idk yesterday only lost 1

#

only because someone decided to hit a barrel

#

Not so much anymore, unless they're newbs lol psykers stonk

plucky flax
#

No I win every game.

dark stag
#

what does a good void staff look like?

cinder moon
#

like this, but with specialist perk swapped out for something else

#

could also have flurry instead of surge, but surge is fun

dark stag
#

thx, also did they nerf the stagger on the purg staff? I remember being able to push crushers back with the left click.

upper sun
upper sun
#

unironically

dark stag
#

is warp res a dump stat for void?

upper sun
#

void might be the one place where crit damage might work

upper sun
#

if you click view stats you can see how everything scales

dark stag
#

ok for hadron?

upper sun
#

like for example penetration on many things scales from 80-110%

#

so 60% isnt awful

dark stag
#

alr

marble crater
dark stag
#

SHE'S REAL

upper sun
#

ayo nice

dark stag
#

could slap nexus on it actually

#

is nexus better then flurry?

upper sun
#

for surge the usual pick is nexus

#

since more crit chance gives you more doubles

dark stag
#

what perk should I upgrade?

rigid sky
#

Depends on the builds tbh

rigid sky
#

Specialists could be a few different things

dark stag
#

alr

upper sun
#

yeah pretty much whatever you want. i would go flak but carap/maniac/elite are all good picks

untold niche
#

i don't even run crit chance
cara + maniac (only things im scared of :p)

upper sun

upper sun
#

the game legit spawns more flak brusiers/groaners/bursters behind me when i play psyker

#

i am not joking

stand infront of ur team

delusional? maybe but it feels that way

#

no more zombie behind u

upper sun

but then shooters shred me

stand infront of ur team but near wall

#

ezpz

upper sun
#

ah yes the goon cave strategy

#

find a nice comfy wall and just shoot from there

how dare u call me goon cave

upper sun

its a valid term!

upper sun
#

damn cant believe evolution made us give up being this flexible

untold niche
#

i think some peole can still do that

upper sun
#

yeah

#

but very few are born being able to do that without a lot of stretching

#

10 min loading screen

#

very nice

marble crater
upper sun
#

aaaaaaand now the screen is just black with the yellow spinning logo

#

cant even queue up for a mission

#

nice

marble crater
#

It's just a lights out modifier

upper sun
#

im sorry but how the fuck are "Change Your DNS" and "Delete Darktide AppData" the same solutions to the same issue

#

this is code for we dont know what the problem is

cinder moon
#

happened to me just now

upper sun
#

u in my game

cinder moon
#

i was on fite-knite

#

went to QP and had black screen

upper sun
#

hmm then nah

#

actually

#

im not gonna leave

#

ill just let more people join then leave to enjoy this bug with me

Look mum I'm famous.

#

is lasgun any good for gunker?

#

seen it a lot on gunker lately

radiant frigate
#

it ok

rigid sky
#

Laspistol generally better

#

Infantry lasguns decent

#

Recon lasguns shit

#

They have bad Finesse values

radiant frigate
#

recon lasguns are generally xd

rigid sky
#

They're better on veteran

#

And they're one of the worse veteran weapons lol

remote bloom
#

They're sad

radiant frigate
#

i wonder if the french would like the funny laser FAMAS

remote bloom
#

Let's not add french into the convo about recon lasguns

#

They're sad as it, no need to make it worse

buoyant maple
upper sun
#

i will not play lasguns on any class until they remove all recoil from them

#

HOW THE FUCK DOES AN ELECTRONIC MACHINE WITH NO MOVING PARTS HAVE RECOIL

#

EXPLAIN IT TO ME

buoyant maple
sonic raven
#

neither do recon lasguns

upper sun
buoyant maple
still hearth
#

They have spread, not recoil.

buoyant maple
remote bloom
#

They do have a sizeable kick, Kantraels at least

#

Especially IV

upper sun
hollow current
#

The recoil is from jerking the trigger. KEKW_ogryn

buoyant maple
upper sun
#

well

#

first of all

#

i said lasguns in my first message

buoyant maple
#

And pretty sure the reason they added “recoil” to lasguns is because having recoil generally conveys the power of a weapon more than its raw stats

rigid sky
#

Infantry lasguns have recoil because the machine spirit has to remind you who's really in charge

upper sun
buoyant maple
upper sun
#

that one has 80 stability btw

rigid sky
#

Photons have mass?

