I always felt old BB was underrated
It was frustrating because it didn't 1-shot specific enemies
then they gave it like 50 more damage and bam oneshot
Now I hate using it without Resonance and EP lol
With both it feels like a plasma gun imo
resonance and ep sounds hilarious
It wasn’t
It didn’t kill anything you needed killed and warp charges were super annoying to deal with.
Especially back during launch
yeaaah
You had to use this slow clunky thing to get massive boosts that weren't really negotiable
so you'd be using 2s at a time to bb trash mobs
Killed snipers, gunners just fine
And you could tap bulwarks with it so they'd drop their shield
I mean using on trash mobs was a bit gratuitous lol
I believe it didn't kill trappers, it definitely didn't kill bursters
I think it didn't work on dogs?
Dogs needed 2
and the insult is that there's a penance for BB'ing a dog mid jump
Lower tier
Which for the jumpy fuckers they are isn't the worst
yee, of course. worked on heresy and lower, but it still made me annoyed lmao
Psyker is definitely a lot better now anyway
trueee
For everything besides penances
SO much toughness regen if you're on your game
but you fuck up once and you just explode lmao
And gun psyker is a real thing now and not just a weird semiaccident
gun psyker is actually insane
but my principle is that why would i play a space wizard to use guns ]:<
It's basically its own class
now if they added like warp bullets or some cool shit i'd be interested
Scrier's Gaze is kinda that I guess
I mean the extra spice has to be coming from somewhere
You should get some glowy warp fuckery shit with it imo
yeah that would be cool
male seer's voice lines are so good
"You're all going to die! Isn't that nice!"
Recently heard a line between ogryn and psyker
Ogryn goes "how is ship in space, and in warp?"
and he goes "oh, sweet brute" or something
Male loner: "I've been thinking..."
Bodyguard ogryn: thinking is good! You should do more of it!
Loner: ...as I was saying, I've been thinking-"
"See! Good job listening to me!"
"...I've lost my train of thought"
The Seer and The Bully have wonderful chemistry going on between one another 
I played with my girlfriend's ogryn and we had that exchange happen in three consecutive missions yesterday
Both male and female version of Seer, that is
The foreshortened lifespans quote actually got me killed the first time
Because I was giggling too much
lmao
YES
YES LET'S GO
now, to celebrate, i shall roll for surge
i bought 18 voidstrikes and only 1 was above 350
i shall cry now, in a corner
Congratz Sibling 
this was done with this tree
"why no this?" "why no that?" trust the process
If it works, it works
Yes, I am agreeing 
literally, you don't need to waste 2 points for shriek upgrades because you're never using it anyway
-% peril gen good for purgatus cuz you can just hold right click and win game
all fire perks because it's purgatus
Or you can just quell occasionally and take essence harvest, but yeah, not like you have to optimise for making Shriek better
Inner tranquility is at least not detrimental
I would question battle meditation too but I guess you're trying to completely eliminate quelling
Which kinda makes sense as having a gap without being able to Shriek can be a bit dangerous
Tbh it's an achievement you can do in Malice so it's OK to not have a hyperoptimised build, you can play with luxury points
yup. for other staves i wouldn't have taken it but it makes me able to channel coruscation for maybe 5 seconds longer on average and that stacks up throughout a match
battle med is not great on anything other than purgatus because the amount they generate is simply too big to get quelled effectively
~5s channel time is better than ~1 extra cast
It's good on Scrier's Gaze actually
i've heard but scrier's isn't something many people take anyway
It's a gun psyker toy
i can't headshot for shit so i don't think i'm ever taking it
And yeah gun psyker isn't so popular
Pfft take columnus iag
You don't have to be precise
Just point that cone of death around head level
Or wade into a crowd with a DS4
you see, i invested maybe 6k plasteel on my vet to get a decently good ciag
DD/SG turn DS4 into a horde clearer
CIAG is one of the easier guns to build though imo
Since it has like 4 decent options for your #2 blessing
You only need Dumdum
And the modifier spread is quite friendly
You can even get by with a lower damage stat, only really important one is stopping power
not saying it ain't but getting both blessings is quite necessary imo and i'm not certain they transfer over classes, so i wasn't looking forward to rolling for dumdum and deathspitter again
They do transfer
coolio
Can say that with certainty
But if you don't feel gun psyker then yeah
I think it plays crazy fun, and it has some of the best boss DPS in the game (and dps against everything)
It's like an even more unstable ES/MF veteran
This is starting to be fun
also good for smytker
good luck
With Warp Resistance at 61%
Rounding discrepancy is all
Warp res dump stat is the best
That staff is perfect
Pray for good perks and blessings on the upgrades
Warp flurry 2 is fine to keep, but you want to overwrite stamina
So you need one good upgrade
I could also set Warp Flurry 2 as Terrifying Barrage 4 and guarantee likelyhood of rolling another tier 4 blessing
Which wouldnt be Terrifying Barrage atleast 😅
Overwrite the stamina with a bad t4 perk also
Terrifying barrage is legit better than surge
So stick surge on if you have it
yey!
Def put surge over tb
Nice
damn that's nice
Only rip is that you got t3s, but still
Literally 2 points off godroll
And having nexus locked in opens up both the burn build and the flurry build (though can't then take brittle and flurry)
Shame about Nexus not being lvl 4, but its 0,5% to 2% crit loss
Best I've ever seen.
Yeah +1 above what should be possible
Still god roll, just not god emperor of mankind roll
For sure infested is super dead perk.
Does blazing go up to 4?
Nope
doesn't infested count for boss damage?
only on force swords
No that's unyielding.
Infested are dogs and the corrupted zombies.
Oh and bursters.
i need to get a flamer without infested locked in
my best one has blaze away+overpressure+unyielding+infested
I like unyielding flak on dot weapons. So purga, flamer, knife, ogryn melee stuff.
Overpressure doesn't work atm
But it will probably be fixed soon
i know
flamer is 95% of the reason i play zealot at all, having a broken blessing really takes the fun out of flamer
getting one more magazine would also be nice
spend most of every match just meleeing
meanwhile purgatus go brrrr
Welcome to Zealot 
i don't mind it, per se, i just want more freedom to use flamer
Tbf isnt the whole point of zealot to be mostly melee
eyy got a decent one
worst case, I have a nice flurry 3 now if i get a decent roll with better distribution
So many eternal loadscreens lately
Flamer imo is mostly to compensate for having a bad hordeclear melee weapon
like a thunderhammer or a knife
If you can, provide game session logs to @fading galleon via DM, as they are providing them directly to devs interested in resolving the issue
my favorite loadout is evis + flamer + molotovs with chastise
Well I'm now LV 30 @vestal fulcrum
Time to create builds
And spend my 15K Plasteel

