i will say that having both battle med and purloin providence can give you some hilarious results at times

rigid sky
#

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

topaz steppe
#

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

rigid sky
#

Not my style on my voidstrike build but I can see that working well

topaz steppe
#

I’ve been using the Vgak 7 Gun

#

With the gun build

#

Seems fun

rigid sky
topaz steppe
#

Recoil a bit wack

wind spruce
#

Try a columnus infantry autogun

topaz steppe
#

I have one too

#

I enjoy it

wind spruce
#

It's the best gun in the game

cinder moon
#

no, no, go for mk2 laspistol so you can get repetitive strain injury while also deleting everything

rigid sky
#

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

thorn cedar
#

laspistol is the gunker DD weapon imo

wind spruce
rigid sky
#

The trick is, it feels like Illisi is the best companion weapon...

thorn cedar
#

instant draw speed and pinpoint hipfire accuracy

rigid sky
#

But DS4 works better imo

thorn cedar
#

Makes picking out bluebois a breeze

#

and the DD bonuses are hysterical on it

rigid sky
#

Yeah, Accatran laspistol is the other best choice

wind spruce
thorn cedar
#

its just too slow for me

rigid sky
#

I like CIAG more for crowds and bosses I guess

#

Magsize is better for the laspistol too

cosmic sigil
#

I like graia

thorn cedar
#

columnus has better ammo actually

#

you gotta half the number you see on the laspistol

rigid sky
thorn cedar
#

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

rigid sky
#

Plus laspistol has bigger impact per round fired

#

One laspistol mag contains more death than one CIAG mag

hushed egret
#

it isnt though KEKW_ogryn

rigid sky
#

And reloads faster

thorn cedar
#

laspistol reload is so fast

#

and its in three tiers

#

very easy to load up

rigid sky
#

I really want to like it

wind spruce
rigid sky
#

I just hate how it feels

wind spruce
#

Sorry but thinking min height is best for voidstrike is ridiculous

rigid sky
#

I'll try to give it another go another time though

upper sun
#

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this shit is bugged

rigid sky
#

What are the blessings and perks we want on accatran laspistol?

cinder moon
#

infernus, dumdum/ghost

upper sun
#

i asked two people to commit sedduku and and i didnt get it

mental rock
#

Well it says 3 different people

thorn cedar
#

id skip infernus entirely

#

and just do dumdum/ghost

upper sun
#

he just died KEKW_ogryn

mental rock
#

Oh

#

Lol

rigid sky
#

Infernus seems good for bosses?

wind spruce
cinder moon
#

infernus is good for bosses

rigid sky
#

Or is it capped

thorn cedar
#

it has a cap

mental rock
#

Yet another broken penance I guess

wind spruce
#

Second blessing is largely irrelevant except for bosses, yes

thorn cedar
#

its okay for bosses and that's it

rigid sky
#

What's the cap

thorn cedar
#

everything else you're just going to plink at their head while intangible

cinder moon
#

if you take empathic, ghost is kinda redundant

thorn cedar
#

nah, its a safety net

#

sometimes that crit doesnt proc

cinder moon
#

embrace the peril, sibling

thorn cedar
#

and it sucks

#

and emphatic stays relevant in melee and with assail

upper sun
#

i will not stand for EE shit talk

mental rock
wind spruce
#

I'd rather have raking fire than ghost

rigid sky
#

For Psyker I'm a firm believer in the Swiss cheese model of defenses

#

damn 915 plasteel from one match

rigid sky
#

I want as many ways to say "no" to damage

upper sun
#

hell yeah

rigid sky
#

Including different streams of toughness regen

upper sun
#

best way to say no to damage is to not play the game

thorn cedar
#

this has been my build for waaay too long now

cinder moon
#

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

upper sun
#

#

the fan in relay can kill you now

#

cinder moon
#

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

rigid sky
#

You take it if you have a precise ranged killer in your secondary slot imo

cinder moon
#

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

rigid sky
#

It's great with guns

#

Imo voidstrike doesn't really need a blitz, but assail can help for wider enemy formations

mental rock
#

If you're hitting walls with assail stop looking at walls

cinder moon
#

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

rigid sky
#

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

cinder moon
#

until you run out of shards

#

i can just keep casting smite

#

or blow up everything in sight with 3/4 staffs

rigid sky
#

Synergises with weakspot/crit damage stuff like DD

rigid sky
cinder moon
#

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

rigid sky
#

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

willow hazel
#

The right click assail is pretty great at long range

#

usually it's killing stuff faster than BB

rigid sky
cinder moon
#

i don't have a problem quelling, i just think assail objectively sucks

rigid sky
#

It doesn't, it just doesn't gel with how you like to play.

cinder moon
#

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

willow hazel
#

Are you throwing assails while sliding or in between melee combos?