#

I didn't realise they were catholic

buoyant maple
#

As far as I’m concerned if the actual shot grouping is on top of each other then it’s no recoil

radiant frigate
#

kantrael IV recoil 💀

upper sun
#

my cross hairs move and so does my gun

upper sun
buoyant maple
upper sun
#

i dunno i just dont think its very good gameplay to have idential guns handle differently and that stat is kinda harmful to people starting out and having to use guns with zero stability

dark stag
#

does this mean it just jumps to only one more enemy?

upper sun
buoyant maple
remote bloom
#

Vraks 7 with low stability is agonizing

upper sun
buoyant maple
buoyant maple
#

Stability changes the actual recoil’s size

dark stag
#

Oh wait so it lets me chain to way more but it's not very useful cuz there won't be that many enemies usually?

buoyant maple
#

I think someone spawned 120 enemies at once to test what the difference looks like and it’s noticeable there

dark stag
#

around how much enemies can normal smite stun?

hollow current
upper sun
#

if the visual recoil is still the same but the cross hairs bounce all over the place it wouldnt feel good to use

upper sun
hollow current
#

I’d still check in and buy weapons if I could. But yeah. I kinda gave up on crafting too. May as well be the definition of diminishing return. Crafting in darktide.

untold niche
marble crater
#

I want high stability on all my guns for Xbox staregryn

upper sun
#

i want all guns to have all 80 stats

hollow current
#

You mean 100

upper sun
#

nah whatever the current max is

marble crater
#

I want my perfect stat trauma back that got bricked

plucky flax
#

Perfect trauma? It's impossibru.

rigid sky
#

Melk has this in store today for me lmao

plucky flax
#

Not bad. pogryn

rigid sky
#

This is my current one so I'll snap it up just for warp nexus

#

but which one should I actually use lol

#

I think the 370 is still better

#

but idk

plucky flax
#

Yeah more radius damage.

#

I would use the 370.

rigid sky
#

but at least I finally have nexus 4

#

also lmao ds4

#

(although the finesse is poop so nvm that one)

plucky flax
#

Yeah way too low.

#

3 psykers monster maelstrom.

#

Oh boi we gonna have low monster damage.

marble crater
plucky flax
#

I hope the zealot will carry with his monster damage.

#

Tripe 80. pogryn

rigid sky
#

Dunk on the monsters

marble crater
#

Make repeated BB stun monsters loregryn

plucky flax
#

Bruh my game crashed.

#

I was dunking on this map.

upper sun
rigid sky
#

thing of beauty

upper sun
#

i was not meant to play

rigid sky
#

just try to remember to reup your DD during the fight

upper sun
plucky flax
rigid sky
#

tbf I think mine has fire frenzy

#

but I'd like to remake one with raking fire instead

upper sun
#

you have to be within melee range for deathspitter and firefrenzy to activate

rigid sky
#

since swapping to DS4 has made me a little happier fighting closerange crushers, maulers, ragers

#

compared with my old illisi

#

I used to just shoot them

#

but now I lobotomise them

upper sun
#

i swear psyker has better melee weapons than zealot

tacit thicket
rigid sky
#

We just have somewhat worse support

#

flimsy

tacit thicket
rigid sky
#

We need our melee weapons to be super powerful

#

otherwise we're defenseless

tacit thicket
#

Fr

rigid sky
#

If Zealot had force swords and duelling swords they'd be unstoppable

marble crater
#

If Zealot had duelling swords we would only see a blur

rigid sky
#

Duelling swords are already dumb as fuck with SG/DD

#

turns out they hordeclear quite fast if you can onetap any trash mob with light attacks

tacit thicket
#

Especially if you build up your peril and have the Warp Rider Talent then you become unstoppable

wind spruce
upper sun
#

man yesterday i saw telo use DD on surge/assail/ds5 explode die then die again on stream then complain about the class being boring