Damn the person who linked me previously Unlimited Power Smite build, now that im gonna try it, link is dead and build gone
Is this usable
A bit low on damage, yeah, but somewhat usable
But how different is a -18%
the difference between 62% and high 70% might only be like 30 damage
Keep in mind all the scaling we have.
Hmm
Warp rider, warp charges, etc.
Blast radius and warp resistance are dump stats.
thats a pretty good staff for boss daamge
well I could go roll this one
Well I'd say this one is better if I keep Elite perks and switch the other blessing and stamina perk?
Sounds about right
yeah
Now I need another blessings
FartShart crafting strikes hard.
Can't wait for rework next year.
Yeah next year...
2027
I am tired of this game dumping me always either dmg or first target
I feel like that's intentional
If Hadron bricks me this sword after spending 300K I'll pop
so I think you can get 59% more damage theoretically with max everything?
lol. shred is fine
Dunno if you play warp charges or not when you do void. I don't. But I have perfect timing and warp rider. So 15% and 20%.
Can I save this one
30*1.2 = 36 damage diff between a "low" damage roll and good roll :/

id change specialists and exorcist and its a perfectly usable weapon
because its a gambling system with variance that doesnt really matter much
Another bricked but at least I can rip that IV
Unless
Which one of these dueling swords are better?
You can make both of those usable I would say
I would prefer the first one though, unarmored to flak and rampage to uncanny 🤔
Why flak on ds4?
Shouldn't it be Maniac
I like maniac/carapace
anyone else think small shield should completely stop everything until it breaks?
literally just a temporary wall
Empowered Smite build got me killed more than usual
Stunlock 30 baddies infront of you, 1 scab bruiser walks behind you
Is Rampage better than Riposte on Dueling Sword?
who needs trauma when you have purg 
Purge is the only staff left for me to try, still havent gotten any good ones
Purgatus is easy to make
burn above 76, cloud as high as possible, rest doesn't matter much (quell speed ideally highish)
flak, (crit chance or unyielding), warp nexus, warp flurry
(but warp flurry isn't so necessary)
idk why the link died but
basically just use surge staff most of the time, and use smite for locking down mixed hordes
I have enough logs for now actually but thanks for looking out
They might've found the cause
For once?
Thanks
It's not like we often hear back from the devs that something is actively being looked into/has had a positive outcome re: investigation
Oh true.
The magic of a direct connection to QA
It's a lesson I learned working in customer service long ago: things get done the fastest if you can talk directly to the person responsible.
Expectation: Useful direct feed from players experiencing uncommon issues.
Reality: FATSHARK I WAS USING PLASMA GUN AND IT EXPLODED ME IS THIS FIXABLE PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME
That's why I suspect having me as the Great Filter is useful
HOW DOES HE GET SURGE TWICE IN A ROW
Filters are mandatory. Having to fill out a bug report already sieves out 90% of the emotional reactions from players. The issue is that it also filters out 90% of players who are too lazy to access an off-site webpage and formulate a response.
I send uncommon problem reports to QA, they tell me what the status of their investigation is, I go chase people down for logs, they find the cause, everyone wins.
(ie. me)
Yeah but they still come here to complain
No filter here.
And since I see so much, I start recognizing trends
Like the loading screen thing
Your game can crash and the next window you see is Discord. So you get to immediately start bitching before your RAM even dumps the memory from your now-terminated game.
i place a hex on a random fatshark employee every time i am inconvenienced in darktide
i sacrifice a small child for a chaos god everytime i get terrifying barrage
unrelated but in a thread bitching about the new HD2 DMR being shit the OP admitted in a subthread that he had no idea crouching increases accuracy and reduces recoil
just things to think about when you read any complaint
dont trust anecdotes period
nah u can trust mine im 100% always right
i mean sorta unironically though yeah, cause i know you now
but if i just joined id be like who this mfer
show me RECEIPTS of this bolter killing ten ragers
reddit is a broken clock moving slowly so its only right once a month
every time someone mentions the bolter they need to slightly increase the recoil values on it
