lmao
All the gun deniers bending over backwards to avoid the superior gun psyker
Exactly, it's definitely not my most used one together with surge, I hate deleting hordes and elites without much effort
Me wizard me magic me no gun
Magic gun
Me wizard me magic me sometimes gun
it is big sadge when my space wizard is most damaging with bloody firearms
do not want
it is big gladge when my space wizard is most damaging in melee :)
TBF the firearms suck against crushers surely the best tool for that is magic

Surely
dueling sword coming in with a steel chair
instead we got shitty recon
i just use voidstrike ¯_(ツ)_/¯
when are our psykers going to hit the gym and handle heavier guns
a waste of their unparalleled minds, morrow should send a blunt
when will psykers hit the gym and get a force 2handed chainaxe
How would I make this recon las better. . .
when will psykers get force greatsword for The Big Chop™️
what perks are best on columnus 5?
flak maniac probably
i meant blessings
dum dum and whatever
I hope it doesn't get nerfed because it's so good 
i think blessings overall are a bit insane
40% extra damage and cleave? sure
300% increase in horde kill speed? of course
bigger numbers just because? always
some blessings are like MORE NUMBER
other blessings are like eh maybe more number? idk if you're really good and praise the emperor or smth
You throw it into a trash compactor
Recon II is the worst variant of the worst gun class in the game
and some blessings are.. focused channeling
or exorcist
exorcist can be usable if they just made it on weakspot hit
YKNOW WHAT? NO, IM GOING TO BE UNIQUE AND UNCONVENTIONAL.
I WILL MAKE IT GOOD
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
good luck
That and also it suprisingly melted plague ogryn last game so >->
I have not used a recon since i leveled psyker
It's ok vs monsters
But really meh vs near everything else
Burning stacks is a crutch for terrible up front damage
Oh and reapers
Basically if you're hitting something without armor and lots of hp
Not mutants though they have the modifiers to ranged and melee damage
They nerfed crit strings on Recon, I don't really get how Columbus mk5 crit strings just got ignored

lol?
I mean I don't want it to get nerfed
Does toughness regen speed only apply to passive regen for psyker
I'm just really confused about their thought process
I think everythting is instant
Toughness regen is coherency toughness regen only.
It affects both the delay and spd.
Many have tried, many have failed
And will continue to fail until the Devs buff it
Ya, coherency Regen.
It both increases the rate it regens and decreases the delay before recovery starts
Toughness regen is also multiplicative(don't even ask how the math works, I'll cry), so you want 90% or 0.
Coherency toughness Regen is just kinda meh compared to the other tools psyker has to get toughness
Whats the time diff between 30 and 90
Now you might be wondering "How is that multiplicative"
Well don't wonder.
Just accept it.
the math doesn't work because 30% is not 30%
Bro dont even I can't.
30% is in fact 25% for another number
You can read the whole convo we had around that link
i only changed it once

irosk's fault
And that once happened between then and now
very well i will change again

Knife ear
Still a knife ear.
i'm not trying to disprove the knife ear allegations
Dragon's Dogma 2 pawns were like 32% Frieren
And everyone followed literally the exact same guide forit
wouldn't know, haven't played
Fake Elf
So the reality is, 30% toughness Regen is actually 27% toughness Regen ADDITIVE and 20% toughness Regen delay MULTIPLICATIVE
It lies
So.... no.
Each 30% adds 2.25 toughness Regen, and shortens the delay by 20%
You know what, sure, it works that way 
Actually wait, not joking this time, yeppers.
No wait I dunno.

toughness regen speed isn't real, it can't hurt you

very nice shaders
also atlas are you on break?
you super online these few days
been like 1 month
ye i also didnt know i just one 30% regen on zealot because i was stuck with it but when i changed it it felt worse
No it's only multiplicative.
No wait 
I don't remember the math
Yeah okay it's additive and multi
Each one adds 2.25 Regen per second. So additive (like 27% toughness Regen)
Each one reduces the delay by 20%, this is multiplicative (arguably this is 25% faster)
wounds are still the best curios in the game because 90% of the time they show up in brunts with a free t4 blessing
unbrickable
tbh, all you need to know is t regen increases by a flat amount
t delay has diminishing returns.
^
@lethal lagoonare you okay? 
just remember more number more better
More wounds is better. Noted. 
intuitively you would know that diminishing return = multiplicative
Wound psyker is meta because they are buffing the peril explosion to double the size of the ogryn nuke


And because we can explode more often, right?
Ah yes the new subclass, martyrdom psyker
good for sedition
get to explode 7 time
I just realized that whole couple hour convo didn't actually cover the random ass +2.25 toughness regen.

