psyker-class

[fluid aspen]

Looks fine to me until you get a perfect roll

Check it in Psykhanium to see if you are close to any breakpoints for 1shots

[late sapphire]

run dd instead!

[radiant frigate]

warp charges are cringe

[late sapphire]

24% damage or 25% damage + 50% weakspot damage + 50% crit damage

your choice

Jk i prefer the 15 stacks variant. Either way, it lets you onetap muties with room to spare

[fluid aspen]

Yeah 15 stacks 10s is way better for sure

[radiant frigate]

15 stacks more gooder because if you are ever below 15 stacks with the other one you're wasting a talent

[fluid aspen]

Yea keeping it above 15 stacks with 4s timer is a pain

[plucky flax]

Most melee kills against 3 ogryns with rampage ds4.

40 kills under gazer

[fluid aspen]

I did it with Purg but under similar conditions

[sudden valve]

What would you guys say is the most efficient blitz to use with bubble shield for Auric Maelstrom?

[fluid aspen]

Depends more on the rest of your loadout. Your weapons, keystones

Though you shouldn't run Smite with bubble, as it results in very lackluster damage

[plucky flax]

I'd use assail with bubble.

[fluid skiff]

is there some sort of visual bug with Warp Siphon and some other perks? it isn't showing my warp charge amount in missions. I'll have the vfx of having warp charges but no count on the effect bar

[fluid aspen]

Not sure about Warp Siphon, I've had a bug with Disrupt Destiny where I get capped at 5 stacks and the marks stop showing up

[radiant frigate]

is that why people like columbus

[late sapphire]

Yes currently all sorts of status effects fail to show up from time to time

I've had it happen with warp charges, dd stacks, momentum stacks and fury activation so far

[junior oracle]

Is Gun-Psyker worth effort when compared to his other abilities?

[late sapphire]

gun psyker is very sexy with scriers gaze

see the video a lil bit above

[fluid aspen]

Just play something else at that point IMO

[fluid skiff]

Gunker is one of the better builds tbh, I just don't have the inclination or skill to utilize it

[fluid aspen]

Psyker is so unique, why waste all that on using the same guns as everyone else

[late sapphire]

Though i play it more as a sword psyker when i do

[fluid skiff]

plus I like staves

[late sapphire]

ds4 is just so good

[radiant frigate]

sword psyker :)

perhaps greatsword psyker soon

[late sapphire]

Give me zealot dueling sword i will go directly to the warp to poke grandpa nurgle to death

[fluid aspen]

Vet needs dueling swords

[radiant frigate]

imagine power sword on zealot

[sudden valve]

I’ve got a trauma staff and MV blaze sword for hoard clearing, Trama staff deals with big specials like bosses and crushers

Im using bubble and assail right now, and trying to figure out if warp charges or empowered psyonics is better for it

[fluid aspen]

Assail will get you better horde clear, Brain Rupture will help you snipe high priority targets from farther than Trauma will let you

[sudden valve]

I’d run brain rupture but I die faster than I’d like with it

[late sapphire]

bb is too slow to really do much, you have to pre-charge it

[fluid aspen]

If you run Assail, Disrupt Destiny can work

[upper galleon]

It is just ammo hungry but extremely poweful. Need a survivalist vet or a team of 3 other psykers who arent using guns lmao

[plucky flax]

I actually prefer laspistol 2.

Columbus is too op.

[upper galleon]

But your damage peak is comparable to vets with guns

[plucky flax]

Only played that round for the stupid penance.

[upper galleon]

BB just has to invest in as much charge speed as possible it is insane

[sudden valve]

I didn’t know you could pre charge it

[late sapphire]

i think i got my 40 kills in sg penance by pushing a burster into a horde

[late sapphire]

right click pre-charges, then you left click to lock on and charge as normal

pre-charge is less efficient because it keeps costing you even at full charge

but with ep for example you can just hold it for free & wait for a dog or whatever to show up

[sudden valve]

Oh I see

That makes more sense

[radiant frigate]

idk i just pressed f and m1 with illisi when i saw a sufficiently sizable poxwalker horde

[late sapphire]

It's only really useful if your can hear a target outside of LoS and expect it to show up soon or if your vet thinks the blue bb glow makes for a nice targeting mark

[sudden valve]

Run out of pings? No worries. Brain Burst glow has you covered!!

[queen fog]

I have been told BB effect does help my teammates land headshots so this is true

[sudden valve]

Fatshark probably put in a mechanic that makes it easier to aim to the bb color

[untold niche]

if you think about it, you have a on command no CD targetting skill

and since most pub vets run pee gun

its garunteed death

[queen fog]

Slap on EP and you won’t have to worry bout peril anymore, inf BB pings

[sudden valve]

If you ever get an elite to BB for your keystone that is

[late sapphire]

I've had a vet tell me he doesn't like the EP BB because it means he has to hustle to land the shot

[sudden valve]

The one time I used it I had 0 elite kills

[queen fog]

I use the gambling modifier instead

I see the copious amount of hordes as free percents but i see the merit in on command EP from snagging a specific kill

[late sapphire]

ep on elite is neat because you can delete gunner/shotgunner groups

And with a bit more creativity you can do the same to mauler groups

[tall mango]

this worth upgrading? or keep looking

found another one but, i dont think this is salvagable

[plucky flax]

Bruh I played 1 round and only got 22k. This will take so long I want to go back to creeping flames.

[marble crater]

Are you using warp charges to spam more shields?

[plucky flax]

Actually no I am playing ep assail for another penance at the same time.

I'm doing the ep, bubble, and kinetic presence penance.

DD one is nearly there, then I'm finished 60/60 with psyker.

[late sapphire]

Same it took sooooo long

kinetic presence took long too

almost as bad as the zealot flame nade penance

[plucky flax]

I blew up once last round because I had bubble instead of creeping flames.

Aye I hate using kinetic presence.

Worst aura ever.

Thankfully teammates kills also count.

[late sapphire]

horde hounds count too

[junior oracle]

Wait does psyker have any special guns?

[late sapphire]

No

[junior oracle]

L

[plucky flax]

Oooh good one I need to play muties and houns train maps.

But tomorrow. Me tired bedge time.

[hushed egret]

not sure who I was talking with yesterday who was saying Voidstrike is best as a tall character. just gave it another go and it feels the same as on short

[junior oracle]

Is there a height meta??

[upper galleon]

Not really

Some weapons on zealots like you being taller to hit the overhead weakspot swings

[late sapphire]

Smaller characters = smaller hitbox

Think about it

[junior oracle]

I didn't think that would effect bots

PvP I understand

[upper galleon]

Since attacks track you, it doesnt do anything

[late sapphire]

Shh

Makes it easier to hide behind cover

[empty granite]

its called ogryn

[lyric burrow]

Yeah this one took me the longest of all the psyker penances

[plucky flax]

Grinding these stupid penances are killing me. I think I'll only 100% on psyker. I cba about the other 3 classes.

[lyric burrow]

Ill probably try it for zealot

Not sure about vet

Def not ogryn

[late sapphire]

I did psyker, i'm almost done with zealot

[plucky flax]

I'll do the shout vet armour.

That one takes quite long too.

[late sapphire]

Make sure you get started on fire nades penance early

2000 kills

[plucky flax]

But shout is op so it'll just be there.

