I think it's the usual thing to have a build saved for every staff type and a general guns build that you can swap guns in
I like the assail into gun build using scriers but have also been enjoying the voidstaff and issis sword combo with the lightning and bubbles shield
Idk if that means anything lol
Not my style on my voidstrike build but I can see that working well
We understand you, sibling
Recoil a bit wack
Try a columnus infantry autogun
It's the best gun in the game
no, no, go for mk2 laspistol so you can get repetitive strain injury while also deleting everything
This is a good gun build but consider taking warp replenishment instead of warp speed or the 15 toughness node at the bottom
The trouble with HH guns in particular is the bad maniac damage multiplier
CIAG plays into all of the DD/SG strengths by being rapid fire and having great crit and weakspot stats
Full auto mod
laspistol is the gunker DD weapon imo
When I'm try-harding I actually drop warp speed for another 15 toughness
The trick is, it feels like Illisi is the best companion weapon...
instant draw speed and pinpoint hipfire accuracy
But DS4 works better imo
Yeah, Accatran laspistol is the other best choice
If the columnus wasn't just broken levels of good, yeah, las pistol would be better
its just too slow for me
I like CIAG more for crowds and bosses I guess
Magsize is better for the laspistol too
I like graia
columnus has better ammo actually
you gotta half the number you see on the laspistol
Rapid-fire makes it easier to waste bullets though
trigger control makes all the difference yes
accuracy gets dificult with the bloom on the columnus and you dont have the suppression immunity of the laspistol
still, its about flow for me
Plus laspistol has bigger impact per round fired
One laspistol mag contains more death than one CIAG mag
it isnt though 
And reloads faster
I really want to like it
You're delusional lol
I just hate how it feels
Sorry but thinking min height is best for voidstrike is ridiculous
I'll try to give it another go another time though
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this shit is bugged
What are the blessings and perks we want on accatran laspistol?
infernus, dumdum/ghost
i asked two people to commit sedduku and and i didnt get it
Well it says 3 different people
ye but the first one i didnt ask
he just died 
Infernus seems good for bosses?
Dum dum is mandatory
infernus is good for bosses
Or is it capped
it has a cap
Yet another broken penance I guess
Second blessing is largely irrelevant except for bosses, yes
its okay for bosses and that's it
What's the cap
everything else you're just going to plink at their head while intangible
if you take empathic, ghost is kinda redundant
embrace the peril, sibling
i will not stand for EE shit talk
The blessing says the cap. I think it's 10 stacks at rank 4
I'd rather have raking fire than ghost
For Psyker I'm a firm believer in the Swiss cheese model of defenses
damn 915 plasteel from one match
I want as many ways to say "no" to damage
hell yeah
Including different streams of toughness regen
best way to say no to damage is to not play the game
playing assail for the new penance gave me a headache
i still don't get what people like about it, the shards randomly fuck off and disappear
rmb an elite 25m away, literally nothing happens
yup
does it down you or instakill
important info ngl
Gonna be fun seeing people die to it
isnt it the one where you gotta stop the fan
insta kill
lmaooo
not even until death can save you
that's awesome
Oh wow do you turn into red mist too?
based
they COOKED
what weapon do you use?
deimos and laspistol
i had fun turning the showers on in consignment yard, then i realized there were a couple with graffiti and went "oo a puzzle"
it's too bad i can never remember the names of 90% of the maps, the puzzle guides are less than helpful
It's your spammy option
You take it if you have a precise ranged killer in your secondary slot imo
it even sucks at spam
i can just voidstrike the horde
at this point i'm convinced everyone that likes assail is just exhibiting stockholm syndrome
maybe if shards were unlimited it'd suck less, but you send out 10 and a bunch hit walls or something and do literally nothing but you get the peril anyway
It's great with guns
Imo voidstrike doesn't really need a blitz, but assail can help for wider enemy formations
If you're hitting walls with assail stop looking at walls
the shards do what they want