#

I think people esp testers should only have opinions about classes they play

willow hazel
#

yeah idk I find psyker to be easily the most fun

#

but I do agree with telopots that the staffs are a bit boring. I almost never play with 3/4 of them

upper sun
#

kinda the auto attack and charge are fine

rigid sky
#

I still think the only one I don't like is surge

upper sun
#

but the bonk is stupid

rigid sky
#

just because it's such a basic bitch mechanically

upper sun
#

like why cant we have a unique special activation

#

ogryn gauntlet has a sick melee attack

willow hazel
#

yeah more diverse primaries and specials would be fun

upper sun
#

(also most ogryn ranged weapons apply heavy attack bleed on light attacks which is bullshit and broken)

willow hazel
upper sun
#

Press alt on void= rapid fire mode and charge becomes focus
press alt on surge= aoe .5sec stagger/stun that builds 60% peril
press alt on trauma= do 1 trillion damage because its a very weak staff
alt on purge= i have no idea

rigid sky
#

btw how does warp nexus scale?

#

is it in stages, or continuous?

cinder moon
cinder moon
#

kinda dangerous to use them for stumbling elites/specials, but great for a bunch of bruisers etc

upper sun
#

man my zealot push attacks on most weapons cant even stagger ragers

marble crater
#

Why stagger ragers as a zealot when you can just face tank and kill them chadgryn

upper sun
#

because i dont have a revolver or a dclaw or a crusher

#

its so stupid that the best way to deal with ragers is just shooting them

rigid sky
#

I wouldn't say it's stupid

cinder moon
#

zap em

#

or use dueling sword poke

rigid sky
#

It's ok for there to be melee opponents that are particularly dangerous and resistant to melee

upper sun
#

they actually dont exist for me as a psyker

rigid sky
#

so the best move can be to shoot them dead before they can kill you

upper sun
#

i always thought ragers were trash mobs until i played zealot

marble crater
#

Blow them up or throw them around with trauma

rigid sky
#

...

upper sun
#

yea i just dont know what to do with them as zealot

marble crater
#

Evis mk15 and go ham whatthefuck_heresy

plucky flax
#

Use grenade shoot melee ult.

rigid sky
#

do that.

upper sun
plucky flax
#

What melee weapon?

upper sun
#

evi 15

plucky flax
#

Shoot then for sure.

upper sun
#

i have more than one coming at me im fucked

rigid sky
#

It's what your Zarona's for

#

it's ok, your evis kills literally everything else

#

well, I mean you gotta work a bit to get a sniper with it

#

but you know what I mean

#

on my evis I usually hit chorus if there's multiple

#

but my evis build uses chorus which is kinda a minority pick

upper sun
#

yeah and then i walk away

rigid sky
#

your team hopefully deals with it

upper sun
#

so tru so tru

rigid sky
#

otherwise when it wears off, you can kill at least 2 of them

#

before they start to fight back

#

and you have 100 overtoughness to deal with them

#

so you can take some chips for free

upper sun
#

i was looting in smelter once and a pack of ~10+ came at me

#

blocked a bit then ulted

#

looted the last plasteel meleed a bit had until death then died

#

one jabed me in the back

#

we all died totally worth

radiant frigate
cinder moon
#

just flame broil them

#

if you're not using flamer, are you even a zealot?

upper sun
radiant frigate
upper sun
#

i bet its the same person that made terrifying barrage also gave them hit tracking

#

there is one imposter in the FS office

wind spruce
strong gulch
#

This is just sitting in Brunt's shop.

wind spruce
#

In the context of SG & DD it's not a huge difference

cinder moon
strong gulch
#

I did! 👍

upper sun
#

AND?

#

AAAAND?

strong gulch
#

But also I already have this. So I will just hoard it.

upper sun
#

I have something similar too id love an uncanny executor one

strong gulch
#

My need to know kicked in so I upgraded. It's going badly.

#

BUT WAIT

upper sun
#

i fucking hate hadron so much

#

that @broken lagoon stupid toaster will not stop giving me slaught on deimos and executor on illisi

strong gulch
#

She picks her favorite and then you get one combo. 😭

marble crater
#

Sad

#

Maybe Hadron will get promoted away with the crafting update and what's his name from the Carnival mission takes over

upper sun
#

yeah bring us KX8 hes a real one

#

i hope she gets promoted to vacuum capsules

radiant frigate
tacit thicket
# wind spruce Yes...