[late sapphire]

The corruption regen aura one is broken~ish

[lyric burrow]

Yeah your not gimping yourself with shout or anything

[late sapphire]

You have to regen 5000 corruption which is insane if it was actual regen but it also ticks on wounds so you just take 1 wound and it completes itself

[plucky flax]

Smart that.

I think FartShart will lower requirements on some of these.

Like they did with every other penances.

RIP my 1million kills frame.

[late sapphire]

I convinced my team to kill a deamonhost because i 'just dont like em' which got me another two wounds to tick the penance on

[plucky flax]

If I have to guess I'd probably have about 1.5m kills total by now.

[fluid aspen]

Do you guys think 5% Crit from Prescience is worth taking over Seer's Presence + One with the Warp for the toughness damage reduction, in an Assail crit build?
I started playing some more Auric Damnation missions and I'm finding that I can't sit around comfortably killing stuff anymore with all the insane modifiers, and one hit knocks off my toughness and a good chunk of health so I'm going down more than I'd like

[plucky flax]

No imo. I always take cdr aura.

Also with assail you should get free crit anyway from tru aim.

[fluid aspen]

Yeah

I'll give this change a shot tomorrow, One with the Warp seems to be really strong on paper based on how little toughness dmg reduction there is in the psyker tree

[radiant frigate]

not so

just setting things on fire

like smoke penance

[late sapphire]

I guess? It's hard to tell with how delayed the tick is

Either way, no nade regen unlike vet so it takes a bit of time

[plucky flax]

Too bad I don't use fire nade. So I am forced to play weird build.

[fluid aspen]

Tell me about it, I went a whole mission throwing my fire nades early and not finding any restocks until a bit before the finale

Everyone just kept hoovering them up

[late sapphire]

Cmon run faster zealot

[radiant frigate]

my least favorite thing is when vets slurp up grenade refills

as if they didn't have that passively

[plucky flax]

Need more smoke

[late sapphire]

That's what the game has a voice chat for

[fluid aspen]

I was busy chopping heads in the thick of it and by the time the fight was over all the nades were gone

[late sapphire]

Incoherent screaming

[fluid aspen]

Yet another Psyker W, don't have to rely on teammates not taking ammo and nades

[plucky flax]

Best class.

Just press f and win.

[late sapphire]

And then the vet refuses to pick up the extra medicrate

[plucky flax]

Oh wait that's shout vet

[fluid aspen]

Reminds me how weird it feels having an ammo crate as a staff psyker
Like cool, let me know when you guys need this

[late sapphire]

You can almost always toss it to one of em

[fluid aspen]

I only discovered it today that you can hand it to someone else like you can do with stims

[late sapphire]

I can hear this image

[radiant frigate]

Real

[fluid skiff]

Decided to equip an actual cohesive soul blaze/crit build with scrier's, purg staff and Warp siphon, suddenly I'm flying through damnation with relative ease. Could there be some correlation 🤔 ?

[radiant frigate]

Yes

[fluid aspen]

Welcome to the Warpfire club

[radiant frigate]

psyker is very build dependent

[plucky flax]

I don't understand gazer purga

[radiant frigate]

it's like you want less soulblaze or something

shriek stays winning

[fluid aspen]

Crit on Purg applies +1 Soulblaze stack

+20% crit from Scrier means you can proc a lot of extra stacks

[upper galleon]

Soulblaze from purge caps at 16

[fluid aspen]

Or you can stack one target very quickly

[upper galleon]

25% damage perk to an important armor type is always better than crit chance perk, you just go nexus blessing and crit on tree cause it’s the best available options especially with avoiding range fire

[radiant frigate]

yes but i am pretty sure "screw everything in this general direction" wins out

[patent steeple]

I don't understand why some gunkers run anything other than Gaze...

like, do they want to have more horde control by running both Smite and Shriek or something...?

[upper galleon]

25% damage to flak, maniac, unyielding or even unarmored

[lethal lagoon]

Scrier's on purg just means you'll kill things slighty faster that don't need to be killed slighty faster, in exchange for like 10x more micro manging and peril risks and losing flaming shriek

It's a meme

[late sapphire]

I like shriek because it's an all purpose tool

[fluid aspen]

Scrier + Empathic Evasion tho

[late sapphire]

Ogryn got dogged again? It's ok, just yell through 3 walls and the dog falls over

Vet about to be mulched by a random crusher event? Just yell, and it stops in place

[fluid aspen]

I'm already melting everything in that generic direction, might as well stay alive doing it

[upper galleon]

I like shriek cause i played since beta and im so addicted to edging my perils i cant use anything else

[late sapphire]

etc

[radiant frigate]

maybe the gun isn't the main course

[upper galleon]

With nexus and the crit chance in talent tree, you already crit enough for empathetic evasion

[radiant frigate]

maybe the rest of the kit has other niches covered and they thought "fuck it, may aswell bring this for boss damage"

[lethal lagoon]

Purg already has full uptime for EE

If that's what you are talking about

[radiant frigate]

i also do not believe in EE

[upper galleon]

Scriers would be good if overcapping stacks did anything

[upper galleon]

Why it just uses a stupid codeword that is used for an entirely different mechanic

[lethal lagoon]

Purg without EE is just silly, but generally I don't see a need for it.

[upper galleon]

It doesnt make you automatically dodge as it just makes ranged enemies miss you

[radiant frigate]

that's.. what it does

you are considered to be dodging

ergo, you are not being hit

[fluid aspen]

I need to change my Purg build to run Seer's Presence over Prescience as well

[upper galleon]

Good for facing packs of spread out trash shooters

[lethal lagoon]

No, ranged mobs will trigger dodge bonuses on EE, gunners don't.

[supple sedge]

Sparkheads. You take tech priest in-sense?

[patent steeple]

what is EE-

oh wait, I get it. its Empathic Evasion. wow I sure am feeling incomparably smart right now...

[upper galleon]

When people think of dodge, they think of the movement of double tapping. Same thing with swift certainty on zealot. An alternative keyword would clear up misconceptions and confusion

And it is right there, evasion

[radiant frigate]

it's the sound you hear when you get flashbanged

[fluid aspen]

Scrier has also helped me when I was running Dueling Mk4 on my Purg build because it gives me a bunch of crit for the facestabs and my warp rising for Warp Rider

[upper galleon]

Give SC, EE, hit and run a fixed keyword for their mechanic

[radiant frigate]

no way, did i just have my people license revoked?

i never thought this would happen

💀

[upper galleon]

No? Im talking about the misconceptions other people make stop being dramatic

[radiant frigate]

'twas in jest

you are free to relax

[upper galleon]

It’s an issue in zealot chat and I know its been an issue with EE here where it constantly has to be explained

[fluid aspen]

TWBS?