aiming them is basically just asking nicely
RMB is more consistent but i've still had the shards just disappear when i had clear LOS
BB and smite are consistent, if nothing else
Assail isn't great for long range tbh
It's better for midrange
You have to play around its weaknesses, but the strengths are great
Very flexible and weavable
Safe hordeclear
Automatic DD uptime
until you run out of shards
i can just keep casting smite
or blow up everything in sight with 3/4 staffs
Synergises with weakspot/crit damage stuff like DD
It's meant to be swapped to and from
that would make sense if: safe hordeclear didn't require melee/wasting ammo on hordes to offset its downtime, because if you're swapping to staff you have to quell anyway
So with Void I might nuke a crusher, keep the weeds off me with a few assails, VS blast a rager that comes mixed in with them and a Gunner, back to assail for the next wave or melee to kill them if they actually reach me
Quelling is fine
It's not something to be scared of
The right click assail is pretty great at long range
usually it's killing stuff faster than BB
It's better at least
i don't have a problem quelling, i just think assail objectively sucks
It doesn't, it just doesn't gel with how you like to play.
it took me like 2 minutes to see why DD/void is a good build
5 matches of assail/DD and i still don't get it
Are you throwing assails while sliding or in between melee combos?
How often are you getting 2-3 specialists killed with single right clicks?
They last 2.5s
low ceiling/rafters/literally any map geo? too bad, so sad
you can aim them around that
Like you can throw the right click angled at the floor ir wall to deal with tight spaces
there's zero feedback for where the shard goes when you don't have LOS, i could never tell if it was going to track to an enemy or circle back to whatever i'm looking at
It uses the BB halo thing
it locks onto enemies that your cursor is over and never locks back onto the same enemy
i've watched it literally ignore the halo
if you throw a right click and look at a 2nd enemy, it mostly goes straight their
the "mostly" is my big problem with it
the minor unreliability with the aiming mechanism is also offset by the fact that you have 10 shards
BB and smite do exactly what i expect every time
except when BB's resonance times out during a cast, that shit sucks
throw shards, swipe your mouse wildly side-to-side to make shards lock on, and call it a day
it's fairly simple to exploit how the aiming mechanism works
yeah, that's why i got a headache from using it
beauty
unfortunately this is also the best way to use a lot of melee weapons
doesn't bother me with melee
it's not motion sickness, it was a genuine headache lol
sounds like motion sickness to me
i play a bunch of games with headtracking, if i got motion sick that'd be impossible
I didn't know assail works like that 
Virtual labyrinthitis
Assail feels different, I dunno if it's intentional but it feels slower and does less maybe?
seems the same to me
It will still do its own thing somewhat if you dont move it but yeah follows the mouse
doesn't quite follow the mouse
just locks onto enemies that are under your cursor
maybe assail psykers thinking it's good at hordeclear is because they're swinging their view around so wildly they can't tell their teammates are doing the bulk of the work 
You can get it to not hit bursters if you look away in time
Before it memes you
Or kills arco
that's a bit rich coming from somebody who makes a point of saying that they don't use the scoreboard
you don't really need to move the camera much against hordes
and somebody who has a strong opinion about a weapon that they evidently don't know how to use
just look at the horde and spam left click
i don't need to use the scoreboard to tell i'm carrying my weight
Nah it is really good, I top damage on my games, but since the patch it feels slightly less effective
And yeah assail kills hordes,and anything not cara or unyielding for free
Right!?!
sure, but by how much are you carrying your weight
i'm certainly not going to operate by sheer vibes
i can carry almost any team, except the ones that fail so hard that literally nobody could save them, i.e. pulling DH during a hishock horde with a chaos spawn while being wildly out of position
sure i don't doubt that
hey so we're talking about double scriers gaze in here right
what i do doubt is your ability to make confident statements about balance
man assail is so bad, why even run it?

