psyker-class

[radiant frigate]

XV is quite customizable

[jovial juniper]

YES

[marble crater]

It is, I rolled one with Maniac and Flak and I change both blessings depending on what I want to do or run, sometimes shred and rampage, then rampage and momentum, shred and perfect strike, is fun

[plucky flax]

No melee can beat combat axe on zealot.

[radiant frigate]

yesn't

[plucky flax]

Very balanced weapon.

[radiant frigate]

it is most certainly a contender for rank 1 horde shredder

it does fall behind in boss/elite damage

[upper sun]

how do you deal with maniacs and carap on combat axe?

[radiant frigate]

hit them until they die

preferably in the head

[plucky flax]

It does very good elite damage.

[remote bloom]

Beat them to death

[plucky flax]

Not as much unyielding as evis.

[upper sun]

🤔 idk i dont feel like my rashad axe does well against carap and maniacs

[radiant frigate]

"very good" or "onetap crushers"

[plucky flax]

But very good against flak assassination bosses.

[radiant frigate]

important distinction

[plucky flax]

Yeah go try evis vs 10 crusher and combat axe vs 10 crushers.

[upper sun]

can i try neither

[plucky flax]

The better dodge will outshine the killing power from the rev.

[upper sun]

id much rather have an ogryn shield vs 10 crushers

[radiant frigate]

there will promptly be less crushers to deal with on evis so

[plucky flax]

You can't let the rev attack channel against many enemies.

[marble crater]

Do I need to craft a combat axe for my zealot?

[radiant frigate]

no

[upper sun]

you only evi knife and crusher

[radiant frigate]

though if i see 10 crushers i am nading it

[upper sun]

other weapons dont exist

[upper sun]

ok vet

[radiant frigate]

i spoke of the stun nade... so i can eviscerate them

but that too

[plucky flax]

Okay then same thing with axe.

[upper sun]

🤔 the duration should be enough for 4 max right?

[radiant frigate]

axe will have more left to deal with after it wears off

[jovial juniper]

Easy

Now those same weapons against a wall of bullwarks

Hmmm, no that might be unfair

[remote bloom]

For that we'll send a Veteran with nades

[jovial juniper]

Understandable, but in this specific situation, only melee aspects and dodge

[plucky flax]

Combat axe ez.

[jovial juniper]

Staying alive is important of course

Eviscerator supremacy

[remote bloom]

I am torn between eviscerator and heavy sword

.-.

[upper sun]

what ranged weapon?

[plucky flax]

Not blaze trauma.

[upper sun]

heavysword trauma 😻

[marble crater]

Thammer Trauma, horde clear and boss damage

[jovial juniper]

Give a thammer to a psyker and it's going to be V trying to lift the Sparda

[marble crater]

Now what if we gave a thammer to an ogryn?

[jovial juniper]

And yeah, this is true, thankfully, zealots have chastise, which creates breathing room

The real threat to the Eviscerator is a pack of ragers

Crushers, bullwarks and maulers hit hard but telegraph their attacks

And even if you cancel the shredding, you'll be doing good damage

[plucky flax]

You'll be doing good damage with combat axe regardless.

With any hit.

[radiant frigate]

i find that they have been much less of a threat since i swapped to martyr zealot

[jovial juniper]

You will not one shot it, just saying

[jovial juniper]

It doesn't feel worth it

To trade with them

Even if you use your ability to stagger them

[plucky flax]

I know. Didn't say anything about 1 shot.

[jovial juniper]

Even if you do the stab

Which has a 5 meter reach

It's not worth the trade

[upper sun]

so tru marty is the only way to play the game with bullshit bursters and vets stealing all the ammo

[jovial juniper]

Understandable

[upper sun]

ogryn and zealot are the only classes in the game ignore everything else

[plucky flax]

I play stealth loner martyrdom/momentum.

[jovial juniper]

Idk, psyker has its charms

Specially with force swords

[rocky yarrow]

But everyone can happily agree there is no fourth class

[upper sun]

zero medstations used
2000 hp damage taken
600k damage dealt
yup its zealot time

[jovial juniper]

Or the dodge build

[radiant frigate]

Real

what's the most common zealot and why is it judge

[upper sun]

verily

[jovial juniper]

Always judge and fanatic smh

[upper sun]

most people think "hmm i luv the emperor and hate heretics which personality/class matches that most? yup judge zealot"

[rocky yarrow]

Emprah bless me with the personality scourge so that I can rid myself of the damn agitator

[upper sun]

judge was the first class i made but didnt level then i played psyker

rest i only levelled for melkbucks and then eventually played

[radiant frigate]

i'm out here chastising the wicked rn i'm refusing to die rn i'm onetapping crushers i'm faithful as fuck man i'm a zealot man

[upper sun]

VERILY

shit im gonna be saying verily a lot

[jovial juniper]

I'm the opposite, I want the agitator

The female one

[radiant frigate]

i also kinda want the agitator

or the fanatic

wanna call people clartyhead for taking all the ammunition

and have a drink of something fiery

[rocky yarrow]

True

[radiant frigate]

and, as ever

BEWARE YON BARREL

[rocky yarrow]

Honestly my #1 business expense will be swapping all the personalities on my operatives

[upper sun]

everything can go except savant psyker and agi zealot

[jovial juniper]

I want to bad mouth the ab-humans while also bonding with them

[upper sun]

actually i like judge even if everyone uses it

[upper sun]

shes a radical accelerationist shes just like me fr fr

[jovial juniper]

Judges are interesting, can't lie

[radiant frigate]

i think tim bentinck put it better than i ever could

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BnXKQeR9DeM

[upper sun]

most important part of playing judge is starting every mission with "HELLO TO ALL NON PSYKERS"

[jovial juniper]

I love when agitator revives psykers
"Your skin... so cold"
Yeah, give them a hug ffs

[upper sun]

FS give us habs and more social interactions

[rocky yarrow]

More interactions FS

MORE

[upper sun]

ths ship UI just gives us more time to change our minds about playing the game

hmm do i walk over to the mission terminal? or do i just enjoy my life and close the game?

latter wins more often than not 😭

[jovial juniper]

Priority number 1, get agitator for my main

[rocky yarrow]

What 5 months(?) no content does to a playerbase

[upper sun]

i wanna see ogryn mains waste 22mil dockets on rations for larping reasons

[rocky yarrow]

BETTER THAN BREAKFAST

[jovial juniper]

You need to learn how to rationalize your, well, rations, Slab

[thorn cedar]

i have been using purloin providence all day and its terrible. i unironically love it though

with battle meditation on top sometimes you get a beautiful series of triggers that makes it almost seem worth it

[untold niche]

ya thats looks more like a5 damage, but my experience is the second guy 200+ as well

[dusk void]

I’m sad because I won’t be on the game game tonight due to a Colombian girl

[patent wing]

wanna play a game -> load into lights out with only bots -> sigh

load into maelstrom -> game already lost and u join the loading screen -> be locked

takes fking agest to play a game

loading times are unacceptable

[upper sun]

Not gonna be active on Discord tonight. I'm meeting a girl (a real one) in half an hour (wouldn't expect a lot of you to understand anyway) so please don't DM me asking me where I am (im with the girl, ok) you'll most likely get aired because ill be with the girl (again I don't expect you to understand) shes actually really interested in me and its not a situation i can pass up for some meaningless Discord degenerates (because ill be meeting a girl, not that you really are going to understand) this is my life now. Meeting women and not wasting my precious time online, I have to move on from such simple things and branch out (you wouldnt understand)

holy shit guys brunt today

and one deimos 80dam 78 first mob 77 and finesse 64

[fading galleon]

are those good dumpstats for void?