[upper galleon]

Your honor i was only pretending

[radiant frigate]

more like swift certainty

[upper galleon]

No, swift certainty

[fluid aspen]

Ah I don't know that one

Just hit 30 with my Zealot

[radiant frigate]

it says "always considered dodging when sprinting even when out of stamina"

[fluid aspen]

Oh right that one

[radiant frigate]

(vs ranged)

[fluid aspen]

Yea

[radiant frigate]

i was not aware that this is a court of law

[upper galleon]

Tldr all characters will avoid gunfire when sprinting at an angle as long as they have stam, swift certainty makes it work even at 0 stam

[upper galleon]

Saul goodman when paul badman walks into court

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-walter-crying-walter-dying-gif-20964719

[fluid aspen]

badwoman*

[upper galleon]

Shit u right

Anyways, swift certainty has been a manner of annoyance for zealot chat, from people who think they will be forced to dodge mid sprint or thinking it should let them sprint dead on into gunners, or how it works with “on dodge” effects

[radiant frigate]

either it has been a long time since people played the tutorial or they did not pay attention

[fluid aspen]

Both

[upper galleon]

And i personally believe if they named the mechanic evasion )or any other name) to differentiate it from dodge, which is it’s own thing, this would clear up 90% of the misconceptions

[supple sedge]

Sparkhead what you think of Ogryn charging throught horde to save you? Ulgo think "thanks pal" what you think?

[radiant frigate]

i think "this is something of a surprise"

[supple sedge]

[tall mango]

Id say thank you sweet brute

hell yeah

just two more to go

this has taken so many matches

[marble crater]

1/3 done with the shield

[sudden valve]

Damnit Hadron

[marble crater]

The crafting update is her getting replaced by Kayex, that's it, that's the update

[sudden valve]

Watch Kayex give worse rolls

[lethal lagoon]

TBF, Trauma kinda needs that 80% blast radius

Hadron was saving you

[marble crater]

Ah yes, thank the Omnissiah for saving him from that small radius

[crimson kiln]

Thoughts?

[marble crater]

Flurry instead of Transfer Peril and Flak instead of critical damage and you will have a decent trauma

[clear heath]

hey, why does this hood make me bald?

[crimson kiln]

Awesome thanks, first time actually trying out Trauma lol

[clear heath]

the other hoods have the exact same model and dont make me bald

fatshark pls fix

[marble crater]

Because it's fatshark

[crimson kiln]

I'm blessing farming Trauma's and I've gotten Run n Gun three times in a row -_-

[marble crater]

Hadron likes to run n gun

Our hopes and dreams that is

[ornate hamlet]

I cann't tell you how clutch this in when you box yourself a corner from enemy fire (two shields) and start brain busting everything.

[crimson kiln]

Also a bunch of Sustained Fire and Terrifying Barrage -_-

With my last bit of plasteel I finally got FLurry

So annoying that the staffs don't share blessings

[marble crater]

Yeah...

[lethal lagoon]

Trauma is just dumb when it's blaze, flurry rending is kinda mid.

Unfortunately it's a pretty demanding weapon to roll

[ornate hamlet]

Hello what build is best to level from 18 to 30 if I’m just coming back to the game.

[marble crater]

Assail and venting shriek should be good to level

[lethal lagoon]

Columnus mk5 with assial + dueling sword mk4

Staves are ass until meta stats

[marble crater]

Not an illisi instead, while leveling at least? Saver for hordes

[lethal lagoon]

Oh, that makes more sense, I was thinking people at that lvl tend to be weak to crushers

But crushers kinda rare till aurics

That's typically what I use to level though

And I've leveled quit a few psykers

Sometimes las pistols

Just definitely not staves

Really, Assial should cover the type of hordes you get at lower diffs

[cosmic sigil]

Yes. Well the problem is getting 2 or 3 hits in melee to kill it while evading the 2 or 3 other crushers.

And not dodging into an asset or a wall

Usually I gun them down. Faster. Safer.

[lethal lagoon]

Run a scrier's D4 build next time melee maelstrom is up

Pokey poke practice

[marble crater]

Speaking of, which is the easiest maelstrom, to get used to it, asking for a friend

[lethal lagoon]

Melee is just a hecking good time

[upper galleon]

Doesnt d4 have a silly breakpoint for crushers you can hit

Like 2 headshot crits i dont remember

[lethal lagoon]

What class are they?

[marble crater]

Psyker

[lethal lagoon]

Oh yeah, just run surge staff on melee maelstrom

[marble crater]

He also has a blaze trauma

[lethal lagoon]

That works too

But I mean if he has meta weapons, just go it into I'd say

[marble crater]

He did earlier, 50% of the mission went really well and then people kept getting downed one after the other, still finished though

[ornate hamlet]

That’s what I was running when I stopped playing like 6 months ago. Shooting the shards and the pistol with sword

[cosmic sigil]

Probably I was using my illisi tho. Illisi + assail + infernus laspistol. I could down 2 crushers but well

Trying SG + charges

[obtuse dragon]

is this worth upgrading?

[upper galleon]

Burn low

You want 76% for the final breakpoint

Id take warp flurry off it tho if you dont have t4 already

[obtuse dragon]

ok ty

[queen trout]

for in fire reborn is it when i kill something that has soul stacks or anyone? i remember someone saying the description was misleading for some reason

[frail pasture]

Whats the name for the cosmetic that makes the psyker sound all robotic and demonic

[queen trout]

probably this one

[frail pasture]

Oh neat I have it

Yay

[obtuse dragon]

put uncanny strike on it and change melee specialist dmg to carapace or melee critical hit chance?

[queen trout]

carapace

[obtuse dragon]

is this close to a god roll?

[queen trout]

is very good, probably cant 1 shot mutants but thats really niche anyway

[obtuse dragon]

nice, ty dude

[near drift]

I keep blowing myself up with bubble and trying to trauma staff at high peril, profound skill issue

once or twice a mission at this point

[queen fog]

Practice makes perfect sibling, can’t ration your peril effectively all the time

[near drift]

Working the loadout in maelstroms gives me a lot more respect for the people going full peril edging with no vent failsafe

[queen trout]

i quell all the time, after almost every secondary attack, can quell while sliding so you can quell on the move. dont have to try to sit near max peril all the time its not worth the risk

[tribal girder]

quell canceling is a thing. so quelling after every attack is not even that low dps

[frail spear]

i hate to just come in here and ask without looking but i figure this is my best resource: does anyone have a solid brain burst build for psykers these days? i know smite and assail are maybe better in the endgame but i'm just trying to farm penances

[tribal girder]

there is one with trauma staff actually

with shriek and EP bb

i ve seen a guy play it and did top damage, mostly spamming BB while powered up, having .6 sec charge time on bb and chain killing elites

it works best in melee only maelstrom

[frail spear]

that sounds wild. do you maybe have a link to a video or build i could follow?

[tribal girder]

i dont have a vid, i know what the build should look like tho

[opaque pulsar]

Losing my mind trying to get Perilous Focus (Get 40 kills using one Scrier's Gaze), any tips?

[tribal girder]

@frail spear looks about like this

melee weapon of choice

trauma with blazing spirit warp nexus

or rending shockwave warp flurry

either works in scab melee maelstrom

[frail spear]

right on. thanks for the info i appreciate it

[cosmic sigil]

if you go blaze trauma you reaaaaaally want mettle and perfect timing

[lethal lagoon]

For blaze trauma? You can't use BM, so you should take that point, along with the one at the bottom and get perfect timing and mettle

[wind spruce]

Mettle is one of the most important talents with blaze trauma

(Defense wise)

[lethal lagoon]

I mean you can use BM, but that's like crippling your crit chance.