To capture and share your gaming highlights, download the Outplayed app on Overwolf
such as asserting weapons to be objectively bad
they should go more hard core with the enviromental stuff
remove all hanging ledges from places where you wont die
That could be a fun modifier maybe
just add an option like "hold space to fall"
like i said, i would hope that your opinion is more quantitatively informed rather than operating on vibes
"all weapons are bad except dueling sword 4" - the emperor (real quote)
Like, modifier is "no safety nets" which is no rescues, saves or revives
Could be cool
hell yeah even better
i just tried to do a super hero landing in relay station 😭
ledge wont elt me
literally the deeds from vt2 (would b so epic)
my previous position on assail was "i don't get it", after trying it for a fair amount my position is "it doesn't do consistently what i expect, which is objectively bad"
i actually cant believe how bad it is
https://outplayed.tv/media/rNlzYO
To capture and share your gaming highlights, download the Outplayed app on Overwolf
and this goes against my own experience of it consistently doing what i expect to a high degree of probability, especially if you have 10 shards to spam if you need reliability
Awooooooooga
the only thing that would make sense to me is that you are consistently at a low # of shards when you do need that reliability
which, i will say, is not assail's fault
can you do alcoholic darcy rp for me
The only way to get arcos attention
experience? so, a vibe? 
i'm not operating on vibes alone
Nah you can’t download the scoreboard to tell that your dragging the team down and you know the second you saw the numbers you would uninstall.
Those are for sure 2 different things
what the hell does a heretical totem look like 
do they spawn outside the play area or smth
They kinda glow like grims
they look like green poopoo
green poopoo
They kinda spawn in out of the way spots
LIKE ALL THINGS HERETICAL theyre green
because i have similar stats as my teammates in a premade
and I consistently do the same range of damage with other builds that I would consider "good"
They're like a pile of skulls that glow green like a grim, there's 4 per map and they'll be in places you can see pretty easily, i don't think they spawn in event rooms
my point isn't that you can't base your judgement in part on feelings
but if you don't have any numbers to back it up, it's going to be shaky if you say something is objectively bad
it would be one thing if my entire point was only "it feels bad", but it's not
"it doesn't consistently do what i expect" is different
yeah and i already argued against that by saying that you can get reliability by just spamming shards
maybe be less bad then
If you see them shoot them, most aren't in melee range
a blitz should be reliable
you obviously have a skill issue
and not being at a low # of shards when you do need reliability
usually a good rule of thumb is one is one room after the previous
but it is reliable, because it has such a low time cost and has autoaim
i never said anything about running out of shards
then i don't see how it would be unreliable
i said the shards will fuck off randomly, which they do
if you need it to stun a special in a quickie, it can do that reliabiy
do I need to post a third video of it fucking shredding a thousand elites in 3 seconds
dumping them into a horde 5m away doesn't really say anything
yeah and i've already remarked on that as just you not knowing how the aiming mechanism works
because you would not say that it randomly does it if you knew how it worked
clear LOS, literally nothing in the way, looking straight at my targets, press LMB a few times, watch 2 of them go up and disappear
BWUH
i'm not sure what to say other than that has never been my experience with assail
if my crosshair is on point, then it is locking on them within a certain range
if there's a low ceiling, those shards are literally gone
all for some peril gen and no effect
they do not disappear on hitting a wall
Are you on the right patch my guy. You can report to FS if your game is broken though you probably won’t get an update for 9 months.
great input
great vegetables
Your welcome 
Oh my god arco based?
angy, assail bad
it's a stupid reference to a streamer i like
I was hoping you had played the game 😭
are you at this sort of range
https://outplayed.tv/media/6WjJv3