So the toughness regen delay is multiplicative(in the good way).
That was what we covered
Never even got to the random ass +2.25 toughness regen
So long story short, we still don't need toughness regen on psyker, yes? 
Lol, additive can also be diminishing returns
The additive in this case is diminishing returns yep
The multiplicative is not. It's not about the seconds it's about how fast the delay is recharging.
If you have 100% damage and add 50% you just gained 50%.
If you add another 50% you just gained 33% lol
but thats not additive :v
Why do you need toughness, don't get hit
but being multiplicative is just the same as being additive just repeatedly
🤔
how do you get 33%
150 + 50 is 33%
100 + 50 is 50%
So yeah additive, and my brain is being weird again.
uhhhhh technically its 33.333 repeating ofc
thats 33% of the new, not the original?
Yeah, that's diminishing returns. Adding 50% now gives 33%
Multiplicative is if 50% always gave 50% of the new number.
He's cooking

In path of exile they use additive %, increased % and more % to distinguish flat added, additive percent increases and multiplicative % increases
In other games it's guesswork
I wonder what the lower % toughness Regen ones do
Its 30% and 20%
Im confused.
wouldn't additive be:
your base damage is 1.
your first % increase is 50%
second % increase is another 50%
50%+50% = 100%
so 1 * (100%+100%) = 2
And multplicative:
Base damage is 1
your first % increase is 50%
second % increase is another 50%
1 * 1.5*1.5 = 2.25
Because the 8.25 comes from the 7.5 base +10% from the node above seers presence

But otherwise you are correct
FS should just remove tool tips and just show us code
Only i get to make fun of myself!
I like how meta it was for you to not get I was making fun of myself
Yeah, but you didn't see the engine turning in the background
You also missed my deleted comment


NOOOOO NOOO NOT THE MILK 😭
this how i felt when you didn't reply to my small talk
im very dissapointed atlas
i thought we were gamer bros
Did you small talk me?
im sorry but did you just SMALL TALK ME?
Implying i missed you but no reply
But the bar fills up with less reduction in time with each additional curio 
im still alive but im barely breathing
Time isn't real 
Nah I'm a working adult. It's just the worse my insomina get's the more you'll see me.
Funnily enough I was watching something today about paradoxes and I think it's a mathematical paradox that seems like it's a paradox but actually isn't
imagine two young adults arguing over simple math in a coop game.
thats the level we stooped to.
The barber only shaves people who don't shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?
barber's wife
or at least thats what my barber said when i asked
the other barber ezpz
does a set containing all sets contain itself?
;-;
yeah thats a power set
every single branch of math other than calc is fake
clad aren't you going to take masters in CS as well
electrical engineering maybe idk
if i get accepted yeah if i find a job ill do that instead or somth
how come you can't help us solve simple math problem smh
|| im totally not in a similar boat ||
im an engineer i dont do word problems
If a boat only sails people who don't sail themselves, who sails the boat?
I lost a trivia night because no one listened when I said the answer was calculus to the question "what mathematical theory describes change over time" and they put fucking newton's third law
differnetiation?
I'm still 3 months later
THE ANSWER WAS CALCULUS YOU LITTLE SHIT
i remember going to a math class for math majors once i solved everything before the math majors but provided zero elaborations and zero proofs
sorry man.
We are all still
I have become still, unmoving of worlds.
the proof is important, as important as end result
too confused to sleep too tired to think
I mean I'd understand if they said newton's second, even though it'd be wrong
nuh uhh
third law is just reaction force lmao
(lowkey I would never forgive them but pretend everything is fine)
my discrete math prof disagrees
^ psyker chat rn
this is about as zealot chat as psyker chat can be
on all levels exluding the physical i am a casio fx-991ex
Psyker chat is the angry argument chat
Look, they may have said newton's 2nd law, that bit is fuzzy
All I remember is we lost in the tiebreaker
At least newton's second law uses calculus I guess lol
the only one thing left is for someone to randomly make fun of someone else, and then for that someone else to come in and make conversation with the people, and topic change for 1 hour
and newton developed calculus iirc?
ye
so it's pretty close
You suck
smart people were built different back then theory doesnt work? make your own branch of math
Hi atlas
There was a guy on my team who everyone wouldn't shut up about working for the department of defense
you won for me atlas
Hi atlas