I got a very similar roll lol

[upper sun]

blast is extremely dumpy if you look at the scalling its not very significant

[fading galleon]

aight

[upper sun]

warp res im not so sure there is kind of like an arbitrary limit people set i dont remember

like 2 fully charged shots at 80 without dying? or something

(all 3 weapons bricked btw)

[fading galleon]

and perks?

[upper sun]

you wanna go surge/nexus right?

[fading galleon]

I rolled a flurry/transfer one rn

1 more change left

[vestal fulcrum]

Well you definitely don't want Sprint Efficiency

Flak is fine, probably

[upper sun]

flak is a safe bet carap is usually saved for nexus/surge for a crusher one shot

[fading galleon]

alright

[marble crater]

Already as good as bricked though

[upper sun]

were brickmaxxing over here fam

[marble crater]

Rip

In honor of that brick I will play purgatus now

[upper sun]

this is my main one

id love like crit/unyielding/maniac instead of groaners hell even unarmored or even specialists

actually

ill even take sprint efficiency or stamina

[marble crater]

I have maniac flak, it's nice

[upper sun]

nice

[marble crater]

68% warp resistance, almost nice

[patent wing]

i swear relay station is the worst map for psycher

[upper sun]

please use friends naming convention im too smooth brain to know the maps

[patent wing]

idk the sand map with the big fan

[upper sun]

OHHHH the one with the three batteries for the fan

yeah fuck that one

i swear if agent comes in and posts his clutch from that mission im gonna be pissed

[patent wing]

yes

[upper sun]

the one with the elevator to the coms plex is fantastic for psyker tho

[patent wing]

next time i just use a spin bot and go afk

i was playing purgatus and the spawn points are so shitty you have to literally 360 all time

[upper sun]

i stopped playing purge tbh too much eye strain

[patent wing]

use the custom flames mod

like me

set it to zealot flamer animation

[upper sun]

cant use mods 😭

maybe late this year if i get a propper rig

[patent wing]

oh i was playing on 1080ti and 3700x and was fine on fhd, fyi

doesnt need high end

[upper sun]

geforce now 😭

[patent wing]

is it good?

[upper sun]

90% of the time ye

sec in game

[untold niche]

war presist might be too low
Check if you can shoot full charge from 80%

smh hank you no tag me

[untold niche]

imo if you are going to peril edge, change transfer peril to nexus.

Personaly i would change sprint to cara

because my own void is running
surge,nexus. Cara + maniac

tbh, you could change transfer peril to surge also
See if you change to nexus, and lets say you get 1 crit, if crusher and rager BP would change
I remember gunner bp become 1 hit ya

[patent wing]

flurry surge gang rise up

[untold niche]

so i was asking in general

has anyone played darkest dungeon?

how do you find it
i don't get why people find it fun, i feel its just tedious

[radiant frigate]

atmosphere and peril

[upper sun]

dodge off the ledge
spend 5 minutes chatting with the other dead guy

YUP real trauma gameplay

[untold niche]

what peril mean
i thought peril is part of atmosphere

[radiant frigate]

peril is knowing that your people could die if you push too hard and make a mistake

[untold niche]

ooo

i thought it would be fun like urtuk

even though punishing and uh

"we are going to die" feel

still fun

was looking for some games to play on my phone

/ laptop

[marble crater]

I hear the second one is better and less tedious

[untold niche]

oh yeah i should install tainted grail on my laptop

[lethal lagoon]

Oh I was saying they are about the same

[untold niche]

hmmmmm

NOU

ok tbhi think i mis raedh is one

his*

read the wrong line

but still usually my a5 games total damage higher
( usually its like slightly less than 1400)

i need to play more too, getting carried recently

[upper sun]

idk how much damage are you doing on average and how often are you getting downed

[long wharf]

I've heard the opposite - that the first Darkest Dungeon is great, and the second doesn't quite live up to the first

[jovial juniper]

They changed the dungeon formula

[marble crater]

Maybe it depends on what you like about each one and we heard from two different groups
I played neither, but if the second one is less tedious and more accessible then I can imagine that it's disliked by the people who liked the difficulty that brought in the first one

[long wharf]

I haven't played either game, either

[woven onyx]

Which staff shoots soulblaze fire again?

[marble crater]

Purgatus

[woven onyx]

Ok

[jovial juniper]

Both games are a test of endurance, the first one had random enemy encounters, so you'll always be on the edge of your seat

[marble crater]

Waiting for the second one to come to gamepass

[jovial juniper]

Also the modding scene on the first one is insane

Since it's Workshop

[long wharf]

I'm waiting for Helldivers 2 to drop GameGuard, though it's looking like they won't

[upper sun]

yeah i still dont understand why they cant let steam handle their microtransactions i'm sure the fees arent as bad as the amount they have to pay the anti cheat people

[lethal lagoon]

They could literally hire one guy to write ban conditions for infinitely cheaper than paying for that useless anti-cheat.

[upper sun]

i really dont get it steam handles the aquilas for DT and no one hacked those

[lethal lagoon]

I assume it's a sony problem

[upper sun]

why bother jumping through hoops adding garbage to your already unstable game

[long wharf]

yeah, and the fact that Helldivers 2 is 100% online, there's 0 excuse for relying on a client-side anti-cheat

[upper sun]

other sony games dont have it

[lethal lagoon]

Because it's not like they even need to protect their micros

[long wharf]

definitely not a Sony problem

the Helldivers 2 devs have said that they're relying on the client-side anti-cheat to protect against people giving themselves microtransaction cosmetics for free

[lethal lagoon]

What small studio published by sony has an online multiplayer game with microtranactions?