@cinder moon
on occasion, but it's happened in cqc
as far as i can interpret what you're saying, shards do not disappear on hitting geometry https://streamable.com/do3edn
if you don't reestablish LOS to any target after a shard hits level geo, it just goes away and does nothing
Yes... that's how it works
it will also go away and do nothing even within a window of reestablishing LOS
For LMB anyway
yeah because the shards don't lock on if they're not within a certain distance of the target
it's not like you can dump a bunch of shards in one direction 20m away from a target, look at them, and have them missile onto them
this happens at 5m
there are very obvious boundaries to the aiming mechanism
it's not just a long range thing
the shards disapear if the hit carapace
you'll have to post a clip of it the next time if you do decide to run assail again because that's just counter to my experience
Also pls post clip of staff bashing
I also have never had this issue and i have run my fair share of assail
all you have to do is go into psykhanium, send a few lmbs while standing behind a pillar, and then walk sideways to look at a target 5m away. most of those shards will not track
no thats my thing
probably because they're just getting sent out farther than their lockon range?
this is just an example of level geo or literally anything being in the way for long enough during LMBs to render it useless, not an explicit example of how i played assail
like, just aim at the enemy and fire shards at them?
i don't get this manufactured example that specifically makes use of a fundamental and intentional limitation of assail's locking mechanism
can't believe my weapon has limitations and that it is easily gotten around by initially shooting my shards in the direction of the enemy i want to be hit
relying on shards that were not initially shot out into their direction is just on you
when a see-through fence, box stack, or whatever gets in the way during a dodge for just long enough to make the LMBs go away and be useless, that's annoying
sure, but the game gives you 10 shards to start with, and assail has a minimal active time cost for using it
0.2 seconds for the first shard to be launched and 0.3s for the second
and an unmeasurably small amount of time to swap to it
if you don't like how it plays or to mitigate its occasional unreliability with the fact that the game gives you 10 shards, that's fine
but that doesn't make a weapon objectively bad just because you don't want to use it well
you can just dislike smth you know, it doesn't have to be more than that
Post a clip stop yapping and back it up if you want us to shut up clipping ain’t hard comes with Nvidia total gameplay 1 mission I’ll count how many times it becomes an issue because there’s no way your gonna be complaining about hafting to hit an input a 2nd time surely not.
literally neither of u are gonna convince the other of anything i dont want u guys getting 2 upset does anyone wanna talk about double scriers gaze instead i think its fun
embed fail laugh at this user
Its not psyker chan if people aren't jumping down one another's throats over an option being bad or not
Awesome
meanwhile smite and bb will continue to work through the level geo
replace the pillar with a box stack, see through fence, what have you
So true I mean are we even psyker’s if we don’t
damn good for those two weapons
is there only one green poop per mission?
none of those shards disapeared
i'm glad that they can work through geometry, and that sure it is a shame that assail can not do the same
they went behind you
For the plasteel? 4
fortunately, it has other strengths that outweigh its weaknesses
huh? how do you find 4
im fcken blind?
almost like you can't just look at a weapon's weaknesses and call it objectively bad without also considering its strengths
google "object permanence"
Hahaha they literally lock on when you actually aim at the enemy
You've proven us right
how many of those that went behind me ended up doing something once LOS was reestablished
Was gonna say
thats beacuse you were not aiming at anything
at this point, you've smugly remarked about assail players thinking that it's good at hordeclear because they're swinging their view despite not knowing what your stats in a game are
you've strongly implied that shards disappear on contact with geometry despite it not being true
you've remarked that the behavior of shards not locking onto enemies is random despite the rules being very obvious if you've done any testing in the psykhanium (shards only lock onto enemies that your mouse is over, only shards that are within a certain distance of enemies have the possibility of locking on)
you've remarked that it is unreliable, but you have a numerous amount of shards to spam at any moment of time as well as a minimal active time cost for using it
Absolute clownery
I wouldn't say I find them, I accidentally destroy them with the trauma shockwave
, but there is a counter in the top right corner whenever you destroy one
they wander around if you look at nothing. If you want them to hit enemies you need to look at the enemies
oh they are outside of the play area
and corner peeking is evidently not what you're supposed to do with spamming assail
if you want to corner peek a bunch
there are other weapons for that
no, everything i dislike must be bad!!
doesn't make a weapon objectively bad for that
i'm literally aiming at the enemies, or do you need to be pixel perfect with a spam weapon?
you dont need to corner peek with assail, thats the idea
you can corner peak with the right
No, just hidden, sometimes not so hidden
you run out and fck up all the shooters in the world
this isn't about the corner itself, i already said
are you dense
i've repeatedly remarked on the shards having a range limitation on their lockon
literally anything getting in the way during a cast can do this
You have to be looking at the enemy when the shards strike
this is a very obvious and documented behavior of the shards
11m away is outside of the range?
It's not fucking rocket science man
you were aiming at the pillar. The moment you aimed at the enemy a shard hit it
yes if the shards bounce away
like, if you just throw the shards normally into their direction and have your cursor over them, it reliably locks on
they go beyond their range lock inside of 2 seconds of bouncing?
you realize that 2 seconds is a long time in this context
your timescales are way off if you want to say that as an argument
And yes they quickly lose their lock-on if you look away from the enemy
either way, just throw a shard into an enemy and maintain LoS for some short but reliable amount of time to ensure a lock-on and there you go, you get your reliability
The left click shards don't care about what you are aiming at when thrown, they will move towards your cursor for the whole 2.5s duration. If you look at a wall the whole time they will do nothing
11 m to at full distance when you dodge behind the pillar also
you can also do other stuff while aiming the shards, like reloading your range weapon or quelling
so lockon is greater than 2 seconds?
unreliability is baked into the behavior of assail, but you make it a much bigger deal than it is
what are you even saying
the right click lockon is until it hits
this isn't about rmb
the left click is always trying to lock on your cursor, unless that enemy was the last one hit
for the whole duration it's flying
in the video, you throw shards into the pillar which bounce away to the point that they are too far to bounce
and i'm pretty sure you're getting tricked by when the shard spawns
the shard spawns 0.2s after you click on the first one
and 0.3s for the second
(and repeating)
e.g., for the first shard, this is when it initially spawns
when you're looking at the pillar
thus it doesn't llock onto enemies
(the trail indicating when the shard has spawned is what's highlighted by the red rectangle)
that is how every gun works
this isn't a gun
yes that's a weakness of assail and a lot of weapons
if you shoot a voidstrike into a wall it does nothing either
good thing it has strengths
you are making its weaknesses to be way more than they are and concluding that it is objectively bad based on that
If I clip a box with my revolver it's useless too
Stop rage baiting you 3 wound user
and a shard can hit 2 targets (3 targets with ethereal)
Assail actually has some room for correction compared to most weapons because the shards are still useful even if they clip a wall
Rage bait or dropped on head too often
Was arguing staff bash is useful yesterday
this is my 5th build which has wound curios for the memes, didn't want to unspec my other 4 builds which all have no wound curios
bash is useful but these weaknesses of assail are shrimply too much for them
just post clips of assail exhibiting these behaviors (in a real game and where there was no possibility where your input could have possibly improved the functionality of assail because I don't want to point out very obvious flaws) next time since this isn't going anywhere
Then you should have used 1 of them because there’s no way I’m gonna take you seriously now
ah yes, focus on that
Not enough players so bots are filling up the space.
Valid it probably is your meme build considering how much you dislike assail so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt
i run 3 stam curios on my ds4/void build
interestingly enough i found that i barely use voidstrike in my more recent penance-seeking setups
I will because if I took anything you said seriously I would have wiped 99 times on sedition