nobody should be allowed to discuss it
I post on reddit sometimes so at least those parts are accurate :)
without making it worse for everyone
reddit is a broken clock but the clock is digital so the lights are just out on the inside
i think the saddest thing ive seen on a reddit post was like "off-meta builds thread"
and u get shit like agri brauto
"ive been using a lesser-known combo, the powersword and plasma gun. it lets me handle everything and it combos great with VoC, which is unappreciated"
i love agri brauto just turn off brain and go full auto
(about the crusher)
another dude thought they did an animation rework a month ago
i wanna live in the world he does
woah they have heavy attacks in the game now?
the new darktide update will turn it into a 40k themed cookie clicker
🤔 actually thats kind of an untapped market
i am unfortunately nowhere near as cool as crab
Your chatting patterns are insanely similar
what's what crustaceous fucker up to nowadays
Playtesting
what maddening suggestions has he presented
ive had people ask me if i copied the way i name my clips from him
i must know the chaos of his mind
i just happen to have the same kind of ape brain that names them all dumb shit so i can never find them later
He does find them later
Lisan al-Gaib
its a journey every time

I dont like vet, this is my only functional (i.e I feel like I do well) build
vet's tree needs a third rework, i hate to say
but yeah idk how to feel about them anymore
they are strong but in the most boring way
i like the vibe of vets tree the most out of any class
vet has so much bullshit in its tree its unreal
because it has the strongest subclass identity but then like
the nodes are all over the place
What did I just read
10% rending 15% extra damage my brother in the emperor i have to jump through hoops to get 3% extra damage
regular nodes are so strong that i find it difficult to justify reaching any of his keystones, AND ALL OF HIS KEYSTONES ARE VERY STRONG
it's quite silly
i wasn't very happy when the latest tree rework was power creep: the patch
Lol. Lmao, even
the actual node count needed to go down
i think vet is the only class where u cant go straight down one of the branches and just take every node
pls kill survivalist
And the class still sucks
Middle branch
Well not every node.
"wow who is this no-survivalist using idiot"
But you can just go straight down and it's viable
vet conditionally has better stats in both melee and ranged than either psyker or zealot iirc
u can make a dc parry one-shot a rager on headshot w/o crit
and u cant do that on zealot
And it STILL sucks
i don't use keystones in 4/5 of my vet builds because the keystones suck ass
it's just not interesting to play an immortal for 90% of combat time
vet is unfortunately played by veteran players which means it will always be terrible
Because Vet is a fucking BABY with low default movement speed and pathetic stamina stats
one point in tag couldnt hurt
the only solution is putting vet in a servitorized wheelchair
they dont suck, the regular nodes are just too strong. look at what the keystones provide on paper and tell me no other class would murder for that potential
that another player has to push around
literally the only keystone i use
like if you dont think for a second i wouldnt take Marksman's Focus on my Psyker you are very wrong
the stam regen delay was at least normalized to 1s instead of 1.25s
lemme correct; getting to the keystones sucks ass, and you're right, the regular nodes are wildly good
Ogryn would not accept money to use Marksman's Finesse
For.... Reasons
"Focus? Like when eat rations good?"
marksman's focus on ogryn would be a very reasonable competitor to lucky bullet (in that i wouldnt use either)
Just think about it .
ogryn has builds? i thought everyone went rocks/rush/heavy attack
Imagine it for second
Weapon Specialist is legit just a better Inexorable Judgement, and Judgement is VERY good
Everyone is dumb
Ogryn definitely has builds
nuh uhhh i just turn off my brain and spam heavy attacks
That's every build
i use taunt when i play with a friend who only runs thammer because u can absolutely destroy daemonhosts for personal amusement
kekback
Ogryn has like... 3 builds that deviate relatively little from one another
But not the strongest one
Rending pbb kickback is his strongest build
Makes plasma look like a toy
They mostly differ by ability choices - everything else is related to weapons, or sometimes your preference for being unkillable v being able to kill everything better
so i shouldn't do light em up kickback?
No