Can't even get an obscure maths question right how u gon' defend the country
I wasted time typing their name
Man, people are so nice nowadays.
|| tbh i was making reference to them randomly posting stan quotes, and then stan come in and the subject topic changes ||
its funny though, just that the subject change is abrupt at times
soooo were food posting now?
the subject topic, and the name of half of the people in the conversation
yepp
What is objectively the best psyker staff
he doesn't steal your name, he just "gifts" you a new one
columnus infantry autogun
trauma
Hint, it's not Blaze Trauma
There is only an objectively worst (purgatus)
Void can't juggle 8 crushers
yeah void kills them
You can pop heads with trauma, you just need to wait for the enemies to climb up
I like to completely turn off all mental falculaties while running Surge.
If there's 8 crushers in your face trauma is the only one that copes
same
Surge is my fave, but trauma is better
letting 8 crusher kiss you is skissue
I love hate blaze trauma, but aiming it hurts my eyes in like 1-2 games.
That's a lot of toughness
Depends on spawns
brain off brr on
remove battle med and add mroe toughness
The monkey brain satisfaction of filling out the tree is part of the brain off build
smh the fact that you don't memorize all the spawn doors and patrol locations
Surge/smite handles green baddies, trauma does not
Since when?
And large groups of crushers can be brief smited til they burn, then zap while jelly bean mode
i remember toda / yesterday either pygex or arco said you can't surge green bulwark because you can't stumble them
game gets boring if you do
ok 80% chance a trapper is coming from here
90% chance a bomber is gonna show up when we go up the stairs
I still have no idea what "green" means in this context, but I assume it means Sedition/Uprising diffs...
Nurgle blessing maelstrom
yeah sedition gaming
😂
Is that a recent change, surge stunnign nurgle blessing?
Smite does surge just damages them
Smite used to not to, at least last time I've played.
Unless they changed it last patch it does stun them
I haven’t played this patch, got bored
i dont think thats true
right, I never do Maelstroms (I am in a constant Plasteel-grinding limbo so I never get the chance to do Maelstrom), I didn't know what you meant...

Yes? Smite still stuns them
surge targets base armor even if the shield is up it should still damage them
I'm all but positive smite doesn't stun them.
you said surge still damages them :v
Crushers
And other green enemy
Bulwark is not the only kind
And crushers were the initial topic
He apologizes but secretly resents you
Well @ me if you test it and they’ve changed it so you can’t smite em
No no, I mean since patch 13 to 17 it doesn't stun green
I thought you were talking about recently it stunned then
That's why I brought up recent patchs
Are you talking about surge or smite?
Both
aaaaa someone check already does creature spawner do greenies?
It does feel slower with them
i downloadd it few months ago and it doesn't.
Unless new patch to mod
😭
Quick topic change
their tolerance is so fucking high i was wondering how the the flamer that took a void headshot didn't fall down
I pretty much only EP when I actually use emite
So that wouldn't matter for me
No clue though
This the shout range?
Yes
It also goes through some walls
The vertical and horzonital range is the same
Imagine a southpark child holding an ice cream cone
what about elevation?
Too slow bud
please use the inverse square law to find out
What staff are ya using with ep smite if ya don't mind me askin?
i know im wrong
Ooo okay, graci<3 I have a smite surgery with warp charges but I hate warp charges xD I remake build
I have had over 200k warp fire from just venting shriek before
EP Smite is meta 
how you know its not from the kill elite blaze
How do you not quell all the time with EP and surge?
Because I don't take it
ohh
Nor do I take the spread burning when they die one
agent goingto come in
and lecture you
on why wildfire is actually good
I SUMMON THEE
psyker chat full of numbers
Wildfire is debatable, but the elite kill wildfire one is actually good
RP is can't be escaped
I love your hairs! XD
In case you are wondering about the true level, I make too many alts and have multiple psykers.
Not the 200k game but a solid one. this was HI damnation I think, might have been HI shock troop
Don't @ me about wildfire until you play with all healtbars to test the spread

The best place to test is the balcony on the Magi Assasination boss.
That's why I had them on in that video actually
Surge staff with venting shriek and warp charges.
3 cool down reduction trinkets, cool down reduction aura.
Basically shouting on cooldown
Surge right click spam with flaming shriek spam
auric?
total damage seems way too low for a5histg
😋
Soon you won't have to, you can have all the multiple personalities in one psyker
Don't think so in this one
Can you change sex?
Was playing with some friends who are less confident so don't think this was on auric board
Hank said you should be able to change everything
I have run auric and AM with this before though
This is an auric t5
I mean I mostly leveled alts while playing with friends, but this makes me
but also 
That's the one
Looks like it 
I love the addition, I wanted to try new personalities without losing my gear
Yeah it's honestly a change that should been done a long time ago
I'm glading they are adding QOL stuff
They could argue you can't change for roleplaying/story reasons but the game literally doesn't have either

So it should have been the default
Even then, make it an option and the people who care can just not use it
TBF, blessings are shared across characters
So you don't "lose" your gear per say
Curios are really the only problem
But I guess that doesn't really matter anymore, my multi-psykers are a relic of the past