[upper sun]

i heard HD1 had a problem with people stealing micro transactions

[long wharf]

... it's really hard to call it "stealing"

[upper sun]

well you get what i mean

[long wharf]

I'm not a proponent of software piracy, don't take this the wrong way

but it's not "stealing"

[upper sun]

ye copying isnt stealing

[long wharf]

besides, it's already been demonstrated that people are actively cheating in HD2

so GameGuard isn't stopping people anyways

[upper sun]

if it was stealing id pirate something 20000 times then delete to crash a company

[long wharf]

what it is doing is causing connection issues for players

[upper sun]

imagine cheating in a coop game

[lethal lagoon]

It's also a game with crossplay, so the cheating can be pretty concerning.

[long wharf]

and I don't care how honest or reliable a company is, nobody is going to have kernel-level access to any system of mine

[upper sun]

yeah

[long wharf]

the cheating is happening already

there are infinite money, god mode, infinite ammo, etc cheats in the wild

GameGuard is not only incredibly ineffective, but it's also only ever been used by trash Korean MMOs

the decision to use GameGuard in the first place boggles my mind

there are far more advanced/modern anti-cheat systems

[zinc phoenix]

Like DeezNuts

🫡

[lethal lagoon]

I definitely didn't hack in maplestory

[long wharf]

and in the end, the race between security and hackers will always go to the hackers

[lethal lagoon]

[long wharf]

a determined hacker will get through your security, eventually

[zinc phoenix]

[long wharf]

it's not an "if", but a "when"

[zinc phoenix]

F butt ween

Go away this is a chat for talkin bout shooting lightning from your fingers

[long wharf]

the best way to fight piracy in all its forms is to make the product cheap enough and available enough that nobody wants to pirate it

you weren't even chatting before, hush.

[zinc phoenix]

Now I am BEGONE

[long wharf]

this is the most activity the server has seen in weeks.

[zinc phoenix]

Everyone got bored

[long wharf]

that happens when you drop the god damn ball as badly as FartShack has

but hey, yet another penance system rework, that'll bring people back.

[upper sun]

better than nothing

[long wharf]

not really

[upper sun]

ive seen a couple of posts on the forum under the update with "we havent seen this person in x amount of time"

[long wharf]

I'd rather the game not get an update until they address crafting

[upper sun]

im gonna take a break soon until the crafting is fixed anyhow

[long wharf]

rather than FartShack insulting the playerbase with more shoddy penance cosmetics and more penances

[jovial juniper]

If
Else if
Else if
Else if
....

[marble crater]

It might, some people like unlocking and completing stuff, playing different personalities is also a huge upside for many, like myself

[long wharf]

yeah, at least they're finally changing that

[cosmic sigil]

I fear Catfish has been kidnapped

or catnapped

we should ask for POL

[long wharf]

what is that screenshot supposed to prove?

[upper sun]

i still wish ill upon whoever added terrifying barrage to the game

[marble crater]

I am looking forward to playing the female voice that keeps saying "naturally" and laughs like a maniac, not sure which one it is though

[cosmic sigil]

why should i try to prove something?

[long wharf]

you're the one that posted the screenshot

[cosmic sigil]

it just shows that the last com from the CM was the 30.03

[cosmic sigil]

that has nothing to do with proving something though

[long wharf]

less than 2 weeks ago

[marble crater]

There was something on the 4th from StrawHat

[cosmic sigil]

Yeah, for the hotfix iirc

[long wharf]

regardless, imagine being Catfish, getting hired to be the CM for Darktide, and FartShack just shits all over your enthusiasm for the game

just fat dumps on the community

sloppy, wet killing the playerbase

[cosmic sigil]

well CM work is probably not the easiest...

[long wharf]

it's even worse when the company you're representing doesn't want to make it any easier for you

[upper sun]

i swear to god we should absolutely get some compensation for wasted materials with the crafting update

[cosmic sigil]

that must be frustrating

my god i just could not

[long wharf]

must be

[marble crater]

that will happen

[long wharf]

the really weird thing is that every time Catfish has announced that stuff is in the works, FartShack puts out some bullshit update that nobody asked for

[cosmic sigil]

the hotfix?

[long wharf]

but the twins fight and new map were released out of nowhere

no well-planned lead-up with CM presence

[cosmic sigil]

there was a trailer for the twins

[long wharf]

just, splat, there it is

[cosmic sigil]

and the new map was teased

[long wharf]

and two days later it was released

it wasn't a paced, controlled build-up of interest at all

[cosmic sigil]

that came out a bit too soon after p13 maybe

[upper sun]

they 100% have some old boomer working in management that refuses to announce stuff and wants the crafting to be grindy because they dont enjoy the game and think the gameplay loop isnt good enough

[long wharf]

ignoring your slur, the people in charge of Darktide have proven to this point that they have no business being in charge of anything remotely live nor service

[upper sun]

boomer is hardly a slur

[cosmic sigil]

i don't think they have the experience of a live/service game

[long wharf]

is it a pejorative aimed at a particular group of people?

if yes, it's a slur

[upper sun]

its a term for a people from a generation

[cosmic sigil]

their work processes must not be geared toward that kind of game

[upper sun]

the name of their generation is baby boomers

[long wharf]

yes, but nobody called them "boomers"

until it started being used negatively online

[upper sun]

bruh you advocated for violence against the devs at some point and you're calling me out for this

[cosmic sigil]

as a 42 yo, i find it a bit derogatory

[long wharf]

what's really funny is that you're taking me seriously

[cosmic sigil]

i am not calling anyone kiddo

[long wharf]

1. people do use "boomer" as a slur, even though you didn't

2. I don't really give a fuck

[upper sun]

bruh

[marble crater]

So you are just being a troll right now?

[long wharf]

of course.

[cosmic sigil]

i am more offended by PFhoenix

like why

[long wharf]

when you get to my age, trolling becomes one of life's great pleasures

[cosmic sigil]

WHY

[long wharf]

I can't wait until I get old enough that nobody even questions what I say, regardless of how batshit crazy it is

[cosmic sigil]

it's quite fun kiddo

[long wharf]

... I'm older than you, son

[cosmic sigil]

ok boomer

[long wharf]

that's right

[cosmic sigil]

[cosmic sigil]

https://tenor.com/view/world-wide-web-internet-1990s-cbc-phenomenon-gif-19345228

[long wharf]

I was there when the old protocols were written

[cosmic sigil]

if you weren't there for september '93 that does not count

[long wharf]

https://tenor.com/view/internet-simpsons-gif-11288919

I was there before then

I was there for PPP

and BBSes

and listening to your 9600 baud modem go KRSHHSLKJLEJLSKTKSKSKKZZZ

[cosmic sigil]

my god that sound

[long wharf]

and before that, I saved games on an Atari 800 on 5.25" floppy disks

before that on tapes

[cosmic sigil]

tapes were the worst

i hated using that

[long wharf]

the worst part about tapes as an active storage medium was having to rewind the damn things

[cosmic sigil]

that was soooooo slow

how could anyone have the idea that yeah, we're going to put stuff on a medium that is just the most inconvenient ever