[tribal girder]

Not really. In my experience the proc rate is not good enough. Especially since you are using BB all the time, trauma without peril reduction can't be used often

It's not a trauma spam build it's a BB spam build

[lethal lagoon]

I understand, but that's leaving a ton on the table for basically 0 benefit

[wind spruce]

Trauma absolutely does not need battle med

[lethal lagoon]

BM isn't going to be procing off BB that much

[wind spruce]

You have solidity, you don't need anything else for peril management

And battle med does even less for BB

[tribal girder]

Say what you will. You should be convincing the guy asking for build not me

[lethal lagoon]

[wind spruce]

Porque no los dos

[wind spruce]

What weapon are you using? Columnus into a horde seems like the best bet

[cosmic sigil]

"In my experience"

[tribal girder]

Yes in my experience

I have a ton of success with a normal trauma build

I know how it works

[wind spruce]

You could maybe even use trauma at a pinch, should be able to fit in a cast or two onto a big horde, especially if you pre-charge trauma before activating scriers

[wind spruce]

A ton of success doesn't mean that your build couldn't be better

[lethal lagoon]

2 Blazing Trauma crits would kill off a massive horde

[lime tusk]

G

[wind spruce]

We all have a lot of experience with trauma, homie

[lethal lagoon]

But that sounds memey to get the scierir's penance

[wind spruce]

Doing penances is the meme

[lethal lagoon]

[wind spruce]

And you clearly do NOT really know the build that well if you're taking 15 toughness over mettle

Traumas radius is HUGE the same enemies that you tickle for 15 damage and apply soul blaze on crit? Every single one gives you 5% toughness with mettle, usually instantly refilling your bar

[tribal girder]

Ok lol you advice the guy then

[wind spruce]

Yessir

[tribal girder]

I gonna head off

[wind spruce]

Adios

[ornate hamlet]

With "enhanced blitz" on maelstrom, is that like a passive empowered psionics? If so, does it stack?

[strong gulch]

I think the original query was about brain burst. Idk if it's supposed to be the focus of the build or not.

BB / BR does work well with your standard blazing trauma build, but it is not the focus of that build.

If someone is looking specifically for BB / BR, then EP is the way to go.

[queen trout]

has this always stacked with empowered psionics? just tried in a ranged only maelstrom and was machine gun head popping gunners

[gilded marten]

which one is good?

[onyx sentinel]

Backed up into the huge fan at Hourglass and lost the auric streak fuck me

Game fucking sucks

[queen trout]

I'd say left, damage is dump stat. Burn ideally would be 76 I think it not but not a huge deal

Right isn't bad for when hadron bricks the first one

[gilded marten]

aight

[strong gulch]

As far as I know, yes.

However, not too long ago the pause between cast was reduced. So that might be contributing to it feeling different.

[paper lily]

can't believe they buffed ep smite it does insane dmg now

[latent hill]

Empowered psionics smite?

[paper lily]

yeah

[jovial juniper]

200% dmg babeee

[paper lily]

it's actually unreal how much damage i'm doing

[solid elk]

So when it comes to the purge staff, is 39% damage too low? The rest are all around 80.

[paper lily]

you can legit have 0% dmg on purg staff and it'll be fine

[jovial juniper]

You need a good burn

[latent hill]

BUUUUUUUUUURRRRRN

[gilded marten]

im rocking this staff rn

[latent hill]

Long’s the burn’s high

Cuz you’ll be using that secondary action a lot

[late violet]

Is the purge staff better than the Voidstrike staff?

[gilded marten]

ah

the flame spam

[solid elk]

I use the Voidstrike a lot, but I wanna do something different for once lol

[latent hill]

I use surge for the armored targets

[strong gulch]

The things to aim for first on purg is burn 76+ and cloud radius 80.

[gilded marten]

how much dmg is the smite doing rn?

[strong gulch]

All of the staves are good.

They all have their uses.

purg is aoe fodder clear but lacks range

surge is more single target but handles shooters well

Void and trauma are more generalist weapons. Void having much stronger single target damage and trauma is more aoe and CC.

[gilded marten]

tbh trauma feels very awkward to use for me

[latent hill]

You use it to knock down enemies

Even ohryns

Ogryns*

[strong gulch]

Valid. Trauma needs high rolls and is a polarizing staff.

[solid elk]

I pop a lot more if I use Trauma lol

[gilded marten]

it doesn't feels right when whole bunch weak enemy is inside circle range but it only pop 2 or 3 enemy 😐

[latent hill]

I mean… would it be because you wiped them from existence?

There’s also the caveat of the whole damage being more at the center

[strong gulch]

Trauma has A LOT of cleave, CC, and can manage ranged. I thing the break point for one shotting bruisers is 74 damage or something.

[potent echo]

If you full charge a trauma it should oneshot every trash

You don't even need a very high damage roll

[strong gulch]

Trauma hit enemies way outside of the circle. That's where blazing trauma comes in.

[potent echo]

The stagger radius is around twice of the kill radius

[strong gulch]

ye

[potent echo]

I finally got my auric exemplar title yesterday

By playing ogin

[strong gulch]

You can get in a rythym and spam danger circles at high peril. Slip up and you die tho.

[potent echo]

And for those asking, yes you can quit out of a mission and continue the streak (?)

[spice veldt]

also helps to have a good stat roll cuz trauma is one of the highest stat scaling weapons

and the visual indicator that you see is a lie

because the circle's size is always assuming that you have 100% blast radius

[latent hill]

Hmm… problem is getting the one for without anyone getting downed

[plucky flax]

F

[plucky flax]

Nice cheat

[terse saffron]

worth the pickup?

[cosmic sigil]

You just put warp nexus instead of terrifying and flak instead of maniac and it's excellent

[potent echo]

i dont know about reconnect while you are down but i just straight up left one game because it was lost

but then it wouldn't count the next game, so you need to complete n+1 mission everytime you do this probably

[primal plume]

For Surge staff, is it better to spam half charged casts or full casts?

[strong gulch]

Full casts.

But, check in the meat grinder because there are enemies that might need a full cast + a partial (or LMB).

Full charge is more damage, but the damage is a spectrum (more or less). So there can be inconsistencies, especially if you don't have buffs from talents or blessing up (like casting at low peril when using nexus blessing or warp wrider talent).

[potent echo]

i guess its three times

[lethal lagoon]

It's around double for 50ish blast radius

[plucky flax]

Good purga I'd go flak unyielding and nexus flurry

[upper galleon]

Full charge and it charges really quick

Especially once you start chaining with flurry blessing

[fluid aspen]

I sure do love my keystones not working at all

Disrupt Destiny stacks decaying in 3 seconds despite using the 10s talent, and marks not spawning after a while

Also not getting 3 stacks from weakspot kills

[upper galleon]

Yee people been going the other dd talent cause that one is broken

[plucky flax]

It's ui bug. The stack that appears is the speed buff

The actual dd counter sometimes just don't show at all for the entire round. But you still get damage.

[paper lily]

happens with vent too

[fluid aspen]

Still feels like it's not marking anything either, in massive hordes having no targets

[plucky flax]

Massive trash horde or mixed horde?

It'll only tag elites and bruisers.

And smol shooters.