#

How often are you getting 2-3 specialists killed with single right clicks?

cinder moon
#

often

#

except where the shards disappear

willow hazel
#

They last 2.5s

cinder moon
#

low ceiling/rafters/literally any map geo? too bad, so sad

willow hazel
#

you can aim them around that

#

Like you can throw the right click angled at the floor ir wall to deal with tight spaces

cinder moon
#

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

willow hazel
#

It uses the BB halo thing

spice veldt
#

it locks onto enemies that your cursor is over and never locks back onto the same enemy

cinder moon
#

i've watched it literally ignore the halo

willow hazel
#

if you throw a right click and look at a 2nd enemy, it mostly goes straight their

cinder moon
#

the "mostly" is my big problem with it

spice veldt
#

the minor unreliability with the aiming mechanism is also offset by the fact that you have 10 shards

cinder moon
#

BB and smite do exactly what i expect every time

#

except when BB's resonance times out during a cast, that shit sucks

spice veldt
#

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

so just motion sickness

#

cinder moon
#

it's not motion sickness, it was a genuine headache lol

spice veldt

sounds like motion sickness to me

i play a bunch of games with headtracking, if i got motion sick that'd be impossible

#

Assail feels different, I dunno if it's intentional but it feels slower and does less maybe?

spice veldt
#

seems the same to me

lyric burrow
spice veldt
#

doesn't quite follow the mouse
just locks onto enemies that are under your cursor

cinder moon
#

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 whatthefuck_heresy

lyric burrow
#

You can get it to not hit bursters if you look away in time

#

Before it memes you

#

Or kills arco

spice veldt
#

that's a bit rich coming from somebody who makes a point of saying that they don't use the scoreboard

willow hazel
#

you don't really need to move the camera much against hordes

spice veldt
#

and somebody who has a strong opinion about a weapon that they evidently don't know how to use

willow hazel
#

just look at the horde and spam left click

cinder moon
#

i don't need to use the scoreboard to tell i'm carrying my weight

mighty olive
lyric burrow
#

And yeah assail kills hordes,and anything not cara or unyielding for free

jovial juniper
spice veldt
#

i'm certainly not going to operate by sheer vibes

cinder moon
#

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

spice veldt
#

sure i don't doubt that

torn dawn
#

hey so we're talking about double scriers gaze in here right

spice veldt
#

what i do doubt is your ability to make confident statements about balance

wind spruce
spice veldt
#

such as asserting weapons to be objectively bad

upper sun
#

they should go more hard core with the enviromental stuff

#

remove all hanging ledges from places where you wont die

mental rock
#

That could be a fun modifier maybe

willow hazel
#

just add an option like "hold space to fall"

spice veldt
#

like i said, i would hope that your opinion is more quantitatively informed rather than operating on vibes

#

#

Awooooooooga

spice veldt
#

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

spice veldt
lyric burrow
#

The only way to get arcos attention

cinder moon
#

experience? so, a vibe? whatthefuck_heresy

spice veldt
#

i'm not operating on vibes alone

fluid dawn
lyric burrow
#

Those are for sure 2 different things

potent echo
#

what the hell does a heretical totem look like whatthefuck_heresy

#

do they spawn outside the play area or smth

potent echo
#

green poopoo

lyric burrow
#

They kinda spawn in out of the way spots

upper sun
#

LIKE ALL THINGS HERETICAL theyre green

spice veldt
#

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"

mighty olive
spice veldt
#

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

cinder moon
#

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

spice veldt
#

yeah and i already argued against that by saying that you can get reliability by just spamming shards

wind spruce
#

maybe be less bad then

mighty olive
cinder moon
#

a blitz should be reliable

wind spruce
#

you obviously have a skill issue

spice veldt
#

and not being at a low # of shards when you do need reliability

upper sun
spice veldt
#

but it is reliable, because it has such a low time cost and has autoaim

cinder moon
#

i never said anything about running out of shards

spice veldt
#

then i don't see how it would be unreliable

cinder moon
#

i said the shards will fuck off randomly, which they do

spice veldt
#

if you need it to stun a special in a quickie, it can do that reliabiy

wind spruce
cinder moon
#

dumping them into a horde 5m away doesn't really say anything

spice veldt
#

because you would not say that it randomly does it if you knew how it worked

cinder moon
#

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

modern bronze
spice veldt
#

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

cinder moon
#

if there's a low ceiling, those shards are literally gone

#

all for some peril gen and no effect

spice veldt
#

they do not disappear on hitting a wall

Your welcome uwugryn

#

angy, assail bad

spice veldt
#

it's a stupid reference to a streamer i like

lyric burrow
#

I was hoping you had played the game 😭

spice veldt
#

oh wait you've played persona

#

it's a reference to that game yeah

lyric burrow
#

Ah ok

#

Cool

#

You have gained cool points

wind spruce
#

@cinder moon

cinder moon
#

on occasion, but it's happened in cqc

spice veldt
cinder moon
#

if you don't reestablish LOS to any target after a shard hits level geo, it just goes away and does nothing