sedition is hard ok

Dude you've hoovered up everyones good will
Ogryn popping into the spark 'ead chat to wish everyone a good day or else you're getting an ogryn™️ hug

Of course spark 'ead, you blow heretic brains out good
You know what at least he hasn’t said holding smite is helpful to the team
locking down mixed hordes when your team is struggling isn't helpful, yes
Smite is ok
i think that lobbies will be a lot more freeform/chaotic in the immediate future
ye
ah now that ive been looking i found 2 token
as people play unusual builds for penances
penance builds are making things interesting, for sure
they are usually on some ledge
i feel like they made the game easier for the tons of people that came back on
Impossible, knite likes it
No
i have expressed two opinions that made people in this chat very mad
Yes
but everyone else is clearly right, staff bash has absolutely no use and assail is perfect
staff bash is based
Yes
Siblings, how is the fashiontide looking this update
Two highly questionable opinions that you've followed up with a dozen other questionable opinions and obstinately refused to listen to anyone's logic while constantly moving the goalposts
i never moved the goalposts
more of the same
Did our beloved bless us with the most fashionable garments?
my position has been consistent
though you've said a lot of things that made quite a lot of what you've said just uninformed
and a white+blue for penance junkies
e.g., assail disappearing on geometry and calling its lock-on "random"
That sounds fun.
Looks up what other actions that one could’ve taken to stun the crusher realizes it’s to long on psyker
i certainly don't hold trust in you to make any objective statements about game balance
wrong
nuh uhhhhh
but perhaps something can be done
Same dripless
Hallowette will have something in the next couple of rotations, maybe lol. Only for aquilas..
Misinformation is heretical.
in the words of the savant
drowning.. drowning..
something without tubes??
No you’ve said about 4 things that are just wrong
do your name a credit and be silent, sibling
Alas, we are only allowed to have tubes
Do your name some credit and disappear back to where the sun don't shine
It's important to aggressively discredit misinformation so that players who are looking for advice don't get confused and put off
And incredibly amusing
i never gave my opinion on assail as advice to anyone
yeah no it’s to pay homage to a friend who’s no longer with us but you wouldn’t understand since you have none
No one said you did, maybe re-read the comment
These channels are full of implicit advice as well as explicit
I mean if you say assail is objectively bad that sounds like you are suggesting people not to use it
granted i said at one point it objectively sucks, but i further clarified that what sucks is it not doing what i expect on a consistent basis
And we’ve pointed out that your example is half baked
i pointed out that example was not an explicit representation
You could have just said "I don't like assail" and backed it up the same way, and I wouldn't have had any quarrel
So show us in gameplay it impacting its consistency
I would've still had the same quarrel, because they're not liking it because they don't understand the mechanic
"Objectively bad", though, I'm going to argue and discredit because it's false.
Cool so stop yapping and go back to corner
I don't like combat axes but I get how they work lol
Because you refuse to intake new information
where is this refusal? show me
That's my point, he didn't/doesn't understand how it works
The video standing behind cover expecting it to lock on proved that
"not an explicit representation"
banger
My God this is still going on? >_<
Also you are objectively a bad person for not liking combat axes
such a strong opinion on something to the point of calling it objectively bad and not going to show any footage of it in a proper game
something something good faith
You're not wrong
nuh uhhhhhh
But also it pairs so well with void and idk why
I am objectively a bad person, but not because I dislike combat axes.
and thus i weep
its true he is a bad person @rigid sky stole my dog and fed it chocolate
There are so many reasons
What do I spy with my little eye oh an example, Oh the absurdity.
same but it's because i dislike guns
Good, dogs suck

whiskey tango foxtrot
horrible movie
movie?
if you want them to come at you, there's a mission modifier for that
I'm a cat person but dogs are based
OK Irosk is a worse person than me
Cats rule dogs drool
I am an orc

So that's fine
theres a movie with the woman from 30rock called whiskey tango foxtrot its not great even tho shes usually funny
i see
30 Rock is so mid
OH COME THE FUCK ON
Hahahaha
i have never heard of 30 rock
Ok ok I've only seen an episode or two so I'm not really gonna stand by that
30 rock is nice
Good