[long wharf]

I wrote my very first program on the Atari 800 using a BASIC cartridge

[cosmic sigil]

damn that's old

[long wharf]

well, because at the time, is was vastly more convenient than having no non-volatile memory

hard drives didn't exist

[cosmic sigil]

oh fuck, you're right

[long wharf]

the only thing you had was magnetic tape in various forms

[cosmic sigil]

i did not think about that at all

[long wharf]

I've been in the middle of computer tech my entire life, thanks to my father

[cosmic sigil]

i do take hard drives for granted

expect... we had to to without at some point

[long wharf]

PC hardware is so simple compared to 30+ years ago

no messing with BIOS IRQs

[cosmic sigil]

T_T

[long wharf]

or IDE master/slave switches/channels

[cosmic sigil]

oh that reminds me of the first pc I built

[long wharf]

or running out of room on your SCSI bus

[cosmic sigil]

it was fun but now, as a user... i am glad it's way more simple

and not having to be the it friend

[long wharf]

there will always be "IT friends"

[radiant frigate]

loner :)

[long wharf]

don't make the mistake of thinking that people are on average more PC literate now than they were before

the vast majority of people have a phone

phone usage doesn't translate to PC hardware knowledge at all

tons of kids today know nothing about computers

[marble crater]

Thank you

[long wharf]

despite using one for the majority of their day (their phone)

[cosmic sigil]

a lot of people that would have use a computer (desktop/laptop) 10 or 20 years ago at home, use a phone now

the pb is the younger generation at work, not being able to use a computer properly

it reminds me of that article https://www.theatlantic.com/sponsored/grow-google-2019/smartphone-generation-computer-help/3127/

[long wharf]

well, the real solution is to develop mobile-focused productivity devices

sitting at a computer isn't a "natural" position for people

we're starting to get mobile hardware that's seriously performant

look at the latest Surface Pros

or high-end Android tablets

some work isn't suited for a smaller screen form factor, but hook that up to a proper monitor, and it can work

there are still a lot of businesses, especially in big tech (MS, Apple, Google) where employees are issued a beefy laptop with docking hardware for home use, and at the office they just hook up to the docking hardware there

same work device used for both workstation and home/mobile use

[cosmic sigil]

that has been my case for a few years now, i have company issued laptop with a docking station at work and i bought mine for home use as well (more convenient)

but yeah a lot of work could be done today on tablets / thin laptops and remote access to some server

[lethal lagoon]

Time for computer chips in our heads

[marble crater]

Too many voices

[lethal lagoon]

When the voices are at just the right amount

[long wharf]

you mean like Elon Musks' latest fiasco?

[lethal lagoon]

fiasco, more like the future

[long wharf]

yeah, better back that truck riiiiight up

get the nozzle all the way up there

[upper sun]

its ok it only killed 50% of the monkys it was tested on

[lethal lagoon]

Chips out for Harambe

[marble crater]

Sour Milk really doesn't want to sell me Rending Shockwave t4

[upper sun]

i got deflector 4 😄

||on a purple too maximum savings||

[marble crater]

Did you want deflector 4?

[upper sun]

eh why not

i do use it on one illisi

[marble crater]

Together with slaughterer?

[upper sun]

😭

maybe after the crafting update

[lethal lagoon]

[zinc phoenix]

You’ve described how I work 😂

I have a MacBook Pro but I don’t need it except to run the IDEs and occasional local testing. Almost everything is cloud resources for building, testing and destroying various clusters

You can’t really do any kind of devops stuff with local anyway

[vestal tree]

so surge staff is a no go now?

[upper sun]

you havent played since it was changed?

[vestal tree]

nope, pray tell what happened

[upper sun]

its now mostly a single target staff for secondary

[vestal tree]

eww why

[upper sun]

it has a good stagger for two enemies with lesser damage on the second

it does good damage on the single target tho

perks for it are flak+ elite/crit chance/maniac

its a good staff has very high crit chance and can one shot many elites

[lethal lagoon]

Nah, Surge staff is great.

Spam right click and flaming shriek, probably the easiest playstyle to destroy aurics.

[upper sun]

i usually do better with truama than surge tbh

prolly because its so weak i play better

pls buff

[lethal lagoon]

I mean 1st place is 1st place, a win is a win.

And surge is the easiest way to get there.

Brain off Brr on

Aiming, watching peril, looking for chokepoints?

Yuck

🤢

[upper sun]

most of the time i run trauma i dont even get any hp damage until the third or more event

err encounter not event

[lethal lagoon]

I mean yeah, cause trauma requires you to turn your brain on

[upper sun]

brain bad

[lethal lagoon]

[upper sun]

i need to play more surge

this is the perfect clip for surge gameplay

i didnt even see/hear the trapper i was just shooting in random directions

[lethal lagoon]

Peak Brain Off Gampelay

PBOG

Also known as the famous "Pog" for people who spit too much while speaking.

Surge is POG

[jovial juniper]

I do wish Surge had more blessings

I know, rng shenanigans not good

[upper sun]

i wish it had less blessings

ie only nexus/flurry

[lethal lagoon]

[jovial juniper]

Stop posting about Surge, I was on a rogue trader ship, right?
And aaall my staves were Surge
I'm tired of seeing it
I took a look at my inventory and said
Hey babe, Nexus/Flurry
Ahahaha
[Nightsider dings]
AAAAAA

blows up from peril

....

I am so sad that there's no "Stop posting about psykers"

[limpid lodge]

Why Surge when you can purgatus

[potent echo]

Real psyker hours

[wind spruce]

This makes me so happy

[woven onyx]

I liked stacking Soulblaze to groups, and getting empowered brain bursts to deal with specialists and mutants

Make heads go pop, and also spread the blue flames!

[fading galleon]

hadron finally cooperated

("finally" being like, two days later. but still)

[lethal lagoon]

When Hadron Likes you(ignore the perks, was testing stuff)

[lethal lagoon]

Why executor, is that all you have?

[fading galleon]

MORE POWER

idk lol what do you recommend?

this is what I have at t4 atm

uncanny then, based on your previous screenshot?

[lethal lagoon]

Uncanny works.

Shred is nice too

Unstable isn't bad

Deflector if that's your sthick

Oh I accidentlly just listed everything that's also listed in the guide.

I mean uncanny is just so overwhelming it's always the default BiS for basically any weapon that can have it

Illy hits a lot of unarmored targets, so slaughterer probably edges out.

But luckily we can have both

[fading galleon]

hadron cooperated again

[fading galleon]

the arsenal grows

[cosmic sigil]

Illisi has so much blessings... shared between swords and duelling swords it's bonkers

[radiant frigate]

giveth..

[radiant frigate]

imagine if surge had surge

[fading galleon]

pffft what a mission

[radiant frigate]

46 minutes

[plucky flax]

Only if the 2nd attack can fork to another target. Otherwise its wasted damage.