I lose my rolled gear, I don't want to spend millions of dockets and thousands of plasteel for a new voice 
I'm farming and stocking up xD
lvl 1-30 is usually enough for 1 BiS weapon
If you ahve the blessing unlocked alreayd
I dunno, my RNG has always been 
Or maybe my standards are just low
I definitely have discarded some decent weapons because they weren't as high as I wanted them to be
for some reason i get better rng on chars i dont play
so if there's ogrynomics, is there also psychonomics? 
i usually get a try to get a new weapon during heresy because the bp changes are very very noticeabe
and then fail
i got brumomen and skull crusher on the only shield i rolled for ogryn
or would is be psychanomics, not sure of spelling O_o
imagine caxe need to be buffed to get 1 hit on shooters
and even with buff can't 1 hit bruisers
There is, it's pinned
athenemumowfinum not updated?
It's honestly a crime agaisnt emperormanity that this isn't in the psyker guide.
People need to know the truth about shout
^

I think so many people think it's like a 10m range lol
When in reality it deletes rooms
It hits through walls too so save your buddies from dogs
"updated 1 Mar @ 3:31pm" huh
Playing with multiple psykers who understand how Flaming shriek works actually feels pretty bad cause everything is just deleted and you are fighting for scraps
save buddie from dogs
get my DD refreshed ✅
Psyker guide is like 99.57% accurate.
Doesn't really need to be updated(except to include that anyomous beautiful drawing).
Take off the 2 burn nodes, they suck
thats not mine its from the guide
Pretty sure it can
Get some more nodes for toughness Regen at the top of the tree and the warp damage on crit
It doesn’t really get more complicated than this 
Ahh
Better but swap burn on elite with the peril vent on kill
usable for everything
Imo
PC is OP as fuck lmao.
Chain reactions will never get old.
What no
Bm is the most mid psyker trait
You have to kill 100 things to get 1 psyker peril bar.
"Oooh I killed 100 enemies and got back a full peril bar"
Too slow bud
Stop stealing my lines you bitch

aktually its very good because soulblaze kills can save you from exploding with it
How bout just not being bad
no
Fair
Less the explode save, more that when you shout a room you can use surge indefinitely till they finish burning to death as you keep getting the 10 peril back for another right click
Except not really
Obviously watch your peril still as you have no shout to fall back on
I think you are overestimating the amount of targets in a room
As we said, 100 enemies, on average, gets you ONE peril bar
really tho its kind of a wasted node
You don't need 1 peril bar
if anything its never gonna be useful just mess up your edging sesh
sounds perfect for the psyker martyr build
You can do surge just fine at 99%
You're missing the point
Dropping from 100% to 0 isn't the goal
4th aura+keystone pls
The point is on the end of my staff
You're moving the goalposts
That's not the point...
u guys talking about the random quell on kill?
even dropping from 80 to 70 isnt good either
The venting lets you loose another right click without needing to vent
I don't think it has that affect in an actual game anywhere near consistently enough to beat out PC 
the only place where bm can bs used is purge and even then its wasted because it has low peril gen
Most of the time BM triggers is when you don't need it.
psyker node be like +2% chance to do 1% extra damage
vet nodes +25 MORE DAMAGE
+15% MORE DAMAGE
imagine new class, pure support class
slash enemy to get buffs, dodge to spread buffs to team :OOO
venting shouldnt be an issue: a case in point

That could easily mess up a rotation for maintaining 4 stacks of warp nexus
BM actually fucks me on Blaze Trauma for that reason
Battle meditation is basically just for gun psyker
I shout on cooldown pretty much
My warp nexus charges are just for toughness Regen and more cooldown reduction
SG is a hell of a drug
Same, but that's just another argument for no BM
Warp nexus is the staff blessing that gives you bonus crit for having high peril
are you thinking about warp siphon/warp charges?
Oh, wrong one
Imagine BM procing right before a flaming shriek shout at 85% KEKW
Warp charges lol
yeah, I was a bit confused
My bad
My point still works though I guess
But ya, crits on surge aren't reliable anyway, the peril gen and venting speed makes my peril yoyo a tonne
Even at best you hit like 60% iirc?
@karmic finch look at that video. I vent about 5 times from seconds 11 to 18
I don't run the aura