cinder moon
#

it will also go away and do nothing even within a window of reestablishing LOS

wind spruce
#

For LMB anyway

spice veldt
#

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

cinder moon
#

this happens at 5m

spice veldt
#

there are very obvious boundaries to the aiming mechanism

cinder moon
#

it's not just a long range thing

willow hazel
#

the shards disapear if the hit carapace

spice veldt
#

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

wind spruce
#

Also pls post clip of staff bashing

lyric burrow
#

I also have never had this issue and i have run my fair share of assail

cinder moon
#

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

upper sun
spice veldt
#

probably because they're just getting sent out farther than their lockon range?

cinder moon
#

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

spice veldt
#

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

wind spruce
#

Or aim above enemies and look down

#

Not straight up, like 30-40°

spice veldt
#

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

cinder moon
#

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

spice veldt
#

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

Its not psyker chan if people aren't jumping down one another's throats over an option being bad or not

fluid dawn
spice veldt
#

damn good for those two weapons

potent echo
#

is there only one green poop per mission?

willow hazel
#

none of those shards disapeared

spice veldt
#

i'm glad that they can work through geometry, and that sure it is a shame that assail can not do the same

willow hazel
#

they went behind you

marble crater
spice veldt
#

fortunately, it has other strengths that outweigh its weaknesses

potent echo
#

huh? how do you find 4 OmegaGuardsmanHype im fcken blind?

spice veldt
#

almost like you can't just look at a weapon's weaknesses and call it objectively bad without also considering its strengths

willow hazel
#

google "object permanence"

wind spruce
#

You've proven us right

cinder moon
#

how many of those that went behind me ended up doing something once LOS was reestablished

willow hazel
#

thats beacuse you were not aiming at anything

spice veldt
#

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

wind spruce
#

Absolute clownery

marble crater
willow hazel
#

they wander around if you look at nothing. If you want them to hit enemies you need to look at the enemies

potent echo
#

oh they are outside of the play area

spice veldt
#

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

radiant frigate
spice veldt
#

doesn't make a weapon objectively bad for that

cinder moon
potent echo
#

you dont need to corner peek with assail, thats the idea

willow hazel
#

you can corner peak with the right

marble crater
potent echo
#

you run out and fck up all the shooters in the world

cinder moon
#

this isn't about the corner itself, i already said

spice veldt
cinder moon
#

literally anything getting in the way during a cast can do this

wind spruce
spice veldt
#

this is a very obvious and documented behavior of the shards

cinder moon
wind spruce
#

It's not fucking rocket science man

willow hazel
spice veldt
#

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

cinder moon
#

they go beyond their range lock inside of 2 seconds of bouncing?

spice veldt
#

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

wind spruce
#

And yes they quickly lose their lock-on if you look away from the enemy

spice veldt
#

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

willow hazel
#

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

fluid dawn
#

11 m to at full distance when you dodge behind the pillar also

willow hazel
#

you can also do other stuff while aiming the shards, like reloading your range weapon or quelling

cinder moon
#

so lockon is greater than 2 seconds?

spice veldt
#

unreliability is baked into the behavior of assail, but you make it a much bigger deal than it is

#

what are you even saying

willow hazel
#

the right click lockon is until it hits

cinder moon
#

this isn't about rmb

willow hazel
#

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

spice veldt
#

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)

willow hazel
#

that is how every gun works

cinder moon
#

this isn't a gun

spice veldt
#

yes that's a weakness of assail and a lot of weapons

willow hazel
#

if you shoot a voidstrike into a wall it does nothing either

spice veldt
#

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

willow hazel
#

If I clip a box with my revolver it's useless too

fluid dawn
spice veldt
#

and a shard can hit 2 targets (3 targets with ethereal)

willow hazel
#

Assail actually has some room for correction compared to most weapons because the shards are still useful even if they clip a wall

wind spruce
#

Was arguing staff bash is useful yesterday

cinder moon
spice veldt
#

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

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

wind spruce

Well luckily

You've now been taught how to use it properly

fluid dawn

And we’ve pointed out that your example is half baked

cinder moon

i pointed out that example was not an explicit representation

no thanks

the conversation won't go anywhere anyway

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.