Light em up needs high rof to stack fast
still prefer light em up achlys, so fun
There's no benefit in doing that, no
Rending mitigates both armor and damage drop off
all the dakka, never have to press R to reload cause ult does it for you
It, along with high reload speed, turns the kickback into a deathbeam
i rarely play my kickback build, might be the change i need to make ww1gryn into the strongest
You can kill crushers. You can demolish elite squads. You can evaporate hordes. It just doesn't do great boss damage
i just like seeing things on fire
sucks the kickback minimum pellet count nerf absolutely ruined the weapon 😔
🎣
+2 nukes in maelstrom is game breaking
i may be baiting but there is a real group of people who see a negative number in a patch note for a weapon and they drop it altogether
regardless of the nerf itself
Yeah I know lmao
my ww1gryn gonna crunch them all
did we just get a devblog or am i dreaming?
dev blog
oh shit
We iterated on the condition, giving it a more dynamic setup. We tuned it to ensure it would switch at regular intervals during gameplay, making it feel much less static
speaking of crab
damn telo stopped streaming i wanted someone to read it for me 😭
New dev blog just dropped 
magistrati oubliette is gonna get worse now i can already see it
scab captains need a serious buff
leave scab captain alone its a nice short easy mission i can solo when half my team wont get on the elevator and i wanna do weeklies
triple the attack speed
call it a day
i wish magistrati had the scab captain disappear at half health and he runs away to the higher level (now accessible by a staircase)
and thats when u got the Rager Rush™️
woah where do you think you are?
thats too much gameplay in the game
even for chasm logistratum the most exciting face-off against the captain is when twenty shotgunners drop into the arena with him
and that guy still has specials spawning the entire time
yea magistrati is just kinda strugglin
its literally just beat the dude to death and then ur done because there's nothing else happening
90% of the time you outdps the scripted elite spawn wave
map is bugged to hell to theres like 3 paths to glitch to the boss before the rest of the team can even reach him
that corridor is fun tho
i wish it was more similar to the area in warren after the mid event
i had a dude blast my ears with motivational speaking while trying to solo clutch on that part one time
im shocked people play online games with VOIP enabled
no idea why you would do that to yourself
before everyone died he would just give the most tacticool callouts
i knew when he was reloading
at one point he said "there's a dog chasing me it might get me"
dog. singular.
my favorite voip users are the ones who just say sorry once all game for one cock up
my favourite was me and some other random hard carrying an auric map back when it was new, we never dropped but our other two teammates shared 10 downs each
i love this dude
and at the end of the game one of them types "thanks for the callouts [other guy], we couldnt have do it without you"
my friend i would duo queue with at the time absolutely HATED anyone who would talk this much
and me, with my voip muted, just wondering what any of that was even adding
but i found it amazing
lmao
last dude i had who talked was trying to play mission commander until he suicided for the 2nd time as a void psyker
and then he shut up
u could feel the shame
i had dc'd at the start and rejoined to "you all need to step up your game"
i mean forget what people even say
just listen to the quality of his microphone
i cant fucking stand it
presumably he said this because he planned to metaphorically fall down the stairs
and it's overlapping itself right over the game's crisp audio cues
like fuck man, just shut up
it made me think he was playing in his bathroom
anyway my shit is always on mute, i really dont care
had one guy talk bullshit in russian after dying 3 times
no one else in the team spoke russian
oh yeah that same psyker guy
ran AWAY from a plague ogryn
just absolute terror
if i couldnt hear him i would have no idea he did any of this
2 purgas in a team 
peak hab gameplay
1.1k kills with purga 688k damage.
1.3k kills with blaze trauma 492k damage. 
Such a bad weapon pls never use it.
other guy has more plasteel than you in the first sorry thats the one stat that matters
i rarely hear anyone on voip, last guy i heard was drunk or something and rambling so quietly i could only tell that he was talking, but not what he was saying. eventually he just DCd lmao
you've been outfarmed 😔
i feel like eu has less vc
i'm NA but still almost never hear anyone
this is partially true
i had a dude call me a monkey once cuz i went to rescue a dude while he and a mostly useless psyker were fighting a beast of nurgle
the strangest thing i have ever seen was one person waking up at the crack of dawn (i couldnt fall asleep) on a fucking friday and solo'ing an entire mission
DT bots are surprisingly useful if you don't let things get out of hand
unlike those karking useless IDIOT bots in aliens fireteam
darktide bots are really annoying to kill
as i have learned from doing duo runs
they are very good specifically at melee (and not much else)
had one guy rage quit after talking shit because i ignored a chaos spawn to rescue two people
only thing i don't like about DT bots is that they use medicae
they only do that in heresy+ i think so its kinda intended
They dont block poxbursters is the biggest thing
They can f the whole team by eating one
those dicks have 600hp they dont care
so they overuse their block, drain stamina, and then have nothing left to push
Lol
so unless they just HAPPEN to have stamina in the bar for when the burster leaps, they wont do anything
if it's just a lone burster walking at them, theyll push it