Y'all don't need battle med
I think we've lost the rub here.
psy aura with assail would be so broken
Literally. Any build without SG running it is strictly incorrect.
Sometimes i take it as a path node over pc
Does nothing > free damage?
Does nothing = no damage
The ultimate headache

zero cooldown game mode when?
anyone tell me what blessings ya use on your force swords?
which sword deimos or illisi?
both XD i havee one of each
for deimos uncanny is important for illisi slaughter is important
second blessing can be unstable/executor/deflector
graci, i appreciate it ❤️
deimos has a nice interaction with uncanny and executor you get 4 stacks for a special
and you get one stack on either sword with a force push attack
Uncanny Strike, Slaughterer and Executor
got it, ty so much<3
hadron keeps giving me slaughter on deimos and executor on illisi 😭 id have god rolls if it was the other way around
damn >_<
There a way psyker can become beserk like ogryn and shouty?
hmm maybe the scriors gaze melee/gun build, usually goes RAWWWWWWRRRR SWISHSWISHSWISH STABSTAB PEWPEWPEWPEW
or something
xD

the more ya kill the longer your gaze lasts, and more stacks you gain, is fun

what have you done to this poor games HUD
your a MONSTER
I create beauty from the darkness 
Grim darkness? 
siblings....
Good luck with that slaughterer
Smallest money 
cant believe i started the game for this
That's messed up
btw Siblings, what is the standard Surge Voidstrike build? (the only things I need to know are the ult and Keystone selections, the rest I can figure out on my own)
Deflector meme stick possible
I will never match this roll
its someone else's btw
surge/nexus and +5 crit with anything else as the second perk
I meant talents
ah
I have a better rolled deimos than this
Not even a 550 roll
you can use this on pretty surge/void and you have two free points here
You also want to dump warp res not mobility
i stopped rolling for stuff tbh i just buy whatever usable thing i find at brunts
whats your marty build with mk 15 like?
bad
okie
but if you want something good use this https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a7b2080-d916-450b-a9ba-720fdb915af1/vin-marty
This is the superior voidstrike build
DD bad 😭
People who think DD bad bad 😭
DD bad, Trauma bad, Psykers can't have shit
Tbf literally no one trusts us
u definitely want +3 wound curios?
this is what i use
idk some people do 2 wound 1 toughness i do 2 wound 1 stamina
Clad
Overkill = wasted dmg, so bad
i never said it wasnt
yes
and u also cant mix marty with swift certainty?
oh its good
this is my current Voidstrike build btw. I have another variation which I will post in a sec.
like i said the build i linked before is better
If you don't dodge duellist is a wasted talent 
hm
ye exactly
using martys purpose is better if you dont plan on surviving
Give up the 9 points in the warp charges leg and you can do so much more
cause I wanted to build it like this
ok, so this is that other variant of my build that I mentioned before.
thats good though i shall not fall is pretty good
but the thing is
and blood redemption is not all that good if you use momentum on a weapon you wont have toughness problems
I currently have only 1 wound curio on my zealot
they're pretty common
ye I know
now camp the store for 48 hours straight
just dont have any yet cause I never bothered looking for one
That's good, but I'd suggest taking the two points away from getting to malefic momentum to get soul stealer and perilous combustion
fuck no
psyker had the chance to camp
with zealot I just vibe
Actually scratch that take off purloin providence and battle med for them
You don't need peril reducing talents
Natural quell is already ridiculously strong
but then I end up exploding too often (I keep spamming Void too much in hopes of getting to kill the DD target before my team does)...
ye auto quell can mess up your edging
but would u say I survive with mk 15, graia, ×2 toughness ×1 wound curio?
you have until death you can surive pretty well
bet
it might feel weird but 3 wounds is fine
Ok couple of things
- Practising without it is how you're gonna stop doing that.
- You don't need to kill the DD target! You only need to damage it to refresh your stacks. This should be really easy between the penetration void has and using Shriek
maybe I'll catch some wound curios at some point
Void with Shriek is the easiest loadout to maintain DD
will be interesting to see if mk15 performs better with crit or marty build
If you play martyrdom go all wounds and get to at least 5 stacks.
If you're not on low hp just play momentum.
ok, I get the first point.
However, I often tunnelvision on getting MORE DD stacks, thus I need to kill the DD target each and every time (according to my brain)...
we've been over this agent my only goal is to get plasteel
I get that, just gotta get used to damaging a blue man where you can. The issues caused by focusing them down goes well beyond just headpopping, gotta overcome the habit
Especially once you hit max stacks, just fire a charged shot at a blue man every 20s or so, and then ignore them
,,What you doing out here mate?"
,,I saw a blue man and I'm chasin' him"
,,Hehe- aren't we all chasing the blue man. Looking everywhere to find him. Everywhere but within"
Bleed for the emperor is garbage
its nice when i fuck up a crusher overhead and get chucked to 10% in one hit
but yeah second wind or vicious offering might be better
i still recommend the builds pinned in zealot more
You could get invo of death
i'm just stacking toughness
thats not all that good without a crit build isnt it tho?
Or duellist plus sustained assault
For 25% extra damage, no questions asked, plus duellist
yeah sustained would be better
my games lately, it's painful, need older players to come back xD
@dim parrot ok yeah im taking off the toughness node idk why i put one there anyways and bleed for sustained assault
huh what did I miss?