I do.
family guy is ||okay||

i will play it and say it's objectively bad and start another argument
so tru so tru its bad
Looking for a bit of advice on survivability on Auric Damnation. Currently running a Mk 4 Force Sword, Surge Staff, 3 x Toughness Curios with extra toughness, sniper damage, toughness regen
Whenever I get even slightly out of position I seem to almost instantly die. Basically feels like without a team to somewhat protect me I die lol. I do decent on my other classes, trying to master this one more.
Running BB, Bubble, Warp Siphon
I've got my full build with exactly what I have (not perfect perks but not bad) https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9bd4962c-fab0-4887-a3db-0930da7785aa/psyker-build-4
my smoothest runs are in the bathroom
i can send you my build for surge if that would help but tbh most of it is movent and positioning
I'd love to at least compare. I blindly took the top part talents, still trying to see which help with survival and which are just pretty numbers but don't do much 🙂
Few suggestion. You have no horde clear with deimos and surge. I'd suggest going illisi with surge. Also surge and bb do the same job but surge just kill faster. Unless you want to take it purely for the bb proc chance then it's fine.
I'd also remove empathic evasion you don't have enough fire rate to proc that often like assail or purga.
I do struggle with horde clear for sure
what he said
You die fast when surrounded because you don't have kinetic deflection. So your guard get broken very quickly.
You can spam push forever though with psyker stam regen delay.
Interesting, I'll change up my melee, swap those talents, and practice pushing more. I rely heavily on dodge and don't push much right now
surge/illisi/smite is the way to go IMO
you can make up for lack of long range by using staff LMB
illisi with deflector will get you out of tight spots where you can't surge or smite
I for sure don't use LMB enough on that staff
also creeping flames vent so you can surge/smite for longer
Last question, can I easily swap in voidstrike staff and keep the rest once I'm ready to learn that staff?
pretty much
I love voidstrike it’s my fav
My least favourite. 
i use the same thing for void
I consider the Surge basically like a less risky Void, but I see how much the Void can do when used well
hadron just won't give me nexus 4 on trauma, it's been like 100 staffs now
i got flurry 4 and nexus 4 in one day for truama

Surge has aim bot.
just upgrade to blue
i got ultra lucky with my dueling sword and void rolls though so i guess this is my bad psyker RNG
brain OFF
surge CHARGED
yup its zapping time
ye took me forever for one good void
the +5 crit on it is crazy good
this is my best trauma out of 100+ rolls
RIP no flak.
brunt also hates giving me any trauma over 350
not sure how relevant blast radius is with void
not at all
inspect one at look at the range
i asked the very same thing turns out it has ass scaling
still bigger than a zarona bullet 
look at this absolute banger from brunt
HELL YEAH
blast radius 2% 
what does the explosion aim circle look like in actual use if its got 2% radius?
i already sold it, just took that one pic for posterity's sake
also might be a hot take pen on ds swords has alright scalling
like 15% off pen give you what -3% on flak and 1% off carap
Pen can be offset with uncanny strike also.
btw, does Anticipation work now?
I meant the part of it that increases dodge duration...
It never increased "dodge duration"
It increases a different stat, but one correlating to dodge
ok well would "dodge i-frames" be more accurate?
This is what it does
It effectively makes it so you are harder to track after dodging, by melee-based enemies (the grace period is longer)
And it gives you an extra effective dodge, of course
it hasn't been bugged
it just doesn't do what you'd hope it does
so if I take it on a gunker build where my DS4 has only 4 dodges, then I could survive better if I ned up in melee?
As many other things in this game 
Well that's still a "maybe", but in theory, still maybe yes
I mean, idk which would be better for gunker, Empathic Evasion or Anticipation...
It's not the most valuable skill point of all time, but if you feel like you can make good use out of the extra dodge or you want to have a slightly longer melee-tracking grace period, then go for it
Definitely Emphatic Evasion
It has more relevant use cases on Gunker
I mean, I could grab both Empathic and Anticipation, but then I cannot get Warp Expenditure or Combustion...
Expenditure for better toughness regen during Gaze, or Combustion for... ummm... probably getting soulblaze on DD targets in mixed hordes...?
Expenditure IMO is even lower than Anticipation in my book 
It's not a good toughness replenishment talent overall, the conversion ratio is just bad.
Perilous Combust is solid, though, it's a lot of extra "burst" damage in an AoE for just doing the things you should be doing
is pc really good on things other than purge and truama?
but the range isnt all that great
You can also bust groups of small elites as Gunslinger, there's no hiding away from that
Yeah, but elite groups are typically tightly packed up and/or have some small enemies near them
but does 3 stacks of Soulfire get to do anything, really?
Well, they sometimes are, but my point is that whenever they are, you can pop a couple of elites and launch a chain reaction of the rest burning to their deaths
No, but kill 3 tightly packed elites/specials and sing along to Disco Inferno
idk i feel like if 3 soulblaze stacks are the difference between killing something and not then usually my team will fire a potshot or two towards whatever is causing the issue
my purgation flamer zealot friends love torching everything with me
blind leading the blind smh
It might not matter always, but it's a valid observation
well, I also use purgatus staff, being fair
wall of fire > spreading stacks
what're they gonna do, shoot me?
I think it's better than it looks
More uptime on regen
but does one really need it, is always the big question
ideally? if you're never in trouble and never have to resort to that for toughness no
I often have to wage that with Ogryn's toughness replenishment options, especially since one option was buffed this patch to be actually relevant
but i was in a couple of situations where it would have helped though simply being better would have resulted in me not needing it
It's another layer for the Swiss cheese protection model
i think ur just hungry man
i want to make a good smite psyker what build do yall reccomend and tips for using smite?
We die from taking melee hits without toughness at full typically
switch to your main weapon and only use it in emergencies
So more periods of time where we are generating toughness are better
Definitely take Venting shriek
It combos into creeping Flames so well
It's fine, I just don't feel like I need it most of the time. Soulstealer and Quietude are typically more than enough
warp charges or empowered psionics?
Empowered Psionics very good now.
Yeah, it is the least necessary one of all of them
depends on the ranged weapon
Mettle too btw
Just swapped over from warp charges.
EP smite is still not great for damage