i have found that if a bulwark is next to a downed teammate they shit themselves and keep attacking the bulwark
so thats still better than 75% of the human playerbase
u can use a bulwark as a downed bot bodyguard if u wanna kill them
My one duo i won was saved by a bot revive so ill never complain
yep same issue they treat it like it was a shieldvermin or shieldrottie
those two would shield break eventually, but bulwarks dont do that in this game
happened to me a couple of times
i swear bots can roll a magic revive
ye
but it's like a nat 20
if one guy is clutching and he gets downed i usually leave so maybe he gets a useful bot
i want you to know then
that 90% of the time
it's just making the end screen take longer
and you cheapen the entire affair
please dont be fucken weiners
name doesn't check out
if they get downed its already over and someone who tries that hard deserves another chance
if 30 extra seconds mattered that much just leave when you die
As long as netters can shoot through hordes, walls, and bulwarks reconnect is a legitimate strategy
lot of quitter talk here
look all im saying is if someone spends 7 minutes trying to rescue 3 people i'm gonna give him another chance if i can
im obv not gonna quit the second i die but if the last person starts struggling i would try to help
consider instead just eating the loss and not abusing a reconnect function to cheese a win
i dont reconnect what?
i just quit
no fuck you you will take the win if i can help it
Consider not just giving the heretics a free win cus they used some deus ex machina bullshit to clip you through a wall
i dont want some pity bot to show up and, 9/10 times, fail to revive me and it extends the match time artificially, or worse, actually pick me up despite a fair loss
Like imagine letting the emperor down because you’d rather lose by the rules
dead is dead
eh i gave up
40k plasteel for 5 good weapons is too much for me
im just gonna take a break until they fix crafting
people are just bad at being lucky 😭
doesnt help that the actual weapons themselves are rather unintuitive for their respective stats
so you have people trashing perfectly fine weapons because damage is 73% instead of 80%
you gotta press that little button in the corner to get any useful info
the thing about 'the breakpoints' argument is that .. most players aren't actually doing that
they just see the number isnt as high as it could be and dump it
😭 i just want the perks and blessings i like on weapons
otherwise you'd learn pretty quickly that most breakpoints are on a very narrow margin, and that's on the low end
i have twoo many illisi with executor and deimos with slaughter
FATSHARK GUIDE ME PLEASE... PLEASEEE
It unironically took me 2-3 weeks for one good deimos
if i ever replace it that new deimos will still function exactly as well (except for warp resistance, which is a giant who cares)
this is how many deimos it took me to replace the one i had from melk
very weak pls buff
ye
nexus4 blazing3 crit+flak and its amazing
its very worth it
aoe protection from all melee attacks and good damage
Trauma is actually one of the very rare weapons where the bars matter a LOT
i think voidstrike is stronger and basically does all that
on a usual run with one i only take hp damage until the like 3rd encounter
but smaller aoe i guess
the difference between its charge, radius, and damage bars from even 50-80% is very substantial
since they all feed into each other
a mid trauma staff vs. a great trauma staff is that the mid staff takes longer, costs more perils, and does less damage over a smaller area
I doubted it for a while but the soulblze aoe is essentially the entire room. So if you're focusing a crusher pack and crit twice all the trash around them will have 6 stacks of soulblaze and die
epi center fall off is the big one
warp resist still matters to a degree
quell is what you dont care about
trauma is very expensive at the best of times
I have a perfect one but with 49 quell speed, ngl the quell speed is kinda annoying
it's the difference of being able to fire off two full charged shots for less than it costs to fire off three half-charged shots
and in the same time frame
it's pretty significant
and unlike voidstrike you cant crutch the perils cost off onto the weakspot transfer
you mean flurry?
nexus is really just for the soulblaze
and there's really not a lot of options anyway
flurry is very good though, charge speed also means less perils to cast
flurry and brittleness is an option
and again trauma is very expensive
i never tried it tho idk how good it is
Still cant believe my luck i got that 381 trauma today and then got the right perks and blessings for it too
But wish the Warp Resistance wasnt dump stat but quell instead
Or maybe equally shared 370ish on both
Supposed to watch TV serie, but damn, ill just have to go touch my new trauma staff to make sure its real and not a dream, and play a game with it now
Wut? You want high quell and low warp resist.
Not too low, but 60 something.
So you can quell for 2 ticks and full blast again.
If you have red trauma 100% everything then yeah that's good. But for a 380 weapon with 80 max stat you definitely want higher quell than warp resis.
you also get to edge harder which is always a plus
not too sure how to build around a flurry-brittle trauma staff
In what regard?
This Trauma Staff is good, but im not good at playing with it 🤷♂️
Psyker just too fragile
i never understood why people think psyker is fragile until i started playing zealot again
psyker can get toughness so easily
without even needing weapon blessings
i feel tanky on psyker with my unlimited power build, just gotta make sure to not get stumbled or get locked down by like 5 gunners at once
ogryn is chonky while zealot has a lot of passives that make you unkillable
vet and psyker are both part of the made of paper gang
*VoC spam
freakishly resilient
is it really the case