yeaah imma just go back to crit mk15 build while waiting for my third wound curio I guess
cirt is still better imo
stop seeing this ad
i cant aim knives bad
had to lose on swift speedy mode node to get fire nade cause knifes are not reliable

no no no knives are great we just cant aim
true
cant lie
sometimes there are moments where knifes come in clutch, I just rather cover the ground with fire to burn my enemies while I split them apart
OH FUCK I LEFT AN ENERY DRINK IN THE FREEZER
OH NO THE ENERY DRINK
God bless monsters that shit is anti freeze
Ice cold cocacola.
peach monsters 😋
3 psyker team is tough, ngl
one was gunker, they just didn't do much
Damn, that’s sad. Should’ve dealt more damage
Four psyker team ggez clear tho
yeah they were running smite and using smite most of the time, they wanted to help the team, i explained it helps when ya kill stuff not just hold with smitee XD
Weird how it works but I’ve never won with 3 psyker and never lost with 4 psyker
yuh i've been in all pysker games, they're usually good
i think they're just kinda newish players
I stopped using smite because of that reason. Now I’m more offensive with trauma/assial/chainsword.
I’m the opposite 😂. A 4 psyker mission is too much for me
Smite players hurt lol
but but but i can give a 10% damage buff
Had one in auric quick play the other day that I swear was using realasianrobot's build for smite+surge, then use smite half the time (the guide says to do this...)

bruh wtf
im looking this up now
🔥 Dive deep into the heart of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide's latest challenge with me, RealAsianRobot, as I put my Surge Smite Psyker build to the ultimate test in Patch #17. Are you ready to see if this classic build holds up in the game's newest update? 🔥