I would probably take warp charges still tbh
And try to focus on spamming more creeping flames
smite has two modes team pls help >.< and THANK ME PEASNETS
whats that like 6 more damage per tick?
Burn down a whole pack of elites.
If you have to do it alone. The spread is good. :p
Smite isn't there to be your damage source imo
yeah
But idk, maybe it can be now
No it's not. But penance.
I feel like getting more shrieks per minute matters more
like ok to be fair even if you're smite only you can still help out the team
Idk what the penances even are, haven't had the chance to play yet
but you know what also helps? a weapon
I will never forgive real asian robot for the smite psyker meta
EP elite kills.
so does a bullet
It's going to take forever if you going to use BB.
Kill enemies with barrels 
You would be surprised
a staff kills them faster than either bb or smite
bb is mostly used to support purge now imo
My top build is an EP brain rupture bubble trauma psyker
Toke me 4 games to do 250 elites with EP on smite.
Should include fire ones
I often end up being our primary ranged elite/special killer
That's in auric though.
Me too lmao
tell me honest to god you wouldnt still do the same thing with any other build
I’ve been running surge and smite and loving it
Hey guys, which group is best to get help with psyker penances?
Also for the endeavours I’m susprised there’s not one for auric maelstrom
Tips for completing them? Here
Not on my purgatus build
what is the deal with people not following the servo skull in the phage tree mission
Just ask in the vox channels or here. There should be people that are willing to lend a hand.
More like ask for people to join for malleus monstronum
like guys its not THAT hard to follow the shiny skull
you can try #vox-lfg-lexicanum or asking in #general-chat
The vox lfg channels then
Alright thanks!
🤔 yeah the hoard clear weapon
Yeah but I'm talking about brain rupture use
shit i gotta go
brain burst can be fun when your sniping specials from across the map without even thinking about it
also i kinda forgot what my point was in the first place
If I have purgatus I find it's better to stay purging as much as you can
Me trying to do any movement objective based with randoms and they don’t follow the skull
turns out they gave psykers the blicky this patch
we've got the strap
they finally gave sienna a glock...
apparently its people annoyed, yeah
theyve said the crafting rework comes after the penance stuff
and people are mad it isnt crafting
i hate to say it tho, still feels like "unfinshined" stuff that the game shoulda had at 1.0 to me lol
that too for sure
i was also dissapointed when i heard no crafting
So does EP smite kill poxwalker hordes any faster now
People cannot read
They dont get what they want
And they get mad
Then they get what they want and get mad anyway
Vet also got nerfed and we all know how vets are
I think it's partly Veterans mad about surv aura
people oftentimes give themselves false expectations of what an update will include
pox gas and the tox bomber are both cool updates that add more consistent gameplay changes than something like a new map
xD how was he nerfed
but new maps and weapons are also in the works
Melodramatic little bitches
Survivalist got a CD
vet discord must be so mad
5 seconds between procs praise the LORD
Not really tbh lol
what is pox gas
Most of the ones on here are like "sweet, I get to path on the right now"
They needed to nerf plasma and shout :/
always could, is just they influenced by meta / peer pressure i feel
pee shout, pee sword
True tbh
like i wanted to run the right hand side one and some guy was just absolutely going wild on me
for not taking surv
I had one build without it already
There is a lot of things that could be nerfed but surv was a big one, however its unlikely that you will get big weapon changes till crafting cause people will freak out
Entitled shitheads
Suppose you weren't on a vet at all
the channel?
I go in and had a bad experience until path replied me
same general principle as the gas in the twins fight
Less punishing
its bugged rn so it doesnt really work
tox flamer throw that?
or how it spawn
I thought it worked too well
but its cool
tox bomber*
there's a condition for it and tox bombers also throw it
lol
Was the issue
I mean if you weren't a vet at all they wouldn't expect the aura from you
It is neat though
i wasn't a vet main but they still told me to pick it when i first started making the build
let me screen shot, will censor
It's mostly a "if you can take it, take it"
he keep say same thing for like 5 messages
ppl relying on survivalist are cowards
i am unashamed to vacuum the ammo
i will use it better than you. i need to magdump this wall because of a revelation i had in a dream
right before that screen shot i said this
i never had team thirsty for ammo unless there was like two ogryns spamming rumbler, no surv and no staff psyker
people not looting at all getting outed this patch
wat u mean
cuz you wouldn't be running out of ammo if you loot
oh
Average columbus psyker.
theoretically ~1000% ammo pickups on the map and 2 ammo crates
Just spam that op gun against anything and everything and steal all ammo.
1000%?
no way

