent echo
#

You just check the table in game

rich spindle
#

yeah im doing that now

potent echo
#

There's no real surge staff numbers since it's random, you would need to do data collecting 😴

rich spindle
#

looks like ~140 extra crit damage so 14 extra damage when you crit

#

well, you can approximate with good staff rolls

potent echo
#

14 extra damage maybe like 50% of the time at max warp nexus with max crit stat

rich spindle
#

yes on both flak and maniac

#

and unarmored

#

only about 5 on carapace and 8 unyielding

#

waiiiit im looking at primary fire......

#

🤦🏻‍♂️

potent echo
#

yea hence my point on data collecting lol

rich spindle
#

Huh

potent echo
#

does the table show the surge damage?

rich spindle
#

The damage table of the staff? Yeah thats what im looking st

potent echo
#

can i ask for a screenshot? dont have access to the game now

rich spindle
#

looks like about unarmored +40, flak +20, carapace about 20, maniac 40

#

unyielding uhhhh idk how my perk changes it on the table

potent echo
#

yea just raw +10% vs elites will be better

rich spindle
#

gunners are elites right

potent echo
#

yea

#

gunners/shotgunners are all flak

#

so generally recommended you do 25% flak on surge

#

it will hit shotgunner 1k hp

#

with extra help it might hit scab gunner 1200 or dreg gunner 1400

rich spindle
#

gunners have 900 health right

potent echo
#

wasnt it 1k? i forgor

#

i know scab gunner is 1200 and dreg gunner is 1400

rich spindle
potent echo
#

shotgunners are both 1k

rich spindle
#

I really like unyielding for boss damage, and because I use surge on bulwarks so much to open them up

potent echo
#

so surge with 25% flak should one shot them reliably

rich spindle
#

but one shotting gunners is so good

potent echo
#

yea you just open and finish with sword

rich spindle
#

it sucks having to waste peril on them

potent echo
#

2 shocks vs 1 shock is a big diff when you rolling up on a bunch of gunners

#

if you crit you can oneshot dreg gunner

#

trying to hit raw oneshot dreg gunner is going to be difficult you need alot of buffs like WC, warp rider, perfect timing

rich spindle
#

yea

potent echo
#

but its possible

#

flamer oneshot also challenging, you will need a crit

rich spindle

Cloud as close to max as possible, and Burn at least 76%

I never really understood the point of the purgatus or the flamer

The flamer is nuts

And it used to be even more nuts when the game was wilder

rocky yarrow
#

Really?

#

I only used it a brief time and the damage didn't really inspire me

still hearth
#

Pretty much everything in the game dies once you hit the stack cap of burn and use chastise.

#

The big thing to consider is

#

It has infinite cleave

#

In a 21m cone

#

That will apply burn to anything in that cone

#

It's a weapon you don't pull out unless there's a ton of enemies that need to die real soon

rocky yarrow
#

True

still hearth
#

So yeah I don't use it

#

But it can completely wipe the floor with anything

#

Six crushers, a billion ragers and a horde? The flamer kills that in a few seconds.

#

But sometimes it just isn't a good choice to take out

#

The purgatus is like a light-weight flamer that you just spam to clear trash

rocky yarrow
#

I'll give it a try, my zealot needs something new

still hearth
#

It was my favorite staff until Surge became what it is, even if I think purgatus is the worst staff rn

rocky yarrow
#

Yeah surge is busted

#

I used it for a while and thought it was busted and that was before I realised the range you can get on it

surge is kinda mid

They need to stop giving melee weapons so much cleave and make Trauma's outer circle not apply soulblaze

Idk why we have three staves focusing on clearing in AoE

And one is just better than the others

#

Though Voidstrike is kind of not a big contender

rocky yarrow
#

Funny

#

Voidstrike is like the only one I use

still hearth
#

I used to consider Trauma the worst because it's so cumbersome and it didn't feel that effective

#

But it's genuinely the best staff if you can use it

rocky yarrow
#

How do you use it?

still hearth
#

It's just about how to aim with the circle really

#

And using the mobility that staves have like sliding forward while charging up

rocky yarrow
#

Thanks for the advice

And abusing the knockdown when threatened

rocky yarrow

That'll last me till next content drop 💀

The one issue it has is "range" but

Not still perfect. BB needs to trigger all on kill effects from your currently active talents on target death. Even if you could meet super good break points you still will run into the problem of racing to kill. Someone kills your target and you are still simply wasting time.

If it would trigger on kill effects you could at least get Warp Siphon charges, trigger perilous combustion, gain EP charges and so on.

quartz barn
#

thats why i only use bb as a support tool whenever my target tries to run away behind a corner

staffs/guns simply kill faster and damage surrounding targets as well, so unless you're dealing with something like a sniper thats far away and hard to hit there's little to no point to charging your hands for a single kill

radiant frigate
#

melee psyker absolutely works

#

there's 2 schools of thought for it

#

SG route and shriek route

#

SG melee can do some silly things, think like crusher twoshots with dueling sword

#

shriek route you presumable would be bringing illisi or assail

#

which shreds everything else, and armor just takes a little longer

#

i prefer the shriek route because it allows you to be more of a generalist

#

and that's mostly because shriek is pretty versatile

#

teammate lagged behind and got dogged behind 5 corners but within 25m range? shriek it off

#

or the opposite, and someone got too far ahead? same deal

#

see a horde? press f to make it go away

#

looked away for half a second and there's a rager wave in melee with you? shriek can give you some breathing room to recover and kill them

#

or to clear space for a res on a downed teammate

#

all things that SG won't really do for you