[fluid aspen]

Love that this isn't mentioned anywhere

But I'm not sure, the game crashed and I went down to the store instead

[plucky flax]

[severe folio]

any new weapon since the shovel

[vestal fulcrum]

No

[upper galleon]

No. Just variants. New new weapons this year as well as variants

Most likely with the crafting and itemization rework

[severe folio]

whats the new variant since those shove and the revolver

[upper galleon]

I think that was the last drop 💀

[severe folio]

any new skills

[upper galleon]

New stuff is all cosmetic besides the new special, hab dreyko rework, puzzle on every map and the tox gas modifier

[severe folio]

i sleep

[upper galleon]

Tons of penances and free stuff but this is clearly “this is what we wanted for launch sorry”

[fluid aspen]

Does Purg get any Weakspot procs? Is there any reason to take True Aim with it?

Gonna try swapping from Scrier Warp Surge to Vent EP for my Warpfire build

[upper galleon]

No

It doesnt benefit from crit damage in any meaningful way either

[ornate hamlet]

Are you kidding?

[fluid aspen]

Crit on Purg applies extra Warpfire stack

[ornate hamlet]

There's a talent that lets you get damage (and toughness I think) from crit. And if you have that on a flamethrower.

Crits all day.

[upper galleon]

Yes

That isn’t crit damage

[upper galleon]

That is crits giving you a damage boost

Yes

That isnt crit damage

Please read

[ornate hamlet]

And?

You're still getting the proc.

[fluid aspen]

Soulblaze gets damage from Warp Damage modifiers right?

[upper galleon]

And for crit applying extra proc, the math has been done, with nexus and the crit chance you naturally get in your talent tree, you already keep EE proc’d hit 16 stacks slightly faster and maintain perfect timing

[ornate hamlet]

It is a warp debuff.

[upper galleon]

Omfg stop being a nerd witch and twisting my words ive explained countless times i was referring to just critical hit damage bonuses

[ornate hamlet]

You need to chill. I was responding to lemings.

[upper galleon]

You responded to me lol

[ornate hamlet]

No, this is responding to you.

[fluid aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/munsonated-gif-26549638

[ornate hamlet]

Anyway, Lemings, the answer is yes.

[fluid aspen]

Though so

[upper galleon]

Blud is on some waffles and pancakes shit crit chance enables good shit with purge i just wanted to mention crit damage boosts with weakspot damage boosts

[ornate hamlet]

💀

[plucky flax]

RIP my boi gojira.

[supple dock]

so. i tried to play without gunner resistance. i died. so fast. to a pack of gunners because I was used to playing more aggro vs them holy shit

[potent echo]

decided to try to do the auric maelstrom penance, why is maelstrom pubs so much more challenging than aurics 🤔

[lethal lagoon]

Do you mean why are normal maelstrom pubs so much more cahllenging, or did you indeed mean auric.

Cause I feel like that's just a natural difficulty progression.

[plucky flax]

Huh I've never used gunner resist.

[supple dock]

gunner resist fucks

[fluid aspen]

[plucky flax]

I've no perks left.

[fluid aspen]

Gunners can get in the bin

[supple dock]

since it covers gunners of both factions and reapers

[fluid aspen]

The gunner stunlock is bullshit

[supple dock]

yeee, it allows you to smack them before your toughness gets shredded

[plucky flax]

I run deflector instead then hide.

[potent echo]

no auric maelstrom and QP auric, feels like auric maelstrom players are high level but dont seem to know how to play

[upper sun]

its still luck based

i tried playing the same auric scab one 3 times once first and second my team wiped in the first encounter then the 3rd time it was too easy since two fuckers were soloing 90% of the enemies

[rigid sky]

Sometimes a good team still gets bodied lmao

I had a game where we got wiped out in the first room but everybody was a good sport about it and we formed a strike team

And then walked round 2

[radiant frigate]

lesson learned

[rigid sky]

Honestly I feel like gunners are designed around having resistance curios

[supple dock]

gunners are a fuckin menace

[radiant frigate]

since they travel in packs yes

one gunner is whatever

[hardy delta]

just tried the monstronum penance in random heresy game, and it didnt count

[radiant frigate]

it requires a private match

[rigid sky]

Think it needs a private game still

For some fucking deranged reason

[hardy delta]

seems like the string about private game is not cosmetic now

the thing is

nobody fucking cares helping in #vox-lfg-emea

[upper sun]

i feel like i can tank gunners better without curios

idk how prolly because im more careful then

[potent echo]

i rather have +5% health honestly

[rigid sky]

¿Porque no los dos?

[supple dock]

cooldown, toughness, gunner resist for me

on all 3

[upper sun]

ye ideally 2xcombat 3xtoughness and 3xhp and like corruption resistance or something else

[potent echo]

revive speed

[upper sun]

ye also not a bad choice

sprint/stamina also good

pretty much anything except curio/hounds/muties

[dim parrot]

porque me gusta arepa con chorizo

[radiant frigate]

my current setup is gunner/toughness/corruption resist
because fuck bursters

many such cases

[dim parrot]

don't do the burster pls

[radiant frigate]

well, as it stands, the burster did me

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1046914150363844779/1230482539437625404/i_hate_bursters.mp4?ex=66337b2a&is=6621062a&hm=75dbb30f473ddf2133e0eb83d37ae7ca4743ead4654eb3abfb31d1cf3aeb4e24&

[plucky flax]

I run 2x sniper resist

[supple dock]

Yeah this seems about r ight

[marble crater]

Why? Just dodge

[dim parrot]

he sure did pop something

[plucky flax]

Not when I can't see the laser from behind.

I don't run gunner resist cos even if shot from behind I have time to react and it's slow chip damage.

[supple dock]

When you find yourself surrounded after bounding a corner and there's 2 snipers that you can't dodge is a pretty good scenario for sniper resist

[plucky flax]

No resist sniper shot is like 3/4 hp.

While having 2x resist it allows me to tank at least 3 shots.

[marble crater]

I haven't had those scenarios thankfully, maybe that's why I don't see the value yet. Still learning after all

[calm sapphire]

ew

[upper sun]

not getting shot by snipers means you can tank infinity shots

[radiant frigate]

idk that seems super niche

[plucky flax]

Yes I am veri bad.

[dim parrot]

I mean if it happens its pretty useful

but it rarely happens

[potent echo]

its more you can survive 1 sniper shot at half hp

[supple dock]

While it is super niche, those specific scenarios can kill a whole run, so I think it's worthwhile

[untold niche]

why do you expect people to care xd

[fluid aspen]

I am still dreading having nothing but Malleus Monstronum left

[lethal lagoon]

I helped someone do it, and we easily did it on the first try. And then on my turn we spent like 2 hours and had 0 luck and then I got busy

TBF, they were kinda new, so they wern't as good soloing all the spawns

but still, it was some epicly bad luck

Silent trappers, chaos spawns only, etc

All I wanted was that slugussy

[fluid aspen]

It's such a crappy penance

[lethal lagoon]

I know, and 50% is so easy to get in a normal game now

[upper sun]

dh and ogryn shield are ok

[lethal lagoon]

Like anytime I run BB I'm getting that

Just unprivate it, I don't want to run heresy till we find something, heresy is yucky

[untold niche]

a5mael
+90 dropped hp pack right before we dropped im like ????