in my experience almost all use voc
most vets i see are using VoC
which i prefer
maybe I am playing a different game
once in a while you get an e-stance or stealth vet
you see the occasional infiltrate (lol)
I see one like 1/4 vets
to be fair vet is still the one class I don’t have leveled to full so I’m still a bit clueless about his stuffs
zealot chat still full of freaks
look i just play the class i don't go to the chat
except to doompost but i found out about martyr just being Really Big Number after only running bp for an eternity
so i no longer do that
This is my current deal. I'm kinda bad at using it, without developing RSI 
I played psyker first. Then I got spoiled by zealot and ogryn
imo zealot has the most potential for dumb fun in the game with the least time investment
Just zealot things
ill be honest my veteran skill tree is kinda built like a zealot though it has less survivability it can use a plasma gun that can deal with balwarks
Aurics seem safer than regular damnation, went lot better when actually had team that knew what it did
I’d be a lot more inclined to try vet if my zealot with a revolver didn’t do their job but better
hot take but if a rat with a knife is getting more ranged elite and special kills than a plasma gun veteran there’s an issue

ong they need to go scorched earth on zarona it’s still too broken
i wasnt using a zorona
just a general statement
can agree
i used to use a zorona but the reload is so long that i swap it to a las pistol
I almost never full reload my zarona unless there’s zero enemies, I weave in 1-2 bullet reloads in the middle of fights constantly
More manageable
how do you open this tab up I got 152 hours and I still don't know how to do this
ita a mod
It’s a mod
if you have it its f5
what is the mod called
scoreboard iirc
Beware tho dt modding is a bit of a sticky wicket, recommend watching a few vids on it beforehand
What's up servants of the Emperor, Briggso here and in this video i am going over how to install mods in Warhammer 40K: Darktide
Below is a list of links that i use for this guide. I know there are other mods you can obtain outside of Nexus Mods but to keep things simple i wanted to go through how to do it through using Nexus Mods.
If you find...
alright thanks for the advice
Ayo did anyone got Warp Battery recently? No idea whats happening but im stuck at 210s for some reason even though just to make sure i didn't used my ability for the entire match 🤡 is there a bug about this penence that I'm not aware of?
Getting low dmg scores with my trauma
That’s the max warp charges one right
It’s tough, best advice is make sure you take the 4% chance to get a charge for all kills rather than the 10% soulblaze one and choose a mission that you know has constant fighting
Other than that you can try using bb to steal elite kills from a distance to keep charges up if you aren’t in range
That penance was terrible, but yeah hi-intensity for it so you got constantly something to kill
Surge might be good for it so can make sure you target elites?
I've trying these methods for the last few days and somehow it stills at 210s which makes me think if there's a bug about this penence
I know but how can it not get more than that even not using my abilities for the entire mission?
That's why im asking or maybe I'm tripping
Because you have gone above 210 seconds
Haven’t
If it drops for even a milisecond the timer resets
I know
Tough moment in last mission, with blazing trauma psyker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kjM6d-69c
But still very weird
I mean the penance needs what it says on the tin, it’s hard but there’s no bugs with it
Damn
I see, welp I'll keep trying hopefully i can get it today
Good luck man don’t feel bad psyker penances are known to be really annoying
Yes but eitherway thank you for the feedback man
I used surge in shock troop gauntlet, helps if your team is not the best at killing specials and elites 
trick for warp batt: know your missions - avoid anything with an elevator and most things where you have to wait long for others. Then just go shock troop or high intensity
I think this is how I did it too
(I still don’t have Mallus monstronum or whatever because I can’t be asked to get a premade just to get it lol)
yea me too
Team up 😄
If you need someone to get that penence im here, i can use my Ogryn and get the boss attention with Loyal Protector
is it now
imo yeah
You can do maelstrom minibosses for the penance
bruh, what is with US servers and why does everyone just charge in and die to a demonhost after 70% of what is an easy run (weekly missions with no deaths rant)
They have less hp
why's that
While true it's also more hectic with all the extra enemies so it can be difficult for your team to avoid damaging them. Easiest way I think is killing a DH
is there a way to speed up force sword special actions?
Yeah perhaps, some kind stranger from here discord helped me get it
No idea
scayman and some numbers behind the name
You might be able to cancel the animation, with a block for example. Works for the MkVI power sword 
Maybe cancel animation but haven't tried if it works
hmm today i will pull a perfectly skippable boss
there are super rare moments where a dh is just completely unskippable to be fair, but yeah pubs are the worst
and everything was going perfectly until then
Yea but thrice in a day is wild
That one map where the DH can spawn right next to the med station comes to mind, I definitely didn't pull it because I wanted to heal the other day, ended up dying 
i'll just reroll this weekly
I think it works? maybe skips like 0.1 or 0.2s
I will try when I play later, I never actually tried to cancel the force sword animation, because I rarely use it to begin with
tbf I only learned of the vet PS animation cancel recently since it's the last class i made
And because you actually need to use it to have a workable weapon, force swords work perfectly fine without the special, imo
tbf if I were to use force swords without the special, I'd go with duellers, but that's a personal taste thing
nvm it's the same cutoff as if you were attacking
same. malleus and the ogryn private penance are the last 2 redacted's i haven't done, because F getting a private game for something you could do in normal play
i got zealot's before private games were a thing, and vet's are all pub possible, which is stupid
The push attack though
I'm a scrub and I don't use it : ' )
what does the laspistol push stop
trauma?
Or voidstrike 
it'll stagger ragers, not sure if it interrupts their attack sequence though
can also push poxbursters with it
and it goes through walls
Out of 8K plateel this is the only staff I have
yes I know I need warp nexus
but I only have 10 hours on psyker
It's not like every single blessing in this game is locked
and only 1 or 2 are useable
Could I get some insight about how to make a proper tree with void staff
it is already 30
Explain me what's "powerlevel"
probably getting dragged into auric maelstrom by a comrade for 18k xp per mission
idk
So for voidstaff is the best building crits
Hmmmmmmm
Let me change the whole tree
And what mele goes well with the staff
i pretty much exclusively run this
I mean I like knifes but I feel it does not have the best synergy with void staff
I should switch blitz
And what's best for Monstruosities because I'm struggling killing them with the current build I have
So Psyker by default is just bad against monstruosities?
Hmmmm
I have the Mk IV
stamina sucks with it
kinetic resonance brain burst is a nice burst damage phase
but it's the best mele I have
well the only one I have
huh?
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Yes because Hadron bricked me 10K plateel in weapons