Ok but why is not that relevant? Because for me it's really useful especially using the Purgatus Staff with the Scrier's Gaze it gets really powerful

radiant frigate
#

20% extra damage always more gooder

tacit thicket
#

Indeed

#

Also cool name lol

upper sun
#

this is the second time today

#

can we please roll back to 4 hotfixes ago when the game worked and the doors werent bugged

jovial juniper
opaque tendon
#

le wildfire and daemonhost has arrived Sadge

rigid sky
zealous pewter
#

i've actually tried that as well

#

it's not bad

#

i prefer purgatus+scrier's to venting shriek

#

i want to like venting shriek but it seems so mid to me

#

i don't get why it has less stagger than vet shout

spice veldt
#

ragers having undodgeable combos would be fine if the game didn't spam them in ridiculous amounts

calm sapphire
radiant frigate
#

rager spam is a death sentence for most things

radiant frigate
#

i guess ragers can only be outspaced

calm sapphire
calm sapphire
radiant frigate
#

and you can't exactly block multiple ragers

#

well, with KD and a bunch of stamina maybe you can

calm sapphire
radiant frigate
rigid sky
#

Force sword push is good against ragers

#

You can stall until somebody else cleans up

#

If they're all on you

upper sun
#

ragers legit dont exist to psykers

rigid sky
#

Surprise ragers instantly down you

radiant frigate
#

illisi dunks them fantastically

rigid sky
#

But if you know they're there and have the focus for them, you can deal with them

#

DS4 feels great on them too

radiant frigate
#

shriek also deals with them nicely

rigid sky
#

Deimos less so in my experience

upper sun
#

on psyker ive gotten downed from stealth maulers/flak brusiers more than ragers

#

zealot its either barrels/ragers most of the time

#

(vet dies to everything)

calm sapphire
upper sun
#

ill find a way dont tempt me

calm sapphire
#

The one class that can solo DH or other bosses with ez imo

upper sun
#

ogryn does have some bs tbh

#

like light attacks from some ranged weapons applying bleed

#

also built in single target momentum 7 blessing equivalent

calm sapphire
hard dragon
#

Does pick n mix require you to kill 4 different classes of elites
Like
Can you or can you not complete it by brainstorming 4 maulers

spice veldt
#

can be the same type (e.g., 4 gunners)
the description is just wrongfully specific

#

(unless they changed it last time that i did it a year ago)

cosmic sigil
upper sun
#

Thats bs

#

also not on gauntlet

#

why should enemies get 200 stacks of bleed after getting slapped with a kickback with zero ammo twice in 1 second

#

ok well

#

im wrong gaunlet special yes but gaunlet melee m1 no

flint pawn
#

This quickly became my favorite melee weapon to use

#

It feels weird to use knife on Psyker but it's been by far the most dependable melee weapon I've used

royal kettle
#

Need help decide in changing perk (I will change terrifying to flurry). Should I change carp to flak?

radiant frigate
#

but i am also the leader of a death cult so what does it matter what i find weird

remote bloom
#

yes

upper sun
#

id replace carap

radiant frigate
#

kappapace

#

my voidstrike has unarmoured and unyielding 💀

remote bloom
#

Mine has nothing, it's grey for now

#

2 more levels and I'll be rocking Illsi

flint pawn
#

I just used the Illisi but at some point I realized I pretty much never use it, and I felt like my boss damage could've been better too, so my Unyielding + Lacerate knife was born

remote bloom
#

🤨

radiant frigate
#

i guess knife is good if you barely use your melee

#

may aswell have a mobility stick

remote bloom
#

toothpick*

radiant frigate
#

but also

flint pawn
#

Specifically for when it's aggroed on me, blocking off of Peril and the good movement makes holding aggro on bosses effortless even as an Auric regular

radiant frigate
#

you should engage in glorious melee combat... NOW ⚡

remote bloom
flint pawn
#

I'm sure I'll make myself a build for it when I'm ready to

#

For now I pretty much only use the staffs and brain rupture if I choose to run it

remote bloom
#

I'd highly encourage you to employ more melee combat to your game

flint pawn
#

But if I'm craving melee, I'm gonna play Zealot or Ogryn

willow hazel
#

Just use staffs, brain burst, and melee

remote bloom
#

Zealot is a weird class for me

#

I only have 2 melees I sorta enjoy, but it's not exacily it

flint pawn
#

I almost never have a use for my melee even though I think Illisi was pretty strong? Not sure if that's changed since the last time I played?