[fluid aspen]

Does it still work in publics?

I heard it worked in public before when it was 90% despite what it said

[upper sun]

bruh this one right here

[lethal lagoon]

I haven't BBed since the update, so maybe it does lmao

I guess I'll see

[upper sun]

i dont wanna use that aura REEEEEEEEEEE

[fluid aspen]

Do Maelstroms that have increased spec/elite spawns

[lethal lagoon]

That would actually be genius if they made it so people just stop trying to get it in normal games

[marble crater]

I use the aura on the same build I use to work on the shield and EP penances

[upper sun]

Yeah but the issue is

[lethal lagoon]

He don't wanna

[upper sun]

i dont want to use the aura 😭

[lethal lagoon]

🐌

[upper sun]

wow i can finally have access to the best talent in the game

UNLUCKY FOR SOME

[lethal lagoon]

I really wish that talent gave bigger bonuses

Because it just sounds so funny to run

Even better if it get bonuses if a teammate died, that'd be so toxic lmao

[upper sun]

Low on toughness? barrel a teammate

[fluid aspen]

At least you still have One with the Warp when running Kinetic Presence

[upper sun]

why cant we have an all elites game mode?

shit with ep/psy aura would get so GOOFY

[hollow current]

Vermintide 2’s heroic deed with all elite ambient spawns and 2x damage and hp

[lethal lagoon]

All elites mode with PC?

Lmao

There wouldn't be time to get goofy

[marble crater]

Melee elites only

[upper sun]

like not even specialists JUST ELITES

[plucky flax]

Bring back tzeentch twins.

[hexed storm]

I need advice on a voidstrike staff, what do you guys recommend I do with this?

[lethal lagoon]

Better yet, make a map end with a super chaos spawn or something

S tier: Surge Nexus, Nexus Flurry
A tier: Surge Flurry, Transfer Flurry

[hexed storm]

Seemsl like I can't post a picture

[upper sun]

hi new people have to post a little bit more before they can post pictures please write it down

[hexed storm]

Gotcha, gimme a sec

[upper sun]

game mode where you are just teleported to VT2 maps

WELCOME TO THE MODERN ERA FANTASY NERDS

[lethal lagoon]

Chaos spawn randomly reproduces through budding with a 10% chance after grabbing someone. This can repeat

[marble crater]

[dim parrot]

[lethal lagoon]

Low-key, that was my first thought. Then I wrote something helpful instead and got ignored.

[upper sun]

two chaos spawns in the map and if they ever touch they regen hp

[hexed storm]

mk4 voidstrike :
dmg: 79%, warp res: 78%, quel speed:80%, blast radius: 80% , charge rate : 63%
Perks:
+20% damage (infested)
+8% ranged dmg (specialist)
Blessings:
Blazing Spirit 3
Sustained fire 4

[plucky flax]

f

[lethal lagoon]

Nuke it from orbit

[upper sun]

F

[lethal lagoon]

Nuke twice just in case

[hexed storm]

Bad ?

[lethal lagoon]

That's about as bad as you can get.

Literally can't be worse

[upper sun]

charge rate is a bit low and you're 0/4 for stuff

[hexed storm]

So sell ?

[wet belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/spiders-fireman-fire-kill-it-with-fire-gif-13113923

[upper sun]

nah keep it in case crafting update unbricks it

[lethal lagoon]

I keep all legendaries because I have no idea what new changes they'llmake

[hexed storm]

What stats should I be looking for ?

Not blessings or perks , just stats

[lethal lagoon]

Damage and Charge rate are the most important

[upper sun]

damage charge quell

[lethal lagoon]

Blast radius is actually better if it's low

Blast radius can fuck up headshots, which is the main feature of using a voidstrike

[upper sun]

yeah

[hexed storm]

58dmg, 78 charge and 76 quelll ?

Blast is 80 tho

so bad I guess

[upper sun]

damage should be the main stat

blast is not very good

[lethal lagoon]

You want damage, charge, and quell above 70

[fluid aspen]

58 damage is already bad

[upper sun]

if you inspect the weapon you can see the range for blast radius

its very low

[hexed storm]

Gotcha, so as a semi new player. I consecrate those and hope for good blessings ?

[upper sun]

pretty much though dont bother with that unless you're level 30

[hexed storm]

I am

[upper sun]

perfect

for a more detailed explanation of everything check out the pinned guide

[lethal lagoon]

Feel from to post a screenshot of the future weapons in here, cause there's no undoing some bad crafting choices and a lot of the perks/blessings aren't what they seem.

Whenever you can screenshot

[hexed storm]

Will defo do that

Thanks :)

[supple dock]

brb rolling an 80 damage purg staff

[upper sun]

🤔

the burn is 76 rite? RIGHT?

[supple dock]

80 or scrap, you just don't understand high tier weapons

[upper sun]

neither do the devs tbh

[supple dock]

[fluid aspen]

Decided to look for a new Voidstrike because of this conversation

[upper sun]

380 YEAH ||burn is the dumpstat||

[fluid aspen]

This is the first one from Brunt's Armoury

[lethal lagoon]

[upper sun]

I kneel....

[supple dock]

[upper sun]

tbh

[fluid aspen]

Time to get absolutely shafted by Hadron

[upper sun]

took me 14 attempts before i got one with ONE of the stats i wanted

[untold niche]

:/

[supple dock]

14? that's rookie numbers

[lethal lagoon]

ONE of the stats brother

[supple dock]

I've scrapped 200+ staves to get the one I have

[lethal lagoon]

Oh, brunt loves me, I don't have that problem

Now hadron

[fluid aspen]

[supple dock]

Hadron is USUALLY nice to me

Brunt's a dick tho

[lethal lagoon]

Low-key, I've been running the math, surge flurry might be better than surge nexus

Might as well try it

[fluid aspen]

I do enjoy Flurry, used to run it on another Voidstrike and use it on my Purg

[supple dock]

wait on surge? shouldn't you just run both?

[upper sun]

pretty good

[lethal lagoon]

Surge blessing lmao

[supple dock]

OH

I got SO confused

[lethal lagoon]

Did you tune out of the convo

[supple dock]

YES

LMAO

Bruh I've been on a 8/14 cycle of waking and sleep

I am fucked up

[upper sun]

hell yeah

[lethal lagoon]

For reference to fucked up sleep cycles, I live in the U.S and have a normal job

🤡

[upper sun]

real eu hours

[hexed storm]

This build any good ? :
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a6454b8-4180-4dc7-93ee-e817b21f25cc/auric-maelstrom-bubble-smite-support

[fluid aspen]

I can run this voidstrike on my Assail because of True Aim, but it wouldn't work well without Nexus on my BB build

[lethal lagoon]

Voidstrike without true aim is kinda yucky

Also it completely overlaps with BB

So

[fluid aspen]

Yeah but Trauma is meh and I haven't had a single useable Surge yet

[supple dock]

You can probably do without the surge augments and get perilous combustion

[lethal lagoon]

Surge is like the easiest weapon to roll in the entire game

What is your luck lmao

[upper sun]

eh id go illisi with void also +5 crit perk is kinda big on surge/nexus void

[fluid aspen]

Never bothered, not really a fan of the staff

[lethal lagoon]

[upper sun]

also upgrades for smite are a waste

[hexed storm]

Even if I want it as a CC build ?