Look at like 14 mins, just camping smite in low pressure situations
siblings i think i may have contracted brainrot from playing martyr zealot
battle meditation???
That's so he can keep smiting longer, you know, from all the kills it gets
"will help you quell in battle"
How about just killing the threat before needing to quell, or, idk, disengage?
OR PULLING OUT A FUCKIN SWORD
W I L D F I R E
That's the top of his tree, he goes empowered psionics
Psyker chat has a collective meltdown, love to see it, until we violently explode
also, ALSO
He was one of the deaths
He has the 6 stacks for warp charges
how is he getting stacks
he isn't killing fucking anything
That vid he goes empowered psionics, to make smite 125% more damaging
Unfortunately 125% more than bugger all is bugger all
lmaoo
He's talking about how you NEED creeping flames nowadays
Bruh I use unaugmented venting shreik
auric maelstrom to boot
I swear the guy I played with used this build because he was smite + surge, and had most of his damage on lesser enemies
Surge staff should get you much more onto elites etc
yeee
But why surge smite. They don't compliment each other at ALL
It's a redundant slot :/
"It will give you enough time to kill the trash with smite"
smite surge is fine if you dont use smite 
While he kills the same amount of trash I kill with a single illisi charge
I will FIGHT you on this
I am a bb stan
i use it with purge
What, one is single target dps and one is aoe control
but not really with other staves
They literally do compliment each other and that is partially why surge staff was reworked the same time smite released
Is mk2 DS worth investing into? It's the only one of the dueling swords I haven't given an honest try yet
Shout does the job but better
mk4 is a lot more damage and better heavy animations
I think void is a better match and trauma is just strong but surge smite is just as good
(Shout) clarify
I won't lie I path through smite and I use it now and again in a real pinch
i use venting shriek for those scenarios
But like an "oops I got stuck on terrain vs 8 ragers" pinch
Ya, that works out most times
Also smite is best with soulblaze build and not going venting soulblaze is borderline troll unless you are skipping every other soulblaze talent as well
the other one has higher finesse and still less weakspot damage
Why I play surge and smite.
Which in that case why?, soulblaze build is the only way to make smite an actual dps option to clear hordes
I probably fall back to smite as a panic button every 5 or so games at auric damnation level
I hate brain burst
Not tried patching through assail
yeah a lot of people find it clunky af
Also surge has such a strong left click even vs far targets it's fine
I use it for really specific circumstances that my normal arsenal doesn't cover
mainly snipers and big boss damage with kinetic resonance
Just annoying when you snipe a sniper and the projectile speed lets them run away
that actually sounds pretty fun
Ep assail spam ez
#psyker-class message
Assail is still good
i'm of the opinion that assail is the strongest for general use
Smite is a perfect panic button and should only ever be used as such.
I think it's in a fine spot I just think people use it bad
EP Assail with the increased chance on kill node is genuinely as good as purgatus as clearing hordes effortlessly
That and the people who use it are bad, usually
If anyone lurking here uses bubble smite and you call yourself a "support psyker" please, please stop doing that
Smite surge is stupid good in auric damn if you know what you’re doing with it. Even good teams it’s just so nice
It depends on if you're using it specifically to kill elites or just using it for mindless horde clear like I usually do
Is Gaze good with assail?
The only decent support build in darktide is shouty taggy vet. and that's because the buffs are gigantic and over toughness is busted, and you don't sacrifice your own DPS to use them
Not particularly. If you're running gun psyker it can help you save on ammo though
Completely disregard all keystones on vet in favor of stacking more melee perks imo
There's a couple of other uses like tagging bulwarks before swapping off the moment they stagger.
And the dog pack modifiers.
why can vet shout stagger bosses but shreik cant?
Real talk, because it'd be overpowered
Papa palps massacring the dog packs is always funny 😂
Thanks I mostly use it for CC and my CIAG for Single or big enemy patrols
So no different then 😂
And vet shout isn't?
Psyker already has the ability to trivialize everything short of bosses by just spamming trauma staff at anything
Vet shout stagger range isn’t nearly as good as shriek
can psyker even stagger bosses?
Being able to oneshot a chaos spawn on top of that would just be ew
yes, with void staff
*and only with surge blessing
yeah! i remember now
no, you burn up too much peril
What if I never use bubble and call myself a support psyker because I use a trauma staff? 
taunt support ogryn, tank chorus vet, squad leader vet, and support psyker the ideal team comp
I still think mildly less of you because of how braindead trauma staff is but at least you're actually contributing by killing things
Unlike the guy who just smites hordes who thinks he's doing something
And what if it's blaze trauma?
Better or worse?
Blaze and Rending are equal, really
Either way you're deleting everything short of bosses with minimal effort
No way, one of them really needs a buff
Which one?
I wish brittle wasn't half the listed value
blaze very weak
Blaze trauma is severely underpowered, pls buff fat shart
pls buff
Blaze of course, very bad
Seriously though, I tried void and since I can't aim it well enough to make it great I am sticking to the other staves, I blame being on Xbox instead of my personal skill 
Void with venting headshots and the faster charging
Feels so good to just spray the right clicks at hordes forever
For me it's surge > trauma > void >>> purgatus
I even have a god roll purgatus
379 with low peril resistance as the bad stat
When it's buffed I'll be set
Purgatus taught me peril managment, it will always have a special place in my heart
Purgatus is good as is, it's just less easy to use
I feel everything it does is done better by trauma, with the only exceptions being killing bursters safely and boss damage
That's because trauma is the most overpowered staff in psyker's arsenal
They just gotta give it a normal light attack (or make it interesting like low damage but inflicts soulblaze) so that you don't feel forced into BB to take out anything above 9 feet
And then buff secondary a bit to compensate
Thanks for all of the advice I got in here the other day btw siblings. You're good people
Sweet brutes 🤝 spark'eads
Make sure you tell the Witch Hunters
so tru so tru everyone else on the ship hates abhumans
Omg so I checked the video again because it felt like he was quelling real slowly.
And he has 60% quell speed...
It's the lowest stat on his staff...
Yeah many consider quell speed to be the dump stat for staves
Favouring warp resistance over quell speed just means less toughness generation from the nodes near the top of the tree
And quell speed scaling is really high
lemme quell real quick for 2 hours to kill a few walkers instead of using melee
He was at least using his staff to quell smite, so that's, something I guess
I'm aware of how quell speed scales. Generally it's better to be able to get one more charge attack off than quell slightly faster though
If you're trying to keep high peril for the crit chance the difference in peril lost per tick of quell more than makes up for the peril cost scaling
Force swords have a pretty savage range, so peril resist on them is actually important
But if your 60 has to be somewhere, I'd rather it be there
Well that's like, your opinion man
Also charge speed effects peril generation too, so having that high also reduces peril per secondary
You rarely go from 0 to 100 though.
More realistic gameplay is 2 ticks of quelling to 100
Using both at the same time? Generally not the move. Tho if you’re at 0 peril, max shards and run into a soft patrol. Basically anything but carapace or bulwarks, it can be fun to pop SG and start yeeting high crit chance assail.
If you have a red stim, this is much safer to do as iirc it reduces peril gen (while increasing damage) by a significant amount. Like 34% ?
the damage stim?
ye. Damage stim. It makes my 10% peril assail turn to 6.6 or something.
Some maps I’ll save it for an end event and do what I just described to wipe out loads of flak/mania losers. 
Carapace gets the dueling sword pokes.
I boss dps with it and brain burst/kinetic resonance. It's not crazy but it does the job
Takes out ~60% before max peril on dif 4
flak maniac goes in all perks smooth brain goes brrrr
i will not stop going flak maniac even if they release an all carap zero maniac game condition
i wouldnt know i dont have a good ds
DS next project after illisi?
nah
im done rolling for shit until they release the crafting update
We will see about that
the only things i own that arent flak maniac are ogryn shield and staves
alright, so tested my surge staff, which has 70% peril resist, 76% charge rate, 80% quell, vs another I had lying about with 80% peril resist, 75% charge rate, 61% quell.
difference in quell is 8 ticks vs 10 for a full peril bar, or about 12.5 per tick vs about 10 per tick.
difference in peril per fully charged secondary is 19.5 vs 20.5
now that does mean that if you perfectly execute every secondary and never hold full charge you can get 5 vs 4, but if you release a tad before full just once it's 5 vs 5. pretty similar there for the 0-100% peril scenario, but admittedly if you don't vent at all a build with higher venting is worse...
shield is flak/unarmorned?