#

The last I played this game before now was 6 or so months ago

remote bloom
#

Illsi still slaps

radiant frigate
#

if I'm craving melee i most certainly do not go to zealot or ogryn

flint pawn
#

Okay yeah, probably as good as I remember it being then

radiant frigate
#

illisi is fantastic yes

remote bloom
#

Slaughterer + Uncanny Strike goes nuts

cosmic sigil
#

ogryn melee is powerful but not that interesting tbh

flint pawn
radiant frigate
#

zealot makes me sad because the Designated Melee Class™️ struggles with ragers in melee

flint pawn
#

Sometimes I just wanna squash

radiant frigate
#

ogryn melee is entirely uninteresting

flint pawn
#

So I just use bull butcher + near immortal ogryn

remote bloom
spice veldt
#

tbf even without ragers being spawned in ridiculous amounts, ragers are the designated anti-melee melee unit

cosmic sigil
remote bloom
#

but then you're using catachan sword and any form of armor makes it bounce off the enemy

spice veldt
#

and you have the power of gun anyways against ragers

radiant frigate
spice veldt
#

prob with fury

remote bloom
#

I have a huge distaste for dclaw

radiant frigate
cosmic sigil
#

with fury or a weakened crusher

radiant frigate
#

hi mauler hi crusher

cosmic sigil
#

i don't really have that problem

flint pawn
radiant frigate
#

i will now headshot you for 2 damage

remote bloom
#

I just don't find dclaw enjoyable

cosmic sigil
#

just bring a ranged weapon to cover your weaknesses

#

having a do it all weapon is bad for the balance of the game

remote bloom
#

say that to plasma gun

cosmic sigil
#

and you can parrykill maulers

radiant frigate
#

plays melee class
looks inside
depends on gun

flint pawn
cosmic sigil
#

zealot is melee oriented

#

not pure melee class

#

otherwise you wouldn't have specific ranged talent

radiant frigate
#

i have seen ranged zealot

#

it was confusing

cosmic sigil
#

it's more an assault/close combat class

spice veldt
#

heaven forbid that the optimal play against certain enemies is the power of gun

#

can't believe they would do this to me in my melee(tm) class

#

what role adherence does to a mf

radiant frigate
#

heaven forbid the melee class can't outmelee the enemy melee

cosmic sigil
#

when i play bolter zealot, you need a psyker or a plasma vet to outdamage me lol

radiant frigate
#

but the Ranged™️ classes do

spice veldt
#

heaven forbid that there exists a melee unit whose very purpose is to encroach on your melee space

cosmic sigil
spice veldt
#

that is a fairly clear design goal of the rager having unavoidable combos

radiant frigate
cosmic sigil
#

the fuck there is double attacks

#

and no safe dodges except back

spice veldt
#

the unavoidable part i'm fine with though i'd rather dodges be weakened and blocking better

#

so that the gameplay is more normalized

cosmic sigil
#

agree

radiant frigate
#

unfortunately blocking still mostly sucks

cosmic sigil
#

because rn, it's just me see me shoot

remote bloom
#

You gotta love when game throws 393874 ragers to your specific location

spice veldt
#

instead of ragers being essentially this outlier of being the one enemy that you can't dodge