[lethal lagoon]

No.

Do not run Smite bubble unless you hate life

[upper sun]

YOUR TIME TO SHINE

[potent echo]

wow i just had a game where someone was running that

[fluid aspen]

CSC to Carapace, Transfer Peril to Surge?

[potent echo]

[supple dock]

sounds good to me

[upper sun]

tbh i vote keep both perks

[hexed storm]

I mean I play my psyker as a CC/support. Any good builds for that ?

[supple dock]

wait wait

[lethal lagoon]

For EP smite.

You get a stack of EP, use Smite, at 85% peril use F, contiune using smite till 99%.

[fluid aspen]

It would result in a very interesting machinegun

[charred shuttle]

But does your build have mjolnir

[upper sun]

ye i second this build

[charred shuttle]

Not a real lightning build without mjolnir

😠

[lethal lagoon]

To be clear the scoreboard was pre-patch, and EP smite got a huge buff

[fluid aspen]

I like both Transfer Peril and Warp Flurry but I feel like I'd be missing out on a lot of damage without Surge

[hexed storm]

what weapons/curios ?

[lethal lagoon]

Doesn't matter lmao

[upper sun]

no reason you cant own more than one void

[fluid aspen]

Yeah this is my 4th one

[lethal lagoon]

It works with literally anything

You can even just spam smite the whole game and outDPS 99% of randoms.

[upper sun]

🤔 does smite still crash people's games?

[marble crater]

Please don't

[lethal lagoon]

0 weakspot 0 crits meta

Imagine losing to a guy with those stats

[upper sun]

smite is an addiction

break free

[lethal lagoon]

Despite my love for it, I try not to play it too much

It rots the brain

This game was not designed to handle an optmized smite build

[lethal lagoon]

Shirek is important for using Smite, otherwise it's pretty medicore.

That's why I hate bubble smite.

[supple dock]

I run BR cause im a chad

that and trying to snipe with the staves is a fuckin nightmare

[hexed storm]

Fair, just to continous stun is worth more than the possible damage negated by bubble

[fluid aspen]

Voidstrike be like "what"

[supple dock]

trueee, i meant lmb tho

[marble crater]

But how will you work on both penances at the same time then?

[lethal lagoon]

#psyker-class message

[lethal lagoon]

Smite penance only took me 1.5 games.

[fluid aspen]

What are you triggering Perfect Timing with? Does smite have any sort of crit?

[marble crater]

How much did you smite?

[lethal lagoon]

I mean you can spam EP smite, but I don't always do that

That build is typically with surge

[lethal lagoon]

[hexed storm]

damn

[supple dock]

I'm considering running smite

and I hate that sentence already

[hexed storm]

lol

What do I prioritise on Illisi mk5 ?

nvm

[supple dock]

pretty much anything tbh

deflector and slaughterer are the only things you really need to worry about imo

[lethal lagoon]

Mobility and Warp resist are low priority

[supple dock]

^ that too

High first target, finesse, and damage can be the difference between 1shotting a gunner to 2 shotting

[rigid sky]

Deflector is very optional

Uncanny can be good

[lethal lagoon]

#psyker-class message
Typical EP smite gameplay. pre-patch, so it's way stronger now.
(ignore the true level, my alt psyker)
I show the scoreboard at the end too.

[fluid aspen]

Deflector with Kinetic Deflection

[rigid sky]

Bloodthirsty a bit underrated imo, not great but has synergy with Mettle and acts like a power Cycler 3 at home

Oh, deflector is great too

[radiant frigate]

my standard setup runs voidstrike with bb..

💀

[marble crater]

I use uncanny, because my ds4 doesn't have deflector and I don't want to get into the habit of trying to block shooters and dying

[supple dock]

Slaughterer is just really nice in general though

[rigid sky]

But some people get great value from it, other people don't

[supple dock]

I get... ok value from deflector

[rigid sky]

Slaughterer fits Illisi really well yeah

[radiant frigate]

"hello, would you like 40% more power during hordes?"

[supple dock]

trueeee

[rigid sky]

Mine is slaughterer/bloodthirsty

[lethal lagoon]

[supple dock]

what's bloodthirsty do again?

[hexed storm]

busted lol

[rigid sky]

After a special attack kill, your next attack crits

[marble crater]

crit after special?

[supple dock]

oooh

[fluid aspen]

I get that Warp Resist is the dump stat but damn

[supple dock]

right

[rigid sky]

It's not super great

[lethal lagoon]

EP smite is super comfy

[rigid sky]

But I like it

[rigid sky]

Some builds would love that

[supple dock]

Yeah I typically don't like the blessings that have you shift your playstyle around it

[rigid sky]

Eh, doesn't change much really for me

[radiant frigate]

cursed sword that is immensely sharp but summons daemons

[rigid sky]

Uncharged illisi is already good if you run DD

[radiant frigate]

illisi kinda goated overall

[rigid sky]

It's not a power sword, even if it feels similar

[supple dock]

Yee, I like opening with a charged strike to guarantee the slaughterer stacks then I only charge for elites afterwards

[rigid sky]

It has good baseline damage

[supple dock]

Then I'll use a charged strike to keep peril up

[rigid sky]

Power Sword without power is an actual piece of shit

[supple dock]

power sword without power is literally just sword

[radiant frigate]

unpower sword is Definitely Something

[rigid sky]

It's a fucking bad sword at that lmao

[rigid sky]

It's a foam cricket bat

[radiant frigate]

force/power greatswords when?

please fatshark i have a mighty need

[rigid sky]

Chain shovel pls

[radiant frigate]

shovel and dagger

I hate bubble but playing ep assail voidstrike bubble is kinda chill.

[lethal lagoon]

Remember when bubble was spammable

59k/200k or even 250k I can't remember

Big grind for that penance

[radiant frigate]

[marble crater]

You are quick, those keystone and krak ones takes so long

[radiant frigate]

krak is one of the two missing

krak and weapon spec

both of which i kept for last because they are part of my usual setup anyway

[marble crater]

Smart, that's what I will do with focus target, for marksmen focus I will just mag dump into poxwalkers, I don't care

[radiant frigate]

500 marked targets is easy when you get into the habit of just marking things

marksman's focus i did majority with melee

[marble crater]

Huh

[radiant frigate]

Yes

modifier to generate stacks when standing still or moving crouched

set crouch to toggle

crabwalk into hordes

you can still dodge

after all it does not specify ranged kills

[marble crater]

Thanks, I will try that

I am a bit unclear about weapon specialist, do I just need to kill with a crit, or a crit in the weakspot?

[radiant frigate]

crit in the weakspot

[marble crater]

Maybe I should leave that one for last then

[fluid aspen]

[supple dock]

[plucky flax]

90 toughness so brave

[potent echo]

this is correct, they take the wounds so they use them

[marble crater]

Poxburster cosplay

[supple dock]

Only if more people realized that wounds are only good when you use them, and you shouldn't be trying to use them ;;

[upper sun]

just bind tag to lmb

easy

[glossy ridge]

Is disrupt destiny bugged or just complete shit? Frequently gives zero stacks on kill or it only gives one despite having cruel fortune and watching the assail dart go through their fucking head. That's when it doesn't mark some motherfucker >25m and two rooms away. If that's not bugged, disrupt destiny is easily the shittiest talent in the game.