(i do this with laspistol)
i've only seen up to ~810% so far
oh wait it was 850% #psyker-class message
Look at me I carried the game
19 small ammo 12 big ammo 5 ammo crate pickup
Simply use assail + gun and you will never need ammo
so sad that gun psyker has no way of mitigating ammo usage
guns on non-vet classes DEAD
i don't knwo for how much ammo there is on the map just thru experience its so weird that guy so insistent on surv like it make the game 10x more fun and im dissapointing whatever religion i believe in
Why swap to blitz when you can just hold left click with laser beam rifle.
fun is directly tied to how many shots you fired
don't you know
the less bullets = the less fun
good riddance
i take shotgun never run out of ammo before
don't know what he smoking
After dealing with old dogs and hunting grounds and mission map this is where i draw the line
Based columbus psyker. Least plasteels but most ammo pickup.
i miss the oxygen that has been consumed by you
So how does this work now with 25s cooldown
i think irosk test it and ya it overlaps now
You dont deserve it
Soo the ability starts re genning as soon as you click F
nuh uh
Wrong animal
no
Time to go shave my legs. 
do not, i repeat, do not use DD+bubble+surge+dueling4
worst build of my entire carreer
What did you use for hordes?
i do not really consider that a nerf personally
Plasma vet will now hoover up all the ammo.
assail 
bb wouldn't have resulted in me killing myself 3 times
on the flipside, you can run other auras and not feel like you are completely inting

- no more dog-shaped ammo deliveries on hunting grounds
lmb smite-ahh pose
New poses were a nice addition
yes. the ones we had were really not great
Speed aura buff to 10 or 12% would be nice.

Need to grind penances now for the psyker pose I want 
psyker had "anxiety", "the thinker" and "schizophrenia"
Pretty fitting descriptions
Can't win them all
this would have been such a nice pose if you could choose the melee
imagine this with an evis
or an hsword
Choosing the weapons in general would be nice, or it just taking the one you have equipped could work as well
basically what i meant
for veteran i get the lasgun because literally all regiments use them but for zealots?
knife, hsword, eviscerator, HAMMER, DCLAW would all work wonders
a chainsword is a space marine thing for me
that or a guardsman captain
Maybe if we complain enough it will happen
there's more complaints that i have
for example that some mission final objectives (or just stationary "wait for this thing to happen while you kill enemies") desperately need the chance for daemonhosts to exist or for monstrosities to appear
like, imagine you're doing the repair mission with the cryonic rods, right? the loading section would be great if one stairway was blocked by a DH and you had to be careful
or a chaos spawn running at you while a teammate's sweating with the auspex code
more come to mind but i've had this thought for a while
would even bump up the difficulty for super-advanced teammates or super good players
boss spawn at the end of consignment yard is fun
yes! more missions need this
Spawn a monster at hab dreyko end event. 

wait
you mean the escape right? 
what's hab dreyko end?
boss at the tree would suck for real
boss chasing you for extract would be cool though
What boss/monster would that have to be, to make it extra cool?
a beast of nurgle, obv
chaos spawn or scab captain
Was going to say Greater Deamon of Nurgle
slug puppy would be fine at the tree
nah, plague ogryn charging you and pinging you off the edge
with 4 snipers making it a laser corridor
The new end event is really hard without stealth.
for hab dreyko?
So many specials and elites spawn. And the area is much smaller so less kiting.
Aye hab dreyko.
they made it smaller?
smite unironically great for that
anybody shitting on smite hasn't been picked up while a psyker was smiting
most people still like to meme about "muh smytker smiting 2 poxwalkers"