i am always in favor of illisi
And I am not waiting another 4 months for a mediocre patch tbh
alt psyker's illisi
I think I have a deimos too
Wait
Ah right
I also have this one
Could be worse
1M dockets just to craft a "proper" duel sword

the thing that makes force swords good imo is illisi goes brr
really now
kills anything smaller than a boss for me
difference is that melee is backup to you and the main course to me
check the whole tree
tho a lot of people place a looot of value with shriek CDR
if you're using assail, go left/right keystone 
Warp charges my beloved
Well i'm using something like this for Smite/Void
I don't like EP for smite either
combustion
Consider talking Quietude instead of Warp Expenditure
outside of shriek, i think soulblaze talents aren't much for non-blaze builds?
wait why does this exist if there's one with 5%
Perilous Combustion is good
One is for gaining peril, one for reducing peril 
With Smite/Void?
Ah, I don't play void. But killing elites/specials and then burning things around them is good, kill two gunners and the trash around burns to dead. Might be easier to aim for elite headshots as they are taller?
By and large yes
Two elite kills should be 6 stacks, which is enough for chaff
It works great with warp charges bc of the CDR
And how how does it work to make it chain massively
It charges like a staff
I admit there's been a couple of times i wished i had smite instead of assail
Sorry I'm too used to play Ogryn/Veteran that I always look for the most Offensive and most killing potential strategy on every class
Mauler + crusher + rager swarm
The problem with that idea with psyker is how paper it tends to be? Tho vet is also kinda paper
Veteran is less punishable
Having both sometimes makes sense
It's not all about relative strength of toughness regeneration - It's also about overall coverage
I like having both ngl
Warp expenditure works when quietitude doesn't
Reduces windows where you can get meleed below full toughness, or where you can get totally shot out
Since the moment something breaches, you really feel it
It's the least important toughness regen node but it's still good
Maybe......
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So Assail is more offensive, Smite is defensive node
The hell is Brain burst purpose then
you only pop 1 single enemy
Single target offense
While assail is spammy
You pick your target and you hurt them a lot more with brain rupture than with assail
When I got my current setup with surge mk4/illisi assail i just need to position right and d5s are pretty easy.
Yes but it's 1 target out of many on Auric missions
If that 1 target is an elite or special though
surge assail illisi is very comfy
What's the charged attack for
Kinetic Resonance at least, enhanced psionics if you are feeling spicy
Pre-charging
Ah
If you hear something coming
can instantly pop a dog/trapper/whatever by precharging BB
1 second longer charge, but you pre charge it
I might need some time until I get used to Psyker I'm just not a big fan of being defensive
Tbf i hate playing vet so i think it's a matter of class playstyle fitting your preference
I just think smite works well with void bc void needs to charge stuff and that's hard when you're cornered and in a pinch?
you can be extremely aggressive as psyker with the right build since you can constantly generate toughness just by existing as a psyker