#

and blocking being very poopoo in this game

cosmic sigil
#

that's the entire rager population of the map in one place

radiant frigate
#

it's the one enemy you can't dodge and they come in packs so you can't block them either

cosmic sigil
#

and your parry can be eaten too

remote bloom
#

Berserkers in Vermintide are better designed than ragers

radiant frigate
#

especially scab

flint pawn
#

punch them

#

punch your problems

radiant frigate
#

armored ragers

#

xd

remote bloom
#

I find dreg ragers to be more annoying than scab ones

flint pawn
remote bloom
#

At least on Veteran

spice veldt
#

at least scab ragers are easier to stagger

radiant frigate
#

are they

spice veldt
#

ye

#

pop at them with a brauto and compare that with a dreg ragers

#

scab ragers will get staggered while they're alive, whereas dreg ragers usually just attack you until they die

radiant frigate
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

remote bloom
#

Dreg Ragers are just, why

radiant frigate
#

ragers usually die to empowered sword stagger so i would legitimately not know about that

spice veldt
#

the good ol' days of spamming brauto vet

radiant frigate
#

and they both do this regardless of type

remote bloom
#

Power Sword keeps them in check, usually

radiant frigate
#

but this is good to know

remote bloom
#

Untill it doesn't

#

I wish Shovel was a little bit safer to fight ragers with

radiant frigate
#

i wish zealot had better melee options

#

or perhaps i wish others had worse melee so zealot can shine more

remote bloom
#

First option sounds better

spice veldt
#

tankiness is more of his deal anyways

#

which implicitly incenvitizes being up close esp with the lack of ranged buffs besides anoint and some middle stuff

thorn cedar
#

'some middle stuff' you will refer to my SON by their NAME, thank you

spice veldt
#

i'm going to kick sainted gunslinger into a ditch

remote bloom
#

Ranged combat? Only if nessesary

#

Otherwise, melee

radiant frigate
#

so we have the tanky (stupid), the tanky (faith) and the squishy (martial) and the squishy (caster*)

#

is that it

spice veldt
#

is that referring to the 4 classes?

radiant frigate
#

yes

spice veldt
#

sure if you want to describe them in those terms i guess

radiant frigate
#

if tankiness is more zealot's thing then yes

#

though i can't truly call vet a martial if i can magically reload a revolver with heretic blood without physically putting a new round in

remote bloom
#

Trick of a Veteran Guardsman

spice veldt
remote bloom
#

:)

spice veldt
#

i'm just saying that zealot has a bunch of powerful survivability stuff scattered around the tree

radiant frigate
#

15% toughness on dodge kinda spicy

spice veldt
#

i don't mean to imply that other classes aren't tanky

radiant frigate
#

50% tdr always if you crit kinda spicy

remote bloom
#

Vet can take a lot on his toughness

spice veldt
#

though i don't like vet's dodge stats

#

i always get fucked by playing him like psyker or zealot

radiant frigate
#

is this about damage multipliers

spice veldt
#

no

remote bloom
#

Other way around for me, I get obliterated on the other two

spice veldt
#

vet has a slightly longer cooldown on consecutive dodges

radiant frigate
#

never noticed

spice veldt
#

on the order of milliseconds but i play with my brain off so i rely on dodge spamming to stay alive

#

and that extra increase is enough for an overhead to catch me in between

radiant frigate
#

sounds extremely specific

spice veldt
#

spamming dodges is the core of what i do so i notice it when i get owned in-between my dodges

radiant frigate
#

i suppose i can't relate because i play vet and psyker pretty much the same way

#

difference is just true aim vs weapon spec having slightly different triggers

#

and uh

#

vet +100 toughness

remote bloom
#

261 toughness my beloved

radiant frigate
#

you must have some extra on curios that i don't

remote bloom
#

Probably, I don't remember

#

Alcohol related memory issue

upper sun
#

iktfb

radiant frigate
#

has the templar been drinking?

upper sun
#

how else do you think he survived

#

alcohol gives like 5%+ toughness

marble crater
#

Thanks for nothing Sour Milk

upper sun
#

i got savage sweep on dclaw but i already have it just dont wanna earn it

fiery stratus
#

alright, i may have found a build i like

#

my build is probably garbo, but i basically went scriers gaze with smite, revolver and duelling sword

#

im just using gaze for revolver dump, and quelling with smite, trying to focus a little support too

wind spruce
wind spruce
fiery stratus
#

yeah i was using it for melee as well. im using the mark 2 so it has a decent horde clear mix, i can 1 shot most elite gunners and whatnot in scriers gaze.