[radiant frigate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[karmic finch]

Even without that it would make the surge competitive for monstrosity damage I think

But yes, having the chained crit doubled would be essential to make it worth the blessing slot

Though surge staff left click is pretty strong

Annoying they gave trauma staff surge and not surge

[plucky flax]

[plucky flax]

Yeah but it doesn't work with trauma right click.

But then again it's the same issue. A lot of wasted damage.

[lethal lagoon]

Surge usually get's me first in monster damage.

People don't really think about how panicked real games get.

Surge doesn't require aim, ammo, or any real set up to do boss damage

[plucky flax]

Buff trauma to be as good as surge.

[lethal lagoon]

^

Give infinite stacks for blazing spirit so Trauma can actually do damage.

The 6 limit ruins it

[plucky flax]

[radiant frigate]

idk it would simply replace flurry

i do not think it does much anyway

[karmic finch]

Ya, I love surge, and against monsters it's good enough.

If I can DS4 stab it in the face I do so, but as you say it's different when the match gets more hectic

[lethal lagoon]

Surge has a high base crit, so you'd definitely have to do the math for which to replace with a therotical surge blessing

I mean ds4 face stab means tunnel visioning the boss though

Surge wins again

Bosses do tend to come with lots of disabler spawns after all, which surge is great at then back to the boss.

[karmic finch]

To my knowledge it stacks additively, but testing that is hard, so 8.5*3 = 25.5% less charge time, which is a big difference

Surge almost certainly higher DPS than flurry, as your crit rate is huge, but flurry is more reliable

[lethal lagoon]

The question isn't Surge or not Surge, but whether to replace warp nexus or flurry. I mean it seems like it'd be obvious to replace Flurry.

[karmic finch]

There would be pros and cons to it, I would probably go surge over flurry myself, but pros and cons is a sign of a balanced game

[lethal lagoon]

But you'd have to the math cause crit has diminishing returns

It's probably better to replace flurry in that scenario though. But only probably

[karmic finch]

But when crits are doubled that's not really the case

[lethal lagoon]

I mean each point of crit is still worth less than the previous

[dim parrot]

[lethal lagoon]

But as I said, probably replace flurry

[radiant frigate]

is it now

[lethal lagoon]

Thats how crit always works yeah

Unless you have like special on-crit abilities but in terms of damage yes

[karmic finch]

Surge without the crit node would be doubling down on unreliable damage lol

[lethal lagoon]

Let's see 33% base Surge damage, 53% with nexus assuming you are properly edging like a good boy.

Or 25% flurry atk spd.

[radiant frigate]

i will take the 53%

[lethal lagoon]

Surge crits do about 50% damage, but with Surge Blessing it's about 150% damage.

[karmic finch]

Flurry is 33% less time charging, but can't reduce the time releasing the secondary

[radiant frigate]

you mean 50% increased damage

[lethal lagoon]

Yeah yeah, everyone get's what I mean

[karmic finch]

25% less time charging sorry, or 33% more DPS.

But again, it's less than that as there's a fixed time to release the shot

[hollow current]

Don’t people have a tech for getting surge stave damage out almost instantly?

[radiant frigate]

but then the surged up surge would be 300% normal damage on crit

[lethal lagoon]

No?

Well yeah

Anyone logged in and have the difference between a surge normal hit and crit?

Or the table

[karmic finch]

Surge has the crit bonuses so it's quite a big jump

[lethal lagoon]

crit bonuses don't do a lot, so not really

I've been doing the math but not hitting enter cause I don't have surge's exact numbers, I'm just assuming it's 50%, so 200% crit damage basically.
That means warp nexus only increases DPS by 40%.

When you take into account overkill

Warp Flurry + Surge Blessing is potentially better on Surge staff.

That seems completely wrong

Okay off I go

[lethal lagoon]

No I'm a dummy

No wait, I'm not

I need to stop doing math while late and old

[karmic finch]

Just found an image with 60% crit bonus and that was just below 150% on crits

So probably 50% is a good approximation

[lethal lagoon]

Then yeah, Warp Flurry + Surge Blessing for Surge Staff would probably be the meta.

[karmic finch]

Normal hit 100, crit 150, surge crit 300

[lethal lagoon]

No 250

No wait I am dumb

Okay so warp nexus is 40% DPS

I still feel like Flurry would be better

Also depends if Surge blessing would hit two targets or not

I need surge blessing on Surge NOW

You know now I'm not completely sure Warp Nexus and Surge on Voidstrike is the correct choice

[radiant frigate]

as opposed to.. flurry instead of surge?

[lethal lagoon]

That and or Surge + Flurry

[radiant frigate]

surge flurry sounds like an awful idea

[lethal lagoon]

It sure sounds like it

[radiant frigate]

12.5% to crit, 17.5% with prescience

would you rather more than double/almost triple your chance to trigger surge, or cast faster if you chaincast?

either way my verdict is surge better if you use it less and have true aim, probably flurry better if it is your main weapon

[lethal lagoon]

Trippling your chance to trigger Surge sounds good.

Oh I'm mostly wondering if Surge with Flurry is better than Surge with Nexus.

I don't care about the other combos that much

[radiant frigate]

if you only click heads and have true aim then surge flurry good

[hollow current]

That’s what I ran on my void. Flurry and surge. With true aim you crit often enough that nexus doesn’t seem worth it to me asides from bosses or single to few targets.

But then again I’ve ran gunker for the last 300-200 levels so what do I know.

[radiant frigate]

do i buy it to complete my collection of force sword blessings?

[marble crater]

Sure, why not, can also use it for a meme flame illisi build

[rigid sky]

it's not as bad on illisi as it's made out to be (just don't pair it with blazing spirit lmao)

[radiant frigate]

i have only seen bloodthirsty once before

and i thought "wow this is useless" and slapped something else on it

[rigid sky]

it might get buffed another time

[radiant frigate]

it might

will pick it up in case

technically i am missing uncanny IV

but i do have it on the sharp illisi of leg paralysis

[rich spindle]

whats the 80% first target multiplier for illisi

1.3?