I saw that
Maybe I need to keep playing more
I'm just feeling frustrated all my grinding was gone by awful rng crafting mechanics
taking all of the +toughness gen nodes in the top of the tree makes you almost unkillable. bringing a sword with deflector and the right staff/gun just seals the deal
I think you also need some decent alternative equips
a lot of missions i play as psyker, i never touch a medicae or medpack unless my team is so bad that they shoot a poxburster in my face or something (or someone picks up a grimoire)
In fairness most of my decent stuff came from mission rewards (this is not a flex, decent being 350-ish with appropriate but low blessings)
i hate everyone that picks up grimoires but especially ogryns that do it
or you die
Until you do and then you're on 30%
i actually kind of love picking up grimoires when i'm on psyker and have somehow gotten one wound corrupted, because consuming the grim will partially uncorrupt that wound, giving some more margin for error
Are Creeping Flames any good
yes
What is the damage tick per stack
the other node for vent isn't even worth taking
And bruisers
Uoh
Creeping flames wil kill all horde, bruisers, and shooter mobs.
Okay I'm conviced
Iirc at 84 peril and up it kills all trash, and can kill some specials too
vent also allows you to smite for >30s in some situations
Idk I mostly use at above 90
83.33333 is the magic number
vent+smite = good time
Why
What's with 83.3
The peril gauge is split into 6 segments as far as creeping Flame is concerned
You just need to be in that top segment
So above 83.3333
at least i got chicken
absolute beauty
Also I heard stamina curios are not +3 if not above 75 is that true
Yes
But why
So
rounding errors
So this curio is truly +3
Interesting
Got another question
Surge says it does not work with Criticals on secondary charged attacks
why on psykhanium works with charged attacks

is that normal
Surge only works on Voidstrike
But void charged as well?
Yeah
It doesn't work on trauma charged
I need to get Warp Nexus asap
No wonder why i see people one shooting bullwarks for no reason with that staff
I thought you were talking about the text about Surge's(the staff) critical bonus not working on secondaries.
But we got to the right destination anyways

I wanted to ask if that was a bug or a text issue
I suppose as you've said it's just a text issue
This conversation is confusing 

Everything about Psyker is confusing to me

Do things, explode, simple as

Funny class indeed
The problem is that running forward in the mission causes more spawns.
So if you're under high pressure, some of which are gunners ahead of you, you end up under even higher pressure but with a teammate alone in front
Stealth builds can support the team amazingly, and give room to clutch a game if stuff does go to shit.
But running ahead is usually a bad option.
Especially running ahead in stealth for a rescue. Just fight up to them as 3 and it's so much safer than splitting the party 2+2 (if you even get the res)
I got it on lights out earlier, that was a fun time
not sure which melee I wanna use
you ever just get a knife zealot that pulls a daemonhost, dies, says "pussies" and leaves?
Twice actually... both times were the same guy in the same day.
On Auric Damnation with randoms
which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
I would say that if it were 2 different people, but it was the same guy both times, and the second time it happened i just opted to block the guy
I recommend a dueling sword with trauma
Dueling sword is a solid psyker weapon all around
high mobility, good head-stab multiplier, good selection of blessings...
Satisfying to use against mutants
It's like if you took the knife and said "you know what, I'm gonna stop running around and just stab you in the face instead"
yeah, seems to be the best fit for the build
especially since I'm using shriek without any upgrades
Kind of a crime, to be honest, the burn from shriek deletes entire hordes
real
That's how I would change it, still gives you fast BB and same amount of toughness, but removes flayer and battle mediation for horde deleting shriek and generating even less peril when you use BB after using shriek
Mettle is a must take for the swirlies
This has potential to be good?
Yes
Yeah, it's not what I would run, just wanted to offer what I think is an improvement while keeping the rest the same
Does knife have higher dodge distance than ds
I just ledgeboosted so far woth the ds ot was funny
think ds5 has the highest dodge distance
knife should have lower sprint cost and speed
is good?
Other than the low quell speed that looks great
have a quell perk
was gift from emperor too didnt have to spend much
only second good gift from emperor ever
The emperor provides
Hence why I'm not using it
Same reason I'm using a gray trauma. Just because I can 
That staff looks perfect. You got the important stuff locked on in.
Absolutely heretical

the smoke staff
Oh, those aren't too hard to roll.
smoke staff lol