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

Psyker Build. Psyker build by hacky2007 for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

upper sun
#

seriously tho

#

theres kind of a gap between truama/void and purge/surge

cinder moon
#

my smoothest runs are either surge/smite or void/whatever

#

void is bonkers

upper sun
#

my smoothest runs are in the bathroom

upper sun
worthy trellis

worthy trellis
upper sun
#

what he said

plucky flax
#

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.

worthy trellis
#

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

cinder moon
#

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

worthy trellis
upper sun
cinder moon
#

also creeping flames vent so you can surge/smite for longer

worthy trellis
#

Last question, can I easily swap in voidstrike staff and keep the rest once I'm ready to learn that staff?

upper sun
#

pretty much

topaz steppe
#

I love voidstrike it’s my fav

plucky flax
#

My least favourite. whatthefuck_heresy

upper sun
#

i use the same thing for void

worthy trellis
#

I consider the Surge basically like a less risky Void, but I see how much the Void can do when used well

cinder moon
#

hadron just won't give me nexus 4 on trauma, it's been like 100 staffs now

Surge has aim bot.

just upgrade to blue

Very easy to play well.

#

You should spam surge more!

i got ultra lucky with my dueling sword and void rolls though so i guess this is my bad psyker RNG

yup its zapping time

this is my best trauma out of 100+ rolls

upper sun
#

idk if its the charge rate or what

#

but the 373 one feels so much better

cinder moon
#

not sure how relevant blast radius is with void

upper sun
#

not at all

#

inspect one at look at the range

#

i asked the very same thing turns out it has ass scaling

cinder moon
upper sun
#

still bigger than a zarona bullet KEKW_ogryn

cinder moon
#

look at this absolute banger from brunt

upper sun
#

HELL YEAH

patent steeple
#

what does the explosion aim circle look like in actual use if its got 2% radius?

plucky flax
#

Inspect it.

#

Miniscule explosion.

cinder moon
#

i already sold it, just took that one pic for posterity's sake

upper sun
#

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

plucky flax
#

Pen can be offset with uncanny strike also.

patent steeple
#

btw, does Anticipation work now?

vestal fulcrum
#

"now"? Has it not worked before?

patent steeple
vestal fulcrum
#

It never increased "dodge duration"

#

It increases a different stat, but one correlating to dodge

patent steeple
#

ok well would "dodge i-frames" be more accurate?

vestal fulcrum
#

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

spice veldt
#

it hasn't been bugged
it just doesn't do what you'd hope it does

patent steeple
#

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?

vestal fulcrum
vestal fulcrum
patent steeple
#

I mean, idk which would be better for gunker, Empathic Evasion or Anticipation...

vestal fulcrum
#

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

patent steeple
#

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...?

vestal fulcrum
#

Expenditure IMO is even lower than Anticipation in my book KEKW_ogryn

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

upper sun
#

is pc really good on things other than purge and truama?

vestal fulcrum
#

It's free damage

#

Sooo...

upper sun
#

but the range isnt all that great

vestal fulcrum
#

You can also bust groups of small elites as Gunslinger, there's no hiding away from that

vestal fulcrum
upper sun
#

tru

#

but i'm still on the fence id have to play games back to back with and without it

patent steeple
#

but does 3 stacks of Soulfire get to do anything, really?

vestal fulcrum
#

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

plucky flax
#

Always combustion always wildfire.

vestal fulcrum
upper sun
#

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

tawny pebble
#

my purgation flamer zealot friends love torching everything with me

upper sun
vestal fulcrum
tawny pebble
#

well, I also use purgatus staff, being fair

#

wall of fire > spreading stacks

#

what're they gonna do, shoot me?

rigid sky
#

More uptime on regen

vestal fulcrum
#

but does one really need it, is always the big question

upper sun
#

ideally? if you're never in trouble and never have to resort to that for toughness no

vestal fulcrum
#

I often have to wage that with Ogryn's toughness replenishment options, especially since one option was buffed this patch to be actually relevant

upper sun
#

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

rigid sky
upper sun
tidal scaffold
#

i want to make a good smite psyker what build do yall reccomend and tips for using smite?

rigid sky

We die from taking melee hits without toughness at full typically

It combos into creeping Flames so well

vestal fulcrum

#

warp charges or empowered psionics?

Empowered Psionics very good now.

rigid sky

depends on the ranged weapon

fathom totem
#

No it's not. But penance.

rigid sky

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

rigid sky

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

imagine this with an evis

Choosing the weapons in general would be nice, or it just taking the one you have equipped could work as well

lapis violet
#

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

marble crater
#

Maybe if we complain enough it will happen

lapis violet
#

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