[radiant frigate]

79% is 1.32

80% on a deimos is 1.32

so probably same

and yes it is the same

[fading galleon]

other psyker was mainlining smite like his life depended on it and one of the vets used an agri shotty or something. took forever to kill enough enemies to advance

[radiant frigate]

checked on the unstable illisi of power

[radiant frigate]

agony

[rich spindle]

I wonder if the 10% damage diff between that and a 50% roll with ~1.2 has any noticeable breakpoints

esp with slaughterer stacks

[radiant frigate]

probably not

[upper sun]

damn do i get good rolls if i mod the discord

[fading galleon]

apparently. wanted to make a columnus for gunker, instantly rolled this. that was easy

[upper sun]

actually colum was fine for me too

i have a good one for all of my chars

[radiant frigate]

how come our guns are so much deadlier than whatever the heretics have

[upper sun]

chaos made them forget how to maintain them

though the gunner accuracy is criminal

[radiant frigate]

gunner accuracy is way better than ogryn accuracy

[upper sun]

that gunner was 93m away

how the hell can the gunner snipe me while my braced guns do zero damage at 30m

[radiant frigate]

rock :)

[upper sun]

i tried 😭 also I was just crafting stuff for ogryn i thought i was queuing up as zealot

[radiant frigate]

amm-o :)

[marble crater]

[fallow yacht]

secondary perk for blazing trauma?

elites? flak?

[rich spindle]

Prob flak cus it hits everythings feet

[marble crater]

Flak yes

That's a nice blaze trauma

[rigid sky]

Idk what to do with your other modification

Nexus to 4 maybe? Or perk to 5%?

[upper sun]

🤔 how good are you at edging?

[plucky flax]

Crit damage to flak and up nexus to t4.

[wind spruce]

Above 40% peril the nexus upgrade is atleast 1%, so definitely better to upgrade that.

[mighty olive]

So I made a blaze trauma and I swear it was the worst staff ever in terms of damage, is it honestly still good or? Lol

[upper sun]

yeah its very weak it needs a buff

[plucky flax]

Yeah extremely bad staff.

[upper sun]

but seriously tho enemies need to be closer to the center to take full damage

[plucky flax]

Pls buff

[mighty olive]

Why do people still play it then? >_>

[plucky flax]

People like me like the pain.

[mighty olive]

LOL

I tried it and kept getting bitched out by zealots who said I just flunk shit around

So I deleted the build

_<

[upper sun]

so tru so tru whenever i use it i almost no hp damage until the like the first event because everyone else has to carry the guy with the bad staff

[rigid sky]

For real though Trauma is super strong

[marble crater]

We are trolling here, it's very good

[rigid sky]

Very versatile

it does everything

[mighty olive]

_>

[rigid sky]

It's something that you have to get a feel for I think

[upper sun]

actually its kinda mean to use it on trash mobs when a zealot/ogryn are trying to get toughness up

[mighty olive]

I dunno I didn't see the hype when I played it at all

[rigid sky]

one strength it has is that you can stagger most shit with a low charge attack, and you can centre them at your own feet

which keeps you safe very well

[marble crater]

You kill and cc the big targets and burn down the rest, it's very nice

[mighty olive]

[stuck sinew]

Where it's really at is the surge blessing primary fire spam Trauma

[mighty olive]

Doesn't surge not work eith blaze though ?

[marble crater]

Add some Perilous Combustion and shriek and you will also burn ragers and maulers while doing that, spam shriek, win

[stuck sinew]

It only works on left click

[mighty olive]

ahh lol

[stuck sinew]

Become a wizard machine gun

[cinder moon]

i equate trauma with crucis powerhammer; sure, it's technically good, but you're just knocking shit over and taking forever to actually kill stuff outside of the rare occasions you get a one hit

meanwhile void go brrr

[marble crater]

Heresy, at least compare it to the ironhelm

[cinder moon]

inevitably see trauma user spamming it at their feet because they got surrounded by the stuff they weren't killing

[mighty olive]

Yeaaaah see that's how I'm feeling. I can do 900k plus dmg with void but shit eith blaze trauma

[stuck sinew]

The Ironhelm is overall more vers though

[calm sapphire]

Trauma can somewhat kill elites at a good pace

[marble crater]

Trauma is also versatile

[cinder moon]

surge and void are just better, i even use purg over trauma

and i don't like purg

[plucky flax]

https://youtu.be/2PRiD-sWsNQ

[mighty olive]

Yeah I don't think I'll play trauma again unless they change something

[plucky flax]

Veri bad all other staff would solo everything better than this.

[rigid sky]

Not every staff is for every person

[calm sapphire]

yep

[rigid sky]

But objectively speaking, Trauma is our strongest weapon

[upper sun]

do you use uncanny on your melee with trauma?

[cinder moon]

surge would make that first encounter a cakewalk lol

[cinder moon]

how? in terms of pure math?

[plucky flax]

Only if I play knife or ds. I can play illisi with trauma too and don't use uncanny there.

[upper sun]

so the uncanny soulblaze interaction isnt worth it?

[plucky flax]

Not for me I'd rather just keep blasting.

[calm sapphire]

trauma is just that good that I never really need to switch to melee wep unless theres a mutant / boss

[marble crater]

Save plasteel with that simple trick

[cinder moon]

i can do the exact same with surge and void

[plucky flax]

Surge is strong but nothing can touch blaze trauma in melee scab only.

[cinder moon]

except void actually has range, and surge stunlocks things without knocking them over so teammates don't have to stare at the ground to help clean up

[mighty olive]

Yeaaa am big fan of void, its saved my arse in so many situations

[rigid sky]

I like taking brain rupture with EP to compensate for Trauma's limitations for long range

[stuck sinew]

Left click

[rigid sky]

LMB spam also good

[plucky flax]

The worse your team is the better blaze trauma become.

[calm sapphire]

void can do the same yes but takes alot more effort imo to pull off, especially when getting surrounded

Surge struggles to deal with hordes so your better off using an illisi

[cinder moon]

just don't get surrounded

[rigid sky]

Shit does happen

Some arenas make it hard to not get surrounded while controlling an objective too

[cinder moon]

more seriously, i just can't see the draw with trauma, i've tried it and it straight up does not work for me

i can kill everything with void, i can stunlock and kill everything with surge

[mighty olive]

Ye same xD

[rigid sky]

The draw is versatility mainly

[cinder moon]

(the implies sarcasm)

[upper sun]

loner psyker is not gonna make it far in life

[calm sapphire]

trauma is just a great staff for area of denial no matter how bad things get imo

basically makes u untouchable

[cinder moon]

i have smite for that

[upper sun]

whats a smite

[plucky flax]

Blaze trauma extremely bad weapon pls buff.

[cinder moon]

buff surge

[upper sun]

unironically yes

[calm sapphire]

nerf psyker so u can only use staffs

no guns 🤡

[upper sun]

like maybe buff the secondary target damage from 25% to 40%

[cinder moon]

when they changed surge staff, i was initially annoyed

[upper sun]

also secondary target damage doesnt scale with crits

like

[cinder moon]

but i eventually understood it and now it's easily my favorite

[upper sun]

at least make it do the full 25% of the crit

[cinder moon]

yeah there are some edge case things with surge that would be nice to have fixed

but overall it's very good

[upper sun]

even with a crit secondary is still below 300

it seems to do 25% of the primary damage up until a certain point

its so weird

[rich spindle]

Surge is my fav now too

Beat staff at deleting spaced out ranged trash

Annoying it doesnt have any dump stats really

[cinder moon]

maining surge for a while skewed my perception of how annoying random shooters could be

it just deletes them, even when they're behind cover/in weird spots

[upper sun]

ye getting it to lock before they pop back into cover is so satisfying

[fading galleon]

who has a good build for me that uses shield? preferably the dome (it looks cooler)

[karmic finch]

Peril resistance

80% will get you a fully charged secondary with around 19.5 peril, every 10% less makes that 1 peril more

[marble crater]

For which staff?