#

the way i have it set up too, its pretty quick with a decent bit of stamina so i can usually get around reasonably well

twilit flicker
#

anyway ...

my assessment? should've done it before the talent tree update

if i run out of dodges i just stand still and push until i have them back

I do that too since kinetic deflection gives you so much breathing room. Just gotta make sure there’s no disablers overheads coming your way.

I don’t push tho unless I need space to move.

im not saying don't run it because its not meta, just purely asking for my own interest:
Is EP in any meta build (beyond smite spam i guess)

one that i could think of is gunker with ep assail, but DD better right?

rigid sky
#

EP is great with brain rupture

#

And saves a bunch of points

#

I get a lot more toughness regeneration talents because I take EP

#

Blaze Trauma basically doesn't need any damage boost help, and I'm not as interested in the extreme CDR bonus from warp charges since I run Bubble with Trauma

And DD is obviously not the best on Trauma

It's weaker than Quietitude but it works when Quietitude doesnt

I like having the crit aura too, Blaze trauma can be a little unreliable in actually blazing

But the warp TDR thing might make it worth it

Remove middle node of ep and put it in soulstealer. Assail need soulstealer for toughness regen.

Will do, thanks

wind spruce
radiant frigate
#

what made the difference if not a bazillion free casts

wind spruce
#

You shoot seven regular assails and only three Empowered ones in your first ten (6, 8 & 9) So those first few elite kills took longer than they would've with DD. At eight assails you've got shards in the air that will cause four gunners to die and you drop shriek. After that it's all EP casts, but everything's basically being cremated at that point from soulblaze. Only 17 assails are cast in total over the 12s of meaningful combat, meaning non-EP assail would only have been able to cast 16 in that time.

#

EP only really helped against the ragers towards the end, and it's difficult to say how different that would've been with DD up.

marble crater
#

DD seems like micro management, with hunting the marked targets, but I never played it

wind spruce
#

It's not at all micro management.

#

All you have to do is damage a blue target once every 30s. That's all the management that's required.

#

If it drops off, stab a few bruisers in the head between waves and you'll be at 15 stacks in no time.

marble crater
#

Damage? Is this another case of wrong tool tip? heh

wind spruce
#

Yep, it doesn't tell you that you don't have to kill the target to refresh your stacks. You can refresh it with soulblaze lol

#

Running shriek with DD makes it much easier to keep up

#

Same with running voidstrike since it has so much penetration

wind spruce
marble crater
#

Ah so damage to refresh stacks, but still kill to gain stacks

cosmic sigil

I tend to use rmb against big targets or horde if it's far

Most of the time I am in the thick of it

And I find the lack of mobility dangerous

marble crater

Maybe a problem with positioning, if you start with rmb against the horde they won't even get to you, maybe throw in some lmb to stagger, but that should only be necessary against ragers and maulers. Even those melt to the channel though

#

Well, less since you already have crit chance

wind spruce
tacit thicket
#

Yeah

cosmic sigil
tacit thicket
#

Im not the best at detailed explanation about it but i found this very useful:

Build Concept:

Scrier's Gaze gives you +20% Crit Chance the moment you activate it.
Crit Chance is the best chance for "Soulblaze" stacks because every critical hit applies 2 stacks of soulblaze instead of just 1
To put it into perspective, +20% Crit Chance is equivalent to casting Purgatus with 80% Peril (or Higher) while having "Warp Nexus" Blessing on it.
So, in total you can get a total of 55% Crit Chance, accumulated from the following:
+20% Crit Chance from Scrier's Gaze
+20% Crit Chance from Warp Nexus
+5% Crit Chance from Staff Perk
+10% Crit Chance from Talent Passives / Auras
On top of that, you get the following Damage Multipliers:
+5% Damage from Talent Passives
up to +20% Damage from Warp Rider for keeping your Peril High
up to +30% Damage from Scrier's Gaze stacks if you manage your peril properly
up to +24% BASE Damage from Warp Siphon Charges (6 x 4%)
BASE damage is the best stat because it is multiplicative to all other damage multipliers; In other words your final damage will be calculated like this:
(Base Weapon damage) X(Base Damage Modifiers) X (All other Damage Modifiers)