yeah thats whats in the ogryn guide and it feels very good on it
One shot all the bruisers
I still have that one godlike DS that I haven’t rolled. Hadron bricked the other 10 and I said naw lol.
dont do it
but as soon as you start venting the time saved is significant, the extra peril quelled means more toughness, and the "ticks of quelling per secondary" is 1.64 rather than 1.99
i have a lot of good ones and im not gonna waste plasteel on them
currently i have 2-5 good bases of each weapon
I’m not. I can’t, even! Im still away from home and like to check in and live vicariously through my siblings. Tho I think I can figure something out to take a look at the update when it comes….
the game actually doesnt want to be played https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/930903476756684816/1227398026318975056/cd6.jpg
huh i have a good kickback maybe i should try ogryn now
NOPE
this was profane it didnt even have a bullshit stat from brunt
That was my ogryn kickback experience too.
“Oh look my 10 weapons got the same 3 bullshit blessings and no good perks”
i will never stop wishing evil upon whoever made terrifying barrage
Hadron bricked all of those swords but the last, which I kept from her.
it's funny how some weapons have like 4 blessings and that makes them super easy to craft, and others have like 11 and all but 3 are garbage
like more options is a significant disadvantage
Hopefully a problem of the past with the crafting update
Yes
doesnt explain why i keep getting TB on surge 😭
i often wonder if fatshark tracks what buffs people arent using so they can adjust them to make them more wanted or used
the conspiracy theorist in me says yes and they give you lower odds on good ones
thats true i have seen that for sure
chorus vet?
yeah
wait wat

I'd love to say yes but I've seen a lot of horrifying loadouts in quick play more often than I see serviceable ones
it would explain why i got skullcrusher and bromomentum on my first shield
and pinpoint target+blaze away on my first gaunlet then had 4 kickbacks brick in a row
Lots of run n gun, devastating strike and those weird impact blessings running around
first weapons you roll on a new char should be good
SO to test that theory im gonna level my second zealot and try to roll something unrollable
Perfect thammer?
eh i already have a good one on my main
I would delete all of my operatives if my new psyker could have a perfect Voidstrike
just gotta first get a 370 grey
ive been buying all 370+ greys i see on 4 chars
hoping the crafting system unbricks them
ya
imagine if they give us stats on the rest of our gear with that crafting system
so they are no longer just skins
true
Monstrous specialists is a maybe use case, but I think heavy eviscerator does the job and isn't so dead in the water vs everything else
precisely
evis XV kinda creeping on everything else (except maybe caxe)
but then evis XV has much better boss/armor damage
it has more reach than chaxe
anybody got a link to a good gun psyker build?
I had some ideas but wanted some inspiration
XV is also more perk forgiving
hey guys. perks for deimos?
maniac/specials for reliable h2 mutie one shots and unyielding/carap for either boss or crusher damage
I'll do the former then, gonna pair it with trauma
still didnt roll slaughterer on fswords but I'm not complaining about this roll lol. 2nd deimos I bought from brunt and 1st roll.
i think if you slaughter imo isnt all that great on deimos since its a single target weapon mostly
you really need uncanny with it
only if you're stabbing elites in the face with it
but that's what this puppy is for
even without it l1h2 does crazy damage
sadly i dont have the best deimos luck
took me about 2-3 weeks of grinding for one good one
You keep count of your bricks? 
started half way around my playtime yeah
And is it helpful?
no