[fading galleon]

you tell me

[karmic finch]

So if that's fully a dump stat at 60% it will be 21.5 peril, roughly, for a fully charged secondary

[marble crater]

You can play it with purgatus and make your own little fortress zone

[fading galleon]

I don't have a purgatus build yet so sure

sounds good

[karmic finch]

But then you are playing purgatus, and that also means playing brain burst

[upper sun]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9bc837d5-f10e-44e5-b679-27fb79f5c2d5

[karmic finch]

Because purgatus has no option to kill ranged

[upper sun]

this is what i use for purge

dome/bb/deimos/warp siphon

[fading galleon]

ty

[marble crater]

This would be my suggestion, with dueling sword

[upper sun]

kinetic resonance and empathetic might be worth it if you drop the last two points from warp siphon

[marble crater]

I play purgatus with assail and shriek, mainly because I play BB on trauma and smite on surge, wanted a build to play all Blitzes

[upper sun]

bruh deimos H2 is like one of the most broken melee attacks in all the game

imagine that shit on a zealot

[marble crater]

That could split Atoma in half

[fading galleon]

oh and dumpstat on purgatus?

[upper sun]

damage and warp res

[marble crater]

Damage and warp resistance

Too slow, damn

[upper sun]

damage only really effects the love tap from lmb

[karmic finch]

I hate BB so much

I think the base charge rate needs a buff, then the nodes that improve it can be toned down maybe

But it takes like half an hour to kill anything

[upper sun]

at least the precharge is nice

[karmic finch]

After all that time spent you can have someone headshot them with literally any gun and do the same job you just spent 3 seconds winding up

[marble crater]

Yeah it's slow, only times I use it is for snipers, dogs and far away specials if no enemies are around me

[upper sun]

it blew minds in pubs when i delete trappers before they even appear

like bruh im just in my corner edging my brain burst

[fading galleon]

ok that'll do then

[karmic finch]

And currently the improved psionics and the faster charge after ability use are like a crutch to make it feel ok

[upper sun]

nice

[karmic finch]

When they could have just made it feel ok

[marble crater]

This man has too much luck crafting weapons

[upper sun]

ikr

[plucky flax]

Why purga is so easy to craft.

3 blessings only with 2 dump stats.

[upper sun]

FS has a dedicated employee dealing with his upgrades

[marble crater]

Yeah, but he also crafted other weapons yesterday

[plucky flax]

Are they gud?

[marble crater]

Not perfect, but good yes

[plucky flax]

None of my weapons are perfect.

1.8k hours played for dis

[upper sun]

very easy to craft yes 😄

[plucky flax]

Eh you should have rebless to tb4 before last upgrade.

More chance of flurry/nexus 4.

[upper sun]

i have a usable one i just wanted to see how badly hadron can fuck it up organically

[fading galleon]

hit lvl 30 on tuesday

these are the best ones so far

[supple dock]

I'm pretty sure you want damage to be your dumpstat on purgatus right?

[upper sun]

do not post that surge

simon and knite will come after you

[fading galleon]

I also have a 550 deimos but it's deflector/unstable power lol. will try to get one with uncanny

[supple dock]

i mean deflector is pretty good

cheap way to get 30% block efficiency

[plucky flax]

Hrm they are okay.

[fading galleon]

can't change either of the blessings

[supple dock]

yee, i meant for the deimos

[upper sun]

I have made 20+ surges and not a single one has dam 78+ and flak4/elite4 and nexus 4

[fading galleon]

F

I am slowly running out of resources though.

[supple dock]

I'm honestly at as close to perfect as I'm willing to grind for

[fading galleon]

have blown through nearly 60k plasteel since tuesday lol

[supple dock]

I need to conserve resources for new crafting shit lmao

[fading galleon]

actually more than 60k

[upper sun]

eh i stopped i went up to 30k plasteel then hover around 5k

[supple dock]

I'm at like..

[upper sun]

i wanted to try some new weapons

[supple dock]

140k plasteel and 60-80k diamantine

[upper sun]

nice

[supple dock]

i am READY for new crafting shit

G I B

[upper sun]

they better reembrace me for the 50k i spent for pcycle 4 and thrust 4 😭

[supple dock]

Though I definitely blew about 2m the other day

[cinder moon]

reembrace 😂

[supple dock]

Trying to see if I can't get a good 380 sword and staff

[radiant frigate]

must conserve resources for force/power greatswords...

[supple dock]

spoilers

[upper sun]

let me cope in peace ok

[supple dock]

I found 2 380' and they were not good

[cinder moon]

🫂

[fading galleon]

aw brunt rolled me a really good 380 base but hadron bricked it.

anyway weakspot is a meme but I'll live with this one for now

[supple dock]

fuck that condescending piece of shity

i hate hadron

all my homies hate hadron

[radiant frigate]

first power sword i upgraded came with power cycler IV and brutal momentum

[upper sun]

one is ass one is pretty good

[cinder moon]

i've spent more than 50k of each resource trying to get momentum 4 for literally any eviscerator over the last year, still haven't gotten it

[upper sun]

ban

[radiant frigate]

[upper sun]

EVI HAS BROMOMENTUM

WHAT

[cinder moon]

momentum

[supple dock]

im a fan of slaughterer over shred

[upper sun]

STOP GIVING ME HARMFUL INFORMATION

[radiant frigate]

non brutal

[upper sun]

oh

[cinder moon]

not bromentum

[radiant frigate]

just momentum

[fading galleon]

evis XV with momentum and rampage is fun

good sustain

[upper sun]

yeah i use momentum 3 on mine its good enough

[upper sun]

ye me too

[cinder moon]

yeah, i have one with rampage 4 and momentum 3, just need momentum 4

[radiant frigate]

i use shred to trigger crit cdr

[marble crater]

Brain off mode

[radiant frigate]

it good

[supple dock]

so what do you guys think about gunner resist for psyker?