[upper sun]

ye

sometimes i kill blues and get zero stacks

not my problem anymore got the penance

[glossy ridge]

Yeah never touching this trash again after defy fate is finished

[fluid aspen]

Best keystone for assail

[glossy ridge]

half the time it doesn't even register the kill with dart

[marble crater]

It's a visual bug, as far as I know

[marble crater]

Nooooo

[upper sun]

YES YES LET THE WARP FLOW THROUGH

[marble crater]

It's soooo annoying and actually unhelpful on top of that

The youtubers who suggest that deserve wet sleeves after washing their hands

[plucky flax]

Guys I'm gonna play bubble smite psyker.

[marble crater]

With purgatus?

[plucky flax]

Is it best you think?

I was gonna use void to take out shooters.

[marble crater]

Purgatus and illisi, yes

[plucky flax]

Wait why illisi and purga.

I am using ds4.

[marble crater]

To complete the meme build

[plucky flax]

Actually I'll play ds5.

DS5 EP smite bubble purga.

Sounds solid enough I should do maybe 200k damage.

[marble crater]

Void instead of purga, to be serious, since you have smite already

I use purga with shield, but I use assail to have something for long range

[supple dock]

lmao, purg illisi and smite

let's fucking go

you can be useful in 1 specific scenario 3 different ways!

What's Critical Bonus on Surge staff?

[marble crater]

Crit chance and crit damage, I think?

[radiant frigate]

Real

enter room -> smite -> shriek -> continue smiting

room cleared :)

[supple dock]

Yeah no I can't do that

I need to get my hands in the filth

[marble crater]

Kinetic delfection, stand in horde and block, shriek

[rich jolt]

Half way? Doing it wrong buddy i got mine down to a quarter

Love that build

[supple dock]

oxygen, lacking, face hitting keyboard, win game

[potent echo]

smite shield psykers stay winning

[plucky flax]

Interesting deimos this guy has.

[supple dock]

[marble crater]

Perfect flame illisi though, if only

[supple dock]

weapon that shreds everything without crit

builds crit

[untold niche]

i ran DDU and my computer runs so good now

no more artifacting on web too

[supple dock]

why would that make it run better, does it uninstall previous installments?

[untold niche]

yeah, wipe all your past drivers, and driver stacking causes some problems

i was getting TDR video failure

[supple dock]

oooh

[untold niche]

then i was curious what was the fix

[supple dock]

Huh. I'll have to keep that nugget in my back pocket

[untold niche]

i cant confirm that running ddu solved it, but it did make my web browsing not artifcat at least for now

its weird because usaully artifacting mean its super bad
(i.e. if your artifacting has many colours its basically dead gpu)

Mine was just random black squares of varying sizes and only during web browsing

in game perfectly fine lol

@supple dock

[supple dock]

Ooooh

[loud parrot]

what needs to change on this stick?

[hexed geyser]

You can die from the big fan??? Since when...?

[patent wing]

amd?

[sonic raven]

well you'd really need to walk into it intentionally, since you need to touch it to die, but I always avoided it nonetheless

[marble crater]

Flak instead of stamina

With 1% more burn you could have max burn stacks, but this will work perfectly fine

[willow escarp]

anybody got details on latest patch changes? DD is… better now? or what?

[supple dock]

Is burn effected by perks?

[marble crater]

Yes

[supple dock]

Cause that's one question I always had aha

[hexed geyser]

I dodged backward into it, i didn't know it was possible. In my head it always was a normal wall like any other.

[supple dock]

But yeah, crit and flak should be fine then

[feral verge]

Stam to flak damage

Then it's perfect

[marble crater]

Crit applies double stacks, which is nice

[untold niche]

@patent wing uh nah

nvidia

but ddu works for amd too apparently

i prefer nvidia gpu features

gsync, geforce exp, dlss etc

[supple dock]

ooooh

[near drift]

If you're using venting shriek the burn stacks it gives can go above the limit purgatus has, so for maxing burn on big targets cook them with your staff first and then hit em with the shriek vent

[untold niche]

i haven't tried but i prefer the old one
New one is: stack decay one by one, 4 second.
Either choose 25 max cap or 10 second duration decay

[near drift]

I like this DD version better tbh cuz before it was a lot more anger inducing if the target got put behind some wall or a teammate was already shredding the group they were in

If it happens now it's not that big a loss

[untold niche]

it was 30 seconds, was quite easy to refresh in 30 seconds personally, and you could always VS through the wall

[willow escarp]

saw telopots saying he thinks it's even more busted now than before, havent tried the new one yet

[untold niche]

i had it on void (not even gun) and i never lost stacks unless elevator or director decided not to spawn anything

[near drift]

I think before when I was using DD it was just bugging out and not giving stacks at all more often than not, it's been a while since I used it before the current change

[potent echo]

how does one push heretics into it 🤔

[patent steeple]

btw am I dumb, or does Quietude not work with passive quelling/peril decay/whatever its called nowadays?

I have been using Quietude in all of my psyker builds, but I have found it lacking in value sometimes due to how fast the passive quelling/peril decay is...

[untold niche]

it should, i think easy psk test tho

[patent steeple]

psk means psykhanium, right?

[untold niche]

ya

[patent steeple]

well, problem: i don't have the mod that lets me actually fight in psykhanium to test things like that...

[near drift]

I remember someone did some big data collection for venting/peril decay stats at some point... don't have it saved tho

[untold niche]

https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/25

or you could go sedition, have a zombie hit you and then wait, see how fast / how much the toughness regen

i would just record but im doing work rn

[patent steeple]

actually, maybe I am just so used to Quietude that I lack experience on what it feels like to not use it, because most of the reasons why I feel like Quietude is not doing its thing during peril decay is because the toughness bar moves so little at once if I am not actively quelling...

[untold niche]

if you actively quell then quitude would prov too yeah

[rigid sky]

You're probably in a situation where you have 0 natural toughness regen

not killing, out of coherency, close to enemies, etc

I don't remember all the specific rules about it

but I know there's times when your regen is 0

[untold niche]

thats an easy way to test too yeah

[rigid sky]

so that trickle you're getting could just be the quietitude itself

[untold niche]

that said, its best to get mods for these kind of stuff so you don't have to rely on our answers

[patent steeple]

more like, I am unable to tell if the toughness I am getting is from passive regen or also quietude...

[untold niche]

there is no passive regen if you are not in coherency and you aren' doing anything

[patent steeple]

I am in coherency most of the time though...

[potent echo]

turns off when yo uare in melee

[rigid sky]

There's other factors that can cause it too

[untold niche]

then don't be , its not exactly hard to not be in coherency :v

[untold niche]

what turns off?

[patent steeple]

ahh... I didn't know that detail, actually... now I do, thx!

[potent echo]

passive coherency regen

[untold niche]

you can do this without trolling as well, just hunt for plasteels and you are alone. i uh really don't get you

[untold niche]

when you are in melee means zombie meleeing you?

does it regen then if shooters are shooting at you

or disabled oto

[rigid sky]

I think it's being in close range with any enemies iirc

Even if they aren't attacking you specifically