[cinder moon]

just use deflector

if you're getting shot

[upper sun]

i dont really have a gunner problem on psyker

[radiant frigate]

always run gunner resist on every character

is my take

[supple dock]

Yeah that's kinda my take too, because I can just walk down a group of gunners

[upper sun]

im pretty sure it has diminishing returns like 2x gunner resistance is fine

[cinder moon]

good to have at least 1 gunner resist on 1 curio though

[upper sun]

1 gunner 1 bomber 1 flamer is nice

[supple dock]

I run all 3 as toughness blessings, toughness perk, gunner resist and cooldown (warp siphon shit)

[radiant frigate]

sort of but not really, it adds up to around 50%

meaning you last twice as long vs gunners

it good

[supple dock]

though im kinda considering switching from cooldown to toughness regen

[radiant frigate]

toughness regen speed?

[supple dock]

mmhm

[radiant frigate]

pretty heretical imo

[supple dock]

you think?

Hmm

I mean psyker with illisi has crazy toughness generation

[radiant frigate]

yeah waste of a stat

[upper sun]

i use toughness regen on ogryn and zealot psyker idk

[supple dock]

yeah fair

I'll keep the cooldown then

4 less seconds when I'm spamming venting shriek seems solid

[radiant frigate]

my zealot currently has gunner/health/toughness

[rich spindle]

All 4 cooldown is probably bos for psyker

Bis

[supple dock]

yeah

[radiant frigate]

psyker currently gunner/sprint/stam

[supple dock]

you use dueling sword?

[plucky flax]

I run triple toughness regen.

[radiant frigate]

illisi

[plucky flax]

[supple dock]

really! I'd expect stamina with the dueling sword because gotta go fast

[radiant frigate]

i also have an obligation to move at an accelerated pace

[supple dock]

but I guess it means you don't need kinetic deflection..

[radiant frigate]

no i do

[supple dock]

wait does it make kinetic stronger?

[rich spindle]

I took off sprint when i realized i stand still to cast as psyker a lot

[supple dock]

I play mostly surge (read: only) so I love to move around a lot

you can keep a good pace going with positive stamina regen if you slide at a specific interval

[radiant frigate]

no but i like having KD for resses plus it's on the way to true aim and DD

[supple dock]

this is fair!

[radiant frigate]

having a res fail because i couldn't block a few trash mobs just feels bad

[upper sun]

dont need to block if everything is dead

[radiant frigate]

yes but sometimes you don't have the time to get them dead (right here) (right now)

[supple dock]

trueeee. I have the added bonus of having venting shriek

so unless there's like 4 gunners in an open field I can usually get the revive

[rich spindle]

BRICKED

[radiant frigate]

that's epic

at least you have +maniac

slap on uncanny slaughterer and gg

[rich spindle]

im going for a perfect roll

[radiant frigate]

my condolences

[rich spindle]

carapace is gonna bug the hell out of me

is uncanny actually good on illisi

[jovial juniper]

You're right
Gets punished for removing the net from your teammate

[radiant frigate]

if you use it for everything yeah

i think it is real neat when i shriek at mass armor and it actually does damage because of uncanny slaughterer

and piling on more from perilous combustion because you're also killing them in melee

i always run it

but I'm also something of an outlier

melee psyker

[plucky flax]

It's okay if you're gonna use it against crusher.

Against horde shred would let you kill more, or executor if you hit head. Unstable is easy to maintain too.

[rich spindle]

I zap crusher with magic

[mighty olive]

think i might rename emy psyker Funkadactyl when we can name change XD

[cinder moon]

i requested a name change on the forums literally the day before the announcement for personality scourge

[upper sun]

going from holy to Holly

[cinder moon]

holy was too on the nose

the rest are "misspelled", though i'm not entirely sold on fite or marshal

[rigid sky]

I will give you my bubble trauma build in a sec

[plucky flax]

Name/gender/voice change is with the april update?

[rich spindle]

Ill be honest ive been reading your name as kinte and in kunta

[supple dock]

Since we're posting weapons

[rigid sky]

https://darktide.gameslantern.com/build-editor?id=9bc84f38-beeb-44d7-897d-62bb5e1ce665 @fading galleon consider changing to middle aura to get TDR talent, consider dropping puppet master and the peril reduction

[supple dock]

I'm unsure if I want maniacs or crit chance though on my surge :/

[rich spindle]

Maniacs not that good imo

[supple dock]

Carapace then?

Or just go crit

[rich spindle]

Carapace will only boost dmg against crushers, which I wouldnt pick personally

[supple dock]

Yeah true enough..

Ugh. crit is pretty much the best huh

[rich spindle]

I like picking unyielding

[supple dock]

MAYBE uny-

yeah that oine

[rich spindle]

Because I spam bosses with surge

[supple dock]

I use kinetic resonance for that

[upper sun]

im a flak elite enjoyer its hard for us out there

[rich spindle]

Elite is a good choice too

[supple dock]

Elite! Does it push you past any breakpoints that it normally wouldn't?

[plucky flax]

Why not?

Maniac let you 2 shot rager.

[upper sun]

I WOULDNT KNOW 😭

[plucky flax]

1 shot trapper without crit.

[supple dock]

LMAO

Oh that's big

[marble crater]

Marshal is not misspelled

[plucky flax]

I run flak maniac on my surge.

[upper sun]

🤔 i dont think you need maniac for that

[rich spindle]

I never had an issue with ragers not dying fast enough

But its not worthles

[supple dock]

true enough

I usually deal with muties with a mix of sword and staff

[plucky flax]

I did 186k monster damage with surge not having unyielding.

[supple dock]

that's wild wtf

[rich spindle]

I bet crit chance comes out to more damage over a whole match

[supple dock]

Ehhhh yeah probably

Hmm. I like using brain burst (heresy I know)

I'm unsure if I want kinetic resonance or if I should leave it unaugmented

[plucky flax]

Not bb with surge

[supple dock]

I use bb pretty much exclusively for snipers

[rich spindle]

When i use surge i dont take kinetic res

[supple dock]

Hmm.

[rich spindle]

Surge is the boss damage

[supple dock]

fair enough, i guess that means I have a free point

TIME TO PUT IT IN BATTLE MEDITATION

no im kidding

[plucky flax]

Do you have kd?

[supple dock]

yee

[plucky flax]

What's your tree atm?

[jovial juniper]

It's okay, they have Illisi for crowds

[cinder moon]

marshal/martial

[supple dock]

Perfect timing is prolly waht I'll put that point into

Or, I take away kinetic resonance and empathic evasion

For augmenting my shriek

[rich spindle]

What da.

[marble crater]

So you misspelled it into another correctly spelled word fair enough

[rich spindle]

You gotta get creeping flames upgrade on shriek

[supple dock]

I usually take care of crowds with illisi so I never had a big use for it

I use the push for a LOT of things

my favorite use is using it through walls when someone gets dogged

[plucky flax]

Aye get creeping flames.

[supple dock]

mmm

alright

[rich spindle]

Creeping flames is so much damage

[plucky flax]

Also remove warp expenditure for perfect timing.

[supple dock]

yeah I was swapping between those a lot

trying to see which I liked more
